Don’t let Republicans pretend they care about children while allowing them to get slaughtered in the classroom and raped at bible camp and forcing them to give birth,
They care about people voting for them (and with that, against their own interests) and the only way to get that done is to rile these people up with irrelevant issues like drag queens. Why do you think fox news all of the sudden jumps on top of issues like this?
If people have nothing to freak out about they might look at real issues and notice that the conservative parties are working hard to thing their lives. Can’t have that, so let’s ruin the lives of others too by demonizing them. In the past it was the gays, this time it’s the drag queens because let’s face it: easy target and gays are acceptable now. Colored people and people with “funny” languages are also always a popular target for this bullshit.
Early Act 1 spoilerThey’re like Anders, the guy who pretends to be a paladin of Tyr, the god of justice, but is actually the willing servant of an arch-devil
To be even more fair though, not having to “serve and protect” like they lie about on their cars is not the same thing as not being ALLOWED TO.
They COULD choose to be decent humans who try to use their position of power to help people because it’s the right thing to do rather than an obligation, but of course, that’s not how a cop brain works.
Also, to be slightly less fair but no less truthful, the current scotus makes a mockery of the very concept of justice and most of them should be recalled and prosecuted for gross corruption.
Doesn’t matter. They got their expected political result out of their false narrative at the time. Anything afterwards is a half-measure. Don’t let the people in your lives watch Fox News, people! It’s literal propaganda…
This is exactly how it works. Put your lies on the front page, then apologize in a tiny sentence buried somewhere no one sees. They know their audience has already heard what it wanted to hear, the apology won’t change a thing.
Yep, 5x as many people hear the lies as the refutation or correction. What they changed it to was basically the same, anyway - instead of saying "something happened" it became "congress member says something happened".
Good luck getting to stay in most of those places. They’re happy to have tourists, not residents. Unless you have a lot of money to open a business. Proud little boys don’t strike me as wealthy.
What are the chances the Proud Boy will even make an attempt to learn Belarusian? My prediction is close to 0%. Probably would expect others to learn English instead.
To be clear, it wasn’t just an idle threat. His mother overheard him trying to acquire a rifle illegally, and turned him in.
It was Cruz’s mother who called the police and reported threats that her son had made, Officer Nick Soliz of the San Antonio Police Department tells NPR.
[…]
The mother “overheard a phone conversation the suspect made this morning in which the suspect attempted to acquire an AR-15 through an illegal private sale” according to the arrest warrant. When confronted by police, Cruz denied making any threats, the warrant states.
How is it that the people being harassed still vote for the people harassing them? It’s bizarre. Friend of mine’s grandmother was deported and he still votes R.
I honestly didn’t realize it was the same person. Also, you’re acting like having different opinions is a bad thing, and it isn’t. And to be clear to the audience, “racism” does not refer to discrimation based on race. It just means I disagree with gulible.
It’s pretty fucking racist to call a land with millions of indigenous people on it that white people stole from them “undeveloped land.” And that was the meme you put up.
I love how none of you actually answered thevquestion, and still acted like im evil for not liking illegals. Remember when Europe colonized America and genocided the locals, lets not have that happen again.
Democrats could rinse and repeat this political strategy to multiple white house victories. Create policy that benefits common people while showing republicans as desperate to a holes that want to stop the help at any cost.
Maybe they can sue for billions. Gawker got sued out of existence, I hope she gets some good US attorneys and files in a jurisdiction that has unlimited damages. Maybe we can all use the new “K” platform after she owns “X”.
Yep. Because they outed him. And he couldn’t sue them for that, so he waited around until he found something he could use to sink his teeth into them.
People were cheering when Gawker lost and got shut down because Gawker sucked. Not me. I saw a billionaire using the justice system successfully for a personal vendetta and was horrified.
Pllllllllllleeeeeeaaassseeeee let this go to trial. I’m begging y’all. They weren’t even active subscribers of Disney+, they only got the trial. But holy fuck either way, this is stupid. Arbitration agreements should be illegal.
Presidents today have never made any gestures toward amending that bit in the 13 amendment that still allows for slavery with extra steps. Even the ones that won a Nobel peace prize.
So to preface, I am absolutely and without reservation against the death penalty, so any state-sanctioned murder is unacceptable to me.
That being said, if they’re going for painless, why not just a captive bolt stunner the their brain stem? Like, having them lie back in a massage table with a container for the blood (heaven forbid the audience should experience the discomfort of gore with their death spectacle), and just pop it when it’s time. Guaranteed to shut them off, mess is handled, suitable for a casket, and no suffering. They wouldn’t even have a chance to feel it.
And if the thought of putting a human down like cattle is disturbing to you, good. It should be, just like any other way we would keep somebody locked up waiting to be killed.
The problem is the very pro-death penalty camp wants the dying process - not the being dead part after - to be the punishment. The pro-humane camp is generally anti-death-penalty enough they don’t get a seat at the method-decision table.
are there a significant number of reported “botched executions” with guillotine? Even if the weight is blunt, it is so heavy and comes down at such a force that it would likely break the spine and destroy the brain steam and cause a near instant death.
Or just plain pure nitrogen. Not the way they incompetently did it a while back where the prisoner suffocated due to his own exhaled CO2, but pure nitrogen while venting his exhalations.
I’m also against the death penalty entirely, but I’ve always wondered why they need to be conscious. Why can’t they put them under general anesthesia, then push the chemical while they’re unconscious?
That is, ideally, what they want to do. However, to do it properly you would need a doctor, and doctors won’t help because of the whole “do no harm” thing. Kind of against their whole thing.
Have you been to Utah? There’s probably a few “good Mormon” doctors who would do it, citing deep scripture regarding blood atonement and that kind of BS.
Pretty sure somewhere in their holy book says “Do not kill”, so probably Mormon has nothing to do with it. An atheist would have less reservations, probably.
Hahaha. The third chapter into the book, the big “good” guy - Nephi - kills a dude because the voice in his head - the “Holy Spirit” - tells him they need a book the guy has.
Or how about something more recent? Jeffrey R Holland - an Apostle of Jesus Christ - essentially telling Mormons to get their muskets ready to defend themselves against gay & trans people?
Mor[m]onism has always been violent and has embraced authoritarianism from the very beginning. Their proselytizing is just another form of colonialism and sending 18-19 year olds on missions (and having them pay for it) is just world-class brainwashing.
As a welder who has been trained to be very afraid of peacefully going to sleep in a forever nap, I have never understood why inert gas asphyxiation isn’t widely used. It’s literally easier than falling asleep and you can use the same gas over and over again.
Alabama tried that and managed to screw it up. You have to remove the carbon dioxide in the exhales to prevent the feeling of suffocation, and they didn’t provide enough nitrogen flow to do that. Took like twenty minutes of clearly desperate gasping and convulsions for the guy to pass.
You just need a one competent psychopath on the president chair to turn US into a dictatorship. Like in Weimar Republic you needed one on the Chancellor position
We are playing Secret Hitler, and the fascists only need one more policy. We know who the Hitler is. Too bad we have no interest in passing five Liberal Policies. If only there was a way to win as a non-fascist…
