SOMEONE in Beijing certainly has their undies in a bunch.

This is the new Russo-sino action movie “Farting Rino and paper dragon”

A cult is never ever a positive thing as it entails blind loyalty not to an idea or an ethos, but to the leader regardless of facts, morals or outcomes.

only a cultist would ascribe positive connotations to a cult.

Bob really needs to hang for this. In leu of that, he needs to spend many years in prison.

And there in lies the difference between Democrats and the cult that the Republican “party” has become.

Pay them more and stop sexually harassing women recruits.

DEI will be that company’s biggest downfall.

Not clue one what you’re talking about (as per usual) regardless of what your relative with the ppl says.

He’s dead-man squawking and deservedly so.

He’s given Liz Truss a run for her money in the feckless department.

Bite me, Russia. We can coordinate with whomever we see fit.

The worst part of Biden’s performance was that it took the focus off the felon’s fire hose of lies.

He didn’t answer questions and he lied every time he moved his lips.

But that will be lost in the shuffle because every non-cultist knows that Trump is a liar and because Biden did so poorly.

I think Biden has been a good president, but that was an unadulterated disaster. It was awful.

Anyone who says otherwise is just not living in this reality.

The better part of a week in solid prep using rules his team negotiated and in a debate he asked for and he does the ONE thing he couldn’t do: appear doddering.

I like Joe and I will always think he did a great job domestically and internationally. But I love democracy more.

He has to step aside because the consequences for America and the world of a sociopath in the Oval Office a second time are just too terrible to contemplate.

It’s ironic that an old rich sleaze-bag like this might lead to better civil rights in Japan.

But Miranda was a career criminal and that scumbag ensured that all criminal defendants are made aware of their civil rights, so….

After 2008 (did I get the year right?) when “Imadinnerjacket” objectively lost but stayed in power with the support of the clerics and the thuggery of the IRG, why would anyone care who wins?

It’s democracy in name only. It’s a theocracy enforced by an organized crime group that also engages in terrorism on the side.

In light of this:

Why do we have locks? They don’t work?

I especially like the fact that of the crap wall that Bannon did build (that didn’t collapse into the river) when he wasn’t defrauding the golmers dumb enough to donate (cough cough) it was notable for HAVING AN UNLOCKED GATE ALLOWING ACCES TO PUBLIC LAND.

And without building a pointless wall or sending the military on a photo-op no less.

So why do we have fences? Why do we have locks? They don’t work? Castles and government buildings have walls and fences, why are they needed, if they don’t work then DC doesn’t need a fence as well. I mean, they are useless as you say.

Golly, you should ask the mongols how effective a massive wall with no support structure in the middle of nowhere worked.

He didn’t build it. It didn’t work. The Mexicans sure as hell didn’t pay for it.

And yet his goober rubes eat it up.

And without building a pointless wall or sending the military on a photo-op no less.

İf at first you don’t succeed, fail fail again DORK version!

He’s not a journalist. He’s a narcissistic anarcist.

Should have gotten some time in Federal prison.

When credibly accused of rape, he did what the guilty and the cowardly do; he ran away rather than stand in the dock and clear his name.

The idea that guns, in the aggregate save more lives in self-defense than they take in violent crime is just laughably false even discounting deaths by suicide.

Even removing self-harm as a proximate trigger, 14,000+ Americans died last year from gun violence. There is zero evidence, none, zip.zilch that anything like that number were “saved”.

It’s a fool’s idea of an “argument”.

they are the most common form of suicide in the United States.

Yeah, because guns are the only way that a suicidal person will take his own life. And people don't commit suicides in countries with strict gun laws.

And people without access to guns in that moment are less likely to commit suicide Because the required planning and frankly the misnomer that suicide by a gun is always quick and painless makes it an easy choice for those caught in a bad moment where if they had more time, they might reconsider and or seek help.

people owning guns for home defense kill family members by mistake far more often than they ward off home invasions.

That's not on the guns. With great power comes great responsibility, and a few irresponsible gun owners should not be made an example to prove points.

And yet, by and large they don’t exercise responsibility. They just shoot dad coming home from one too many drinks at the pub or jr. sneaking in a window after curfew so he won’t get caught.

the number of actual documented uses of guns in self-defense number in the low hundreds per year.

Probably because no one messes with gun owners in the first place. Better to have one and not need it than to need one and not have it.

More likely because that is a fiction created by the NRA to gin up fear of the invading hordes. The fact is, there is no evidence to support that narrative.

Guns save more lives than they take. All the victims were probably not taking advantage of Nevada's open carry laws.

This is objectively, laughably, provably false.

In addition to mass shootings and crimes committed with guns, they are the most common form of suicide in the United States.

Moreover, people owning guns for home defense kill family members by mistake far more often than they ward off home invasions.

Add it all up and 40,167 Americans dies from guns in 2023 and that number was with 3 weeks left in the year.

On the other hand, the number of actual documented uses of guns in self-defense number in the low hundreds per year.

Then what did you mean by your comment seemingly blaming the shooter not the gun?

did you slip and mess up the standard approved narrative?

Mental illness cannot be legislated. Guns can.

(almost) Any sentient being can grasp this including the 80% of Americans who want stricter regulations on guns.

Why are minority areas more prone to crime and violence?

And there you have straight from the MAGA mouth itself. “It’s all the minorities’ fault.”

Then try again next week, very simple !

If at first you don’t succeed, fail again or blame someone else!

And yet some deem the classification of gun violence as a public health emergency to be “idiotic.”

Yeah, that aged well.

ATC said neither “Hold short” nor “Line up and wait”. This is my understanding.

While it’s true that ATC could have been more specific, my understanding is that when a pilot is cleared to an intersection, they are not cleared farther without a subsequent instruction.

So this is primarily pilot error, but there could be contributing factors as well.

Anyone who thinks 1991 borders are going to happen has been drinking too much lemonade.

Anyone who thinks the Russians are just going to keep the spoils of their war crimes should go back to drinking lemonade.

People wanting Ukraine to keep fighting an unnecessary proxy war and keep dying just for their narratives sure are getting sensitive and emotional when called out for such.

Repeating this lie over and over doesn’t make it true.

And the vast majority of non-cult of America supports funding Ukraine as does Europe. As do the vast majority of Ukrainians.

It’s only Putin-pounders that want to give in to a Perry thug.

I remember when bending over for fascists wasn’t NOT part of Republican orthodoxy.

At his second confirmation hearing, he told senators that declaring guns a public health crisis would not be his focus during a new term.

so he lied.

Kind of like every single one of Trump’s SCOTUS appointments except wait…..

He didn’t say he wouldn’t do it.

So it was just the SCOTUS appointments that committed perjury under oath.

Oops.

What’s idiotic is idiots thinking that this level of death is normal and that there’s nothing wrong with it because FREEDUMB!!!

Thats idiotic.
