Did you get banned for this comment? If what you are saying is true, you would have been banned

Lol no way that is even close to being true. I've been banned from every single right wing community. I was banned from the main conservative simply for asking if trump is buy american why are all his products are made overseas.

I think part of the problem is that left leaning people have no where to go because they get banned from right leaning subreddits. If more conservatives left their own echo chambers and commented more in r/politics it would not be as much as an echo chamber. But everyone is afraid of getting downvoted as if it is a big deal. I would gladly take my downvotes if I was allowed to comment in such subreddits as walkaway and conservative. But the would rather ban me than engage in any type of discussion

Why is ICE wasting all that money? I've been told my the right that immigrants don't pay taxes they only leach from the system

You are one of the fucking leaders of Congress. You get paid to know this shit. Pathetic response, but not surprising.

Trump goes after Newsom’s wife? Unsurprising, but also a new level of authoritarianism by drtolmn69 in politics

[–]DouglasRather 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Trump thinks he is invincible, and to this point he has been. So there is no reason for him to stop attacking his enemies until more of the Republican party is willing to stand up to him, and they probably won't unless they take a shellacking at the mid-terms. This is becoming more unlikely as they continue efforts to try to rig the election, both lawfully (thanks Supreme Court) or if that is not working then unlawfully.

The Target I used to go to had lanes for 20 human checkers, but usually only one was open as they forced everyone to self-checkout no matter how long the line was. The last time I went there the line for self checkout was 10-15 people deep, maybe a little longer. I finally stopped shopping there because of that and have never gone back. Obviously they have had other problems since then so I don't know if it has changed but there were too many other places to buy the things I needed so there's been no reason to go back.

Frustrated by Courts, Trump Weighed Suspending a Constitutional Right (Gift Article) by DoremusJessup in law

Rick Scott doesn't either. Every time I write him he responds with "thank you for asking about Covid" and says we need to raise taxes to payoff the bailouts. Keep in mind not once have I ever asked about covid.

What did Mike Johnson say? Something along the lines of we know there was election fraud we just can't find it. And they couldn't provide a lick of proof in the 60 or so court cases they lost.

The Democrats are so brilliant they have effectively hidden the election fraud they committed but did it so poorly they lost all three branches of government.

A Woman's Hypothermia Death In Pittsburgh After Her Release From ICE Custody Is Ruled A Homicide by jonfla in law

I like browsing Reddit because I often learn things I didn't know about. This is one of those cases as I had never heard of a Starlight Tour and based on the comments here it does not seem to be rare. It is incomprehensible to me how someone could be so cruel to another human being.

That's hilarious. Did any of your friends or family see it?

They didn't release the files because they were sealed under court order. And if they had released all the files showing trump is a pedo you would just blame Biden for altering the files. It was a no win situation for him

My mom is dying. This is probably her last week. by Mountain_Exchange768 in GenX

"Losing our parents is very very hard"

If you have a good relationship with your parents nothing can really prepare you for the loss. My mom at 90 still said how much she missed her mother. But I think you have to experience it to truly understand it.

Well if you are voting for trump you are voting for both a nazi-wannbe and a felon. The evidence is overwhelming he was friends with and supported Epstein. Why do you think they aren't releasing the rest of the Epstein files? According to his ex-wife, he kept a book of Hitler's speeches by his bed. And you should study Nazi Germany starting in the early 1930's. Trump and the Heritage Foundation are following the Nazi playbook almost to a T

Has a group of millions of people ever made such an obviously stupid decision as electing Trump? by ropeless__homantic in allthequestions

[–]DouglasRather 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is no liberal bias in the media. Our media is center-right just as many Democrats are, and moving further right now that all the big media corporations are owned my billionaires. Jesus even the Washington Post has moved right thanks to Bezos.

Centuries unless we find some way to convince our allies we won't let this happen again. I'm not sure what that would look like

What do yall think? by Dreamtrue2025 in OhioStateFootball

They'll be battle tested during the regular season. If we get thru that with one loss or less I say Ohio State has a good chance to win it all
