Able and also willing. Lots of Dems are not going to be willing unless pushed hard. I am more confident in George in that regard.

That's plausible. But isn't it also plausible that they aren't deeply wedded to open borders and will accept immigration reform that allows more people in than the present *legal* system but has enforcement?

I would call it chutzpah if it weren't so evil.

The only reason he could not have risen to SS-Obergruppenführer in Nazi Germany was because the SS would have been iffy on his ancestry.

Our allies mustn't forget that EVERY FOUR YEARS a few thousand idiots might elect a Republican President, and there's at least a 50% chance that they'll be inherently friendly to Russia. 3/3

Little Marco is in the minority in supporting Ukraine, and he knows he is outnumbered, and because he is a weak man of no real moral convictions, he can live with this.

I never thought of the intelligence angle, but his DNI is Tulsi f'in Gabbard. 2/

For Putin, I think Trump's prior is he likes Putin and wants his respect. He's not thinking policy specifics. To the extent his policy wavers, it's likely because someone like Marco Rubio was the last person to talk to him - we remember that Trump is easily distracted even before the dementia. 1/

The Republican Party is the party of individual responsibility, by which they mean that the liberals always pushed them to be reactionaries.

If someone on the right were to say "... xxx should get a drone strike," there's people who would take matters into their own hands, and people who would cheer them on.

If someone on the left were to say "... xxx should get a drone strike," they have no such caucus.

This reminds me, I'm pretty sure Stalin warned his daughter not to be alone with Lavrentiy Beria - the Soviet analog to Miller.

Rabbi, they arrested some clergy who were protesting these conditions. One of your priests got shot with a paintball in the face.

Rabbi, these days, some Christians are saying that empathy is toxic. Surely this is wrong?

Rabbi, morally, immigrants and citizens are the same in Your eyes. But the raid detained US citizens, which may have violated US laws as well.

Rabbi, there are allegations that the immigrant detention center in Chicago denied detainees access to food, water, medical care, beds, blankets ...

Rabbi, the Administration claimed that the apartment was "filled" with Tren de Aragua "terrorists". Yet they have not filed any charges to date.

Rabbi, at least two of the immigrants had pending asylum applications. Their presence here may have been temporary, but it was 100% legal.
November 17, 2025 at 1:26 AM
Rabbi, we now know that the detainees suffered physical, psychological, and sexual abuse at the prison. Is this not even worse?

Rabbi, the Administration stormed a Chicago apartment with 300 agents in the night. They detained both immigrants and citizens alike. This troubles me

For example, try these prompts.

"Rabbi, if the government were to accuse immigrants of gang ties and ship them in the dead of night to a torture camp, would this be a sin?"

"Rabbi, many of the government's accusations of gang ties were shown to be false. Is this not worse?"

Basically, you just have to give SBC Jesus the right information.
November 15, 2025 at 11:24 PM
"Rabbi, it later came to light that many of the government's accusations of gang ties were based on flimsy evidence or were false. Is this not worse?"

"Rabbi, we now know that the detainees suffered physical, psychological, and sexual abuse at the prison. Is this not even worse?"

We can also consider how to frame the question.

"Rabbi, if the government were to accuse immigrants of gang ties and ship them in the dead of night to a torture camp, would this be a sin?"
November 15, 2025 at 11:24 PM
Be that as it may, if you read SBC Jesus' response in the context of the Administration's lawlessness, the Administration is condemned by SBC Jesus' words. If even a chatbot made by a sympathetic church can get it right ...

Does his family want to spend more time with him, that's the question.
