What site was attacked? I don’t think the article mentions it.

Thank you for saving me a click

Good point. At the risk of making it sound cool, I’ll say that confederate flags are the OG MAGA gear.

I’m amazed nobody has mentioned a confederate flag (or confederate anything) yet. My first assumption would be that they’re racist and proud of it.

One of those giant stickers meant to make it look like there’s a tied up woman in the back of their pickup.

At best, it’s advertising that they think abusing women is funny.

So far, I’ve only seen one of those. They’re so stupid looking that if it had been by itself, I wouldn’t have been able to tell if it was meant as a joke. They also had one of those “thin blue line” American flag stickers, though, so that cleared it right up.

Driving is complex. Knowing what to pay attention to when takes time to learn.

I recommend not trying to drive a manual until you’ve already learned the basics in an automatic. In my opinion, learning to drive AND learning how to handle a manual transmission is too much at once.

If it was a quote, I would have used the quote feature, like this:

People began shouting for the agents to leave him alone and told the man not to sign anything.

Sorry for the confusion.

“Let HIM go, and we’ll let YOU go.” Seems fair.

That was fast.

Anyone who puts down a “deposit” on this should be declared mentally incompetent.

I’m in favor of anything that makes these dipshits more conspicuous. Trump bumper sticker? There’s no way I’m pulling over to help you if you’re stuck on the side of the road. MAGA hat? Then I don’t have a problem saying no to their perfectly reasonable request.

These people are helping destroy my country, and the Constitution. By continuing to display this propaganda, they’re telling everyone that they’re proud of it. I’ll let them pull themselves up by their bootstraps.

Daughter: Daddy, why do you work for the people who kidnapped Mommy? Correa: I don’t, sweetheart. I’m in the Army. The Army doesn’t deport people. ICE does. Daughter: They both take orders from the president, though, right? Correa: well, yeah. Daughter: So, why do you work for the man who ordered ICE to kidnap Mommy? Correa: …

Can I put them on range and like shake it or something?

Only if you promise to post the video.

Trump loves the uneducated, right?

Well, no shit. If bigots got their wish, and could wave a magic wand to deport all “undocumented immigrants” instantly (or immigrants with documents Trump doesn’t approve of), large swaths of the economy would collapse overnight. Employers who had gotten rich exploiting the vulnerable would suddenly be forced to pay competitive wages. America as we know it would abruptly become very different.

The fact that you’re even asking suggests that you genuinely give a damn and have the right mindset. Feeling anxious in a situation like this is perfectly natural. You seem like a good brother.

Don’t bombard him with questions about what prison life is like. He’s going to have enough to deal with; don’t make him recount tales of a terrible period of his life. On the other hand, let him talk if he wants to. Listen and be supportive.

Don’t sneak up on him. For example, if he’s watching TV in the living room and didn’t notice you walk in, clear your throat or something.

I imagine that privacy is a thing he will value highly. NEVER walk into his room without knocking and waiting for him to respond. None of that “knock while opening the door” bullshit.

Be patient, sensitive, and give him time to adjust. This will be a HUGE change for him - almost as big as adjusting to prison life. You’re going to have to do a difficult balancing act between helping him and not treating him like a baby. Nobody would get that right 100% of the time. Don’t judge yourself too harshly when the inevitable mistakes happen.

Consider showing him this thread.

That’s the “some” I had in mind, and you’re right.

Some atheists treat atheism itself as a cult. I’d go one step further. My choice is Agnosticism.

I’m happy to say I don’t know. Maybe we are all on the back of a giant turtle. If the turtle was big enough, we wouldn’t be able to tell. It’s all good.

…and the other half insists on learning the hard way.

Anyone who demands “proof” doesn’t deserve it.
