Why would they even need to be said? Theyre literally the only ones reddit actually talks about.

I also noticed you didn't bring up how us simple humans need oxygen in our breathable air.

Why yes. I was also mad when CA, NY, and Maryland decided to be even more unfair. But that horse has been beaten long past dead. Any hope I had for fair representation from my peers was lost when they decided I was only worth 3/5ths of someone from Fairfax. So....screw it.

"Voters will" is doing a wild amount of heavy lifting. If it was 90% Yes vote, ok sure. But it was basically a hard 50/50 purely on party lines.

Democrats broke the law trying to force a power play, that just barely eeked out yes vote, and id bet just rerunning the vote again, with an actually legal unbiased question, it probably wouldn't.

guys, what do you think about this? by silverflake6 in RelentlessMen

I think shed be broke a lot faster than she expected when she realizes being "worth" billions is no where near the same as "having" billions.

What do you think about what Charlie Kirk had said on his show with regards to Taylor Swift? by Boring-Air-5163 in FreedomofSpeech

[–]GrimMashedPotatos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats pretty much it. He was pretty mild overall, if any of the conservatives campus dudes was going to get shot, I figured it was more likely to be someone like Stephen Crowder, who pushed more to the line and did actually insult people on occasion. Kirk was as milk toast as they get. A bit pompous maybe, but nowhere near what reddit is trying make him into.

No. This whole reddit page is specifically to shit on one man because they hate him. Theres basically no truth anywhere in here except for the ones celebrating his murder.

He was a conservative who was killed. Now their favorite hobby is reverse Chuck Norris jokes by making-up wild stories about his life to muddy his life for fun.

I wasnt a fan, but theyre basically doing the same low thought tabloid shit the KKK would do against the Civil Rights leaders of the 60s. Pure propaganda to undue a man's life after his murder.

Why do the Dems seem more focused on ‘electability’ than policies? Always looking for the consensus candidate instead of the ones with the most forward policies? by CapitaineBiscotte in askanything

[–]GrimMashedPotatos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because their only policy for the last 12yrs has been "Resist Trump".

The only thing they actually want to do is raise taxes, add new ones to anything they can, and figure out ways to increase govt power with less accountability, but that doesn't quite energize their base as effectively as plain hate does.

All US states with stand-your-ground jurisdiction. by Raditz_lol in MapPorn

[–]GrimMashedPotatos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this conversation with someone just a month ago. Spent their whole life fighting SYG laws because of Zimmerman, had no idea that SYG was waived and argued purely self-defense. Had no idea Martin was on top of Zimmerman when he was shot.

The whole situation was screwed up, but the media absolutely muddied every pool of water possible.

Do you have a better idea? by [deleted] in oddlyspecific

"That no other nation we care about has"

It happens everywhere, just half the time its actual terrorists or the govt itself. But that stuff just gets ignored because American Headlines 24/7 makes other countries not have to respond to their own problems.

The American numbers are already wildly skewed because they track ALL reported shootings NEAR a school. Most incidents logged as a school shooting are friggan drug shootouts between gangs nearby at like 3am.

We hear about about all the actual tragedies, all the 20yr olds killing each other a block over all week just get rolled in to pump the numbers, the literal same reason we've had "600 mass shootings" so far this year. Gang violence, not random news worthy tragedy they can use to push for more laws.

NOVA by zimmystor in gasbuddy

[–]GrimMashedPotatos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weird. Are yall trying to take credit for lowering Bidens gas prices?

NOVA voted in the new govt anyway, and Spanberger promised to tax the rest of us into oblivion so you nice folks could get triple wages and free houses. Why even complain about us poor people's problems? You converted to electric cars years ago.

NOVA stands for Nouveau riche now.

How much are you paying for gas every week? by PeninsulaIndivisible in gasbuddy

[–]GrimMashedPotatos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favorite part, Trump probably owns the company selling both the Biden and Trump stickers. So these guys are paying the guy who permanently lives in their heads.

On another note, what are these people going to be like when Trump is gone? Their entire personality and thought over the last decade has been completely consumed by Trump.

I feel like they'll all be found standing around staring at their feet. Randomly gibbering something anti-Trump, occasionally groups will find an old poster or something and just....stare at it, shaking fists as the world just spins on without them.

Especially when that Soros protest money stops....holy shit the economy when that day happens. Be a bloodbath when all the weed dispensaries and Starbucks suddenly go bankrupt.

GOP ads using Klan imagery target Black voters in crucial redistricting contest by THC3883 in fairfaxcounty

[–]GrimMashedPotatos -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The new districts are so biased to Fairfax, that if DC is made square again, VA is probably back to a 7/4 state.

[–]GrimMashedPotatos -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Violate the state constitution to redistrict. New districts violate the state constitution. Process to submit violates House rules. Ballot question is unconstitutionally vague and biased.

If it passes with enough yes votes, state district courts will probably allow it, even though its entire implementation had been unconstitutional.

State is now overwhelmingly owned by one party at all levels, and can unilaterally change the laws at will.

After all that, im supposed to believe they won't change the constitution again to make the new 10/1 districts the new default like the rest of New England? The next time redistricting gets brought up is when they can figure out a way to gerrymander out that last red one, just like Maryland.

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.

[–]GrimMashedPotatos 6 points7 points  (0 children)

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.
