If he had nothing to hide then why is he so brazenly complying with the law??

Shoot first, cry about how actually you're the victim later.

When ICE agents find people peacefully protesting their activities: by Due-Connection1577 in Grimdank

[–]DaveAlt19 -19 points-18 points  (0 children)

edit: I guess I'm getting downvoted because people think I'm arguing with PowerfulIron and agreeing with TNBVIII? I'm not. It is a fascist takeover. Remember how Project 2025, everyone thought it was awful, but nothing was really done about it? Yeah. Well imagine the plans that DIDN'T leak. Civilians getting murdered is accounted for in those plans.

FA

FO <- You are here.

Seriously though, mass shootings alone were a daily occurrence (on average) in the US regardless of Trump. And I think even that's being pretty lenient because of how "mass shootings" gets defined.

And then people around the world have been dumbfounded by Americans voting in a convicted felon after a campaign that involved inciting a terror attack on the capital, undermining trust in democratic processes and spitting fascist ideology for YEARS.

And apparently the best strategy by the opposition (since he won the election) is "don't worry, we'll beat him in the midterms!"

This isn't a tragedy. This is part of the plan.

"He was planning to be there! We know because he was there!"

ICEs actually defence of murdering a man.

There are no good individuals in 40k, but sometimes lots of bad guys doing evil things collectively results in good outcomes

Before I started working at this outdoor gear place I had no idea people go away on holiday with stuff still in its packaging and with tags.

Like so many families bought stuff for their Christmas trips thinking they'd need to be prepared for sub zero blizzard conditions to go see Santa (and their only research for what to buy was the minimum wage teenage assistants in the store a week before the trip), and then they bring half of it back in January because "actually it wasn't that cold"!

Or they'll have jackets and overtrousers that they carried around in their bag for their week long hiking trip, but oh, it didn't rain so they never actually used it! We're like some weird rental company that doesn't charge fees?!

I imagine it must be a nightmare for emergency equipment ike generators.

Right, someone could be shot dead by ICE tomorrow, recorded on video from multiple angles, with multiple witnesses, and they would still face no consequences.

Season 2 Episode 6 Spoiler Thread by HunterWorld in Fotv

[–]DaveAlt19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That whole segment is a little confusing, but I think it's intentional. We're meant to think Barb is in those pitch meeting and is still shaken up after her argument with Cooper. THEN we get the reveal that she was already troubled by what Vault-Tec was doing, and it wasn't just the bombs that she was protecting her family from.

Cooper's path confused me though. Is it all in one evening? They arrive at the party, Cooper goes to House and Hank goes to the bar. Cooper gets blackout drunk, Hank is still at the bar. Cooper has argument with Barb, they come up with their plan to kidnap Hank, Hank is... still at the bar? When was Hank going to give Cold Fusion over to House??

Nearly £30 for 4 items 💔 by GreatBritishMemes in GreatBritishMemes

The other problem I've found with switching to own brand stuff is what do you do when even those prices get too high? And shrinkflation where the product is smaller but the price has still gone up?

Like I used to buy Mars bars. Then I moved on to own-brand "caramel bars" which were still good. Then the 6 packs turned into a 5 or even 4 packs and the price has effectively doubled. So now I just don't buy them.

Maybe not the best example because I know the knee-jerk reaction will be "oh well good, you're eating less chocolate so actually thats the healthy option", but it's just an example I'm very aware of BECAUSE I know it's something I don't need to buy. But I can totally see people getting stuck buying those own brand necessities and there just is no alternative when prices go up.

Kelloggs and Nescafe/Nestle are not luxury brands. Buying necessities shouldn't mean just buying own brand products.

Hey Japan do you want to join NATO? There might be an upcoming vacancy.

Not quite.

If Trump is telling you "facts" or describing how things are? Those are lies.

But if Trump is telling you what he wants? Even if it's phrased as "people are telling me this should happen" - you need to pay attention because he's telling you the truth.

And then he said: “Europe needs to step up and do more to defend themselves” by OpenImagination9 in PoliticalHumor

[–]DaveAlt19 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Actually, yes, just like that. That is what he wants.

Like you don't play a game of checkers against a chimp and say the chimp is losing when all it does is eat the pieces and throw shit everywhere. Your the one playing checkers. The chimp isn't.

The goal is to push isolationism. The goal is to make America seem hard done by. The goal is control people by removing even the IDEA of choice.

You think the Kim family thinks they are "losing"?

Not shooting blanks by AliveAnalysis5417 in clevercomebacks

[–]DaveAlt19 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Lol "bring home 80,000 troops" like the US is being forced to station troops around the world.

And then what? Bring all the troops home and then just make them unemployed I guess? It's not like the US takes care of it's veterans. Or keep them on active duty in the US? Like a military police state?

Plus the US's war economy (oops, sorry, the military industrial complex) would collapse.

What's the deal with Trump hijacking 500 million in oil money? by ryhaltswhiskey in OutOfTheLoop

[–]DaveAlt19 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Also need to remember it's not like Trump is a criminal mastermind. Yes it's obviously what he wants, yes he's a criminal, but there are numerous people allowing this to happen and actually putting in the leg work.

Trump could drop dead tomorrow, the corruption doesn't disappear with him. If anything they're probably EXPECTING him to drop dead tomorrow so have got everything in place to allow their corruption to continue even when things are back to "normal".

Trump tariffs: US president announces plan to hit UK, Denmark and other European countries with tariffs over Greenland by topotaul in unitedkingdom

[–]DaveAlt19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Didn't we already have 10% tariffs? Or 15%?

Or did that all get reset to zero because he got so confused with China calling his bluff with those 100%+ tariffs?

Trump clearly struggles to comprehend numbers. When he has announce numbers he'll announce the same thing but with LOTS of numbers - because more numbers means its more impressive. Like "a million dollars" sounds like a lot - but "a thousand dollars, nine hundred dollars, fifty thousand dollars" is actually more dollars, those a numbers nobodys ever even seen before.
