21:22 IsambardPrince; Brush your teeth three times a day.
21:22 IsambardPrince; Eat at least two good meals.
21:22 IsambardPrince; Take a good shit.
21:23 IsambardPrince; Try not to commit a felony that draws a government investigation into your 50 year long unbroken stretch of presumption of US citizenship under the Trump administration.
21:23 IsambardPrince; MinceR, ^
21:24 IsambardPrince; Hint, he ended up trying to save himself by taking this to the Supreme Court and while it did succeed in changing a law in such a way that might benefit other people....Mr. Morales-Santana found himself on a trip to Mexico anyway.
21:25 MinceR; lucky bastard
21:25 IsambardPrince; The court took the standard for transmission of US Citizenship from unmarried people to their children and changed it.
21:25 IsambardPrince; MinceR, He was trying to stay in the US, and his parents were unmarried.
21:26 IsambardPrince; Which made him a "bastard" in the literal sense of the word. And since he failed and ended up in Mexico, he was "unlucky".
21:26 IsambardPrince; So he was an unlucky bastard.
21:26 MinceR; but hey, at least mexico has a wall to help stem the tide of refugees from trumpistan
21:26 MinceR; and trumpistan paid for it!
21:26 IsambardPrince; MinceR, It costs very little to enforce an order of removal to Mexico.
21:27 IsambardPrince; It doesn't involve an airplane. They literally put you on a bus with about 50 other people and drive you a few miles across the border.
21:27 IsambardPrince; :)
21:27 MinceR; yeah, that might change this year
21:27 IsambardPrince; The US basically strongarmed Mexico so that they even take vaguely brown Spanish speakers that are not Mexicans.
21:27 IsambardPrince; What a bargain.
21:27 IsambardPrince; :D

21:30 IsambardPrince; If they do this, the United States will sanction them.

22:12 IsambardPrince; If it's going to take a bigger moving truck that costs $100 more to fit that mattress, you're better off just throwing out the mattress and getting a new one later.

23:09 MinceR; not a happy new year for most, though many are deluded about this for now
23:09 IsambardPrince; Another radical Islamic terrorist, that the US ignored for years, who had a background in the US military, killed many people in Louisiana this morning.
23:09 IsambardPrince; In a suicide attack.
23:10 IsambardPrince; We should be deporting all Muslims.
23:10 MinceR; all abrahamics
23:10 IsambardPrince; Deporting them where? I don't care as long as they don't come back.
23:10 MinceR; shoot them into siberia with a trebuchet
23:10 IsambardPrince; Muslims are basically good at producing kiddie fuckers and terrorists.
23:10 IsambardPrince; Not much else.
23:11 IsambardPrince; At least the Christians and Jews aren't that bad.
23:11 MinceR; yes they are
23:11 MinceR; there's hardly any difference
23:14 IsambardPrince; The Muslims produce little else.
23:14 IsambardPrince; It's why more than 50% of Palestinians are children.
23:14 IsambardPrince; Old men impregnate 12 year olds in Islam.
23:14 IsambardPrince; Because that's when you take them as "your wife".
23:14 IsambardPrince; The Muslim animals marry off 12 year old little girls to 70 year old men.
23:15 IsambardPrince; Then it's all "You can't say that in Canada! That's mah religion!"
23:15 MinceR; all humans are animals
23:15 IsambardPrince; "herr derrr!!!!"
23:15 MinceR; and most christian fundamentalists are pedophiles, too
23:15 IsambardPrince; "The unarmed police will talk to you sternly!"
23:15 IsambardPrince; :D
23:16 IsambardPrince; Canada is probably the only country that's gotten so bad that if they have a Muslim terror attack, everyone will be too afraid to talk about it because of boards of inquest drummed up by Trudeau and the other fucking idiots.
23:16 IsambardPrince; Maybe New Zealand.
23:17 IsambardPrince; Also pretty British, honestly.
23:17 MinceR; big words from a non-christian living in a soon-to-be christian taliban state
23:17 IsambardPrince; They're so butthurt about the Christchurch Massacre that they threaten Americans who have never even been to New Zealand with arrest warrants for talking about it.
23:18 IsambardPrince; And they can go fuck themselves, honestly.
23:18 IsambardPrince; Most countries with British-style laws and government are shitholes.
23:18 MinceR; unnecessarily specific
23:18 MinceR; most countries are shitholes
23:19 MinceR; most likely all countries are shitholes
23:19 IsambardPrince; The British are oppressive in a different sense than the Chinese.
23:19 IsambardPrince; They're more subtle about it, but they still arrest people over Facebook posts and stuff.
23:19 MinceR; even the ones that look like they aren't certain to be shitholes are ruled by fascists about 50% of the time (holding about 50% popular support)
23:19 IsambardPrince; The only real improvement is that the British are essentially irrelevant in world affairs these days.
23:19 IsambardPrince; Unlike China.
23:19 MinceR; orban also has people arrested for faecesbook posts
23:20 MinceR; and orbanistan is not like the UK
23:20 MinceR; it's like what the USA is about to become
23:20 MinceR; so yeah, cherish your remaining freedoms while you still have them
23:20 IsambardPrince; They have a fairly microscopic country left, on an island, and they still manage to carve out pieces of it and give them away in Starmer's apology tour.
23:20 IsambardPrince; But that's what you get when you take some Irish piece of shit and make him the Crime Minister.
23:21 MinceR; oh yeah, they did so well under the tories
23:21 IsambardPrince; Everyone said you couldn't do worse.
23:21 IsambardPrince; Then Starmer said "Hold my beer!"
23:21 IsambardPrince; Literally.
23:21 IsambardPrince; Irish....you know.
23:21 IsambardPrince; :D
23:22 IsambardPrince; If they're conscious it's only because they're hungover and working toward passing out again.
23:22 IsambardPrince; So naturally you'd want one for your leader.
23:23 IsambardPrince; Starmer probably didn't even know he was giving away part of the country. He was probably signing it while mixing V8 juice, a raw egg, and Tabasco sauce with the other hand.
23:24 MinceR; i'd take an irish person who's passed out from being drunk all the time over orban and his partners in crime any day
23:24 MinceR; the less they can do, the better
