Oh I am fully aware, but I find it important to point out the underlying thing they’re exploiting when you see statements like this. Just like passing ID laws and bans on porn are a subtext to censor LGBTQ people

Just a reminder that America does not have a national ID and that while most people think a driver’s license is our ID only 71% of Americans have one. Children, the elderly, people who are too poor to have a car, or people who live in cities that don’t need cars (which is like, 5 cities but is still a notable percent of the population) are all people who may not have an ID and all of them have been rounded up by ICE. This is a further attack on the poor specifically but on the vulnerable in general

Man if there’s a city that might hate Trump more than DC does it might be New York. New York city residents fucking hate that man, he’s been a stain on the city since the 80s

So… there’s never going to be another Xbox?

Unironic question: is it possible to boycott goods from a country apolitically?

If there’s anything at all Democrats have to learn in order to win ever again it’s that “when they go low we go high” and having a moral backbone is a losing strategy. Cheating and breaking rules keeps letting the other side win and they keep making it easier for themselves, if Democrats refuse to start slinging mud then they’re just going to keep losing

spend 4 years in college, get certified, start teaching children, get yelled at by parents and principals for giving a student who was on their phone for the whole class a C, make $45,000/year

play apex legends in the basement shouting racial slurs and eating cheetos for 2 years, get a $50,000 signing bonus on top of a $80,000 salary

Guess which one is more likely to be shot and killed at their job?

I’d encourage them to try standing in a closed garage with a running car to see how they feel about how dangerous greenhouse gasses are

I know there’s no internal logic here but why are they doing this?

I have the freedom to take Ivermectin to cure any disease or the government dictates my medical choices. The vaccine is evil and will make your heart explode but we won’t let liberals take it by choice, even when we cheer for their death. Government shouldn’t tell me how to live except “don’t take this ultra dangerous drug that you’ve had 5 times before with no negative impacts”

Just let liberals be dumbass sheep taking their poison. Why are you stopping them from “killing themselves”?

Is it because the party of “small government” is actually more concerned with what adults do to their bodies?

If it wasn’t for double standards they wouldn’t have any standards at all

As an mtg player these parodies are referenced enough that I think of them instead of the originals:

I’ve played everything

Great decision right as we head into hurricane season. At least we haven’t been setting records for the number and intensity of hurricanes, or this would be extra stupid

/s

Unfortunately, yeah. The more you let people walk over you the more comfortable they get doing it. Being blunt is a good way to stop that kind of behavior, when someone is rude asking direct questions like “why are you saying that about them?” makes people uncomfortable and will get them to stop dragging you into drama. Especially in today’s American climate people feel emboldened to attack people they see as “weak” so you need to not appear “weak” and (this is the much more difficult part) stand up for everyone else who the bullies are targeting

I mean, fucking whatever. Mt Rushmore sucks, I’ve been there. It insults the natural scenery by being a shitty half finished project on what was originally a beautiful mountain. Adding Trump to it would make it an even better metaphor for the US government, especially when he stops paying developers halfway through and we end up with a partially finished version of his face

A. Fucking. Men. Brother

Great point. I’m sure like most things related to shitty American politics if you go back far enough there’s Reagan bullshit in there too. We had a lot of opportunities to not be here, and yet here we are

“Hey I know just made more money than the Roman empire was worth by manipulating politics but ummmmm… could you please make rules that stop you from beating everyone else?”

The time to stop this was in 2016. Democrats had every opportunity and continued to fellate their corporate overlords instead of even paying lip service to their base. We’re in the “find out” phase. I’m sorry you’re losing your job, but guess what, it only gets worse from here

I know this is all about optics, but I’m sure for all the people who have had to deal with the criminal justice system they also know how shitty it is. 91% of cases result in a guilty plea, 7% end up in some sort of dismissal and only 2% actually go to trial. The system is built to make being guilty the easiest choice, and your lawyer will do everything in their power to get you to take it

I’m not certain about the most annoying, but this song is pretty bad

I don’t know if it’s exactly what you want but A Las Vegas boy sang gospel songs for 3 hours straight until his kidnappers brought him back back in 2014
