Trump supporters try to doxx jurors and post violent threats after his conviction (t.co)

“We need to identify each juror. Then make them miserable. Maybe even suicidal,” wrote another user on the same forum. “1,000,000 men (armed) need to go to washington and hang everyone. That’s the only solution,” wrote another user. “This s— is out of control.”...

I feel the same way about “every accusation is a confession.” It’s such over simplified, sixth grade mean girl bullshit. Buuuuuuut it hasn’t been wrong lately, which is annoying lol.

Muslim nurse in New York fired after calling Israel's war in Gaza 'genocide' (www.reuters.com)

WASHINGTON, May 30 (Reuters) - A New York City hospital fired a Palestinian American Muslim nurse after she called Israel’s war in Gaza a “genocide” during an acceptance speech for an award for her work with bereaved mothers who lost their children during pregnancy and childbirth....

A lot of people miss that NY is a liberal state, but in the sort of “commercial liberal” way. It’s basically the embodiment of old school moderate liberalism. I’m obviously simplifying, but NY is Democratic, but not necessarily progressive.

I thought he meant Administrative Law Judge, and I was wondering where an ALJ would handle a traffic issue lol. I thought maybe if it was serious enough some jurisdictions would use ALJs for some traffic related regulatory infractions?

It’s scary how vapid the authoritarian, bootlicking, tankie brain is.

No he doesn’t realize that, the Foxosphere hasn’t adopted that position yet.

Just like “slammed,” if an article ends with “Here’s who…” or “Here’s what…” then I’m not fucking clicking. Why. Just why.

butwhyishischinabook ,

No just like, not a fill in the blank type headline. Everything doesn’t need to include slammed or end in here’s how, here’s who, here’s what, etc. Nothing against you, you’re just sharing the article, but whoever is in charge of drafting headlines for three last decade have really dropped the ball.

butwhyishischinabook ,

Just don’t use guerilla tactics lol. I completely agree with you, but that notorious war wargame exercise where fake Iran stomped the USN comes to mind. And, you know, Afghanistan, Iraq, and Vietnam.

butwhyishischinabook ,

I’m in the “pro gun crowd” and I, and many of us, absolutely do not think he should own a gun. Many of us very much support keeping firearms out of the hands of people with a history of violent tendencies and torturing animals. What are you talking about?? That’s like, one of the few things that the “pro gun crowd” and “gun grabbers” actually agree on.

butwhyishischinabook ,

Vote for increasingly tight background checks, micro stamping, and other solutions that don’t rely on the delusional and childish belief that only the batshit crazy police should have guns? What are you doing about it? I’m gonna take a shot in the dark here and guess voting for the public policy version of a miracle cure. How responsible.

butwhyishischinabook ,

“Policy that has worked the world over” conveniently ignoring that the countries you’re obliquely referring to are not the ones without guns, but the ones with meaningful social mobility and instead you’re pretending that the stronger correlation is guns. Across time and space, low social mobility among young men, specifically, correlates with rates of violence. But instead of trying to actually address the difficult issue here you’re just going to click those pretty little red shoes together three times and wish for a single policy that solves this extremely complex problem. Just unbelievably childish and naïve. Nothing but virtue signaling, hollier than thou bullshit.

butwhyishischinabook ,

Yeah but AW is a meaningless label that means whatever the specific AWB says it means, AFAIK none of the states flat out prohibit the sale of all semiautomatic firearms, correct?

butwhyishischinabook ,

Yeah I definitely remember the words “smoothbore musket” in the 2A. People thinking this law is a good idea have huge “but I love my local PD, they’re so helpful and I never get so much as a ticket, just flirt a little” energy.

butwhyishischinabook ,

lives in an era where vast swathes of the underclass live in de facto military occupation under a standing army in blue uniforms, where there is frequent murder with impunity and framing of innocent people to cover it up

“As it stands now, the Second Amendment is an anachronism that’s [sic] sole purpose for existing is no longer applicable.”

Unreal.

butwhyishischinabook ,

Sorry, I should have been more clear. I mean CO would be the first to do that, correct? Honest question.

Biden vows G7 response, ‘ironclad’ US support for Israel after Iran attacks (www.aljazeera.com)

US President Joe Biden has condemned Iranian attacks on military facilities in Israel, pledging a coordinated Group of Seven (G7) diplomatic response while highlighting the United States’s help in taking down “nearly all” of the attacking drones and missiles....

Wow so glad this is the lesser evil I’ll have to vote for. Fuck this country man.

Idk why you’re being downvoted, the country chose to be The Gambia, post independence, in order to avoid confusion with Zambia. Unless this changed after the fall of Jammeh?

butwhyishischinabook , (edited )

Huh. Maybe people think this is some kind of British imposition? But like, it’s not.

butwhyishischinabook ,

The part where the US isn’t THE city on the hill probably lol

Noooooo this was a uniquely American phenomenon. We definitely didn’t fare better than comparable countries, and conservatives definitely aren’t forgetting that other countries exist… again.

Wendy’s Vows No Burger ‘Surge Pricing’ After Online Fury (www.thedailybeast.com)

Wendy’s has spoken to its manager after suggestions that it plans to introduce “surge pricing” to its menu received a decidedly frosty response this week, with the company scrambling to clarify that it has no intention of making itself the Uber of fast-food chains.

Yeah it is, just like all that shit about how retail stores last year having to close because of crime AS CRIME WAS FUCKING PLUMMETING

Charlie Sheen “Assaulted In His LA Home By Neighbour Who Forced Her Way In” (deadline.com)

Charlie Sheen was assaulted in his Los Angeles home by a neighbour, police have announced. The woman charged was named as Electra Schrock. She was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon, force likely to create great bodily injury and residential burglary.

butwhyishischinabook ,

This is definitely true, but it’s not like rich people aren’t also dangerous, unhinged criminals lol

butwhyishischinabook ,

Not to detract from the sentiment, but automatic firearms have been fully banned in the USA for 40 years now and have been illegal in most of the country since the 1930s.

butwhyishischinabook ,

Yeah I hate to break it to ya but kumbaya isn’t going to beat the neo-Nazis.

Not sure about other states, but in my state you can agree to mandatory arbitration for past incidents as long as they don’t do reeeeeally egregious behavior like, eg, slipping a notice into your normal bills and having you “agree” by not objecting within X days.

butwhyishischinabook ,

Oh, so now it’s not just antisemitic to vocally oppose an apartheid ethnostate, it means you’re a holocaust denier. Cool. Did Antifa Inc. break into your house last night and steal the rest of your beer, too?

Today on “Inside the Head of a Russian Commander Assigned to Handle a Hostage Crisis.”

butwhyishischinabook ,

Yeah but that makes it harder for people to actually address the fact that high rates of firearm ownership is a necessary, but not sufficient, condition for high rates of homicide, which has consistently been correlated with a lack of socioeconomic mobility among young adult men across societies and times. But that’s hard, so instead we just sarcastically post “FREEDOM” and “now is not the time to address guns” while, ironically, never actually doing the difficult but necessary work of discussing the underlying structural economic conditions and caste dynamics which lead to this problem. Because that’s hard.

butwhyishischinabook ,

Every American lawyer: “Lol that’s cute.”

Yeah but then these self-centered extroverts who rose to the top of the pyramid in an office environment would have to deal with the reality that not everybody shares their preferences and that their work style isn’t objectively better. Can’t have that!
