That’s why we’re about to get a leftist senator with Nazi tattoos who was a mercenary & worked at a torture chamber. Can’t happen with anybody else.
Hopefully everyone realizes this time why every single architect of the Iraq war should have been tried and imprisoned for war crimes
That's literally the job of a candidate running for office. Motivating people to vote for you. That's why you campaign. That's the whole thing
Thinking that it's more reasonable to change the minds of 90 million people than it is to change the behavior of one single political candidate is kind of wild, especially because the only practical way to do the former is through the latter.

My guy grew the chin-beard so we wouldn't realize he's actually Dan Halen from Squidbillies
One was a truck driver, the other worked for Oregon Corrections Enterprises teaching prisoners upholstery skills
This is a really good example of what we mean when we say behaviors are criminalized by race. Wearing sports apparel with melanin in your skin is enough proof to have you labeled a gang affiliate, tattooing a hate symbol without it makes you an “authentic” representative of young soldiers.

A tweet that reads: November @postoctobrist the arc of American history is long but it bends, confusingly, towards Donald Trump getting shot and killed for being a pedophile by a guy who voted for him to stop the pedophiles and who is, himself, a pedophile
Hey, remember when that Ayn Rand worshipping d-bag Eddie Lampert became CEO of Sears, separated all of the company's departments and made them compete with each other without considering their role in Sears' overall profit?
So apparently we're doing that with the Army's institutional knowledge base
It’s honestly a sad artifact of an era when public imagination was so limited people thought using cuss words about one particular bank was a radical act granting someone a lifetime of credibility as a “truth-teller.”
If Ilhan says “At least in Somalia they execute pedophiles” and the Republican Party says “Ilhan calls for the President’s execution”…

A grand jury in the Dallas area then *declined to indict him*, and he has not yet faced charges.
Seems like many Texans believe a man has the right to kill his own child for disobedience.
This is "you brought it on yourself by dressing like a slut" logic

Sure I took my kids to lunch with a world famous pedophile on Pedophile Island but it's not like I left them there
Extreme dichotomy between the creativity and celebration of humanity in the half-time show and all the inhuman AI slop ads
Very cool how Aaron, Bluesky's Head of Trust and Safety, being near universally fucking loathed by the users here means Paul is always the one doing the job of explaining mod fuckups
The war on work from home is in large part a war on women having a career btw
