“This trial has been nothing more than a distraction from the real crimes of the Biden Crime Family, which we’re still trying to find evidence of, but we’re sure they’ve gained a Brazilian dollars from their time in politics"
Seriously I hate that. I always fantasize about having sex with very attractive women. It really grinds my fuck gears because I know that I will be a virgin forever because prostitution is illegal in Canada. So I unfortunately can not pay a very attractive 18 year old woman to have sex with me. I really wish that I was Asexual...
Your mental outlook is uglier than your body, guaranteed. I’ve seen plenty of short kings who aren’t manly pull in pussy like it’s nothing, and chads drier than a desert all based on personality.
Fix your world view and you’ll see your luck change. Or keep things how it is and keep on being unhappy about it, I’m not your dad.

Trump Demands Biden Remove Ad of Him Calling Dead Soldiers ‘Suckers’ and ‘Losers’ - The former president said only a “psycho” or a “very stupid person” would’ve made such statements.
I love doom 3, but I also have a vivid memory of a sleepover at a buddy’s house in high school where we made a friend play it then we scared the bejesus out of him during one of the early locker scares that we saw coming and he didn’t.
Ah, fundamentalist christians who barely have an understanding of what their own religion says speaking on behalf of what they assume their invisible magic sky daddy would say in defiance of all evidence in their "holy book’. Who could have seen this gross misinterpretation coming, other than literally everyone paying the slightest bit of attention?
Yeah, we should really give two wet shits what the all-but-in-name dictator of Russia has to say about democracy. When we need advice about subverting democracy with false flag attacks on your own civilians, we’ll be sure to ask ol Vladdy what he thinks.
So do you plan on doing anything about it, or just going to pout about it and feel good about not voting when those people get bombed harder?
This is just virtue signaling. If you cared about the people you’d want to reduce the harm they’re facing, not try to moralize your bad choice on the Internet.
The other 30% are criminally stupid Americans who either want fascism or are too dumb to see how their actions promote the end goals that they pretend to fight against.
I’ve seen more than a few with post histories that legitimately make them look like they oppose fascism, but GeNoCiDe JoE makes them help the other team light a fire in the engine of the fascism train.
If you’re holding your nose in November like I am, I have no problem with you. But if that’s your single issue, know that the alternative is much worse. For the sake of harm reduction, it’s better to vote blue and stem the bleeding with someone who might bend to pressure vs the alternate option of ‘finish the job’ who wont.
If that’s your single issue and you vote third party, that’s the behavior I’m calling out, because like it or not, our system has only 2 parties that remotely have a chance in November. They’re lining up behind a convicted felon who wants to bomb Palestine harder and all the shit that’s in project 2025 while we argue and promote accelerationist behaviors to punish or try to make the party ‘learn it’s lesson’ when history shows they only ever move right in response to losing the left.
I fucking hate that I have to vote Biden again, but I understand electoral politics and know that accelerationist stances only harm the most vulnerable among us. Harm reduction sometimes involves doing things you find objectionable because the only other option is magnitudes worse. Biden sucks in a lot of ways, but he can somewhat be reasoned with and doesn’t want to take away my family members’ basic human rights.
It’s a shit choice, but life is full of shit choices. And more often than not, not playing the game defaults you to the worse option.
Do you realize that alternative political opinions are immaterial to electoral discussions about who can win on a first past the post electoral system? Maybe those alternative opinions should understand that 3rd party voting historically favor the right, which is currently running an antidemocratic fascist who wants to rev up the friers on the current genocide and spark new ones close to home?
I’m all for alternative political options and work on those locally myself. But if you’re only voting red party every 4 years, you’re directly contributing to the slow erosion of our democratic process.
Hell, these motherfuckers were emboldened by the right during Obama’s election. Let’s not forget that McCain not being a shitbag to Obama and defending him against his own voters was rather noteworthy.
Also, let’s not forget the unrelenting torrent of racism towards the Obama family during his term, and the various anti-trans rhetoric directed at Michelle specifically.
The American right are and have always been racist shitbags. They were just better for a while at hiding what they really mean, but between Obama’s election and the rise of trumpler, they’ve gone nuts (again).
The other options (as I see them are to do nothing and let this happen without comment, or try to specifically target settlers. But I don’t think the Maldives are out of line banning all Israelis considering how widespread Israeli settlers are (close to 10% of the population) and the shit they do to Palestinians…
What about punishing civilians for the actions of civilians? Close to 10% of the population are illegal settlers, so it makes sense to target the class of people doing the illegal actions.
Rep. Dean Phillips (D-Minn.) pressed New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) to pardon former President Trump following his recent conviction in his hush money trial....
Rep. Dean Phillips can go fuck himself with the business end of a rake. What kind of dipshit asshole would admit he’s all that shit and then says pardon him?
Good thing our country is a Democracy and there are a multitude of other options.
Only technically. You absolutely have the option of wasting a vote on someone who has basically 0 chance of winning. But most people are going to vote for one of the two options that can win.
And given that it’s the left quibbling over who to vote for while the right lines up behind their Führer, you can see why people rag on 3rd party voters. It’s the same way we got trump the first time, because people (like me) wouldn’t hold their nose and vote against the orange turd.
I don’t like a lot of the shit Biden is doing, but I sure as fuck don’t want project 2025 or my LGBTQ+ family losing their basic rights.
Keep moralizing to yourself about your accelerationist beliefs. You’re only lying to yourself and showing everyone that you have a basic misunderstanding of the electoral process.
But please, tell me again how I’m a fascist while you’re advocating behavior that will directly lead to direct and overt fascism. You may not like it, but it is what it is.
If you really opposed fascism, you’d take the path that brought about harm reduction instead of pouring gasoline on the fire (or advocating for the same behavior those you oppose do). But either way, I have no more interest in listening to your accelerationist moralizing. Good day.

I’m just glad the orange idiot roasted them to their face. It’s hilarious that he called out their shit electoral performance and bottom of the barrel chance at one of their own rallies.
He also talks about how he was vegan early in the documentary, not long before the iconic ‘getting a burger for the first time and throwing up in the parking lot’ scene.
I always attributed that to the obvious “his vegan body can’t handle eating all that meat at once” explanation, but him being an alcoholic would also explain that

I don’t understand why anyone is against contraception.
Its a great way to “trap” someone who you fear is going to leave you because you’re a slacker working a dead end job and you know they can do better if they could see the reality of the situation.
Funny enough, its also why they’re against no-fault divorces.
If they point out how obviously senile and empty headed he is, they lose 40+% of their audience because they value feels over reals and can’t admit that their soiled diaper daddy needs to be given the (political) old yeller treatment.
I was held for two hours. The first round of questions was about my views on Hamas.

He’s already well on the way to being a lapdog for Shanghai. He’s destroyed any semblance of political power Russia had, popped the balloon of military competence, is relying on them for stockpiles to continue to wage a war that Russia has already lost (even if they take the land, they’ve lost more than they can ever take [personnel, materiel, intelligence], and the Ukrainian people suffer for it), and encouraged NATO to grow more in a year than it had in decades.
Russia cozying up to China has already eaten into Russian hegemony before you even get to climate change effects.
Israel has urged what it called “nations of the civilised world” to refuse to implement any international criminal court arrest warrants issued against its leaders....
And the person holding the gun was propped up by Israel. Both financially via Qatari money Israel allowed in, and also politically by destroying the Palestinian Authority and their ability to govern.

Which they tell you about before you ever step on the trail, and tell you to take everything you bring in back out. It’s not hard in the slightest to put your garbage in your pack/pockets till you leave, but people are selfish, lazy fucks who can’t even do the minimum and respect the space.
The ones they have are full.
Which is why they don’t have them in a lot of places. Because being there and full is worse than not having them at all, since people just keep throwing shit on the pile.
So the fix is to have people changing them more often + even having more available, but that would require more work and money… blaming foreigners are just easier
It has nothing to do with blaming foreigners, my local parks here in the US are all carry in/carry out parks with lots of signs posted stating as such, and it’s not a massive problem.
I’m absolutely going to blame lazy fucks who can’t hold onto a bit of trash long enough to get to a trashcan or who can’t be bothered to clean up after themselves. Blaming it on lack of trash cans merely offsets responsibility and ignores that park cams are a magnet for wildlife and lead to trash blowing out of them
So the fix is to clean up your own goddamned trash and take it with you when you leave.
