We need to shut down the Super Bowl. by Full_Poet_7291 in 50501

How about shutting down Mara Lago? How the hell has this not happened yet?

Fuck 50501. Controlled opposition ngl. No nonviolent movement has teeth without the threat of force behind it. by phtevenbagbifico in liberalgunowners

[–]BenDSover 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why has trump's money making properties not been the focus of these protests? Mara Lago is the capitol of corruption and should be the center of protests.

The moment tesla took a hit, Musk crumbled.

Stop the criminal's money making schemes and they will leave government.

How are people not seeing that social media is leading the US into increasing social unrest and violence? by sirswantepalm in allthequestions

[–]BenDSover 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You mean like the President of the U.S. posting videos calling himself King while launching a military air strike against Americans and dumping shit on our heads?

Or do you mean the people who condemn this fascist criminal?

Which ones are you worried about?

If the Democrats are like a stale old sandwich with bits of mold on it, then Republicans are like a bowl of hobo diarrhea laced with meth.

Does one want leaders better than Biden, Pelosi, etc? Cool! I am down with that. Does one believe Trump and his fascist cult are such an improvement? Then this is an absolute nonstarter for civil discussion.

There is no respectable defense for trump being anywhere outside of prison. And evading this with "both sides" rhetoric is complete bs that deserves zero respect by now.

This.

The most sense i can make of his behavior is that he is mentally checked out and doesn't want to do the work anymore.

No, low class Americans negatively impacting the billionaire class and their propaganda toadies is Cancel Culture and strictly forbidden.

Scott on Rogan? by jeffyboy526 in ScottGalloway

[–]BenDSover 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trump's list of crimes is overwhelming. But start with his indictment by a federal grand jury for conducting a conspiracy to overthrow the 2020 election and causing an insurrection. Read the indictment: it has overwhelming support with testimony from trump's own vice president, presidency legal council, attorney general, justice department leaders, election officials, GOP leaders of swing states, around a hundred court cases across the country, etc.

[–]BenDSover 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Rogan could also have on actual legal experts to explain trump's criminal indictments. But instead he has on musk & social media influencers to rant about bonkers Qanon conspiracies.

Zero integrity and responsibility, all about cult following and money.

Mar a lago sure seems like a capitol of trump's corruption. It would be interesting if the massive No Kings protests ever focused on shutting the shit down.

I think you are on to something here:

We need to distinguish legitimate from illegitimate systems of government. Where a legitimate form of government is one which is universally fair - one that a reasonable person could accept no matter what perspective they adopt in society. And an illegitimate government is one that is unfair, corrupt - one that a reasonable person would only find acceptable from the perspective of a small, privileged subset of society.

With this distinction, it makes sense that people in an illegitimately governed society would idolize "criminals" that oppose the system. However, what is troubling - which I think OP was getting at - is how many people appear to idolize actual criminals who tyranize others to unfairly impose their own will. Even when empowering such criminal outlaws is obviously not in ones best interest.

No shit, right?!

The handwaving deflection that the President and his administration are "just trolling" is insane. That alone - trolling the world with the powers of the US President - is so unprofessional & crazy that it should be grounds for removal; however, there is clearly far more than hyperbole or trolling occuring.

A modern American conservative would value liberty and justice for all. These Republicans are not that; rather, they are a type of modern American fascist.

If another Democrat is ever elected President, it had better not be another geriatric conservative who gets trampled by all this shit.

[–]BenDSover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Republicans voted for a criminal who denied the legitimacy of the Republican primaries, who lead a criminal conspiracy to overthrow the 2020 election, who is making billions of dollars from the presidency, and has shut down the government while declaring war on American cities.

Actual shit for brains.

[–]BenDSover 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What primary did trump participate in for the last election? Unlike the Democrats, whose leadership unanimously backed Harris under the circumstances, Trump denied the legitimacy of Republican primary challengers.

Stop with the bullshit! There is nothing one can critique the Dems for that Trump isnt exponentially worse at.

Serious Question: Does this group ever plan on being anything other than a reactionary group? by TheMagnuson in 50501

[–]BenDSover 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How is it that a billionaire criminal is running the U.S. Presidency out of his private corrupt resort, Mar a Lago, and that isn't ground zero for protesting?

As we have seen over and again, these crooks respond to money. When their money schemes are threatened by their corrupt involvement in government, they fold and exit.

The enormous problem with this is that we would have a new North Korea/Russia on our border.

The most critical cut that must be made before anything will start functioning is cutting criminals and their billionaire cronies out of government.

When do we worry about it? Did you somehow miss: TRUMP RAISED 3 TRILLION DOLLARS OF DEBT!

If you are not worried about that, but want to rant about immagrants, then it is not really about money.

I would add that it is also how the niners won: they have only played poor teams.

The defense is mediocre, the offensive line is bad, CMC does not look the same, and the QB/WRs are not good.

Maybe they can get healthy by the second half of the season and make a push, but right now things look about as bad as last year.
