They were always right about the date. They just were wrong about what Jesus is looking for.

I’m pretty sure my plans are fine. Jesus is going to take one look at us and turn around.

People are coming at you because it sounded like you were saying the poor were poor because of bad financial skills.

It’s a nicer way of saying they’re here illegally. Despite all evidence that immigrants are hard working people with lower than average crime and social problems; we insist on criminalizing them because they didn’t ask permission to cross the border.

I was going to expand on this but that’s pretty much it.

Income taxes are withheld from the paycheck. The filing is largely unnecessary in the modern day and most people are getting refunds. The IRS offers tax ID numbers to people who don’t have social security numbers and they generally don’t care if you’re a citizen unless you try to claim something like the earned income tax credit. They literally just want to get paid.

Those are thousands. Other countries use periods like we use commas. The tell is 3 zeros instead of two.

Hmmm yes, they can go for a walk in a park. But they can’t use TANF, Medicaid, SSI/SSDI, SNAP, or anything else that requires means testing. While they do get taxes withheld from their paycheck. So they are actually paying for that park.

Yes some are on a cash only, under the table arrangement. But 100 billion dollars worth of them are not. Banks don’t require proof of citizenship, and states that aren’t busy trying to shoot themselves in the foot aren’t checking citizenship for work. So they get taxes, the immigrants get worker protections, and life goes on as normal.

Zionism is literally the name of the ideology. That’s as much of a slur as calling an American a Capitalist.

And no. This isn’t just a war. This isn’t simply a reaction. Nothing justifies what they’re doing. The common person in Palestine didn’t ask for anything except for Israel to take its boot off their neck.
