According to headlines lately, MAGA melts down fucking constantly. I hypothesize that they’re actually just liquid. They aren’t ‘melting down’, this is just their natural state.

Oh shit, yo trans peeps getting chopped from the military - assemble into a modernized and trans version of the Sacred Band of Thebes?! We could use a well regulated militia to mop up some Agent Orange right about now…

Edit: THE SACRED BAND OF T’s!!

Well… I’d place that as exceeding my personal expectations, so… yay?

Any hope of some actual positive reform with this guy, or are we back to old cult dance of fucking alter boys and sucking political dick?

We carried out a fairly extensive study through the 1940s on how best to interact with Nazis. If memory serves, fire was indeed involved, but iirc in a context other than employment status.

In all fairness, that data is quite outdated at this point: I think it’s long past due to engage in some peer review.

Seems to be a division here based on the (ex)Trumpanzee’s sincerity vs not.

My thought is who gives a shit if they’re sincere? The goal isn’t to convert them, it’s to defeat Trump and people like Trump - if a former Trump voter can be used against him, I have no issues at all with at least pretending to accept that that person is having an authentic denazification. Whether or not they’re truly capable of self reflection is kinda moot

That’s why I haven’t mentioned it until now, but at this point I’m 100% sure I was never being considered for his case. That or I was axed early on without notification.

I actually got jury summons for federal court a month or so ago. I was fucking pumped that I might get to be the guy that convinced the rest of the jury to nullify.

Haven’t heard anything since completing the first steps as directed, so, guessing I’m not part of his juror pool. :-/

On the flip side, titles like this will help people to not forget.

I’m pretty sure it started with some chick named Mary cheating on her spouse, and then “Uh, no, it’s uh, it’s… MAGIC! Yeah, I got pregnant from magic! But the magic was a person you see, named uhm, looks over at pet dog, named do- uh no, g-o-d, his name was God! God gave us a magic baby! Yay!”

The American Dream is still going strong; it’s just the contents of the dream that have changed. Currently the dream is to get the fuck out of the US and into somewhere less dystopian.

Easy to assume malice when we’re surrounded by it irl. I do that shit all the time too… we’re all just fed up and exhausted.

Weird thing for a Nazi to say.

Now that’s a testable hypothesis!

*clicks pen*

…you sure? I think he’d make decent fertilizer.

Star Wars is a long cycle of really really really cool concepts and really really really shit execution of putting those concepts on screen. People have disliked pretty much every iteration of SW for some reason or another, and it’s usually defensible. Boils down to suspension of disbelief and ‘to each their own’

I grew up kinda between the originals and prequels, and often found the originals were paced too slow and the whole ewok thing stood out as stupid as fuck even to my 8-ish year old brain; but there was more to like than dislike, so I was fan overall.

Then the prequels come out. Jar Jar used to be what killed it for me, but then the ‘darth’ Jar Jar fan theory came out, and if you watch his character through that lens it’s not quite as bad. I’m 100% sold on that being the original intent with Jar Jar, but then they backed off after so many people fucking hated him in Ep1, and just left him alone as a bumbling idiot and nothing more.

Then the sequels came out and the writing was absolute shit. SW followed that trend for a while, kinda felt like the franchise was dead in the water, existing only as a cash grab… until Rogue One came out, and then Andor, which are both fucking masterpieces.

Oklahoma wants to teach–

Yeah I’m gonna stop you right there. Teaching isn’t really one of Oklahoma’s priorities, lol.

That’s not what the previous poster said though, nor is that what ‘keen’ means.

I’m especially keen for someone to step up and do the deed, but that has nothing to do with my enjoyment, and goes way beyond just the morality of what’s happening (although that part of the situation is also fucked). But no, my country is under attack, and I want that attack to stop. And in every thread like this one where we express frustration with the people whose job is to stop the attack just standing idle and letting it happen; some jackass always chimes in with “well why don’t you do it??” as though it’s hypocritical to tell people to do their job. It’s not.

Plenty of reasons to ask others to risk their lives without being willing to risk your own.

At the most basic level, that’s how specializations work: do you whip out your own drill when your tooth hurts? Or do you ask someone with the means and expertise to get the job done to do it for you?

If you’re a US tax payer, then you’re actively paying a shit ton of people to risk their lives on your behalf. All of those people swore an oath to defend the Constitution from all threats foreign and domestic - they are literally oath bound to engage Donald Trump the same way they do any other enemy of the US. Why shouldn’t we ask those people to do their fucking job?

The 2nd Amendment is a last-ditch effort kind of thing, but the longer we get nothing but crickets from the previous paragraph the more relevant it becomes. Fortunately (in this very specific context at least) the US is stuffed with absolute enthusiasts for the 2nd Amendment - why condemn someone for asking one of those people to act on their passion? These fuckers’ wet dream is to swoop in with their trusty ol’ boom stick and make themselves a national hero by slaying a home-grown tyrant. So go on, Cletus: make us proud ya wraskly ol’ cowboy!

In any case, we have a fuck ton of people either obligated or enthused to be the one to single-handedly step up and solve the Trump problem. As someone who’s neither obligated nor enthused, I don’t see any issue with calling on either of those two crowds to put their money where their mouth is, knowing full well that I’m not personally willing to risk my own life or freedom.

You mean North Mexico?
