So I get why large portions of those are bad/false, but what’s the alternative to the scientific method people are hoping we’ll use?

Pretty sure Change.org petitions have never changed anything and it’s just a way of farming your contact info.

do anything other than be his disappointing moderate Republican self.

The only acceptable “surveillance state” refers to a state that is easily surveilled by the people to punish its abuses.

Since when does LARPing as a soldier make you a soldier?

Yeah, I’m with you. I don’t understand why people are so negative about it. It doesn’t pretend to be anything other than it is (a slightly higher quality casual chain), and if you go to a decent one (virtually all of the ones I’ve been to) the food is better than most other chains and the menu has better variety. I’m…

I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that the police are more committed to white supremacy than they are even to other officers.

I guess I’ll keep hoping for a little bit longer, but I honestly don’t trust a #unity candidate like Joe “We need to reach across the aisle” Biden to do the correct but “divisive” thing.

I really hope that’s why none of them seem to be getting charged with anything worthy of their egregious transgressions and not the usual white conservatives can do anything they want and not be held accountable.

These people never mentally matured past high school, so it’s not that surprising.

That’s the story they keep telling, but if we look at history, it’s mostly just a tool for preserving white supremacy. A violent and well-armed bunch of rednecks policed by an equally violent and well-armed bunch of rednecks can let loose with violence and savagery on any population that they feel threatens their…

Unfortunately, 1/6 wasn’t a true mob. It was a premeditated and highly coordinated attack meant to look like a spontaneous mob that got out of control.

It’s a coup. They don’t give a shit how the existing system works. They wanted to murder enough people that they could make their own system.

Consequences and accountability are an essential part of reconciliation and healing anyway.

Trump can’t learn, so this lesson isn’t even for him so much as the next sleazy, self-serving fuck who wants to follow in his footsteps. It’s the same principle as a guillotine.

We let the last guy resign. Look how that went: Decades later and they still haven’t learned the fucking lesson. Conservatives just tried to overthrow the government encouraged and spurred on by a bunch of malfeasant and self-serving worms. There’s no room for weakness here. Crucify them all.

If when all is said and done, they are simply allowed to disperse and go home with only a couple of arrests, then this country truly has no future. This is armed rebellion. This is treason. This is terrorism. There must be dire consequences for each and every one of these terrorists.

And that’s just one of a long list of issues with those other groups.

Yes, this is it. Trump is the inevitable conclusion of years of GOP strategy. He’s a full on fascist, while a lot of the GOP establishment are just happy to play with the fires of fascism for the sake of their own political ambitions even as the nation gets burned by it. With Trump out of the way, they’ll walk the…

I cannot emphasize this enough: it literally does not matter what phrasing you pick. You will always have to explain it, because people like Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity and the editorial board of the Wall Street Journal and someone’s Uncle Drunkard and whoever the fuck else exist only to spin tales of utter…
