  • Larry Bushart, the name in the screenshot. Ex-cop too. They said that it was a threat to shoot up a school because he quoted Trump saying to get over a school shooting and that it [obviously Trump’s comment as applicable to not mourning CK, and not advocating for shooting people] was relevant today.

    I’m glad that the ceasefire happened. I don’t know how involved Trump was and I don’t know how much of Biden’s negotiated ceasefire plan was used.

    But even if you only look at the one accomplishment, María Corina Machado objectively did more for her cause and risked far more.

    But also, it’d be pretty fucked up to celebrate a guy that continues to bomb civilian boats and torture random immigrants.


  • Bleeding heart just means that they’re too caring. As in, the type to give handouts and hug trees. But I haven’t heard that in forever. I think it’s been switched out for socialists.

    Not sure if I agree on the other two. They are definitely coopted for political gain. But I don’t know that it changes the base term. When they say “woke mob”, I don’t hear an implication that it’s disingenuous.

    Virtue signaling definitely applies though.

    I do find it ironic that liberals (people who just want to live their lives and not impede on others, not the politicians) give the least amount of fucks. They don’t give a fuck if gays marry, but they also don’t give a fuck if they’re not allowed to (assuming it doesn’t impact them).


  • And that’s why they blame teachers for guilting kids when teaching history. Because they told their kids that it’s core to their identity.

    But also, if they admit that their great, great, grandpa fought to take away their state right to choose whether rich assholes could own other people (also giving them an unfair advantage over poorer farmers), they’d have to admit that their ancestry was being really fucking stupid tools.









  • The wild justifications for defending his ousting is more telling than anything.

    Like, literally quoting him saying he supports free speech. But hate speech should not be condoned. Still true.

    The sensationalist headlines which have lied about him talking about Charlie Kirk in any capacity, rather than Charlie Kirk simply being tangentially related.

    The comparison to people being fired for actual hate speech targeting people, usually after given multiple chances to stop inciting harassment and violence.

    Reminding everyone that he lampooned blackface.

    Reminding everyone that he was on The Man Show.

    They used a lot of time and energy on some words and a video that were in no way controversial.
