A story about a pathetic man's downfall [34 Felony Convictions]
Nothing. I'm getting really tired of the leopards asking, even when they aren't members of the Leopard Eating Faces Party asking of everyone who's not a leopard "Why aren't the people whose faces my friends want to eat not understanding of my friends?" LO fucking L, at the guy who kidnapped migrants as being the palatable version of the GOP.

A story about a pathetic man's downfall [34 Felony Convictions]
The "Nazi monsters," except for maybe a few people at the top, didn't start out as "Nazi monsters." If you had told them or their neighbors, in say 1932, they would contribute to the genocide of millions, they would have called you a liar and been horrified. They were probably for the most part good neighbors who loved their families.. But they were also Nazi monsters and that's rightfully what they're remembered for today, after their deaths--the atrocities they participated in. Just as a thought experiment, what if you told them 10 years ago that the Republican loser of the last election called for the Constitution to be suspended and that he be installed in to office, and no Republicans spoke out against it. Would your friends have believed that to have really happened? Would they have believed that they would have supported a candidate who called for the Constitution to be suspended? Would they have been okay with religious bans? Separating babies from their mothers? Letting people die after a hurricane because they were from a territory? Spreading anti-vax nonsense during a global pandemic? The president saying there were "good Nazis"?

Defund the IRS
Yeah, so does my 5 year old Honda. And, yeah, instead of envying people who can afford Aston Martins, and sure, I'd rather have a sexier car than a Honda, I can appreciate that I'm fortunate enough to own a reliable car, and be able to afford maintenance so it stays reliable, and repairs if something goes wrong. If it is in the shop, I can get a loaner or an uber, and it's not a huge chunk of my paycheck. Hell, I live in a part of the country with access to public transportation options. If I get a parking ticket I can afford to pay the $40, instead of getting late fees tacked on to it. All things most of the poor in this country do without. And I also recognize I'm a medical emergency, where I can't work and deplete my savings, away from having any of this. I'm not sure what interplay of sociopathy or Fox News bubble Flatty lives in. But, fuck, I hope he's not really a UT alum.

Defund the IRS
Oh, he's obvious. But no one believes they're the bad guy. They craft their stories to justify their evil. Including dehumanizing others. It doesn't matter if poor people's children starve or if a McDonald's worker can't afford cancer treatment. Because they're lazy, undeserving, and less than human. He's justifying being a horrible person by feigning outrage over those lazy, stupid, greedy poors.

It's how flatty rationalizes taking a giant dump on others so that he can get his boat.

The Twitter Debate
- Defund the IRS
Which makes no sense since he apparently also believes that if the federal government taxes that same, chintzy tip, it's theft.- Defund the IRS
Fair enough. Although, in this case, the pig ignorant shittrolls started the thread, and the entire thread was a shittroll thread, as opposed to what they usually do with derailing threads with their shittrolling.- The Twitter Debate

Interesting that you think the people who sell you groceries, wipe your ass when you're in the hospital, or teach your children are "can't dos." Actually, it's not interesting. It's disgusting. I can't believe I'm quoting Christian scripture, but I guess "blessed are the poor" has gone by the wayside.- Defund the IRS
Preferential treatment? I mean, I guess if you only use tunnel vision and look at federal income tax, rather than marginal rate on all taxes paid, including Social Security and sales tax, which gives the poor a higher marginal rate than the wealthy. Also, if you simply ignore that all the crap you consume, including the groceries you buy, the electronics driven across the country, your haircuts, the ChickFilA, the hospital cleaning crew, whatever, is subsidized by the non-living wages the people who help you live a comfortable life take home.- A story about a pathetic man's downfall [34 Felony Convictions]
It doesn't even matter. We've seen him act treasonously many times. There's enough smoking guns to supply an entire army. And the cult keeps on culting while everyone else is horrified. Those tax returns could be released and show him on Putin and Al Qaeda's payrolls and it still wouldn't matter.- The Supremes
Also, and I said this on the abortion thread, and after the past 6 years we've all gotten used to destruction of rule of law, but the NY Times story really buries the lede. Alito was wined an dined by wealthy evangelical antiabortion activists, and then authored a radical decision tossing 50 years of stare decisis, doing exactly what those activists who paid him (in food, vacations, and donations to historical societies) wanted. This should result in the end of Alito's career, and should be an impeachable offense. But we'll all forget about it when the next scandal comes along in five minutes. Hell, it wasn't even the lede in the NYT story.- Official Thread for Abortion Demagoguery
Well, yeah. But that fucking NY Times story frames the issue as though the big problem is Alito leaking things. Not that Alito was wined and dined by wealthy anti abortion activists.- Official Thread for Abortion Demagoguery
Also why the fuck are big money political donors meeting with Supreme Court justices?- LBGTQ
They're just jealous. It's obvious who's having the better time.- Nancy Pelosi is a badass MF and I want her to be Speaker
Yup. But more than a little disturbing that her retirement is happening in the setting of her husband being almost killed in a politically motivated attack.- A story about a pathetic man's downfall [34 Felony Convictions]
This. They're treating this like a white collar criminal case where the perp is stealing money, rather than the violent crime it is. Prosecutors don't let serial killers roam free until they perfect their case. They arrest the killer before he murders more people. Meanwhile, they're letting trump destroy the country. And, I'm not even sure we have 20 months. The GQP will defund DOJ before they let trump be prosecuted.- A story about a pathetic man's downfall [34 Felony Convictions]
L O fucking L at the idea that the political party, and I use that term loosely, whose entire platform in 2020 was quite literally just "trump" and who has spent the past two years spreading lies about elections, holding an actual, real primary, with debates and actual votes. Trump will be the nominee, and there won't be a real primary process.- A story about a pathetic man's downfall [34 Felony Convictions]
Trump isn't "running" for anything in the traditional sense. This is not a political campaign. This is just a continuation of the crime of overthrowing the government. The only open question is who will abet him.- Air Show Plane Crash in Dallas
This is long, but seems like a really good explanation of what happened.- 2022 Election Day Thread - Midterm Rumble
This. Although the only reason any of those election days for house, senate, or the presidency have even been close since maybe 2004 is because of gerrymandering and the outsize role of small states. Nationally, dem candidates have crushed the GQP in votes. So 2024 will be a bonanza of voter suppression.- [OFFICIAL DOOM THREAD]Today Democracy Dies
You are the perfect encapsulation of the American snowflake right. Someone hurt my fee fees by disagreeing with my bullshit, so let’s engage in ad hominem personal attacks- [OFFICIAL DOOM THREAD]Today Democracy Dies
