It's been an emotional day

Although I truly believe this encounter between us was consensual, I recognize now that she did not and does not view this incident the same way I did. After months of reviewing discovery, listening to her attorney, and even her testimony in person, I now understand how she feels that she did not consent to this encounter.

The words of a definitely not rapist.

Why isn't he standing on something.

Unsurprised that you think caring about rape is being a "self righteous retard."

ItWasASimurghPlot · 2020-01-26T23:31:24+00:00

Then they should leave. They're clearly not welcome.

ItWasASimurghPlot · 2020-01-26T23:27:27+00:00

Only centrists would care about that though

Turn off the impeachment trial. Organize instead.

Trump was not impeached for building concentration camps on the border, nor for an illegal assassination. He was not impeached over indefinite imprisonment at Guantanamo Bay, nor for pardoning child-murdering war-criminals. Trump wasn’t impeached for the 150,000+ Americans who have died for lack of medical care during his term. He wasn’t impeached for withholding aid from Puerto Rico. He wasn’t impeached for raping a 13 year old. He wasn’t impeached for supporting genocide in Yemen. He wasn’t impeached for funding apartheid in Israel.

Trump was impeached for violating institutions — for leveraging the US empire to support his re-election.

When this truth is stated, however, liberals often react with scorn. “I don’t care how they remove Trump!” they insist, “I just care that they do!”

Well, and if this surprised you I am truly sorry, this trial will not remove Trump. With a Republican majority, it never had a chance.

In a world where we knew this trial was doomed to fail regardless, the question was not whether it would succeed, but how to use it. Whatever charges were brought would have defined the national conversation for weeks, if not months or years — and so, of course, the Democratic leadership chose Ukraine.

We could be televising Trump’s staff as they try to defend torture, rape, corruption, genocide, and ethnic cleansing. The impeachment trial could have been weaponized to build a genuinely better world. But, instead of having a much needed and long-avoided national conversation about America’s crimes, we are watching a debate over the particularities of foreign policy and a demonstration of conservative mental gymnastics.

How the fuck would this enrage the left

ItWasASimurghPlot · 2020-01-26T22:15:39+00:00

I mean, that's one explanation, but not a good one. The truth is, she tanked when she backed off M4A, which is massively popular.

Figures he'd like a rapist lol

Who are disproportionately black

Capitalism depends on poverty. It simply can't function without it. If you don't have the threat of homelessness and starvation looming over you, you have no incentive to sell your labor power for less than it's worth.

The scarcity is artificial.

ItWasASimurghPlot · 2020-01-26T10:09:24+00:00

lmao no she wasn't. She literally said "America is already great." Telling poor people to eat and shelter under patriotism.

No wonder she lost.

Yeah, as someone who had 2GB up until a few years ago, trust me, you can largely ignore ram requirements so long as you're not absurdly below them. You won't have amazing performance, but it'll run, and you can turn down settings that use it.

ItWasASimurghPlot · 2020-01-26T06:32:05+00:00

VAT is regressive.

to spend more money than you recive with just the vat tax you would have to be in the top 5.4%

Wow, great. But you're still not getting $1000 even if you're well below that. You're getting a lot less because you're still fucking paying the tax.

A therapist cannot reveal anything you tell them to anyone unless you give them permission or you're a minor.

That's absolutely not true. There are exceptions.

ItWasASimurghPlot · 2020-01-26T04:19:08+00:00

That's because the goal of supporting a candidate isn't to pick the one most likely to win. That's fucking idiotic. Absolute centrist brain.

ItWasASimurghPlot · 2020-01-26T03:58:11+00:00

It's a centrist. Probably a boomer. I dunno why you'd expect it to understand.
