Yes or no: Do you believe the government should have the legal right to compel any privately owned interactive web service into hosting legally protected speech that the owners/operators of said service don’t want to host? Remember that racial slurs, anti-queer propaganda, and anything praising Tommy Wiseau as an avant-garde filmmaker despite all evidence to the contrary is considered legally protected speech.
The best Satanists do good works while exposing conservative Christian hypocrisy towards religious freedom. They may be trolls, but goddammit, they’re my kind of trolls!
They never cite exactly what speech caused those conservatives to get the boot, either. Says a lot when they say nothing about what someone said to get banned.
Sometimes the only way to get a lawmaker’s attention is to show them the legal-yet-awful consequences of the bullshit laws they pass. Doesn’t always work, but it’s easier than taking out a loan from Tony Kneebreaker to bribe ’em.
I have zero intention to do anything on behalf of the idiot anti-vax blowhards.
You’re shittalking mask mandates like they do. For someone who says they’re not on the side of plague enthusiasts, you’re certainly spreading their bullshit like you are.
Do the trans military ban, the Muslim travel bans, the concentration camps on the southern border, the wrecked relationships with foreign allies, the cozying up to fascists, the further sinking Congress into partisan bullshit, the inspiring a cult of personality to protest a free and fair election based on an objective lie backed by no evidence, the refusal to unequivocally condemn racists and racial violence, the refusal to condemn police brutality, the mocking and shittalking of peaceful protests against police brutality, the insulting of lawmakers like a petty playground bully, the attempts to repeal Obamacare, the refusal to condemn anti-queer bigotry, the refusal to stand up for the rights of queer people domestically and internationally, and the hundreds of thousands of avoidable COVID deaths count as positives for you, too?
Yeah, and if you think rising sea levels had nothing at all to do with that, you’re deluding yourself. Oceanfront property in Florida is fucked and there’s little anyone can do about it except sell their shit to Aquaman or Namor or Mister Nimbus.
Also note that vaccination is not perfect, and you could still become a carrier of covid,
That’s why a lot of people are still wearing masks: They don’t want to become plague vectors like the ratlickers who think their “freedom” to infect others with a deadly disease is more important than other people’s lives.
Nobody asked! Nobody legislated, it was just chest thumping mandates
Local and state governments mandated masks because they knew a bunch of Americans would sooner accept Scarlett Johansson as the next Black Panther than they would a request to act in the best interests of public health. Turns out, they were right.
Trump promised to show off a replacement plan for Obamacare multiple times during his presidency. Don’t blame others for his failure to back up the shit he talked.
A chicken which will come home to roost once Miami gets flooded.
Pretty sure we’ve seen a sneak preview of that particular outcome from that building collapse last week. That wasn’t an earthquake or a bomb — that was the inevitable march of the rising sea upon the land we take for granted.
Seriously, wearing a mask is the “putting pants on in the morning” of public health — literally the bare minimum anyone needs to do to protect others — and people are still mad that they were asked to think about other people for once? Jesus, we’ve fucked up this whole society thing.
That’s not being against masks, mind you, that being against mask mandates.
That distinction is largely without a difference in regards to people who think mask mandates, even ones that aren’t enforced by law, are a step towards a new Holocaust. (Hi there, Marjorie Three-Names!) And Trump himself set the example for mask-wearing amongst the members of his cult of personality by adamantly refusing to wear masks, and mocking people who wore masks, for months.
I get that you think Trump is a demigod and all, but Jesus H. Christ, Lodos, get off his dick already.
Someone being popular doesn’t — and shouldn’t — make them wholly immune from the rules of a given service. Anyone who violates the rules should receive the proper punishment, be they a rando with an anime avatar or a sitting president.
I’ve better things to do, so this is the last reply I have for you.
The basis of the though is racism is built into the current subconscious thought of existence. As such, all are racist even if they don’t know it.
It isn’t saying that people are inherently racist. It’s saying that systems within the United States are inherently racist. The best example comes from that article from The Root I shared earlier:
Take something as simple as college admission, for instance. People who “don’t see color” insist that we should only use neutral, merit-based metrics such as SAT scores and grades. However, Critical Race Theory acknowledges that SAT scores are influenced by socioeconomic status, access to resources and school quality. It suggests that colleges can’t accurately judge a student’s ability to succeed unless they consider the effects of the racial wealth gap, redlining, and race-based school inequality. Without this kind of holistic approach, admissions assessments will always favor white people.
CRT doesn’t just say this is racist, it explains why these kinds of race-neutral assessments are bad at assessing things. …
White people’s kids are more likely to get into college using a racist admissions system. But the system has been around so long that it has become ordinary. So ordinary, in fact, that we actually think SAT scores mean shit. And white people uphold the racist college admissions system—not because they don’t want Black kids to go to college—because they don’t want to change admission policies that benefit white kids.
CRT doesn’t say “white people are inherently racist”. It says “the systems we have in the United States are inherently racist because they were initially designed, and still continue, to benefit white people”. CRT is about looking at these systems through a lens of race so we can figure out how to best solve the problem of — wait for it — systemic racism.

Not a direct quote from the project itself. Nice try.
The difference between Trump and the presidents of the past was he placed people based on his perception of their skill regardless of their gender or sexual alignments.
And if you truly believe that, I have a bridge in the Sahara to sell you.
He wanted to solidify gender separation.
No, he didn’t. He wanted to kick trans people out of the military. His ban on trans people serving in the military was literally meant to ban trans people from serving in the military.
hydroxychloroquine was initially reviewed as a possibility
And it was found, in short order, to not be an effective treatment for COVID-19. Trump and his acolytes continued to push the drug as an effective treatment anyway.
With a true vaccination available most (all?) studies have closed on HC.
If you got the vaccination it doesn’t matter if someone else didn’t. You’re safe.
And I’d prefer to help keep things that way for everyone, which is why I’ll still be wearing a mask when I’m out in public. Don’t like it? Shoot me.
Republicans presented perfectly legal objections and questioned the election.
Their objections being legal didn’t make their objections credible — and without any credible evidence that the 2020 presidential election was “stolen” in some way (which no one to date has provided), their objections were, are, and always will be bullshit.
there was no insurrection.
An angry mob stormed the citadel of American democracy. They chanted “hang Mike Pence” while a makeshift hangman’s gallows waited outside. They went through the building looking for lawmakers to intimidate (or, given how some of the rioters were carrying plastic wrist cuffs, harm with physical violence). Several police officers suffered harm at the hands of rioters who were either armed or found weapons to use during the riot. One woman who was unwilling to back off from her “peaceful” attempt to enter a spot where lawmakers were being kept safe died because of her own selfish idiocy.
The whole point of the riot was, at a bare minimum, to intimidate lawmakers into ignoring the results of a free and fair election so Donald Trump could stay president. That they failed at their goal doesn’t make their Capitol putsch any less of one.
Don’t try to whitewash the insurrection again, Lodos. I’ve seen the videos of police officers being assaulted. I’ve heard the chants of “hang Mike Pence”. I know what they were trying to do that day, and it sure as fucking hell wasn’t “give lawmakers a handshake for doing their job”.
Do all laws have to wait for the crime first?
We already have laws against fradulent voting. Hell, a few Republican voters have been dinged by those laws for their fraudulent votes in the 2020 election. If the fraud these new laws are intended to prevent doesn’t exist, for what reason do we need the new laws?
The reality is most white suprematists are Christians. There pro-Christian party is the Republican Party. That doesn’t equate to Republicans are white suprematists.
And again, I didn’t say the GOP as a party are a bunch of white supremacists. I said the GOP, as a party, is on the side of white supremacy — whether Republicans like it or not — because their platform and their political language plays to the grievances of its broadest voting base (e.g., white conservative Christian men). That the grievance politics of modern American conservatism plays into the hands of white supremacists is more telling than the GOP (or you) wants to let on.
The green new deal is based on the hypothesis of man-made global warming. And strives to teach the target goals regardless of the results to human life.
Much of the progressive plan places the burden of the do nots, not the can nots, on the backs of the dos.
You’re upset because the people who can afford to pay higher taxes are being asked to pay higher tax rates — even when they don’t — than the people who can’t afford to pay those same rates?
A family of 4 making $100,000 a year shouldn’t be forking over $34000
Eh, depends on how much they have in the stock market and other investments. Take-home income isn’t all income.
Why should a person pay more money for being successful?
To invest in others.
A dude who makes a billion dollars a year could sit on all that money, sure. Maybe some small fraction of it might actually go back into the economy. But if that dude were to instead invest that money into raising the wages for everyone who works beneath him, he’d be helping the economy even more than if he sat on that money. Why? Because those people will spend most of that money.
And if the dude makes half a billion the next year, so what? He will still be able to live more comfortably for the rest of his life than will a single mother of two who is crying her eyes out at 3am in the morning as she looks over the bills she can barely afford to pay on her two full-time minimum wage salaries.
I support a flat tax rate on all. Not a progressive, scaling rate.
Of course you do. But you’ve never thought about it in-depth, have you?
One person makes $20,000 a year. Another makes $2 million a year. Under a flat tax rate, both would have to pay 10% of their income every year. That comes out to $200,000 for the millionaire and $2,000 for the poor person. And I know what you’re saying: “Oh, that sounds fair.”
But $2,000 means a lot more to that poor person than $200,000 could mean to the millionaire because of the law of diminishing utility. The poor person might need that $2,000 for a medical emergency, or a car repair, or some other necessity that — if not taken care of — will expound their poverty even worse. The millionaire can afford to lose $200,000 and still live in far more comfort than the poor person because they have a much larger buffer between themselves and, say, living on the street.
A flat tax has no credible appeal when you consider how it would make poor people give up more of the money they need to literally survive in this wretched society and rich people would complain about how they couldn’t buy a second BMW because of taxes. So of course conservatives think it’s a good idea — after all, fewer poor people is always a good thing in their eyes, because conservatives always view poverty as a moral failing rather than a societal one.
I have yet to find much of her Congressional practice worth supporting. So yes. Admitted.
Get some sunlight, you racist, cisgendered, patriarch-propagating misogynistic pig.
I see you can single issue as well.
I care about a lot of issues. That the current SCOTUS was all but designed by Republicans to do away with a woman’s right to have an abortion if she so chooses — to force women to give birth, even if the child is conceived by rape or incest — is one of them.
Well aren’t just the most sociopathic libertarian I’ve ever come across, to refer to groups of people in such detached and heartless terms. Are you sure you’re not a Republican? Because you sound like one.
Just like Obama did previously and Biden does today.
They didn’t try to turn those detention centers into concentration camps. Trump did. And yes, I’m critical of how Obama handled, and Biden is currently handling, the immigration issue. What they’re doing isn’t ideal, and we need a better system. But at least they’re trying to be humane about it, compared with the “fuck ’em all” attitude of the Trump administration.
only in the earliest stage to prevent mass panic
No, he denied the pandemic was a pandemic a month into the pandemic. That was the point where he and his administration could’ve been working overtime to stop the pandemic from spreading like wildfire, and he brushed it off with a simple “it’ll go away” declaration. The infamous “lost month” of the pandemic could’ve maybe saved thousands of lives if it hadn’t been “lost” due to the Trump administration dragging its heels on even admitting the pandemic was a pandemic.
Who a) demanded masking which may be unconstitutional, b) supporting researching all potentials for medicinal treatments, c) not trying to decimate the economy with knee-jerk reactions.
And how’d all that work out? Mask mandates were allowed to stand, several people died because they thought they were drinking “miracle cure” chemicals that weren’t, and the economy was decimated anyway as shutdowns occured to prevent the pandemic from taking even more lives than it has. Seems like if Trump had listened to, relied on, and encouraged his followers to listen to actual experts with actual knowledge of actual science and actual expertise in their fields instead of a bunch of quacks and Mike Lindell, maybe the impact of the pandemic would’ve been lessened. But Trump belongs to the anti-science, pro-“freedom” party — the same party that, like Trump, loves uneducated white people who are so brainwashed on right-wing media that “science” is a four-letter word.
You mean not toe the line and pretend to be nice in public?
I want a president who at least tries to be diplomatic. Trump insulted anyone who so much as looked at him funny. (Unless it was Vladimir Putin, in which case Trump probably had a good fap later.)
Not everyone there defending the statues etc was a white nationalist.
They were marching on the side of white nationalists and in defense of monuments to men who betrayed the country in favor of upholding the institution of slavery. Even if they weren’t holding the exact same beliefs as the racists, those supposedly “very fine people” were in the company of racists that day. How “fine” could they really have been if they were marching for the cause of racism?
Yes. Rightfully. To restore order in the wake of violence, looting, rioting, the burning of businesses. Yes.
And if you think sending active-duty members of the military into American cities was a good idea, for any reason, you’re dumber than he was. Thank God he was talked out of it by people who knew better than to send men trained in the art of war into American cities armed with live ammo and an “everyone is an enemy” mindset.
He offered a solution. Stricter punishment for violations of law.
[citation needed]
And even if he offered that solution, how hard did he push for it — or was that another part of his infamous “infrastructure week”?
Get your facts straight. He had always stood for repeal-and-replace.
I’m well aware of that. But to replace, he needed two things: The repeal of Obamacare and an actual replacement plan. Neither he nor the GOP ever had a replacement plan ready at any point in his presidency, so he could only ever repeal Obamacare and set American healthcare back a decade.
A movement, that was incorrect, started by Obama’s own press team some time earlier.
he said he was wrong when he was shown proof, a birth certificate
No, he didn’t. He never admitted he was wrong, and it took him years after the reveal of the long-form birth certificate to even say “Obama was born in Hawaii”, and he never — NEVER — apologized for his role in instigating and propagating that racist conspiracy theory. Find direct and exact quotes from Trump that prove all three of those points wrong, and I’ll concede the point. (You won’t, but I wish you luck in trying.)
By asking for recounts.
He asked Georgia election officials to “find” enough votes to overturn the gap in votes between himself and Biden. (That was more than 11,000 votes, by the by.) He didn’t want to legally challenge the results — he wanted them overthrown because he couldn’t stand the idea that he lost the election.
In context, find the missing votes.
Trump thinking more than 11,000 votes were missing doesn’t mean they were. And to date, nobody (including Trump himself) has presented credible evidence that a significant fraction of the votes he wanted “found” for him were missing.
I’m content in my choices.
Of course you are, you fuckin’ sociopath. You don’t care how much other people suffer so long as you’re content with voting for the suffering of people you hate.

Trump thinking more than 11,000 votes were missing doesn’t mean they were. And to date, nobody (including Trump himself) has presented credible evidence that a significant fraction of the votes he wanted “found” for him were missing.
Of course you are, you fuckin’ sociopath. You don’t care how much other people suffer so long as you’re content with voting for the suffering of people you hate.
Fuck off.
