You’d have to be pretty dumb to vote for or endorse trump in 2016 but at least back then the excuse of “I didn’t know it would be like this” makes sense.

Sure, he’s worse this term, but you know what he was when you supported him this time.

Christmas Day would be the ultimate present. Oh you don’t like us celebrating on the day he died?? Who’s waging a war on Christmas now?

Yeah… The idea that its just a couple of guys joking falls apart when one of them was convicted for the crime they’re joking about…

Dude just say its because you’re white

What a fucking insane take. Also, their concern about immigration is wacky as fuck too. ‘The ones I know are great but we can’t let them in because we don’t know them’. What does that even mean?

Also, what are you worried about illegal immigrants doing? If you can excuse raping kids, what line could you be afraid of them crossing? Or do you just need to be a white American to rape kids, otherwise its a bad thing?

The logic is honest to god fascinating. The example people give for who deserves the death penalty is usually a child predator. If you can include that in the ‘just human nature’ category, what are humans capable of that would be outside of their nature?

Eat shit and die

Is it a big deal? I have no idea. It’s just one of those details that you hear and you’re like, “Yeah that sounds like a likely thing to happen with these guys.” Yeah it is a stretch but it should be reported on. The article ends with ”Is it a big deal? I have no idea. It’s just one of those details that you hear and you’re like, ‘Yeah that sounds like a likely thing to happen with these guys.’”

Carl Sagan, in 1995:

I have a foreboding of an America in my children’s or grandchildren’s time – when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what’s true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness…

The dumbing down of American is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30 second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance

Remember when they said it was about their freedom to choose? When they said they’re problem was that its not right to force it onto people? Obviously lies and bullshit then, but what’s the argument here?

Like seriously, what’s the argument against letting people choose? Isn’t that what you wanted? Because when there is tons of evidence that vaccines are good and safe, you can still choose to not have them. So, hypothetically, if that flipped and they were able to get some “evidence” vaccines are bad and dangerous, wouldn’t it still be your right to choose? Just like it was their right to choose, even when it shouldn’t have been.

It goes without saying, obviously hypocrisy, but holy shit. And the unfortunate thing is that it is much easier to prevent vaccines than it is to supply them.

Assistant to the presidential Muskager. Terrible but it popped in my head

That’s exactly what I thought. Just homeboy who was pissed about not getting a promotion.

4D Chess move: wanna stop immigration into your country? Make your country so shitty and unlivable that it’s not worth visiting let alone moving to

I hate to admit it, but somehow Ben Shapiro was right. He wrote about this in his terrible, awful, no good, very bad book True Allegiance. Although the reason why that invasion started was due to border crossings. And it wasn’t started by the president but by the governor of Texas.

The book is awful but I recommend listening to Behind the Bastards’ (a podcast) reading of it because it is enlightening.
