No they don’t. They deport the guy working for his family and fine the employer. Imagine the opposite situation where working illegally was a fine and employing illegal workers was losing your business license.
That’s how they punish underage drinking. It’s a massive issue for bars, and a small issue for the kid. Consequently, no bars serve underage kids. It works.
Or an immigrant. Or a woman (especially if you’re pregnant). Or if you lived near black people or immigrants. Or if you had long hair. Or maybe the local bank manager just didn’t like you. These were all acceptable reasons to deny your loan application prior to credit scores.
They literally made decisions based on things you can’t control. Banks are now legally prohibited from even asking these things. If you notice, people working at a bank will never ask “where are you from?”
So vote for Biden this year. Trump, as president, could ask people to commit crimes and then just pardon them. Nixon only resigned because it “looked bad”.
There are no legal repercussions as long as no one rats the president out. Why would they when he can pardon them?
It literally was not a slur. You are trying to burnish your progressive bonafides way too hard. Word meanings change over time.
As you mentioned, there was actual slavery happening at the time. Being called a “negro” was the last thing a slave would worry about. They wouldn’t even identify as that because, because they would consider themselves Ashanti or Igbo or some other West African ethnic group. It’d be like calling you “North American” (I assume).

“They want law and order … every week they’re being robbed,” Trump said of businesses in New York, as he tried to compare his prosecution with the state of New York streets. “You know where the crime is? It’s in the bodegas.”
Lol. This bodega is in a sleepy part of Manhattan with immigrants and young families. The major “crimes” are rent prices and a few losers stealing ho-hos.
It’s pretty simple. You don’t care about a particular grain of rice unless it’s special in some way (maybe something is drawn on it). Prices are always dependent on what people believe about the object. The “law” just defines the general parameters.
Also, there are many “exceptions” to the theory of gravity and apples do not always fall. Is an apple on a table falling? What about if you lift it? Oh my God, it’s doing the opposite of falling! How is that possible?!?
Shanahan, a millennial patent attorney and California mega donor
Hmm…
Kennedy chose the 38-year-old tech attorney, he said, for her experience in emerging technologies like AI and has spoken positively about her track record on the environment and inquisitive mind. She boasts a compelling personal story, having grown up on welfare, with a hard-scrabble upbringing that runs counter to his elite family. She was also, presumably, chosen to round out his ticket in the gender and age departments.
Shanahan, the source said, is someone who has had “the whole deck stacked against her” and has ascended to become “a living embodiment of this American dream that is evaporating for so many people.”
“I think it’s going to resonate with a large swath of the electorate,” the source said.
Why would I care that she is a Millennial who “made it”? She’s a patent attorney. How is she going to help me and people like me at all? She likes “AI”, the “environment”, and has an “inquisitive mind”?
Millennials are not that stupid. I don’t think they care if someone “like them” is elected, unless that person has good ideas. It’s like when Republicans run one of the few brown skinned people they have. Most non-white people have been lied to for decades. They’re not going to be tricked that easily.
Fucking Condoleeza Rice and Colin Powell were two of the most qualified black Republicans and they couldn’t move the needle for them.
While they remain overwhelmingly aligned with President Joe Biden, his level of support is lower than in 2020. And Donald Trump’s Black support is often clocking in at levels that would outpace all previous Republican nominees in the modern era.
These findings have produced understandable skepticism, fueled by red herring polls in past campaigns suggesting surprising levels of Black GOP support that failed to materialize on Election Day.

Ozma, you need a hobby. Biden is living rent free in your head.
Hamas says it has launched a rocket attack towards the Tel Aviv area in central Israel for the first time in nearly four months. At least eight rockets were launched from the Rafah area in southern Gaza and several were intercepted, the Israeli military says. No injuries have been reported.
You can’t just call everyone who disagrees with you a “Zionist”. We can read comments and your responses to them. That’s exactly what extremists, like Zionists, do.

This is excellent stress testing for NATO weapons. It sucks for the Ukrainians that they have to be the testing ground, but it’s better than wargames to iron out the kinks.
You sound like you don’t know about the history of politics in the US. Trump’s cover-up of the payoff was illegal because it’s happened before. That’s why there’s campaign finance laws. Elections were undoubtedly more corrupt in the past.

Have you never used any of these tools? They’re excellent at doing simple things very fast. But it’s like a word processor in the 90s. It’s just a tool, not the font of all knowledge.
I guess younger people won’t know this, but word processor programs were very impressive when they first came out. They replaced typewriters; a page printed from a printer looked much more professional than even the best typewriters. This lent an air of credibility to anything that was printed from a computer because it was new and expensive.
Think about that now. Do you automatically trust anything that’s just printed on a piece of paper? No, because that’s stupid. Anyone can just print whatever they want. LLMs are like that now. They can just say whatever they want. It’s up to you to make sure it’s true.
There’s not going to be a Civil War. Stop believing all the posturing that Texas is doing. They can’t even survive a bit of cold weather (or a bit of hot weather!).
