Japan or North Korea strict gun control maybe. Typical developed nation gun control no.

Visas are a privilege with many restrictions. These people have no right to be here and can enjoy celebrating the murder of Americans in their home country. We don't need them to do that here.
First link on Google:
“The Department may revoke a visa when it receives derogatory information directly from another US Government agency, including a member of the intelligence or law enforcement community,” the manual says.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio has terminated hundreds of visas under a rarely used provision that allows for revocation if a person’s presence in the US “would have potentially serious adverse foreign policy consequences for the United States.”

According to the posters on /r/somethingiswrong2024 it was the Heritage Foundation who murdered him. That would be a false flag attack.

They played a bunch of clips of him on the radio yesterday. Not his "gotcha" "dunking on libs" stuff but instead him compassionately talking to trans people and talking about the importance of faith. Stuff like that. There's so much content from him that it's easy to get a collection of kind and thoughtful sentiments.
I think the reason some media networks are not playing such clips is that for example he listened to a distressed young woman with gender confusion asking about how young of children should be given HRT and he advised her to seek counseling rather than take hormones. Thoughtfully and compassionately. That kind of talk ain't allowed on MSNBC.

Qatar has Patriot and NASAMS missile systems. Perhaps they let this happen and now are pretending to be outraged.
The kidnapping plot against Whitmer.
Modern day COINTELPRO. An FBI scheme.
That cop who died during Jan 6th.
Come on now. That's not what happened. Poor guy had a blood clot in his brain. He was fine. Feeling good, other than irritation from residual pepper spray and a headache that was getting worse. As confirmed by his text messages to his family. Then dead. Deadly blood clots are not caused by J6.
He died a bit afterwards from an unrelated health issue.

And the reality is black people rode public transportation during segregation and that wouldn't have prevented this murder. That'll indeed remain true regardless of your opinions.

Even under segregation black people rode the bus. A black schizophrenic standing up and knifing a white woman in front of him would be equally viable under racial segregation. I don't accept the general premise and particularly don't accept it for this example.
There's literally billions of them. 85k get H1B visas per year. With a barely working filter we should be able to skim the cream. And yes, complaints abound about how we don't always get obviously exceptional people. They somehow found a way to screw up this much selectivity.
Working now at a major tech company, the foreign born engineers are pretty capable. They did something right.

Agreed. From an engineer's perspective: it's clearly a wage suppression scheme. This is a trick to push down the middle class.

What a coincidence. Detergent is locked up where I live also.
I went to Home Depot recently. I hadn't been in a while. Shocking how much was locked up. The installed metal gates across many shelves. For the most part not even that expensive of stuff. But I know that the organized shoplifting gangs target them in particular, do they're presumably responding sensibly.
OliveTapenade is correct to question the validity of "demographic replacement" of white Americans by Koreans. I mean: trying to catastrophize Costco selling kimchi or a few Korean restraunts opening.
I'm sure the Hyundai plant has Koreans in it. Those (hundreds?) of immigrants aren't "replacing" us.

Never heard of Dread Jim. Based on your summary of his views I recommend he move to the country that has at least partially embraced his ideals. I'm talking of course about Iran.
Googling their TFR shows they have fewer children per woman than the US. I guess executing gay guys didn't help.
Operation Choke Point. Also the Biden administration leaning on social media to censor inconvenient truths. There's more than a little government coercion hiding behind the mask of private companies making internal decisions.
Operation Choke Point was an actual conspiracy to unbank people in just that manner. They made sure to coordinate it using in-person meetings and to not document anything in order to frustrate possible investigations into their actions. Like a band of criminals. It is insidious.

I don't remember the "reintroduce slavery" argument.
It is a quote from Biden talking to a crowd of black people saying Romney wants to put them back in chains.

There was a major discussion about this on askreddit within the past few days. They're still on it with the same rhetoric and claims.

these social pressures were justified and would naturally self-correct if they went too far
I would say the opposite. An escalating purity spiral could result in which people keep one upping each other in how extreme they are and punishing those who don't keep up. Like the worst parts of the Cultural Revolution.

"No enemies to the left" typical American liberals and progressives passively keep quiet while extremists and the woke wage culture war. Then fight like cornered animals when conservatives push back. Wokeness is indeed illiberal and modern self described "liberals" are its chief enablers.
Not of course principled classical liberals. But they are an endangered species with little in common with modern common "liberals".

For what it's worth: a trans person on reddit told me that Donald Trump winning the last election means they will be murdered by the military within a few months. That was around election time a few months ago. That's one example of the sort of hysterical rhetoric common among some online transpeople. I don't even go to trans subreddits, this is only me observing generic political subreddits.
Hard to exaggerate how much overly online transpeople are whipping themselves into a frenzy. Certainly not improving their mental health.

I honesty thought this was some VR porn or masterbation reference. Scrolling down I gather it is some innocuous VR device or game. They wasted a great VR porn name.

I saw a video in which a couple guys joined a Mexican cartel and then stole from it. The video starts with one stating his crimes against the cartel. Then he is cut apart with a chainsaw.
So yeah, if you or I tried this the mules would rip us off. What are you going to do, sue them?
When actual criminal organizations do this mules are held accountable for the valuables they are entrusted with. The knives and chainsaws come out when something goes "missing".
After the tidal wave of gasoline that was Oct 7th, I'm not ready to point fingers at Israel for not deescalating.
