See, he ASSUMES there’s “no way to win” and that this judge will always, regardless of anything else, strike down things because they’re “against republicans/trump/whoever”

Why?

Because that’s exactly what they would do, are doing, plan to do in the future, and can’t imagine a world where someone else isn’t just as shitty as they are.

Projection. Insecurity.

I mean, there’s no way to win, but that’s because this is one of those things that can’t be ignored and absolutely should result in consequences. I’m not hopeful that real consequences will be had though.

I’d say 50/50 because she’s a woman and a Democrat.

Good thing she never wore a tan suit or used the wrong mustard, then Republicans would have done something drastic like storm the Capitol building!

Anything else would simply be improper!

God damn almighty these people are fucking stupid.

You know, I was about to go on about how they aren’t stupid, they’re cowards, because they fully know what you say is true, but they are too scared to say things out loud because then they’d be a target, OR because they believe in “the moral high road” and “believe the best in people” to a fault and “it wouldn’t be proper!” to call a nazi… You know… a nazi.

But then I realized all of that, while possible, is still insanely fucking stupid

So I guess my point is “yeah, and giant fucking cowards to boot”

It’s great that a convicted felon who absolutely committed treason by sharing classified documents with foreign nationals is allowed to decide OTHER people can’t be trusted with information.

These guys need to decorate their walls with a small caliber paintbrush

“my centrism isn’t a problem, it’s DEMOCRATS for not being left enough, because then my centrism would really be centered”

Sure bud, whatever helps you sleep at night I guess.

You aren’t wrong about democrats being spineless, but Personally I could never try and compromise with someone who thinks my very existence and the existence of minorities gives them a reason to hate and persecute up to literal lynching and murder but that’s just me.

Well, he’s not in prison for treason or anything related to classified documents being mishandled, soooooooo…

Rule of law means nothing in the US anymore unless you’re poor. If it mattered, we would have had different presidential candidates from the start.

If anyone still cares in the government, none of them care enough to actually do anything but stand by and watch. Maybe give a half-hearted “yeah way to take a stand” after the fact when someone gets dragged out of the room by the fascists.

Excellent domain name for your instance, by the way. Absolutely horrifying in just the right way.

almost complete immunity to any consequences for their actions.

legal immunity.

Fingers crossed more people wake the fuck up that nobody is coming to step in and save us, we have to do it ourselves.

We used to know how to fight dictators and fascism, but apparently all we can do now is protest, quietly, in our government mandated protest spot, miles away from anyone who can hear or see us. Anything else just wouldn’t be proper.

Can’t wait until they get declared domestic terrorists and alphabet squadded.

Just ask Reagan how Republicans feel about armed minorities.

Armed minorities are harder to oppress.

Why do we need to wait to know that violence against fascists is the appropriate response?

This sort of thinking makes me “sound like a teenager” because I’m “trying to be Edgy”

Lol no, anyone who genuinely thinks violence will not be needed because we will simply vote soon and it’ll all be over is either sticking their head in the sand, naive as fuck, or their lifestyle depends on things continuing as they are and stand to benefit from it.

Like holy shit go to the 1800s and tell all the slaves if they want real change they need to keep their heads down and quietly protest in the back where nobody can see them. Similar vibes.

But that wouldn’t be proper!

clutches pearls

And if anyone shows up to take her back, lock them up too.

If you need help defending against any terrorist activities by an opposing nation, let me know, I will happily defend the free world from fascism.

It literally has nothing to do with us.

I don’t think there’s a single person here who would disagree with you.

I hope that the riots in the streets start up sooner rather than later.

Same. But uncoordinated opposition just leaves a lot of dead “lone wolf crazy gunmen”

Good reminder to keep organizing.

You sure you’re not confusing China with the United States?

Boom, there it is!

I Guess we’re just ignoring all the shit they’re pulling by dumping sand and dirt into the ocean and calling it a Chinese island, and all the shit they’re doing near Taiwan.

Can’t wait for someone to pull out a 400 year old map to justify modern day imperialism again!

Her logic IS undeniable.

Find Quinn. He has the timer.

Every single part of this comment just screams “It just wouldn’t be proper!”

And I’m sorry, but I can’t seem to care about what’s “proper” when half my friends now have reasonable fear for their lives, not just “comfort of living” just because they are lgbtq+ living in deep red country.

The only celebrating I do is eating slightly more unhealthy, take the day off work unless it’s going to be a short day, and maybe look to see if any games in my “maybe if it’s on steep sale” list are on sale.

That’s it.

I don’t remind people, I dont expect anyone to remember, but it’s nice when they do.

My excuse for missing people’s birthdays is I DO know the date… I just don’t know what the date today is. Sure I know my sister was born on the 12th, but that doesn’t matter if I think today is the 10th and it’s actually the 15th…

So if I have that much problem, it wouldn’t be very chill to be upset with others for missing mine.

I didn’t know shit could clump that high without supports…

Always assume that at least 10% of polls are bullshit, from people not understanding the question, the poll, the answers, or people just screwing around, or intentionally choosing funny/ridiculous answers.

Poll question: do you believe in a deity

Poll answers: 1 yes there is a god 2 there are many gods 3 I believe in zorg the destroyer who will bring about universal chaos 4 no

Some people who would answer literally anything else are going to choose 3 simply for the lulz.
