I don’t know, I wouldn’t bet republican. I’d bet Libertarian, but that particular kind of Californian libertarian where they’re basically right in line with all the usual hard republican positions on everything except drugs and explicitly supporting the Republican party, rather than the more midwest style libertarian…

skeffles dismisses any replies that disagree with them in their threads, its best to do the same when they go down this path.

This is the type of topic we need Fancy Kristen for.

I’m so fucking happy that we’ve finally been exposed for what we are. Any meaningful discussion we ever have about improving healthcare, work culture, and policing among other things has always been drowned out by smug rhetoric about how we’re marginally better than the US. Any real progress only ever comes from the…

I for one am pleasantly-surprised with the fantastic restraint showed by our police forces. We all know that in most “other circumstances”, ramming or assaulting a police officer would result in a deadly fusillade of bullets. I sure am glad that our police are calm and consistent in applying force to maintain the rule…

Yeah. Grief is hard to process. I’m not gonna judge someone for that one. And I am real judgey.

This one makes sense to me and I think it’s sweet. A child who departed this world is still your child. One of my dear friends has seven kids; six on earth and one in heaven.

Sure they would. They have to talk to the help at some point, don’t they?

“When will you be done painting the great room?”

The problem is that a looter doesn’t carry a flag saying LOOTER on it so publicly disavowing them and making efforts to turn them into authorities is hard until they reveal themselves.

This, a hundred times over.

Just gonna point out that the January 6 guys managed to kill more cops in one day than an entire year of BLM protests. 

False equivalency. The Nazis are ALLOWED to be a part of the group. The violent idiots at a BLM rally acted on their own accord.

This is the kind of person I think of when someone says, “your average gun owner”.

but only because it is so old that it predates the microchip.
