I was just saying to my husband the other night, ‘ive known a long time that I’d see the end of the world in my lifetime. I just didnt expect to see it before I turned 40*.’
This is just disgusting. Those people were just minding their own business, and these fucking psychos just couldn’t leave them alone. The state of the world is depressing af.
It'd be hilarious if Trump wasn't so terrifying. I think the man is a moron, but he could bring an end to our nation if reelected. People need to listen to things like this: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=DyWIhdg65wg
You can find this episode outside of YouTube. It's a very important recounting of history.
A good friend of mines wife had to carry a fetus with un-treatable Gastroschisis to term (AKA died withing seconds of birth) because of these pro life shitstains.
Did he think his pardon worked going forwards too? Like he was now untouchable for all crimes including the words “ponzi” and “scheme” for all eternity?
This guy is obviously a dumbass who is bad at crime. At least this time he will pay for it.
More like a serial kleptomaniac who can’t help but forever try to take what’s not his. “Thrill of the crime” or something.
A lot of heist movies center around similar characters who are always tempted by “one last score”. Their penchant for crime is their defining characteristic, the only thing they’re comfortable doing because they’ve become so good at it.
1% sounds low but legitimately how many people in 100 are looking for a new house? Like thats still a shit ton of houses. I would say in my immediate friend and acquaintance circle I know about 100 people and in the last year one of them bought a house and another tried but hasn’t succeeded. So that’s anecdotally that’s 2%.
Even that is unrealistic. Unemployment skyrocketed under Trump and the economy tumbled, all because Trump thought he could save money by cutting pandemic response preparedness, and undercutting public health all because his ego wouldn’t allow a doctor to get more media time than him.
There’s this delusion amongst transphobes that they can “always clock a tranny” and that they’re never wrong when they decide that someone is secretly trans because they have a more prominent Adam’s apple or something equally stupid. Of course the truth is that they’re wrong constantly and are just idiot bigots, which this illustrates rather poignantly unfortunately. They don’t really know who is or isn’t trans, they just want to pretend they know so they can feel vindicated by “recognizing” trans people, and they convince themselves that trans people can never truly blend in to society. Because if trans people really were capable of being indistinguishable from cis people, then that would mean that at some point they might have, gasp, treated a trans person like a human being and used the proper pronouns. The horror.
Of course trans people shouldn’t have to blend in, they shouldn’t have to pass to be treated as the gender they identify as, or with basic human decency.
It shows people that it’s not just trans people at risk due to this violent rhetoric the right spews. Everyone is at risk of being targeted even if they are perceived as trans.
I’m a cis man, but I don’t have the deepest voice, and I’ve been worried about this kind of thing happening for a while since I live in the south, and it looks like I was right to worry.
It shows people that it’s not just trans people at risk due to this violent rhetoric the right spews. Everyone is at risk of being targeted even if they are perceived as trans.
The guy in Oregon was stabbed while defending his trans friend.
Yes I know, I read the article. I was referring to the first incident with the perception remark, but it still makes sense to include it in the headline with the second scenario for clarity’s sake
All the other responses have been good but I think it helps to show to slightly more “moderate” transphobia who wouldn’t kill transfolks themselves but don’t think anti-trans rhetoric is that bad by showing that they themselves are also in danger.
You’ve admitted to trolling. You can’t really get pissy that the mod is doing their job by removing your trolling comments. You don’t have any leg to stand on here.
Given that this is the third time he’s been charged with defrauding people, I’m just kinda wondering what he thought was going to happen. I mean, he stole 200 million the first time around, so I can’t imagine he was short on cash unless he didn’t even bother to evade taxes and stash everything offshore. Which would be shocking.
The second thing that blows my mind is that he somehow squeezed 35 million out of 150 people. That’s an average commitment of 230k per person. Giant Ponzi schemes I get, but this is like a high school field trip’s worth of investors and he collected 35 million of off them. Wild.
