“Freedom to assemble” is not the same as “freedom to assemble wherever you want doing whatever you want to whoever you want for as long as you want.”
-
Additionally?
They’ve had their freedoms, to protest, to assemble, to act like asses, to spout their right wing slogans, to literally sh*t all over the place, to drag…

Not while wearing a uniform during an illegal protest.
Not while swearing to protect their states, and to hold themselves to a higher standard than the rest of the populace.
And then?
No, they can’t side with bigots.
Not a cool look for the people you hope will protect everyone, not just the White people who believe…

All truckers are not bad people.
“Truckers” that use those rigs as weapons (the tiny tiny tiny percentage of all Canadian truckers), blocking the border and preventing people from doing their jobs, doing more harm and blocking more work than they ever claimed to to free up, while at the same time being funded by the…

Cowards.
I’m sorry.
As a coward myself, I recognize this weaselry: it’s cowardice, pure and simple.
To be clear though?
My particular cowardice isn’t like these farbling weasels.
This’s pathetic.
And hypocritical.
And right up the alley of the GQP.
What’s the new name of the Republican party?

Dang.
Literally, I started reading Gizmodo, and AV Club, and the Root, and all the rest, after being sent to a Jason Torchinsky article.
I don’t even remember under what circumstance.
But you two are the only reason I’ve kept coming back, as the other sites have gone through their drastic changes, and through it all, I…

Without double standards, White people would have no standards at all.
This kind of behavior from the IOC is pathetic, and of course I remember the summer olympics, and if people wonder why the ratings are so low?
Things like this.
Absolutely things like this.

Yeah, what’s with this sentence:
““Lets Go Brandon” flags waved, chants of “Fuck Joe Biden” seemed to erupt out of nowhere, camo garb abounded, but above all, 4x4 culture flourished.”
-
That sentence lands a little heavily, David, with no qualification, hidden in the midst of the article.
Do you mean, that 4x4 culture is…

I tried shaking my cane at both of them, tell them to just quiet down and hold hands and get over it, but nothing doing.

Here’s an idea: having to get a shot isn’t the same as slavery.
Here’s an idea: a jab is NOT the same a Nazi tattoo identifying someone they want to gas.
Here’s an idea: you’re too dumb to realize you’ve been inculcated by the very people you claim to oppose, and the very ideas you claim to fight against? Are the one’s…

Um.
You do know how history works, right?
Sure, preach to me all you want about what the Democratic party used to be, as long as you’re willing to listen to what the Republican party is now.

No, they weren’t.
You know who did burn cities?
White people have burned whole Black communities to the ground, then stolen that land, and put their own cities up instead.
So, one difference between, say, a protest, a legal protest, and the activities you mention, is that no, despite what right wingers say, people…

What commercial was that?
“I won art!”

To begin with, at the time, the press was calling out the ‘violence,’ people like you were calling out the violence, wait, wait, I mean, the ‘violence,’ as people like you always trot out the whole ‘looting and burning citys (sic) down’ except: go ahead and tell me, precisely, which cities were burnt down?
-
Which ones,…

Out of the countless things my roiling spirit wants to say, for some reason this oddity bumped to the surface:
How much are we fining the representatives for threatening not just the very lives of fellow representatives, and thus by doing so the daily operations of the United States of America?

And before you talk to me about their online security, go read the story about how an errant NPR radio signal borked MAZDA navigation systems.
-
It’ll be even more fun when someone sends NPR to a TESLA such that the FSD hunts cyclists.
It’s like the Most Dangerous Game all over again with Musk in the, um, driver’s seat.
A…

Wow.
This totally demonstrates that all Teslas are one software update from going full on ‘murder all people,’ and let’s all hail the algorithm and beg it to keep that from happening.
And it’s totally comforting that with one update all of them could be aimed or their software totally borked by a nasty minded hacker.
So.…

This!
And I was also taught: try not to drive such that my safety depends on other drivers doing the right thing.
So, for example, if I need to turn left on a busy road, but the road is icy, and there is a car on my bumper, and one behind them, etc. and it’s getting dark, but only gloaming, some lights on, some lights…

But why isn’t there a woman on the front of that boat?
Sub.

But what if my script to think I’m not a “Chump” just runs whenever my scripts trip over themselves.
I should really stop moving in patterns.
But.
I won’t.

I used to like Renner.
And I really really really like to think of myself as a pacifist, based both on my weakness combined with cowardice, and yet?
I so want to slap that smug self satisfied smirk off whatever plastic mask pretending to be a face so hard that his children will never ever look that way.
