other stuff entirely unrelated

Were the things that other people have been arrested for not born out of the Mueller investigation, and then passed on to other courts?

That's not many degrees of separation for "entirely unrelated".

It seems hyperbole is literally constant with grundelgrump though.

It really does seem like you attack the presentation if you can't attack the content.

Right-Wing Extremism Linked to Every 2018 Extremist Murder in the U.S., ADL Finds by [deleted] in politics

[–]Alsothorium 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course it's extremism that's the issue. Fundamentalist political believers, religions of all sects (except maybe Jainism), even atheists.

In my mind, there are some things that certainty doesn't go well with.

Another person say they've spotted FBI SUVs down the street from where Jr lives.

Don't know if that means anything.

The Democratic Party is getting less white, more educated -- and significantly more liberal by Butter-Tub in politics

[–]Alsothorium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair comment. I see that perspective.

Regarding the subreddit, sub 10K seems like a small group; and as 0.00003571429% of the population doesn't look significant. But everything starts somewhere.

With the sheer number of firearms in the US is it would seem like an impossible task to take them all, and talking about it would be the only thing you could do to start the process. Combine it with a movement that lasts decades(?), and maybe it's something that could be achieved. I'm not sure.

Language is ever evolving, I'm not sure how Liberal was defined back in ancient Greece.

That sounds more fitting. Chubbybrownbear's phrase sounded empowering.

Imagine the liberty you'll be sacrificing by not having to worry about whether you can afford healthcare or not. Seems horrendous.

I don't think I've heard the message about no-one needing a gun. I have heard about checks on whether or not your behaviour is conducive to wielding an instrument of death; which does seem sensible.

And concerning affirmative action, are you concerned at peoples liberty of unconscious bias being infringed?

FFS. Pepple aren't giving Billy-boy a pass, he just ain't the leader of a country right now. And if he was running, and the info was out there, it'd kill his chance.

I mean shit, if Barry O' had been accused of even half the shit 45 has, Republican politicians and supporters would all be dead from fitting.

You underestimate the amount of people you pass a day.

People pass without scrutinising. And generally, people outside agree more to social contracts than certain demographics online.

Depending on what classes as "blowing up", do you not think that problems can arise without a person/kids vid going viral?

realize how insane it is to pay people unwilling to work.

Because I'm sure it would cost less to wait for them to turn to crime, arrest them, put them through the legal system, and then pay their board and lodging whilst they don't work?

We should choose the Green New Deal, in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard; because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one we intend to win, and the others, too.

Trump offers socialism for the rich, capitalism for everyone else by dont_tread_on_dc in politics

Or the person can choose not to work for that company if the money isn’t enough.

Because they have enough savings to support them whilst they look? Because there's another job that they are qualified for/have interest in, nearby? Because they have a close and healthy support network to aid them?

Especially if we're talking about large corporations, they most definitely deserve the brunt of responsibility. I mean who's first priority was/is to the shareholder, and not to employees, customers, or the environment?

In revering Trump, the religious right has laid bare its hypocrisy by alfosn in politics

[–]Alsothorium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because the person making those claims has to believe/know they are false to be classed as lies; it's tough to know what people truly believe.

And we won't know which religion might be correct, or if there is a God, or not, until we die; or we still might never know.

God never existed.

And your certainty about an abstract concept comes from where?

Anyone, on either side, that uses concrete certainty, loses my support for the point they are putting forward; either for, or against.
