  1. See, you just get a big saw, and cut the wang off the US and let it drift away. Everybody wins. :p

  2. "America is fundamentally good..." Sure, we still have massive inequality. It's a systemically racist country after all. People of colour are treated like non-entities and murdered by police all the time. The rich are immune to the law while the poor live under the heel of lawbreakers. Politicians can blatantly break laws and go against the Constitution in order to gain more personal power and to give more control of the country to the corporations that own them. Big business makes the laws and can take government money as they please. They don't pay taxes, but still get hundreds of millions in tax refunds for taxes not paid that comes out of the pocket of actual taxpayers. Government organizations that are established to protect the people are run by rich white folks who will happily throw people to their deaths if it means they can save a buck. Yeah, what a good country it is...

  3. I fully agree. These are cops. They need to be held to the law more than anyone. A cop breaking the law and assaulting an elder man like that needs to be punished to the fullest extent possible. Whatever the maximum penalty is, they should be getting it.

  4. But but but... that's a sign of weakness! How dare you expect the President to care for the people he's supposed to be taking care of?

  5.  @daemonzap1481  The bible DOES NOT condemn it. You just proved you've never read it. Heathen.

  6. Honestly these are all issues that have been around for ages... it's just that COVID is showing them on a much more noticeable level. Normally there's all the other daily nonsense to distract people from the massive inequity in the country. Now, with most things closed... people have to actually see what's been happening forever.

  7. The Washington Racists There. New name. Perfectly encapsulates the capitol of America.

  8. Someday Canada will just move in and take control of the US because everyone down there will have died of idiocy.

  9. Basically whoever comes in next has to instantly undo everything Trump has done. Put all the laws back in place, cancel all of Trump's placements in office, cancel all the tax cuts and kickbacks, etc.

  10.  @lennardkahn6379  Did you actually READ the information about that? How all the boxes that were removed were underused (ie only had a handful of mail a week) so the box locations were merged with other local boxes? These boxes were getting less than 25 pieces of mail a day, and so their locations were moved to convenient locations that people could easily access and which cut down on carrier travel times (they didn't have to drive 10 minutes to go pick up one letter). Did you also learn about how the number of mailboxes has been gradually decreasing year by year? How in 1985 there were about 400,000 mailboxes, meanwhile in 2011 there were about 160,000? The fact that many of these removals were do to the introduction of new mail centers (rather than a box on every street, people just dropped their mail at the local post office) and were largely done because ease of access and growing communities meant that individual out of the way mailboxes weren't as needed? Oh, no, you don't mention ANY of that, do you? Love how Republican arguments always conveniently ignore most of the actual information and just try and pick one random fact out of context.

  11.  @dontaylor7315  True. One of the key things to boosting an economy is making sure the people at the bottom have more money. The more money the people at the bottom (ie. the consumers) make, the more they can spend. Which then boosts sales and the economy as a whole (and allows companies to give their employees better wages, which continues the cycle).

  12. That's exactly what they've been saying. The terrorists that have been storming government buildings are being hailed as "patriots" defending the US. While all the protesters trying to fight for the right to not be murdered by the police who are supposed to be protecting them are "anarchists" and "criminals". Think for a second, what would have happened if the people at government buildings with guns, shoving the police around, weren't white? It would have been an outright slaughter. They would have opened up with every weapon they had to kill as many of them as possible. But, because they're white, they're allowed to do whatever they want. Because America is a white country for white people.

  13. 99% of Americans have no idea what "Communist" actually means.

  14.  @mtncat58  Yeah, Trump keeps saying they need to remove the ACA before they can put his "new and better" health plan that doesn't exist in its place. Except that's NOT how it works. You're supposed to have the NEW healthcare system in place and running BEFORE you remove the old one. But Trump doesn't and will never have a new health care plan. All he wants to do is make sure Americans can't get healthcare, and that's it.

  15. Stop filming us committing human rights violations!

  16. Which is why Trump won't rename the bases. Because he's anti-American. He would rather have the Confederacy back.

  17. That's fine. I mean, technically, it's not, but that's not YOUR fault. It's not like they focus on it in history class as they should. If you are black or have black friends (close friends who can open up about their struggle, not just some person you hang out with now and then), then you'd know about it. Even if you don't fully understand its relevance. I'm white (technically Middle Eastern, but I'm white presenting). My black friends had told me about Juneteenth, and I understood that it was important to them. But not being black myself, the real significance of it is hard to truly grasp. I mean, I support BLM and rights and equality for all, always have. But while I can sympathize with the strife black people (and other minorities) face, not having directly suffered the same myself means I can't ever truly understand what they feel. But I know injustice when I see it and will stand against it.

  18. No, racism is big business to them. It's one of their key points.

  19.  @fitawrarifitness6842  Looters and rioters don't care about what the protests are about. They're simply using them as a distraction so they can commit crimes. Though admittedly many of the supposed looters have been found to be led by cops themselves.

  20. All lives matter!* *as long as they're white

  21. @Beauty From Ashes Those services are social service, an aspect of socialism, but not its entirety. This is why you never have a "pure" government system, they're always a mix of different aspects. But Democrats have never once proposed true socialism. Far from it. They're still too tied to capitalism to ever do such a thing. But the brainless sheep on the right are easily suckered into believing they do, because those cucks are incapable of rational thought. And yes, socialism IS a good thing, if properly regulated and tempered with say, democracy.

  22.  Zero Cool  Ah so basically nonsense to try and excuse Trump for being the worst president in history who has done more to damage the US than any president or any enemy of the country ever has?

  23.  @kryptokingg  Of all places? This is what the US is all about. This is the land of greed, corruption and money over common sense. Of destroying the country for the absolute smallest of gains for a handful of people. Of blatantly committing crimes because you have enough money to be immune to the law.
    7
  24. Yeah, it's nice to see someone who understands that the rich people are the ones with all the money, and they're the ones who can afford to pay taxes that would actually mean something. A 1% tax on the 1% richest people is going to get you vastly more money back into the economy than a 1% tax on the other 99%.

  25.  @jailonbailey2149  Thing is there's a MASSIVE difference between democratic socialism and pure socialism. Democratic socialism includes government run services like police, fire, roads, public transit, hospitals, schools, etc... all of which Republicans have their base screaming against. Let's see how well they do without any of those services.

  26. What's sad is that there are people (former doctors and nurses) who listen to garbage like FOX and actually have started to believe the lies, even though THEY AS MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS ALREADY KNOW THE TRUTH.

  27. @★ Froggie Animation ★ America NEEDS a real leftist to come to power. But they're so enslaved to capitalism that they'll never be able to break out. One day, when America is a barren wasteland, and the trillionaires have left to other countries after sucking it dry, and doing away with all healthcare, social services, housing, etc... and what's left is a handful of starving homeless people... MAYBE then Americans will understand that letting a handful of ultra rich dictate how the country is run IS STUPID BEYOND BELIEF! But I doubt it. They love to see anyone who doesn't push the ideal of destroying the country to make a buck as a "communist". Even though in any other country those people are still considered "right wing". lol

  28. "I am a healthy American." As far as you know. Have you been tested? Are you asymptomatic? How many people could you be infecting right now? Also, what does wearing a mask to protect your fellow citizens have to do with being "free"? Also also... if masks are so terrible and only for terrorists and criminals and kinky people... that means you'd be perfectly happy going in for critical surgery and your doctor and nurses operating on you not wearing masks, right? Cause, clearly if a doctor is wearing a mask during an operation, it must be because he's stealing organs, right?

  29. But he won't. And even if he was convicted of something, Trump would pardon him as long as he's still useful.

  30. Trump wasn't legitimately elected. It was shown that he had actually lost the election, but the Electoral College, which is a horrifically corrupt organization basically ignored the official totals and put him into power anyway (with help from Russia as well).

  31. Yeah, none of these people have the first clue of what's happening in the country. They're clearly all FOX News viewers.

  32. She ran unopposed because he opponent had to drop out for personal reasons. And they STILL got 30% of the vote. That's how bad she is.

  33. A shame the voting system is horrifically broken and corrupt.

  34. It's hilarious that so many in the US government would call Bernie a "radical leftist" when his ideas are NOT leftist at all. While America loves to try and paint everything as Left vs Right... that's simply not how the parties are. It's essentially Far Right vs Slightly Less Far Right. Bernie's policies are what other countries in the world see as being Far Right. What they see going on in the US government is just a joke to them. But Bernie is STILL a step in the right direction. He's the START of what the US needs to become.

  35. Shame the people who need to understand this simple fact never will.

  36. HAH! Like most cops actually know what the laws are. All they know is that they're above all of them and can bully whoever they want, just like they were bullied when they were kids.

  37. Well, considering the cops WERE the looters and arsonists, it's not surprising. They didn't want someone filming them lighting buildings on fire.

  38.  Paul Nolan  True, but is it really blackmail when everyone already knows about it? :p Once Trump is out of office, he's going to get charged on a huge number of crimes. So I figure Putin's basically offering him a place to run away to just before he's removed from office. Of course, once Trump's no longer in power, Putin won't have a use for him, so it would be hilarious if Putin turned him over to the American authorities. lol

  39.  @brodyszone157  Because the constitution says so? And being a citizen and taxpayer entitles people to various rights. Though many of these rights get conveniently waylaid by legal maneuvers and usually only apply in full to the rich.

  40. Racism. Why else? Native Americans are often portrayed as "the bad guys" that brave Americans had to suppress for glory and freedom.

  41. Dear god! An actress is playing the Little Mermaid! Horror of horrors!

  42.  @JavierFernandez01  You're not wrong. If you look it up, most of the cops you hear about getting fired are now simply working for departments in new cities. They're suffering no real punishment for their terrorist acts, they're just being moved out of the public eye.

  43. Trump has done a great job at making the US one of the last placing countries in the world for many things (health, education, human rights, etc).

  44. Some years back NY cut a lot of police from the force. All the FOX News liars went on and on about how it would result in chaos in the streets, how crime levels would skyrocket, etc. And what happened? Crime levels fell drastically. Because people weren't being assaulted and wrongfully arrested as much. Average people in the street went about their daily lives and absolutely nothing changed for them. Why? Because you don't need a massive, overfunded police force with nothing to do but to abuse their power. Police need enough funding to be out there to FIGHT CRIMES. Report to thefts and break ins and murders and assaults. When it comes to helping lost children, people with medical or mental issues, people dealing with financial problems... all those need to be handled by social workers. NOT COPS.

  45. A lot of them are. Many of these groups are being led by people hired by various political groups. They get a dozen "rabble raisers" to go around and get all the idiots to flock around them and parrot whatever lies they want. It's something that's been going on in the US for years.

  46. The study Trump is misquoting didn't say that 85% of people wearing masks got COVID. It was a study showing that of people who got COVID who normally wear masks, 85% of them got it at a time that they weren't wearing their mask (like going out to eat at a restaurant). Others got it from family who they're at home with and not wearing a mask around.

  47. @rodney wade That's been proven to be 100% false many times. Try again.

  48. @★ Froggie Animation ★ Well, he's what Americans like to think of as "left". lol

  49. SCIENCE!

  50.  @SlamBaron  Well, there might be a few who don't support the rest... but as they don't do a thing to stop them... they're just as guilty. So are a good half or more of the Democrats who also just sit by instead of fighting through any means they can to oppose them.
