Without due process, none of them are criminals or illegals. You need due process to determine that. You couldn't be more precise saying they are our neighbors and families and co-workers. That's what innocent until proven guilty is all about. ICE is violating our most fundamental civil rights.

An then the obsession with Commander in Chief. The office is not meant to be a warlord. The American obsession to call initiatives a 'War on X' is not indicative of a healthy national self-image. Might go a long way to explain the deranged gun culture, though.

The writers of the constitution never intended to free the slaves. Or let the native inhabitants keep their land. Their wisdom and intentions were always questionable at best.

That's what DHS and ICE were created to do. Keep an eye on the dangerous brown people in the country and get rid of them if they got uppity. What else did you think the Patriot Act was for?

Chuck 'fold like a cheap suit' Schumer standing on principle? Did someone shove a large stick up his ass or did he need a real threat to his life in order to find a spine?

Not in the west, not in the white world. The context argument is the bullshit of white supremacists trying to muddy the waters. It's a hate symbol in the west, nothing else.

of the three main Dynamite ladies of the time, Sonja, Vampirella, and Dejah Thoris. Too many changes for old school fans, no Simone writing for the newer fans, the three books got cancelled almost as soon as the first issues hit the stands.

The following writer, Marguerite Bennett had a much better short run The Falcon Throne. Only six issues but I thought she had a much better handle on Sonja than Simone. The story strives to be an epic like Russell's run but it faced a lot of fallout in the way Gail and Dynamite handled the relaunch

A lot of folks like it but I never felt it was anything more than her name doing the heavy lifting as if that run had Gil Simonson, straight white guy as named writer, there wouldn't have been nearly as much praise for it.

For me, her Sonja run went too far off the beam on the character. Brian Reed in volume one got rid of the rape and vow without turning Sonja into a distaff Conan. Too many barbarian cliches of horny, drunk, surly to Simone's run for me to find it good. The stories were paint by number D&D runs.

She's a solid writer, but I don't like her humor, often plot driven narrative, and tendency to add spurious details that add nothing to a story. Sonjita instead of Sonja, making Sonja dyslexic, and more. Additions doing nothing in the story just an illusion of depth and never get used again.

A lot of folks liked it but it wasn't my cup of tea. I've never been a fan of her writing on anything, really. Russell's run was a rare true epic beyond the usual Sonja vs wizard/warrior stories. I liked Erik Trautmann's work and Amy Chu's run was pretty fun.

The movie follows the beats of Arnie's Conan the Barbarian and gives Sonja Arnie's movie Conan origin which is what Simone's run on the comic did. The opening is almost lifted from LotR with Hyrkania more like peace loving Hobbits in the Shire than Howard's warlike Asian steppe nomads.

Like the '85 Red Sonja, it's dull. A lot of the complaints online are just grifting hate reviews. The film's script is rather poor and the ending is anticlimactic but other than having a bloated run time & indifferent acting its tolerable, not good but like '85's Sonja unsatisfying.

Nope, no hiding from this shit. It doesn't change until we admit these goobers are who we are. They are embarrassing fucknuckles to be sure but they are out loud and proud because we do this shit ever couple of decades. It won't end until we admit that ugly fact is admitted and expunged.
