One way, pre-recorded beeper, more like it.

Get out of here you rich fucker!

So let me get this straight. A dude with no record and a judge order to prevent deportation, who didn’t resist law enforcement during his kidnapping, gets whisked away to a torture prison without pause, but a dude breaks a pig’s nose and gets to remain in the States? What incentive is there NOT to go down with the most violence you can against the abductors? When tRump is finally removed from power, hopefully with a hanging for treason, I hope the next president pardons people like Hector Villegas-Alvarez.

Why do people forget the lessons of the past?

All the people that would normally slap them upside their head die off.

Right? Like who the fuck cares? If I could call tRump a fascist dickhead to his face, I wouldn’t fear shit. Fuck this dude. Fucking Republican cowards.

They’d have to start caring about someone other than themselves to do that. Most have been programmed to avoid people and isolate to be safe.

Or maybe you just want an excuse to eat shoes.

I’m so glad we couldn’t fund all those aid programs with the money already set aside under the guise of cOsT sAvInGs so they still ended up increasing spending. Can we start asking them when they’ll start hiring all the people back since we can now see how inefficient this administration is. I know the answer to that but one can only dream.

It’s like they can’t come to terms with the way life is and that they might not be the center of everyone’s world. My 5yo has the same problem. Tomorrow doesn’t seem to exist for him, he thinks anything he wants to have he should have because he wants it, doesn’t believe in giving, even to kids he calls “friends” at school, some of something he has and needs it all himself, and getting him to be quiet for a few min while having a conversation with anyone but him will result in him relentlessly trying to get our attention. Oh, and a lot of the stuff he wants to do makes no sense and sometimes goes completely against the laws that govern matter.

Our society is being driven off a cliff by people who have the same mentality as a child who hasn’t learned to share. Grown ass mother fuckers, with no empathy or understanding of their insignificance in the universe, so they go scorched-Earth to get their way. It would be fucking pathetic if there wasn’t so much on the line.

I’ve seen M.A.S.H.. You can just crank the handle a few times to charge it!

“play Outer Wilds”

-god, probably

Two words for you: restocking fees!

Edit: And just like that I fuck up and reply to the wrong comment. Oh Lemmy, you always have a way of reminding me why I hate using phones to read and type.

That doesn’t answer their question, though.

The reply about NK seems out of place. Someone says a joke about strangling a [fascist] baby [in it’s state of infancy] and another mentions some event (presumably involving infanticide) happening in the most repressed and propagandized country in the world, but fails to mention what event they refer to. I am also confused…

But as many as possible and then turn around and sell them to US at crazy high prices! Malicious Capitalism!

Media is not a good place to learn about military life. If you are in the States, you might have a local VFW (Veterans of Foreign Wars). The old guys in there will likely talk your ear off about their experiences, just don’t press for details about specific combat experience unless they broach the subject.

If you want to learn more about the military and their oath, from popular media sources, NCIS is the show to watch. It’s relatively accurate in it’s display of service life, and they cite the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) in what seems like every episode. Now that is the real bread and butter of a military members legal guidance. Every military member is keenly aware of that book, especially when deploying.

Source: A military veteran and friend of multiple military peeps from multiple branches, backgrounds, and countries. The depiction of mindless drones is far from accurate. They exist, just like you have shitty people at any job, but as someone else pointed out above here, the higher up the branch you go, the more left-leaning the soldier is. That’s why tRump had to appoint a complete dunce to DoD, and not someone with military background and scruples. You know that if tRump could get military support from upper command that he wouldn’t hesitate to post soldiers around him for every presser. He is a weak-man’s idea of a strong-man.

I disagree. I’m glad people like my brother’s friend kept trying to reach me when I was still roped into the lies my parents regurgitated from the Republicans and ultra wealthy. It takes effort to get through that wall and reach the person. For me, it was pointing out all the lies I was being a mouthpiece to and checked for myself. He wasn’t mad, or condescending, and through his patience I realized all the shit my parents believed were basically all bullshit.

As for this comment, I get the sentiment behind it, but abandoning these youth as they parrot their parents’, just prove what the right says about the others like the Democrat party. I agree that a lot of their parents are long gone through propaganda and a buildup of lead in their brains, but we can get through to youth if we don’t write them off out of the gate.

Same. Almost died from MMR vaccine as a child. I live in a blue state so I’m not terribly worried, but I may become a test case in avoiding death from this shit before too long. Hope they get it under control and you had your wife never have to experience measles.

Let’s hope he visits some of the sick children directly!

Makes me sick to think about… 🤮🤢

You can shorten that to, fuck around, and find out. Some of these people are gonna feel the latter half of that real soon as they end up with bird-flu induced measles or some shit!
