The media circus is sort of its usual self in how it covers identifiable minorities and does so based on indicated minority type.

Inclination to engage in criminal violence or threats of such violence has a positive correlation to not being too bright or to having grown up around a lot of violence. But there are lots of hotheaded idiots who don’t know how to make a positive difference.

If they weren’t rich, who would even want to talk to them bedside those trapped with them.

Sorry to say I know a bit too much about the elected government and senior bureaucratic official ranks in Europe being loaded with racists with hostility for Muslims. Even the center-left parties have shifted in the racist direction.

Indeed. An earlier poll from earlier this year showed that Trump still had no less than 38% of Hispanic voters standing with him.

A very high proportion of the DHS goons in Minnesota were Hispanic Americans from the southern parts of the US.

About 38% of Hispanic Americans still supported Trump as of earlier this year.

They don’t even want a long record of complaints that can be used in a future review, so they are deleting them after a year. Clearly, this is the kind of organization that doesn’t believe in accountability for misbehavior by public officials (and who knows who else). Shameful.

The figure for Republican men under 50 is a big warning sign about what kind of Republicans we are facing and will be facing. It also explains the support levels for Trump-Vance/Chief Justice Roberts concentration camps.

And most bike locks can be very quickly broken.

There are so many bike thefts in Scandinavian cities that the police rarely get involved in investigating any particular incident of such theft. Even if you have a remote tracker in the bike and locate it, the police are reluctant to get involved.

I bike less than I would prefer because I don’t want to deal with the hassles and cost of bike theft. Also, choosing to bike on a cheaper, junker bike means I enjoy the bike ride less and bike shorter distances than on my preferred bikes. And I have a thing against pay-per-ride bikes.

Lots of anti-Muslim racists in various European governments. Anti-Muslim racism is at root a European invention.

There are quite a lot of DOD contractors in South Carolina.

Scuttlebutt goes around from time to time saying he has the hots for Israeli guys with an IDF service record, but he’s just a warmongering lawyer who is a chickenhawk with a military law background but no combat experience.

Lindsey Graham is a warmongering buffoon as usual.

Saudi Arabia has a sizable Shia minority in the country plus also Shia Houthis to its south. The Saudis may not want to add to their risk profile with additional internal troubles on top of the external ones related to Iran.

The pool of people who want concentration camps and forced expulsions and deaths for Muslim Americans has only grown and grown over the last 24+ years. The Islamophobia industry has expanded and been mainstreamed far more than many people realize.

Even healthcare reform we got was an inadequate compromise. How much more unhealthy are people because of fear of personal medical bills & stress about what happens financially when hit by serious ailments. Insurance companies & HMOs rake in big $ & thrive on skyrocketing healthcare costs.

Unfortunately, the backlash to his election was hard and quite swift. By late 2009, many Democrats in Congress knew their career in Congress was done for it.

Diplomatic plate. The CD on Finnish-issued blue plates stand for Corps Diplomatique.

Looks like you were by the Stockmann store, and within a couple of blocks of it are plenty of embassies.

There are Catholic religious orders where women hold positions of authority, but the parent organization has a glass ceiling for women when it comes to the church bodies which are not sex-segregated.

ISIS doesn’t like Muslims to participate in democracy and have democratic governance, but not sure this is ISIS as much as two young hotheaded Pennsylvania Muslim guys who came with two IED-like things to toss at scheduled anti-Muslim protesters outside the mayor’s home.

Guard’s Google searches indicated thoughts on how guards make money on the side and save money on the side. The Googling involved searching the presumably rich guys in the BCC facility who were likely most able to bribe corruptible prison guards for contraband, protection, and other favors/waivers.

Government by, of and for social media influencers is in significant part why the US has this current ugly government. Nothing good will come from the UK following the same path of trolling engagement harvesting and click-bait.

Harris won Muslim voters, at about the same level of support as Jewish voters. But Harris did even better with atheists and Black Protestant women.

What are Barron Trump’s thoughts about rape and about his father raping women and children?

Her father was/is on good terms with the country’s emir.

Maybe he’s gotten the sense that Netanyahu wants Trump to nuke Qom and that Trump is the nukes-armed buffoon most eager to use a nuke.

One-size-fits-all diplomacy means some useful deals won’t happen. JCPOA was useful for signatories, and it was rather effective — arguably, more effective for non-Iranian signatories than for Iran, to the chagrin of harder Iranian hardliners who were more eager for nukes than Khamenei.

I don’t remember any such naturalization block during prior Danish national election periods, so I am sort of curious why this block now or if it’s just because the government doesn’t want announced names of newly-approved (and/or eligible) naturalization applicants to become an election issue.

I don’t recall such a formal stop during prior Danish national elections. Have they put this kind of pause in place during previous national elections?

Denmark just put a complete block on processing any new naturalizations. The excuse is that Denmark should wait until after the election.
