It would be naive to think race isn’t a factor here, but documentation of the crime is also a huge portion of it as well. I have seen the murder of Renee Good from at least 3 different angles, and Alex Pretti from 4, including the exact moment they shot him in the back. There are certainly a lot of Americans that would be more likely to justify this if they had been PoC, but there was also a lot of national outrage over Eric Garner and George Floyd because of how heavily documented those murders were.

Wow. Thank you for that limp-dick statement in these troubling times. Very inspiring, Mr. President.

No, I’m on mobile, and my phone is constantly correcting incorrectly. Lately it’s been, “anyway,” to, “Anyway,” because I start a lot of sentences with it, so no it thinks it’s supposed to be capitalized. It’s learned that, “thar,” is a word because I frequently fat-finger type it when I want to write, “that,” so I have to periodically delete it from learned words or it will start automatically switching to, “thar,” even when I type it correctly. I’m sure I wrote something that was a letter off from dispersing and it changed it to disbursing because I had a conversation with my dad about his mandatory 401k withdrawals six months ago.

This is from the 16th. A higher court already overturned the injunction. And then they murder another citizen today in what was clearly a point-blank execution.

True, but then again, there was that tow truck driver in LA who towed that ICE car, with flashing police lights, in the middle of a stop. I can’t imagine someone getting away with that if it had been a normal LAPD stop.

Fucking autocorrect.

Even if you like AI, this kind of post is extremely harmful. Leaf blowers are helpful for disbursing dispersing tear gas, not mace.

They had this grand plan to weaponize the DOJ, but no one stopped to ask, “wait, what if everyone on the jury fucking hates us?”

Trick will be that pressing the murder charge would be federal since a federal agent dies in the line of official work (though illegal), which would give the president grounds to push for death.

Federal prosecutors are having a real tough time getting juries to convict, and sometimes even indict, citizens accused of assaulting ICE and CBP agents. They have 30 cases against Chicago residents, and so far they’re 0 for 15. They couldn’t get a felony indictment for the sandwich-throwing guy in DC, so they went for a misdemeanor; he was aquitted despite clearly having done it. It is not at all clear to me that the feds could get a conviction for killing someone during what is, legally, a home invasion.

(This is not an incitement of violence towards any federal agents, nor am I advocating for anyone to break any state or federal laws. To any FBI agents reading this, I think you’re very smart and handsome.)

Please grow the fuck up. The majority of people who didn’t vote for Harris weren’t, “throwing a tantrum.” They were tired, working class people who didn’t feel that voting would improve their lives and didn’t want to waste their time on it.

Election day is not a holiday in this country. Mail-in voting is not available in many states. Voting is a hardship, one which is most felt by working-class voters making hourly, minimum wage. If you want those people to vote for you, you have to give them something to vote for.

How did the Democrats do that? Well, first they ran an 80-year-old man that the majority of their voters didn’t want running in an essentially unchallenged primary. Then, when the cognitive issues his team were clearly hiding spilled out on national TV, they allowed him to dig his heals in and stay in the race until the 11th hour. When he finally dropped out, they replaced him with a candidate who failed to win a single primary state and had her campaign with Republicans because they decided it was better for her to appeal to conservatives than her base. Oh, and they wouldn’t stop funding a genocide, can’t forget that.

It is not the voters job to get politicians elected; it is literally the exact opposite of that. The Democrats did a spectacularly bad job in 2024, and the fact that the people associated with the administration and the campaign still have influence within the party is absurd and disgusting. Point the blame at those who deserve it.

After careful examination, I have determined it can’t be set to Mr. Brightside.

Getting real fucking sick of Europeans saying shit like this. You spent the last 70 years benefiting from the U.S.'s obscene military spending, and now you’re whining that the superpower has gone mad and come for you. Well, it turns out the imperial boomerang doesn’t just describe the people getting beaten and shot by militarized thugs in American streets. It also describes the countries that sat back and watched the U.S. empire grow, occasionally clucking their tongues in disapproval while happily lapping up the benefits of an imperialist ally.

The empire has come for all of us now. Find solidarity with those who want to fight it or surrender, but throwing up your hands and saying, “it’s not my fault, you fix it,” sure as shit isn’t helping anyone.

Well, he was found civilly liable for rape, so I’d say that one is settled. As for pedophilia, we have a lot of circumstantial evidence, and he’s literally blocking the release of the hard evidence, so I’d say most reasonable people can come to that conclusion.

Is every authoritarian strongman a catty old bitch, or is it just ours?

I mean, that depends on the age. If that kid is 7 or older, yeah, you should probably look into therapy to figure out where that behavior is coming from. 5 or 6, well, kids are still developing emotional regulation at that point. I’m not saying the reaction should be, “OK, we packed a banana,” but probably something more like, “Oh no, I’m so sorry, we’re going to have a talk about how it’s never OK to hit, have you witnessed this kind of behavior before?” then offer to pay for the glasses. (Also, packing a banana isn’t a bad idea, as well as making sure he’s getting enough sleep. 9 times out of 10, when young kid gets disregulated, they’re over-tired or hungry).

“You Europeans need to learn how to stand up to Trump and the far-right fascists! Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to get back to my podcast, where I platform people like Steve Bannon, Ben Shapiro, and Charlie Kirk, rest his soul.”

No. Facism rewards loyalty and cronyism, not competency. We have the most powerful military on the planet, but the regime is full of bumbling idiots whose only skills are flattering the president. For now, there’s enough brainpower left at the Pentagon to pull off the Maduro abduction or invade Greenland, but after a few years of Trump/Hegseth/Miller calling the shots and firing anyone who points out their mistakes, we’d be toast.

The civil war has debatably already begun in Minneapolis, and anyone not swayed by the footage of Renee Good being murdered by ICE isn’t going to be swayed by a common ground on healthcare costs.

There are pretty good odds you’d get shot for ringing the doorbell.

The other 40% are independents. Difficult to say which way they lean, but we’d need almost all of them to oppose the regime to stop being the minority. I assume you’re being tongue and cheek about the, “two arms,” thing, but in case you’re not, having multiple guns would make it easier to arm friends/family who share their ideology and create a paramilitary force (although, right now, if you wanted to join a right-wing paramilitary force to enact violence against your perceived liberal enemies, you could just join ICE).
