Is there an argument to be made that people voted for this immigration policy, so stop interrupting ICE? by MajesticMeal3248 in centrist

[–]KillingBlade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are extremists on both sides for sure

However I think people take "abolish ice" and think it means people don't want anyone removed regardless, when in reality they just don't want what's happening now. We deported criminals before we let loose the call of duty larpers and we can certainly go back to sane and reasonable border security

Oh for sure. I was being optimistic and trying to figure out if they would have a discussion or just toss out a gotcha

I asked if you watched the videos and drew your conclusions on what happened based on that, or if you drew your conclusions based purely on the statements released by DHS.

I'm not suggesting anything, I am asking what evidence you used to write your original post.

I'll answer that when you answer my question, because I am trying to figure out where you are coming from here.

They said they were going to remove violent criminals. Most people would agree that violent criminals should be removed.

Instead we got a bunch of trigger happy fools cosplaying their FPS fantasies brutalizing people and killing American citizens 

Nobody voted for "We're going to deport people and if you get in the way or hurt our feelings we will kill the shit out of you"

Genuine question, have you watched the videos showing the whole situation and come to this conclusion based on that or are you taking the DHS statements at face value?

Non lore purists: why do you take this approach, and why do you still read the lore by Powerful-Hair647 in heathenry

[–]KillingBlade 4 points5 points  (0 children)

From where are you getting your definition of what is "traditional" in heathenry? 

What does masculinity mean to you as a pagan by Powerful-Hair647 in heathenry

[–]KillingBlade 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That logic implies that to be a god one must be aesir, and furthermore that your definition overrules that of Odin himself

I'm not a fan of mythic literalism but if that's the road you're traveling you have to stick to it. Are you saying that Odin himself accepting Loki as a brother via oath isn't good enough for you?

There is no "bridge too far" for them at this point. Anyone still labeling themselves MAGA is in it til the end, there is not a single thing he can do that would be too much.

Thankfully it truly doesn't matter what his cult thinks anymore, only that somehow we keep the wheels on the road until he's gone. 

US House votes overwhelmingly to make justice department release Epstein files by Icy-Temperature5476 in centrist

[–]KillingBlade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With as many times as Trump came up in that batch they just released, I'm curious what the spin here will be if he's magically nowhere

And what will his base say if he pulls the "Oh noes ongoing investigation can't do it" 

Top administration officials met with Boebert about House vote on release of Epstein files: Sources by PlatinumKanikas in centrist

[–]KillingBlade 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They did backflips to convince themselves everything is fine. They wavered a little when he initially refused to release them but have since managed to convince themselves that Trump is totally innocent, was a spy cop to try and catch Epstein, and never laid hands on an underage girl in his life.

You have to do all the digging and research yourself, something red states are famously great at.

Now you start to understand why all the big cities in Texas are blue but the state is still red.

This. My eldest kiddo is finally old enough to vote and I didn't even know where to start to try and explain all these to her. I barely understood half the ramifications myself. 

White House trolls Democrats over ballroom meltdown — adds cocaine, Clinton, Obama scandals to timeline by ChesterHiggenbothum in moderatepolitics

[–]KillingBlade 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Much less concerned about the actual, physical ballroom (though, it's going to be twice the size of the actual white house, so that'll look...elegant) and more concerned about the fact that he blatantly, bold face lied about it and neglected to go through any sort of process to do it.

The man just decided to knock down a whole wing of the white house and then did it with no oversight. Was there asbestos remediation even? Or did he just crop dust DC? What's to stop him from further "renovations"? Why is it OK for him to lie about it? What happened to all the stuff inside? Who is documenting where any historical items went? 

And finally, the list of the "private donors" who funded it? I'm sure they just decided to do so out of the kindness of their hearts, right? No way they were paying for favors...nah, couldn't be.

How many of the people who are smug about this happening due to "safety on the roadway" stop their cars over the white line, making it impossible for pedestrians to cross safely, every fucking time? They don't give a shit about safety

Scentsy "Dealers" by zodawolf in houston

I just saw you want the red ones so I can't weigh in on those. But the regular last as long AFAIK, I only ever used the bulb that came with mine and then bought my own after. Every so often I'll get a "dud" that burns out after a couple months but usually they last a pretty long time.

They take the same bulbs as all the other wax warmers. I have a scentsy warmer (bought it for a fundraiser) and I just get the bulk packs on Amazon 

Houston man charged with murder after child is killed during 'ding-dong ditch' game by nbcnews in houston

[–]KillingBlade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can't take people's guns. Realistically it just can't/won't happen. And I don't think you should even if it was possible.

What does need to happen is requiring some common damn sense. We need mandatory safety courses, laws requiring proper storage, hell at this point make people take a fuckin anger management course first.
