    He thinks he’s talking to conservatives, playing on their “thin blue line” sympathies. But like every other rank-and-file Democrat, he has failed to read the fucking room. The right-wing in America showed us on January 6th 2021 that their support of law enforcement is purely conditional, and will be revoked the minute they don’t get their way. And the Left? We always hated cops.

    His message reached zero people.


  • Check out this YouTube channel from Dan McClellan. He’s a biblical scholar with a Bachelor’s (BA) in Near East Studies from Brigham Young University with a minor in Classical Greek, a Master’s (MSt) in Jewish Studies from Oxford, a Master’s (MA) in Biblical Studies from Trinity Western University, and a Doctorate (PhD) in Theology and Religion from the University of Exeter.

    He’s gotten kind of popular over the past couple of years debunking religious nuts on TikTok, but he’s got a lot of very informative videos on the Bible and biblical history, what certain books or passages were actually talking about, and so on. He presents things in a clear and understandable way, without fluff or editorializing. I can’t recommend him enough.



  • I have some genuine questions for you.

    Do you think men go through months (or years) of hormone therapy, potentially go through sex reassignment surgery, buy thousands of dollars worth of women’s clothing and makeup and accessories, get their name legally changed and all their legal documents replaced, and subject themselves to being bullied from every angle including from the state, just to get a peek at a woman’s naughty bits in a public bathroom?

    If a sign on a door works to keep trans women out of women’s bathrooms, do “gun free zone” signs work to keep shooters out of schools? Do you think the people who don’t care about laws against sexual assault care about bathroom laws?

    The bottom line is this: Men already generally don’t go in the women’s bathroom. The men who want to assault women aren’t going to upend their entire life by pretending to be a woman just to gain entry to a bathroom, and they certainly aren’t going to care about a sign on a door. They’ll just assault women as they have been doing since the dawn of time, no skirt and matching heels necessary.



  • “How Do You Sleep At Night?”

    Like a fuckin’ baby.

    The thing about psychopaths is that they don’t feel empathy, shame, or remorse. The shit that keeps you up at night, the suffering and destruction and genocide, that’s all just white noise to these soulless fucking ghouls. Might as well be rain forest sounds or ocean waves crashing on a beach. It’s all the same to him. John Fetterman doesn’t give a single flying fuck about Palestinians being slaughtered. Hell, he doesn’t even really care about Jews. John Fetterman cares about John Fetterman, and nobody else. The only reason he supports Israel is because that’s what’s good for John Fetterman.

    By all means, call him out in public. It could damage his image and cost him support, and that’s a good thing. But it won’t cause him to grow a conscience. That ship sailed a long time ago.



  • This is the “public vs private healthcare” debate all over again. You can draw a diagram with crayons proving without a doubt that free public healthcare is cheaper than having to pay higher premiums because poor people use the ER as their primary care and then skip out on the bills, and they still won’t get it, because they’ve been so propagandized by late-stage Capitalism that they actually believe “what’s good for the billionaire is good for me.”

    I’ve had these arguments countless times with people. Here’s how it goes every single time:

    Them: “Why should I have to pay an extra $X a year to provide [SERVICE] for other people?”
    Me: “Because the data shows that this will lead to better outcomes overall, which in turn leads to fewer people on public assistance, saving you far more than $X a year, resulting in a net gain on your part. Here’s the data, look for yourself.”
    Them: “Fuck that. I don’t want poor people getting free shit!”

    As long as half of the working class has billionaire Stockholm syndrome, this will not change.













  • She had her chance, she’s extremely unlikely to get another one.

    She had two chances. Her first one was an abysmal failure. If she had any sense, she would’ve learned then and there that her own party doesn’t even like her. And the only reason she got a second chance was because the DNC handed it to her on a silver platter. I get why they opted out of having another primary so late in the game, but she was the absolute worst choice they could’ve made.

    This poll may as well have just asked people “which of these names do you recognize?”, because that’s really all it tells us.

    EDIT: It just hit me that you meant she had her chance as the nominee. I’m dumb.
