  • Hitler did away with the SA, you think Trump is going to worry about some disappointed magas?

  • For example?

  • We (the rest of the world) need to de-yankify our trade relations as soon as we can.

  • Ok, now go "inform" your shitty corpo democrats that they should PANDER BETTER to their own fucking electorate. Signed, a Canadian sick of stupid American politics. Do better yanks.

  • ICE is a law enforcement agency. It's a police. With a special immigration mandate.

    I guess I am not clear what is meant by “handle the processing of people as they complete the immigration process”. In Canada, things like applications and forms are handled by IRCC, the immigration ministry. Other than that, there is CBSA, which is like your CBP, but we don't have a specialized interior immigration police.

  • There needs to be some kind of immigration enforcement just to handle the processing of people as they complete the immigration process.

    No there doesn't. We don't have anything similar like a dedicated anti-immigration police in Canada or in the EU. There are border protection agencies and there are immigration bureaucracies, but this special immigration police thing going on in the US, is not a thing.

  • I think I understand what they mean. Trump is not a racist ideologue. He's not a "capital R" Racist, the way Hitler was. He's racist and his racism influences everything he does of course. But that's "lowercase r" racist. It's not what defines him, it's just one of his characteristics, maybe not even his most defining one.

  • So when are you yanks going to actually start shooting each other?

  • The world? No, it's the US.

  • See we can't have you voting for people the president doesn't like.

  • I wonder why he's not just joining the Libertarians.

  • With the whole Glastonbury kerfuffle I've come to know more about this band called Bob Vylan. They have this lovely song, and it goes ike this:

     raw
        
    I heard you want your country back
    Shut the fuck up
    I heard you want your country back
    Uh-uh, you can't have that
    The only place I know
    Stolen right under my nose
    By ignorant scum
    Tryna lay claim to a land that ain't theirs anyway
    Wait - what did you say?
    I heard you want your country back
    Ha! Shut the fuck up
    I heard you want your country back
    Uh-uh, you can't have that
    I heard you want your country back
    Ha! Shut the fuck up
    I heard you want your country back
    Well shit, me too
    
      
  • Fair

  • In between the matrix and 2011 you have 9-11, the Afghanistan and Iraq wars, the 2008 financial crash. And that's just the big US-centric stuff.

  • Wait, that's not satire????!!!

  • Just like with Putin's stooges, the grovelling and the self humiliation is the point.

  • Frankly, I have way more often ended up scratching my head for some cryptic piece of syntax than the opposite. Sure I could sit down and spend the rest of my life learning each language designer's favourite syntax optimisations, but I kinda don't want to. I'm a human, not a parser.

    And frankly, a good IDE editor should be able to fold/unfold verbose syntax. Better for it then to be there and folded, than for it to not be there and for someone to have to work backwards the intendrd meaning of every single line of code.

  • I don't understand why verbose is bad. Verbose is maintainable.
