More then one noose: neese?

@chanon
That's so true! Even with the fake noose! They both had fake nooses!

Was J6 Trumped up for effect, so to speak? Was J6 an insurrection? Sedition? If there are ANY guns at all, maybe, in a country with over 400 million of them. That's a start. NO fires, NO smoke, NO Molotovs, no actual police who died on-site, day of. Just some suicides, strokes, and heart attacks. A little smeared shit. Just my humble opinion. Remember Ashli Babbitt ;) Naw, it was totes a coup. Insurrection-city, baby!

Sigh.

Is this border bill for Ukraine's border, Israel's border, or the USA Southern border?

Mea maxima culpa but I am never going to stop saying stuff in order to start uncomfortable conversations.

Thanks for engaging and for your thoughtful response.

@freemo but you're right: we only killed 500,000 enemy combatants; the rest were secondary results from destroying systems, economies, governments, and all the economic sanctions, etc--secondary effects. More like the Holodomor Bloodlands than a systematic genocide. Yay, America!

I also think that's the model number of my laptop's SSD.

I hate Samantha Power more then any other human in Earth. She is a bringer of war and death. She is The Genocider.

It's nothing to do with Dr King! It's about clout! So many people who the left admire talk so much about how proud they are about marching in Selma or protesting the Vietnam war, etc etc, so bouncing baby leftists are just experiencing FOMO and making protest memories so that they can tell their grandbabies "I was there! I was there for change"

It's all about FOMO. Or, fear of missing the next Selma moment, or missing the next diner sit in, etc...

Everyone is a Fed. Americans in the Right don't have a culture of "I really want to have been there marching with Dr King but I'll do it this time" ethos so there aren't enough Street Nazis to keep the FBI in Full Funding so they need to fill the vacuum with all the Fit Fed Nazis, which are probably JSOC kids in training. Fun! #6weekCycle

Is your democracy ideal ideological or actual democracy where the people can vote and the chips fall where they may? Is your democracy code/euphemism or fact?

We're so lucky here in America: the Media only reports right wing extremism. That must mean that there's no left wing extremism in the USA. We, we've only got half the possible extremism! Score!

The Media's hedging their bets by not adding "disgraced" to every mention of the former president. Telling.
