240zness Posted January 19, 2018 Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 Fear is the tool.. We have no idea. Like we're toddlers they can scare us by turning off the lights. Our reactions are too predictable. 2 Link to comment
paradime Posted January 19, 2018 Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 The media is our enemy as proven by Wikileaks release of Podesta emails. Than why are we quoting the enemy all the time as though it validates our opinion? Taking responsibility for our beliefs as individuals, and thinking for ourselves is damn hard, and in a scary complex and always changing world we are all looking for a sense of security. it's just easier to join a tribal world view, a.k.a. a political party and be told what it all means, how to think, and what to do about it. Surrendering to an implicit bias creates cognitive dependance and learned helplessness similar to what keeps people in abusive relationships. Knowledge is power, and our mass media monopolies strive to keep Americans among the weakest people on the planet. Proven by the 2016 election and the crazy bias shit pouring out of the media ever since. I've never seen two more divergent manufactured realities as Democrats and Republicans.

Duncan Posted January 19, 2018 Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 Prosecuting business owners who cooperate with federal law will do a lot to help California's "business friendly" image.. ‘We will prosecute’ employers who help immigration sweeps, California AG says The state’s top cop issued a warning to California employers Thursday that businesses face legal repercussions, including fines up to $10,000, if they assist federal immigration authorities with a potential widespread immigration crackdown. “It’s important, given these rumors that are out there, to let people know – more specifically today, employers – that if they voluntarily start giving up information about their employees or access to their employees in ways that contradict our new California laws, they subject themselves to actions by my office,” state Attorney General Xavier Becerra said at a news conference. “We will prosecute those who violate the law.” http://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article195434409.html 1 Link to comment

Yes insane isn't it ? i think federal authorities are probably laughing about this.I think it would be interesting to see the feds arrest one of Cali's wacko liberals for obstructing federal law.Probably not possible though. 1 Link to comment

Duncan Posted January 20, 2018 Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 I hope the State arrests and prosecutes someone who will fight that, legally. I don't see how you can successfully prosecute someone for following a Federal law. The bad news is us California citizens will have to pay the cost of the legal fees and fines to defend the Sanctuary State law.. Now I finally understand why Cali gets so much shit heaped on it.

You would be thrown into a very violent jail system, denied your right to consult your Government's consul or Ambassador and left to rot. I think that "equal justice" demands similar treatment until Mexico owns up to its treaty obligations ! 1 Link to comment
paradime Posted January 20, 2018 Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 Astonished by the mad torrent of bovine scatology flowing out of the House of reps tonight. Does anybody really believe the government shutdown over the SPENDING bill was predicated on immigration issues? Give me a f'n break, Trump, Dems, Reps, and the entire Washington establishment couldn't give a flying fart about illegal aliens, but they sure as hell know how to use them as a political smoke screen. 2 Link to comment
