  1. ya know, you could just pull the mask off like your peer Chrispy did - it's really a beating to have a founding member of the Rittenhouse fan club constantly lie and derail the topic of ICE going gestapo on people. let's try and dumb it down for you: Yes or no: do you think ICE is going overboard?
  2. Except... That didn't fucking happen. The only people claiming it happened is ICE and their bootlickers. There's no evidence of it happening, and what we can see and find is ICE officers ramming people for the crime of being nonwhite.
  3. No you didn't, you called me a clown and implied that I'm overreacting to something that isn't happening. You're picking nits to attack me personally instead of engaging with the reality of the slow motion Kristallnacht that you voted for. And the fact that there's multiple incidents of ICE ramming people for the crime of being brown should in and of itself be a fucking concern
  4. It's unfortunate that SJL decided to run because she was able to muscle everyone else out but had a TON of baggage and then literally died a few month into what would have been her mayoral term. It's a microcosm of a much bigger issue
  5. Shocking how little reporting and discussion there's been about this issue, especially considering the recent concern over political violence. Time: House of South Carolina Judge Criticized by Trump Administration Burns Down Police are investigating the cause of a fire that burned down the home of South Carolina Circuit Court judge Diane Goodstein, who had reportedly received death threats for weeks related to her work. State law enforcement is investigating the house fire on Edisto Beach, which began at around 11:30 a.m. E.T. on Saturday, sources told local news outlet FITSNews. Goodstein was reportedly not at home at the time of the fire, but at least three members of her family, including her husband, former Democratic state senator Arnold Goodstein, and their son, have been hospitalized with serious injuries. According to the St. Paul’s Fire District, which responded to the scene, the occupants had to be rescued via kayak. Law enforcement has not disclosed whether the fire is being investigated as an arson attack. “At this time, we do not know whether the fire was accidental or arson. Until that determination is made, [State Law Enforcement Division Chief Mark Keel] has alerted local law enforcement to provide extra patrols and security,” South Caroline Chief Justice John Kittredge told FITSNews, adding that the fire appeared to have been caused by an “explosion.” The 69-year-old judge had received death threats in the weeks leading up to the fire, multiple sources told FITSNews. Last month, Goodstein had temporarily blocked the state’s election commission from releasing its voter files to the Department of Justice, a decision that was openly criticized by Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon and later reversed by the state Supreme Court. The DOJ had sought the information, including names, addresses, driver’s license numbers, and social security numbers, of over three million registered voters as part of President Donald Trump’s March executive order restricting non-citizens from registering to vote. (Non-citizens are already not allowed to vote in federal and state elections.) ... Hours before the fire at Goodstein’s house, Trump’s deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller accused U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut of “legal insurrection” for granting a restraining order that blocks Trump’s deployment of the Oregon National Guard in Portland. California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, said in a post from his office that Miller’s accusation “for ruling on a case isn’t just reckless. It’s authoritarian propaganda, plain and simple.” (Miller has previously accused Democrats of using incendiary language to “mark people” for political violence.) Trump has called specific judges who have pushed back on his executive orders “radical left lunatic” and “troublemaker and agitator.” In May, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt called the panel of judges that ruled against Trump’s sweeping tariffs “activist judges.” In a post that month, Miller said, “We are living under a judicial tyranny.”
  6. I'm glad you're honest about voting to brutalize and terrorize brown people and citizens. It's a big step forward for you, you goddamn fucking fascist. https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.cacd.989081/gov.uscourts.cacd.989081.9.0.pdf People are being DISAPPEARED for more than a month and held under guard for no fucking reason besides the color of their skin. It's completely fucked and anyone cheering for this sort of treatment is a goddamn fascist goon
  7. Inb4 imperfect vessel equivocations
  8. IMO you'd be better off letting the air out of their tires - no property damage that way and just being a nuisance but still slowing them down
  9. Just fucking insane that any white supremacist could put on a facemask and a fake badge and go round up some messicans with their goddamn UNLABELED NISSAN. Those "officers" are gonna start catching literal return fire with how badly they're terrorizing and fucking up
  10. I used to live in Midtown 6 or 7 years ago and it was nice for going downtown to hit bars with friends, or riding out to NRG or UH or the Museum District. It's really a shame that Shitmire has been fucking all our public transit up so badly.
  11. Have you not seen the video (not my recording, from the interwebs)? ICE is lying. A person live streamed the whole fucking incident. They attacked her, not sure how you can spin it any other way cyf5tsir97tf1DASH_480.mp4
  12. Imo, the failure of the Democrats to hold banks and financers accountable for the 2008 financial crisis is the original sin. They broke the social contract with their voters in favor of sucking their donors dicks. The Dems sowed the seeds of discontent and trumpism by truly giving them a REAL "both sides" argument
  13. This is all tracking pretty closely to the timeline Germany followed when they failed to punish and hold accountable their fascist populist. It isn't going to a fun or happy place.
  14. Ya know, maybe he should get a goddamn OC
  15. it remains to be seen, but 2010 was pretty fucking bad
  16. https://www.house.gov/the-house-explained/the-legislative-process "All Legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives." (Article I, Section 1, of the United States Constitution) How Are Laws Made? Laws begin as ideas. First, a representative sponsors a bill. The bill is then assigned to a committee for study. If released by the committee, the bill is put on a calendar to be voted on, debated or amended. If the bill passes by simple majority (218 of 435), the bill moves to the Senate. In the Senate, the bill is assigned to another committee and, if released, debated and voted on. Again, a simple majority (51 of 100) passes the bill. Finally, a conference committee made of House and Senate members works out any differences between the House and Senate versions of the bill. The resulting bill returns to the House and Senate for final approval. The Government Publishing Office prints the revised bill in a process called enrolling. The President has 10 days to sign or veto the enrolled bill.
  17. Just circling back on this - I am not enjoying the historic levels of hype
  18. Guys, cut incredulity some slack. He still is trying to work out if unlegislated taxes (tariffs) are happening or not, and if they have an impact on inflation. He can't be bothered to understand that you need a simple majority to pass something in the Senate, and that the VP is the tiebreaker
  19. Wrong thread
  20. No, but it's an extremely effective way to shut down discussion by claiming anyone who advocates for some market regulations is really a SOCIALIST(!!!!!)
  21. Arch seems like he sucks, and we'll be lucky to go 8-4. Between OU, Vandy, UGA, and Aggy I have a hard time seeing us any of those as a win with our current level of play. Not to mention any of the other crappy SEC teams eager to notch a win against Texas
  22. > Posts AI slop as a source for his position > Claims to not be dumb as shit
  23. There was an old Thujone comic of an o-line man in bed with a lady that kept coming prematurely - I wish I could find that evergreen frame
