Fuck you WaPo. You helped him win so now you can gargle his balls until you choke on them. Bezos and the rest of the billionaires were fine with the fascism when they thought they could insulate themselves from the fallout. I don’t want to hear your complaints now that you’re having to deal with tariffs.
Being allergic to peanuts isn’t dangerous when the whole country prefers almonds.
I see you’re one of those people who think all CEOs are intelligent people who rose to the top through hard work and determination.
You don’t need to be smart to be a grifter. It’s not doctors and scientists buying most of the snake oil.
That’s the only thing that ever has
I agree. Having sex with women is the gayest thing a straight man could do.
It’s not bait to say that I think you’re distracting from an important conversation by trying to play morality police on behalf of a group of people who didn’t ask for help restricting the language used on the internet. You took that upon yourself and decided that this was the time to try to shame everyone else into thinking the same way you do. Quit virtue signaling about ancillary bullshit and get pissed at your government.
I understand why you think it’s not OK to say and I disagree. Call that what you like. It makes no difference to me.
Some people are mentally deficient. Trump shares some common traits with them. That’s the way the world is. You don’t need to police other people’s comparisons.
My man, almost every worker you have ever interacted with is doing that job out of desperation. That doesn’t stop you in every other case so why choose this issue to start being concerned about their motivations?
You’re far from the only kid to learn that lesson the hard way. Not that that makes it better but at least you have company
Don’t make excuses for idiocy. Many of us grew up in those same places with the same ideas you’re talking about constantly thrown at us and we could see this for what it was long before now. Those people don’t see it because they don’t want to and that’s not anyone’s fault but theirs.
Ok, fine, but is making the president put up collateral going to achieve that outcome? It seems more likely to encourage bribing the president to give wealthy criminals a pardon while ignoring those who can’t pay the toll.
I don’t think money is the solution. The pardon exists to correct errors in the justice system. It is inadequate and insufficient to solve all those errors on its own but it can be useful in certain contexts. I think we should be pardoning more people in a thoughtful way, not less.
Clearly the issue here has more to do with Trump being a piece of shit than it does with the existence of a system for granting clemency. You could make the argument that a review board or some other form of independent review would be a good thing to add to the process but you could also make the argument that the best solution is simply to not make a self-serving piece of shit the President.
The person you’re taking to online has a vested interest in defending the position they put forth. Someone reading your response who initially agrees with the person you’re talking to does not have a defensive attitude to the same degree. Your arguments will be much more successful with the observer than with the other participant. You will probably never know if you had an impact on the observer. That’s what you should be aiming for though.
You don’t see how a comment about military service being generally unappealing relates to your comment about something making military service less appealing to women specifically?
Military service is already pretty unappealing to any empathetic human being imo
So do I, but this problem is much bigger than one man. He could not do what he’s doing without support from many rich donors and his party (which in turn relies on the support of the 30% of the country that reliably votes for them). Trump and many of his voters may be idiots but most of those other people are not, at least not in the intellectual sense of the word. They are making a calculated choice to enable fascism because they think it’s better for them personally than democracy. That belief and it’s associated threat to our country isn’t going away when Trump dies. In fact, it might get much worse if they can find someone who can advance that agenda without being a bumbling fool most of the time.
What makes you think anyone is in danger of losing their job? Red voters vote red every time. If you’re saying there should be a limit to how much bullshit they will put up with from their reps then I agree. However, history says there isn’t.
