Just a reminder that Obama won a Peace Prize for essentially being black and it was a huge embarrassment at the time. Henry Kissinger won the Peace Prize for fuck sake. Giving one of them to Trump would do nothing to harm the prestige or honor from that dubious award.

I support this. Doing executions in secret only serves to protect capital punishment supporters and prison officials from discomfort and pain. America should have to look at what it’s done.

The largest outbreak since the disease was eliminated is like the largest attack since the ceasefire started. Both are real headlines that I’ve seen this year.

She’s been hanging around politicians her whole life, of course she’s comfortable begging rich people for money. The important thing to remember is never vote for a politician who’s been associated with her. Even if it was years ago.

Tax relief to soften the impact of high fuel costs is pretty normal government thing. Is why tax-free diesel exists in the first place. Trump’s mistake was causing the high gas prices.

It’s interesting to see Trump floundering on what he thinks will be popular among voters. Doing things that help Americans is an afterthought, he’s scrambling like a failing student for extra credit ahead of the Final.

CSPAN is going to have to hire an interpreter so they can broadcast his speeches in English. Dude sounds like a drunk Foghorn Leghorn.

Symbols are for the symbol minded. I care about fascist policy, not iconography. He could stand in front of a bust of Hitler for all I care just so long as he stops murdering fisherman, Iranian kids, and heroic drug smugglers.

The only qualification a voter needs is to be subject to the authority of the State. Any other calls to “qualify” voters is voter suppression. It’s VoterID, Poll taxes, and Literacy tests.

If a voter decides on a candidate because Mars is in retrograde, that’s just as legitimate as the vote of the head of the political science department. low information voter = anti-democracy. If you can exclude them because their stupid, then you can exclude them for being black or a woman too. You can whittle it down until you get the utopia of the superior, or fascism as it’s commonly known.

If your system requires improved and enlightened humanity, then your system is tyrannical and sucks.

Students are citizens with rights. But rules about profanity are reasonable measures for good discipline.

If a student wore a You Can’t Lick Our Dick button to class, what teacher do?

rest more comfortably knowing that if there’s a hell

The problem with hell is it undermines all that Christian rot about forgiveness, pacifism, and kindness. Jesus isn’t just a God of redemption, he’s a God of infinite punishment and never-ending vengeance. And Hastert can absolutely accept Jesus and get a ticket to ride. The Holocaust Jews on the other hand, not so lucky. When I realized that all those Jews went straight from Hitler’s oven into Jesus’ oven, it permanently damaged my faith.

Because prediction markets gambling companies have a marketing strategy where they sponsor news outlets in exchange for reporting the predictions to feign legitimacy. CNN is probably the worst, but it’s everywhere.

This is the silver lining of competing with conservatives. Their ideas are bad and don’t work.

What would happen if a Republican realized that racism is identity politics?

Age limits in Congress are popular among Americans

Well, who’s reelecting him then, Canadians? Do Americans believe that incumbents have an advantage because voters are too stupid to choose? Maybe the problem here isn’t the voters but the systems that have been built by the political machine? Why is it popular for American voters to want to limit their own power?

For every complex problem there is a solution that’s simple, elegant, easy to understand and wrong. Age/ Term limits make perfect sense, unless you think about them.

The worst part about Windows Update is when it functions as intended. They’re going to re-install Edge, turn OneDrive back on, and shove Copilot into Explorer, Notepad, and Paint.

This is all for your security.

Elections were supposed to be an education population making an educated decision on who should lead

No. Being subject to the authority of the State is what entitles a citizen to vote. Any other standard to qualify a voter is voter suppression and anti-democratic. What you’re talking about is Voter ID, Pole Taxes, and Literacy Tests.

If you’re a good Linux user and keep your packages up to date; always say GuhNome; and trash M$ every chance you get, you’ll be given an .iso in the afterlife with the perfect distro. But not before.

Libertarian in America just means a Republican who smokes dope and skips church.

I’m not a conspiracy guy, but if a billionaire invented a political philosophy that benefited himself, it’d look a whole lot like American libertarianism.

Their are valid criticisms of “human rights”, and legitimate reasons to reject the concept. The biggest reason is the concept of ‘human rights’ is just a re-tread of the ‘rights of kings’, that is a justification for State violence.

When the cops crack your skull, they’re protecting property rights. When the US invaded Iraq, Bush said we were protecting the freedom and human rights of Iraqi citizens. The invasion of Ukraine was justified as protecting the rights of ethnic Russians living in Ukraine.

The idea that “human rights” protect human beings is pretty dubious.

Chem-trails are like space-lasers, they’re so stupid, they wouldn’t even work if they were real.

If you’ve ever noticed that industrial buildings use tall smoke stacks, you know why. It’s because that smoke dispersed into the atmosphere @ 50m will be diluted to safe(er/ish) levels by the time it reaches ground level.

Now if you’re trying to release a pathogen or a drug, doing so at 19,000m is the kind of stupid that wears a helmet to watch TV.
