For those in the U.S., how do you feel about food stampes (SNAP?)

Any real TMNT fan knows Andrew was a teenager in 1997-99 because he was in the lettercol of almost every Volume 3 issue.

Good evening everyone, you're watching Technodrome First, my name is FuentesWolfLeonardo, we have a great show for you tonight, very excited to be with you here on Saturday. We have a lot to talk to about, lots to get into, BIG SHOW.

Our featured story tonight is how the Nick-Tucker interview led directly to the ongoing Andrew Sdp Feud and how Israel is most likely involved.

Hey we already have our fake Trump tweets. I guess the next step is entire podcasts recorded with AI voice filters.

Well then he was born before his mum got US citizenship then. So only his dad was a citizen at the time of birth.

Yeah, no sh**. But she was never not legal.

No it's not. She came on a fiancee visa. She got married on it. After 2 years of staying married on a fiancee visa you're a permanent resident. That'a the way this works. And I was born after like 5 years of them being married anyway. Then, around 1990 she got her citizenship not because she had to, but because she wanted to.

Coming here completely illegally or even overstaying a visa and having a kid here is a radically different thing. I understand now that seeing these kinds of distinctions is somehow beyond your ability, but there it is.

Yeah, you figure... the Vietnam war had ended in 1975, so 25 years later was, erm, 2000. So next Sept. we'll be that same distance of time from 9/11. Kinda wild.

The bigger issue is that those kinds of distinctions are beyond Trump's ability and the ICE agents just don't care to make it.

Tbh I wonder how many of those videos of ICE agents dragging people out on the streets and into paddy wagons are real, and how much is staged. While there's no doubt in my mind it IS happening, but I wonder how common it is. We're reading stories of ICE bursting into public schools and abducting children right out of their classes, even arresting teachers (!) because the kids are undocumented.

Then we see the videos online of ICE raiding houses and grabbing an entire family, while throwing tear gas and onlookers or protestors in the crowds. While I know this is very real, sometimes I wonder how much of it is.

I live in New York so obviously there are hispanics EVERYWHERE here, and I've never seen it in broad daylight.

Andrew isn’t an anchor baby because his dad was a citizen at the time of birth. He’s in exactly the same situation as Trump actually, his mother also wasn’t a US citizen when he was born.

Speaking of Trump… they are keeping it quiet obviously, but increasingly believing based on evidence that he’s getting monthly infusions to slow his Alzheimer’s (hence the periodic bruising on his right hand) which is what the second recent yearly medical may also have been for, to check how well the treatment was working. Aside from having a stroke, the adult diapers, the leg attached urinary bag, the now labelling parts of the White House so Trump knows where he is, the standing in silence when that staffer had a medical issue (and RFK jr ****ed off stage), falling asleep for long periods…

If Maga tore into the Dems for hiding Biden’s decline (with good reason), then Maga are hiding Trump’s decline and turning the dials up to 11 in the process… there’s a decent chance he will die in office.

I mean, you guys can always hope. And no doubt, he's OLD. Anything can happen anytime, you're not wrong on that front. He's an old guy probably dealing with old guy stuff that we'll never know about. But he gets in front of a camera and he's 600% more engaged than Biden. And he's talking to the press nonstop. Within that, there's many flubs and weirdness. But that's as opposed to Biden just hiding and only talking to the press in super prepared engagements once a week, vs. like 200 times a day, everywhere (with Trump).

Now, I've been clear on here. Trump was NOT my pick for president. I think we're getting way too old in these ways for picks. You can smack me over the head about it all you want, but I think DeSANTIMONIOUS would have been the guy.

He had a STUTTER you bastard!

Too short!

The problem is, becoming increasingly evident to me that GoP used Trump as a focal point to get back into power, but since he was sworn in, everyone else has been running the show (Miller etc) and Trump has been led to believe he’s doing “work” and “tweeting” what he’s told to said, without full understanding of what he’s actually doing. So Trump’s death would not actually change the direction the US is going, he was there to allow them to start enacting Project 2025. Vance takes over and nothing is different.

They know as soon as Trump snuffs it, that’s part of their voter base gone, and are working to now not give up power once that happens. Keeping him alive long enough to get past the midterms so Vance can try for ten years in power.

I was born in 1990 and will be turning 35 in 5 days, in fact. The Berlin Wall always felt like old history to me as did the Cold War. And both of those fell/ended only less than a year or so before I was born.

I still feel like a lot of Americans and even some Northern and Westerns Europeans still have this bleak image of European countries that lie to the east of Germany. But no, it's not 1989 anymore. Countries like Slovenia, Estonia and Czechia are highly developed nations nowadays and Poland has been one of the highest growing economies and one of the countries that has been improving it's standard of living the most in the world since 1989.

I visited both Poland and Czechia last year. They're very nice, clean and safe countries. Certainly cleaner and safer than some major British and French cities, nowadays, and France and the UK are two European countries with lots of "glamour" among non-Europeans.

That is true, you saw people say that when the Ukraine/Russia war first started back in 2022. People thought Ukraine was this uncivilized tiny country with no technology with people living as if it was still 1950 or something, and then they sat there wondering why Russia wasn't able to take it over easily and why it's still going 3 years straight.

There are people out there who still think China is like it was in the 1920's, even though it's now a metropolis empire!

Yeah New generations don't understand 9/11 or even the 2008 financial crisis, hell i was too young to understand either event fully until years later despite being alive in them. I always think people born after see it like I saw any event before the 90s, ancient history as old as the pyramids. Even stuff like 80s movies to me it felt like they were from ancient times. Kids today see stuff from the 90s like I saw stuff from the 70s, just another uncivilized world full of old people who thought they were young once but they were grandpas even then.

I personally get a long very well with Gen Z now that they're adults. Being tech savvy and on the internet since I was a little kid, we share many things in common. we talk through internet lingo, we have no attention spans, we don't care about hard work, we just tend to enjoy life and not worry. I always felt I needed to dumb down what I was talking about with millenials and even worse with older generations since they didn't understand how fast the world move thanks to the internet, and I dont need to do that anymore. It's refreshing.

I'm honestly suprrised when I see other techsavvy older millenials who complain about zoomers, I would think they'd be able to relate better like I can. but all they can do is talk about how it was better "in the old days" like all older boomer generations do.

Anyway, apparently Americans have been getting ICE ads on Twitch lately. I wonder what ICE ads are like. Do they not have enough people or something? What is their criteria, I wonder. Sounds funny.
