  1. It's all fun and games until the tentacles emerge.

  2. Yes, this was the plan all along.

  3. It's the hip new way for kids to say they're mad at their parents. Better than pregnancy, I guess.

  4. Why do conservatives always start their posts with "As a Democrat. . ."? But it is good to hear you're voting for Biden, at least.

  5.  @kemradovich2874  By saying that leaders are allowed to do crimes if they want?

  6. It doesn't, if that's how you state your case. The bigots are the ones that state their case in ways that are antisemitic.

  7. I think it would be more accurate to attribute that to the stubborn than to the obedient. There are many who take pride in doing something incredibly stupid, merely because someone told them not to, and they refused to listen.

  8. Why? That was an official art. It wasn't even dubious, he was attacking terrorists.

  9. Unfortunately, Jesus lost in the last election, so he's out for the next four years.

  10.  @legaleeblonde4310  No, he let him off because he didn't have a case that he could prove in court. He made claims about Biden's competency because he's a Trump appointee that wanted to get some political digs in.

  11. They do a good enough job of misrepresenting themselves.

  12.  @MK-lh3xd  But that would end the civilian casualties, and then they would have no source of financing.

  13. Imagine if any Republicans were hypocritical enough to complain about this, given the previous administration.

  14. @ You prefer teen pregnancy? To each their own, I guess.

  15.  @legaleeblonde4310  He's allowed to do it, Thomas said he could.

  16.  @brentharrington9235  Enemy combatants operating overseas do not have due process rights. This was not a police action, it was a military one.

  17. That you would make aclaim like that is the antisemitism, since nobody actually is making the claim that "Being against murdering children" is antisemitism. This whole war started because Gaza was murdering children and Israel wanted to put a stop to that.

  18. This is different though, they're currently acting in self defense after THEY were attacked. You might instead compare them to Britain, if you're going to use a WWII example.

  19.  @whittenbarger9145  That has nothing to do with the matter at hand though.

  20. You're conflating two separate issues. The antisemitism has nothing to do with bombings or starving kids.

  21. That's what Tiktok has done to them.

  22.  @WilcoxNotreallythere  None of that made any sense.

  23.  @lulu111593  The survival rate of base covid was 98.3%, IF you received proper medical treatment. Those odds go down significantly if the hospitals are overwhelmed by a wave, as is currently happening in several US states, or if you get the Delta variant, which is more contagious. And that is just considering the survival rate, there is also the damage beyond simple survival, like long term health complications from covid, or just the inconvenience of being in a hospital for weeks or months of painful recovery. Not to mention the strain that this is putting on healthcare workers, or the healthcare costs, or the fact that hospitals overloaded with covid patients then do a worse job at handling every other medical problem like cancer or heart attacks. Also, the sooner we get everyone vaccinated, the sooner we can get past covid. If lockdowns, mask wearing, and other restrictions bother you, then vaccination is the path out of that, and whining about how you don't like those things won't make them go away any sooner.

  24. Typically you cannot collect unemployment if you were fired for cause. If you fail a drug test, for example. This would be similar.

  25. That made absolutely no sense.

  26.  @kemradovich2874  Obstruction of justice.

  27.  @kemradovich2874  Nope. He'd be in a trial right now if he didn't have a fake judge.

  28. @ But the point is that these apps report to the CCP, not to "friendly people."

  29. @ Exactly, the Tiktok are making clear how stupid they are, but the jokes on them, because everyone already knew how stupid they were. That's why they made the Tiktok ban in the first place.

  30.  mikea9516  They are taking accountability for their own actions, exactly like the previous administration never did. My point was just that it would be hypocritical for Republicans to complain about any minor, incidental slip-ups, when the previous administration was using the Hatch act for toilet paper on a regular basis.

  31.  @amanhasnousername1614  You have to understand, if they loved the republic or the constitution, they wouldn't want any of this, but those are just words to them. All they really care about is power, and this court is giving them the power that they don't have i their own lives.

  32. Factually though, it is. In the real world, at least.

  33. Nobody is talking about fair political criticism here, why do you bring it up?

  34. So they agree that he could have a political opponent assassinated, so long as he uses official US military assets to do so. Good to know.

  35. LGBT people cannot kill you by breathing in your direction. That would be the difference here.

  36.  @Jetairplane  You can't get AIDS through the air. You should have learned this in health class.

  37. Biden's defense did not rely on presidential immunity of any kind. It was that he hadn't done anything that rose to the standard to justify a conviction.

  38.  @legaleeblonde4310  I also get posts deleted all the time, it's not related to which side you are supporting at the time.

  39.  @legaleeblonde4310  Nope, there are no rules beyond what each channel sets, mainly in the form of word filters. You certain words in the same post, whether favorably or unfavorably, and that posts tends to not appear. It does not seem to take sides, except against clearly stating political points. I also find that when other people can say things I can't, it's either just because of the other words I've been saying, or because they were using unicode characters to spice up the words so that hey pass the filters, but really, that's just too much hassle. This is just not a great place to have detailed political discussions because they don't want to hire enough human moderators to actually do a good job. But that's all beside the point.

  40.  @legaleeblonde4310  It remains true, but if your persecution complex can';t handle the truth, then I guess we're at an impasse.

  41. It was never about control It was always about a virus Fixed it.

  42.  @lulu111593  You are misunderstanding how medical data is tracked. If someone has covid, and ends up spending months in a hospital due to covid, and then dies, while in the hospital due to covid, their cause of death will be listed as covid, but will also include things like "organ failure" and "oxygen deprivation" in the report. This does not mean "it wasn't covid's fault! Leave poor covid alone!" Covid IS still THE cause of death, it's just that they make specific note of the exact mechanisms that led to that outcome. If someone gets shot through the heart, and dies, and they put "heart failure" in the coroners report, that is not evidence the shooter can use that "the bullet didn't do it."

  43.  @lulu111593  You are buying into flat Earther nonsense. Be better at being a human.

  44.  @lulu111593  Old enough to know that the Earth is not flat, and that pandemics happen sometimes. It is comforting to think that there is some grand plan, that everything happens for a reason and if something terrible happened it must be the fault of someone, because then you can blame that person and hold them accountable, but a lot of things in the world just happen, and nobody is to blame for them, there can be no "justice," you just have to try and handle the consequences as responsibly as possible, and burying your head i the sand is not responsible.

  45. No, it is not. It's the other things going on that are antisemitism.

  46.  @ItsCrap97  No DoJ prosecutors were working on that case, it was a state case.

  47. It is if you attack Jewish people or their culture while doing so.

  48.  @kemradovich2874  Of justice.

  49.  @kemradovich2874  First of all, it was a very real crime, second of all, they charged him within months of havign seized the documents, so it was nowhere near statute of limitations, third, it was always a federal crime, fourth, the "judge" is a she, but you're at least right that she has no right to judge, and would never be there if not appointed by an irresponsible president.

  50.  @kemradovich2874  The SCOTUS decision does not apply to any of Trump's current charges. The immunity only applies to official acts, and none of these were official acts.
