JTode , in Justice Alito says Congress lacks the power to impose an ethics code on the Supreme Court

This is just… wow. The breathtaking arrogance of it.

It’s not often these swine can actually get a visceral reaction from me anymore, but wow. Time to get back to work on that Novelty Giant Cigar Chopper I’m working on.

Because it lacks a lot of features.

Who should we trust more:

the 3 military personnel/whistleblower who requested to be sworn in under oath

Or the person who frequently denies to be put under oath and instead vents on LinkedIn

Notice the absence of people telling you that Democrats and Republicans are the same. Wonder where those are…maybe too busy ignoring reality.

Kittenstix ,

By the recent actions of lefty content creators i’d say that group has almost completely lost relevancy.

We are seeing a sort of ‘cooling’ of bad leftist politics like refusing-to-vote and all-or-nothing mentality.

Which is good because if we have any hope to mitigate the worst of climate change for the disenfranchised in our society it’s with the democrats.

Your post bends like a pretzel to assert some thing or other ,but it reads like nonsense. And I don’t think I need to know more.

Kittenstix ,

It’s my understanding one of the groups that say democrats and republicans are the same were the Bernie-or-bust crowd that sold their viewers a black pill towards voting, an example would be Kyle Kulinski, he recently spoke on how he loves biden and how biden-pilled he is.

Huxleywaswrite ,

Those were right wingers though, the were just trolls that were trying to convince the left not to vote so they would win.

Kittenstix ,

Ahh, i suppose that makes sense, but it’s not like they really needed to considering prior to 2020 voters under 30 turnout was abysmal.

TransplantedSconie ,

Someone program this bot wrong?

It replied to a sexual assault topic with barfing up a climate change ummmm…response?

Kittenstix ,

I was responding to the comment about the people saying democrats and republicans are the same, does no one remember Bernie-or-bust? Those people said both parties are the same, but more recently those content creators are pulling way back from defeatist mentality. It’s a good thing.

Lol. Trolling never really gets old does it.

Sethayy ,

Hot take, but as bad as rape is - its nothing compared to the systematic fucking that is still running with flying colours both red and blue.

I’m sure we’ll see a million LGBTQ rights and bike lanes before a single major problem is solved - shit even if the FTC broke up a single super monopoly today I’d be suprised.

So I mean hey at least one of us is here

gmtom ,

Do I need to call your nurse?

Sethayy ,

Nah I’m just tired of the constant heatwaves that line our overlords pocket.

Tbh to put it in simpler terms I feel like were in a sinking ship hand bildgeing out water when there’s an asshole on the other side of the ship ripping out boards for his own benefit - scoop all you want but the problem is never gonna be solved until we look at the root cause. Both red and blue are contributers and will never make a law against those with capital (who had an entire island dedicated to rape??).

Never mistake the lesser of two evils for good, path to hell is paved with good intentions

Oh man, thread hijacker. I haven’t heard that term for a LONG time.

@Sethayy you should make a post about this somewhere

Misconduct ,

LGBTQ rights and the damage we’re doing with excessive cars are things that need to be addressed and solved though? If people would get over gay people existing and stop being so easily led to outrage about it we’d be done with it by now and moving the fuck on. To the detriment of not a single person. It’s an issue because people insist on making it an issue. God forbid you mind your own business and stop worrying about what random people do with their genitals.

Imagine trying to “both sides” something and starting your comment with “as bad as rape is”. Both sides my ass. Only one side is trying to make slavery out to be a positive thing for black people (teaching this IN SCHOOLS btw), obsessing over where people take a shit, and trying to make women barefoot and pregnant again. Both sides is a lie people tell themselves to try and pretend there’s a valid reason to be a bigot.

DreadPirateShawn ,

I mean, LGBTQ rights are only “not a major problem” to those who aren’t LGBTQ. But to many they’re absolutely critical too.

There can be multiple horrifying problems to fix. “All” would be stellar to fix, but “some” is still better than “none.”

someguy3 ,

LGBTQ rights and bike lanes

Giving people rights and building infrastructure. Major problems being fixed.

Sethayy ,

'course, but to quote the age old adage people are starving in Africa? shit we essentially funded government run in slavery in the mdidle east, but no of course everything is fine cause you’re able to get outside on your ride to work.

Sorry if this sounds a little harsh, I just worry the human brain gets some floating point rounding error when thinking about these issues, aka we can’t compare such big and small things - so things like this although positive are to most more of s distraction from greater issues like the super rich, than an actual solution (and like shit the rich had a rape island where we were just like dang, too bad no one can be convicted :/)

someguy3 ,

Not allowed to fix anything but the things of your choosing! In the order of your choosing! Bring everything else to a screaming halt!

Sethayy ,

I mean this post is able rape right? Obviously a horrible thing, then what do you think of the zero epstien convictions? Or is it OK to rape as long as its not directly in your face, so you can feel good about yourself.

someguy3 ,

See my previous comment.

Oh here I’ll copy it:

Not allowed to fix anything but the things of your choosing! In the order of your choosing! Bring everything else to a screaming halt!

I think this will work for your next reply too. And the one after that. Etc.

Sethayy ,

See keep thinking like that and the worlds gonna crumble around you while you organize some pebbles or some shit. We aren’t infitnite in capabilities, and surprisingly there is a middle ground where prioritization matters.

Apologies I assumed a greater than kindergartener level of rationale - I can use dumb dumb words if this is all a bit much to comprehend

someguy3 ,

Other way around, because you don’t want anything solved because some other item of yours isn’t solved first! Looks like I was right, see previous reply (so that will be my closing message)!

Ya I get how it feels like nothing ever gets done, or only the ‘little things’ but that seems to be how it works. I have some things I harp on about (first past the post voting in Canada) and everything else to me is something small. We all have our major issues we’d like to see handled (anti-trust/corruption is high on my list as well).

But you can still count this as a win and complain about what is left to do. It is a huge deal to some people, for those people it was probably their #1 major issue, potentially life changing. Not you or me, but doesn’t mean we have to be angry about that.

And just an aside, but I’d kill for more protected bike lanes. I don’t know if you are able to bike where you live, but it makes getting from a to b not a total pain in the ass.

Sethayy , (edited )

Yeah and I have no issue with solving problems of course, I come from small town Canada and an lgbt so I’ve seen a fair share of homophobia, but like if these tiny issues are used as smoke shields I don’t think people can properly rationalize that nothing I’d changing about the controlling powers, they’re only dangling such things in front of us like a carrot on a stick.

Get 80 year old crusty men out of office and we’d have climate change solved in a year and starvation in too - but you gotta walk before you run. I only see this as a (net) negative, because its convincing people ‘things are getting done’ while the scotus is actively saying they’re above the law.

That being said I do love biking and I’d die for an entirely bikeable city. But I’d be wrong to not first die for the people around me that can’t even afford a bike, nor could their farther, grandfather and most likely their children.

I must have missed the wording in this order that says Democrats no longer serve capital. Can you point that part out for me?

Is it paperwork that’s the problem? Or could it be the Republicans in these states that are committed to destroying the program and throwing as many people off as possible?
