what an effed up 5th world country with these pardons. Like who comes up with this crap? lol

Biden might as well go out with a bang. Start pardoning serial killers and rapists before he leaves. Why the hell not?

People trying to convince themselves that Trump is a harmless buffoon are a big reason he got elected again, so good job.

If we get annexed, we get the benefit of being able to hire illegal immigrants to shovel our snow for inhumanely low wages. It would be nice to have an abuela live-in nanny to teach my kids Spanish and cook tacos and fajitas every night. And guns. His and Hers AR-15s. Lil Smith and Wesson's for the kids. And maybe something exotic for the weekends with the boys like a Browning .50 cal machine gun.

I draw the line at Celsius vs Fahrenheit though. I will march on DC if they force us to use that system.

I wonder what sorts of situation would drive someone to do something so drastic? Possibly someone put in a desperate hopeless situation using the last tool left to them.


This is the eating the rich part, if you are wondering.

We can create a new metric system: Celsenheit. It will be more confusing and use the boiling and freezing points of the current King’s horse as a reference.

Sounds more like some kind of corporate hit man kind of thing. He waited for him in disguise, had a silencer, shot him multiple times to ensure he died and had an exit plan.

I love Bernie.

Ya, but he was also on a bike, so...


Too early to tell for now. Maybe a hit man was cheaper than the highest coverage tier the killer could afford.

I hope so, let them taste a little bit of the violence they've been stoking for decades among the lower classes

But then you'll lose the moral high ground and all is lost. If you don’t like how things are you gotta vote harder.

Guys, this is our 1812 moment.

Except this time when we march on DC, people will call us patriots and peaceful.

Little do they know, we plan to burn it to the ground like our ancestors did. Then we'll receive pardons for it.

It's a shame it happened today as today is the anniversary of the government assassination of Fred Hampton. There's something to actually be bummed out about

What's most important is that we demonstrate a willingness to work across the aisle and respect our institutional norms.

Right? Why would Canada be one state when even medium sized Alberta has almost 5M people (versus Wyoming's 600K).

Give Canada 10 states and 20 senators, plus the congress reps in accordance with population.
