Sure, it was just posted earlier and had been discussed, so you didn't have to sniff any asses to find it(though knock yourself out if you feel the need and have consent).



Anyway, the point was they had to race to the chair to get the first shot at talking. So he can, and did technically run.

Really? What kind of Press Conference has a race? This just seems to be getting dumber and dumber.

Don't worry Seth, I'm sure the response is coming soon. Elon's just figuring out how to get as Cybertruck charger installed at Putin's compound as a thank you.

It's the ones that smile and give it back to you where you can key the swastika into the side and know they'll like it.

Everyone else would just get a magnet... if you could get swastika magnets somewhere without being called a Nazi.

You could probably use something like a Cricut or X-Tool to make your own out of sheets of magnet backing.

At some point they need to square that away. They voted for someone who's platform included intentionally hurting a lot of innocent/vulnerable people.

They did that for a lot of reasons, and yeah, most of them were probably economic.
I'll give people a pass on not being smart enough to figure out that Trump is never going to deliver the economic part they want/need, because he truly doesn't care about anyone but himself.
But at some point people need to look in the mirror and accept that this is what they signed up for. They gave Trump carte blanche do do as much harm as he wanted. To hurt whoever he wanted, on the promise that he would help them.

Giving them the best possible benefit of the doubt, 70 million people voted for a platform that promised them what they wanted, with the cost being harm to some of the most vulnerable people in the country. Everyone made a conscious decision that that harm was justifiable because they would get what they wanted/needed.

We're in a similar situation in Alberta and Canada.

On one hand I've got PP telling me that he will make my life better, that I'll have more money in my pocket. Danielle Smith is telling me the same thing. But that promise comes with all the baggage of the BS trans rights issues the Danielle Smith is currently doing and PP has definitely nodded at. It's an easy decision for me. I'm not willing to vote for someone who claims they will make my life better if the trade off is letting them harm other, vulnerable people. Will any of that stop me from putting food on the table? No, and I'm grateful to be in that position, but regardless of where we are economically, we need to own up to our choices, and what the implications of them are. Regardless of why you voted for Trump, you also voted for all of the horrible things he's doing.
Trump voters voted for all of the horrible things he's doing. They own all of the horrible things he's doing.

Also bear in mind, an argument could be made that every government promises things that will harm people.
The difference is Donald Trump, and his ilk, aren't promising things that will have a side effect of harming people, they are actively promising to harm people.
That is the promise, harm for harm's sake.
That is, at least in some part, what 70 million people voted for.
Is that worth disowning your parents for?

Or instead to you continue contact in hopes there are opportunities to undo the brainwashing. We are talking about people you in theory love here.

I think you have to use both hands when you do it to not be mistaken for another approving Nazi.
One throws a salute and the other goes to make a mocking little mustache.
I believe John Cleese did it best.

Just point and laugh. Laugh really hard. Like this:



It will really cut to the bone.

That works. Do it Faulty Towers style then follow up with the finger to avoid any confusion.

Can’t believe I missed the “MAGA is as unfairly persecuted as trans people!” meltdown.

Always entertaining to see someone embarrass themselves so thoroughly. Kudos to the folks who stand up to people who sympathize with Nazis.

There isn't even a question, if you are a Trump supporter today, you're basically supporting a Fascist takeover.
I guess. It's one thing to be dumb enough to buy his promises despite not exhibiting any kind of plan to achieve them besides "that beautiful word tariff"

It's another to have a front row seat to the past 7 weeks and still be on board... which indicates that you're either so stupid that you're a liability to society or you're brainwashed and morally compromised.

Those people no longer get a pass.

Private for-profit detention center. They probably get paid per detainee so they probably don't like letting go of them easily.

What a truly messed up situation.

So glad I got a full week in New Orleans the final week before the election...that's the last time I touch U.S. soil until at least 2028. Europe / Caribbean-focused trips going forward, sick of these clowns.

It's too bad, tonnes of good people down there. Do something...

I realize every post you make has to somehow be a joke, but no, we probably shouldn't let that one slide.
