You know they don't let us take our guns home, right?

On this, I think we can agree.

Worthless shitstains.

I didn't used to hate old people, but I'm learning to.

So clearly he's not getting his head around the idea that China is willing to cut us off if we start making demands.

Either that, or he's trying to gain leverage for the tariff talks, and only has the one idea.

Indeed.

Of course, they are doing all the other for you mentioned, too. Morally, even if not legally. IANAL, so I can't speak with authority.

If words matter, I'm curious to know what definition of "deporting" you are using to claim that what they are doing is not deporting people.

An individual of refined taste, I see.

The one does not flow directly from the other. A better world requires some protecting from each other, which means giving up some freedoms. A system of complete and total freedom would not be good for most people.

However, as Franken said, it is important not to give up essential freedoms. What freedoms, exactly, count as "essential" ones? Hard to say. We should have a thread to discuss it.

That's petty awesome looking.

And really into witches.

Isn't everyone?

No, it isn't.

What does that have to do with my claim?

I don't know if you've noticed, but a lot of the trouble in the US was caused by people using their freedom to do terrible things to people, and to set the stage for more of the same.
