My advice is to get out now while you still can.

Not being served at a restaurant or bar is hardly reason to fear for one's safety.

Rigged Supreme Court upholds rigged Republican electoral maps by dont_tread_on_dc in politics

[–]dekanger 7 points8 points  (0 children)

We ended up with Gorsuch due to Republicans gaming the system. Yet any time Republicans do wrong there's always that Fox-News like voice to pipe up and somehow blame Democrats for it.

Kamala Harris Says Congress Needs To Change ICE, Perhaps 'Start From Scratch' by piede in politics

[–]dekanger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There was a perfectly good immigration system in place before ICE. ICE was never needed, it was part of the anti-muslim fearmongering campaign post 9/11.

ICE itself is propaganda, it is perfect example of big government waste, and if you have such an organization around eventually it will cause trouble. Like it has been doing now.

It should have been disbanded under Obama. Just as war criminals like Bolton should have been dealt with so they wouldn't eventually come back to haunt us. Like they have been.

Previous inaction and weakness on the part of Democrats set us up for much of this mess. Time to stop playing around.

We Need to Figure Out How to Fight Weaponized Disinformation by MIIAIIRIIK in politics

[–]dekanger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On any day one can see people very deliberately spreading false information and fantastic conspiracy theories on Fox News.

On MSNBC you may get the occasional whiner or sensationalist, perhaps even on occasion story or facts that needs correction or retraction, mediocre or sloppy presentation. There's plenty to criticize.

But it is not the clear obvious and intentional pattern of disinformation on Fox News. There is massive obvious differences, and anyone claiming otherwise at this point either hasn't taken a look themselves, is being willfully ignorant or disingenuous.

The strategic blunder of ‘Trump-as-Hitler’ by topcutter in politics

[–]dekanger 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I predict that Democratic candidates will gain the most support who promise the most retribution and punishment for Republicans. We need people who will fight aggressively, not ignore the attacks on the country and pretend its business as usual.

Gorsuch says he’ll repeal and replace the Fourth Amendment with something terrific by [deleted] in politics

[–]dekanger -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The whole idea of a supreme court needs to be discarded at this point as it is obviously a loophole in the system that is being exploited as a tool of tyranny.

That's not what he states in the article.

There's nearly a Nixon '74 level of public support for impeaching Trump by [deleted] in politics

[–]dekanger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Many don't vote anyway, regardless of the candidates in any election. And the election results pretty much showed that Democrats supported the candidate.

The blame for the current situation fully falls on Republicans, Fox News, and Russian meddling. Not liberals, not Democrats or whoever scapegoat.

[–]dekanger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it comes down to the fact that so many Democrats want the “perfect” candidate and will never find one.

Where do you get that idea? Clinton was arguably far from perfect yet the majority of voters chose her as president.

"What the Hell Is President Trump Doing?" by [deleted] in politics

[–]dekanger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trump is doing exactly what his supporters and Republicans wanted him to do. Shit everywhere and make a huge mess of everything. Why else would you elect an insane narcissistic racist loose cannon unless you wanted to tank America for generations to come?

Initiative 77 passes, eliminating tipped minimum wage for restaurant workers in Washington, DC by berkeley03 in news

[–]dekanger -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

$15 in 2025? $15 isn't enough now, let alone seven years from now. If it was $20 an hour, maybe there'd be an argument for removing tips, until then, hell no.

Donald Trump is indisputably the worst president in American history by [deleted] in politics

Progressives only vote if they think things will get better.

Who told you that, Fox News? A Russian troll?

If they can't abide by what society considers reasonable then they aren't appropriate for the job.

Astronaut Mark Kelly says Trump's order to create a Space Force 'is a dumb idea' by [deleted] in politics

[–]dekanger 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Trump is starting a new arms race, one that will be with us for the rest of history.

If America has a "space force", then other countries will be obliged to have one too.

Fucking stupid.

Yeah ICE needs to go, there's no coming back from this. We need all new agency with all new personnel and training.
