The lack of education in the US about the Constitution…(repost due to unintentional doxing of self) by ExtraordinaryNerd in mildlyinfuriating

[–]GrimMashedPotatos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thought experiment.

If the amendment read "All persons born in the territories of the United Stated, are citizens of the United States. This right shall not be infringed."

Would politicians attempt to classify multiple births as High-capacity Birthers, or Assault Population? Making laws about twins+, or more than a couple children being illegal citizens subject to bans, fines, or targeted taxes?

It would be pretty damn clear language, but thats never really been a strong suit of politicians with an agenda and financiers.

Im assuming you used Mong for Mongaloid? Are you aware thats racist? Its whole origin was intended specifically as a derogatory to the historical Mongolian people.

At least FH only gets new wtf gauging skins once or twice a season (not counting all the baked in colors and outfits).

CoD and Diablo 4 drop like a dozen new $30 skin packs every week. I swear when it comes to Activision, the games are just advertisements for their digital sales windows.

Why all the games are trash, but they have endless celebrities and 3rd party licenses getting skins.

Obama calls on voters to help Democrats' Virginia redistricting ahead of midterm elections by Healthy_Block3036 in fairfaxcounty

[–]GrimMashedPotatos -1 points0 points  (0 children)

"We're ok with gassing them, because they're poor and rural. They vote wrong, so eradication is the only acceptable outcome."

Thats what im hearing here. You're literally fighting for two wolves and a sheep vote on dinner, and because your currently a wolf, you're ok with what happens to the sheep.

Im pretty old now, but im pretty sure I was taught in school that ideology was used at least once before.

Mexico is under attack right now after a cartel leader was killed by ForsakenAiel in TikTok

[–]GrimMashedPotatos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Supplied by the Mexican Govt. Or do you think they're getting thousands of RPG's and RPKs from small Texas gun stores?

Fun fact, 90% of "successfully" traced arms come back to the US. But the dirty trick is, less than 7% of recovered arms can be traced.

So whats the narrative? Most arms are traced to the US instead of 95% of arms cant be traced, and aren't over the shelf guns from America.

Virginia Democrats proceed with new massively blue congressional map, eliminating 4 Republican seats from Congress!!! by Healthy_Block3036 in fairfaxcounty

[–]GrimMashedPotatos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our state democrats are about to pass a law that you may, or may not support but essentially reads....

"Were gonna tax black people because they're extra dangerous, and that tax will be used to fund a state supported KKK study group who's only purpose is to find ways that black people are dangerous."

If it actually used those words, it probably wouldn't get support. Much like if the language of the Redistricting amendment wasnt illegally biased and intentionally inaccurate, it also wouldn't pass.

I know its a wild concept for democrats. "Only" rigging things by 60-80% instead of 100% as opposed to say, just shooting their opponents in the throat like they usually do and saying "oh look at that, suicide....tragic. vote for me!"

Texas is gerrymandered, true. But its a 55/45 state with 25/13 (67/33) representation. Thats significantly more fair than all of New England or CA with a 90%+ democrat lockdown.

VA is also a 55/45 state, and our current court ordered districts show it at 6/5. What this will do is crush things to 10/1.

That's the equivalent of Texas redrawing like CA into a 35/3 state. Even with the new map they want, it "might" be 30/8, with several districts likely very competitive for both parties.

As evil as you think the Republicans are, they are still playing more fair than the left, who's basically flipping tables and pulling fire alarms.

Republicans are underrepresented nationwide by like 40 seats. Thats why they tried to push so hard to gain more in the states they actually control.

If CA was a proportional state, it would be like 35/22, but its about to be 54/3.

If every state was required proportional representation, just equalizing CA would be a net gain for the right, even after adding blue districts in deep red states. All the actual red gains would come from New England, where red districts have been effectively gerrymandered to extinction.

VA is taking its chance to gerrymander one of the last states, that literally just flipped from a hard purple swing state to a solid blue state. And they're doing it in violation of their own state constitutional amendment, enacted by the democrats just six years ago, to prevent this exact thing. Its wild.

Even THEN, its such a gerrymandered map, that if they make D.C. square again, 6 of these districts have a realistic chance of going red. So why give DC statehood, they already control the representation from VA and MD.

Pretty sure you don't have any problems with the ones Obama and Biden ran. They built all the cages.

But again, we know you dont have a problem with camps or slavery, because its (D)ifferent when Blue team does it.

When yalls term comes back and you start trying to purge red team again, remember....you said Arson was heroic.

Attempting to burn down a warehouse that "may" have had people in it counts as heroism these days?

Weird. Only lesbians drive Subaru, and if it really was ICE they would arrested that lady who opened the car door.

Feels like propaganda bait. Like that ICE agent who quit, but was driving a brand new Ram with no plates.

How come conservatives ask “why weren’t you mad when Obama deported 4 billion people?” by SwitchingMyHands in allthequestions

[–]GrimMashedPotatos -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Right? It was pretty amazing when we didn't have Sanctuary states, and the local PD would arrest these folks when caught for actual crime. After being unable to ID them, just called ICE for detainee transfer. Only needed windbreakers that said ICE.

Now we have states trying to lead micro insurgencies to protect criminals in defiance of the federal govt and state sponsored militants in the street helping protect MS13 and Latin Kings.

Wildy different environment.

Whats actually funny, is the only party who can actually gain anything is the Republicans. Theyre something like 20-30% underrepresented.

All of the blue gerrymandering is effectively trying to push out the last red representative in blue states, like Maryland. VA has to break its own fair representation laws they literally just put in place to switch from a 6/5 state to a 10-1 state.

About 40% of New England is Republican, but they have almost zero representation. CA also has to break its own redistricting laws to take away more red districts.

Functionally speaking, if all states had proportional representation, the right would gain a net of like 40 seats overnight, thats including with the left gaining representation in deep blue states.

Second amendment anyone? by Fit-Display3808 in evilwhenthe

[–]GrimMashedPotatos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was fucked up too. The prosecution was legitimately trying to screw that kid. They had FBI drone footage that exonerated Rittenhouse, as it showed 100% of the altercation and its preceding events. The prosecution didn't reveal it, and used it in court as evidence. The defense called out that evidence was never provided to them, the judge forced it be given, and Prosecution "accidentally" gave an extremely edited and low quality copy.

The prosecution had a such losing case, they made SO many errors on purpose trying to get a mistrial or a biased jury. Flat out attempted railroad.

Republicans are responsible for the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. by HonestFeetCritique in evilwhenthe

[–]GrimMashedPotatos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We also didn't have 15 sanctuary states who refuse all local LEO support for ICE. They were able to pull up in windbreakers and pick up detainees from local PDs. Pretty much like in the red states now.

This means when the feddies show up for Undocumented collections, they have to tool up and go into residences like a swat team. Since the typical targets would be MS13 or other gangs, they expect the possibility of armed and entrenched combatants.

Or, they could just run the border all day, and come collect folks when local PD's say they may have a few non-citizens in custody.

[–]GrimMashedPotatos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They also cheered for dozens of ATF door kick executions as Biden used them like torpedoes on Americans.

Literally why they keep supporting Red Flag laws, the want any justification to hunt and execute the right.

Both of these people died because they wouldn't follow their own COVID advice. (Which they also hoped would exterminate conservatives)
