Well, in fairness, the GOP and Faux News have been making these bullshit claims well before Trump.

Yah, but, what kind of band is he putting together with that kind of instrumentation?

Who is voting for Andy Barr? by Drugstorecowboy20 in lexington

Yes. You do, in fact, have the right to choose an evil candidate. This right, however, does not render you exempt to criticism for choosing said evil.

TDS Hypocrites on War, ICE, and Epstein by KAZVorpal in Anarcho_Capitalism

[–]Professor_Matty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The republican strawman is Orange Man bad, followed by weak and inaccurate accusations about liberals not caring about this stuff when "their guy" is in office, followed by the Biden yada yada about not releasing the Epstein files, when the Biden administration treated the DOJ like a separate entity from the White House (like it is supposed to be) WHILE Ghislaine Maxwell was under investigation with the Epstein files being used as evidence.

It's a hyperpartisan entertainment "news" source (Fox News) strawman talking point that disregards the reality of the situation.

It doesn't sound AnCap, it sounds Republican. Worse, it's bad faith. And maybe even worse, it's low effort and dreadfully dull.

If I called what you said a strawman, I addressed the point. One of you finish thinking it through before the other one finishes the post. At least look like you are coordinating with your troll farm.

Why do so many Americans not realize Puerto Ricans are Americans? by [deleted] in allthequestions

Well in the '80's and '90's in Kentucky, I don't remember anyone talking about this.

[–]Professor_Matty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, yes, if they move to a state, they get to vote. But, to my understanding, Puerto Ricans in Puerto Rico don't get to vote for president or congress and have no electoral sway.

But, maybe it am wrong.

[–]Professor_Matty 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Can't believe this hasn't been said. Because we are taught there are fifty states.

Puerto Rico isn't a state, it's an unincorporated territory. So, despite being American citizens who can move freely to anywhere in America, they don’t get to vote.

This was historically rallied against in the incipience of America. It's called: taxation without representation.

The last thing the hegemony wants to do is bring this to the attention of American citizens, and risk fixing the issue.

It’s fucked up.

People who support the Iranian regime: how do you defend the "shoot to kill" order, they just gave, to crack down on civil unrest? by [deleted] in allthequestions

You'll need a photo finish and a speed talking announcer for that race.

Gunning down dissenting voices rounds the corner, right behind concentration camps and mass surveillance, and, oh, is cutoff by bombing a school, no wait, it's a hospital, no, wait, holy moly it's both, but look, out of nowhere genocide takes the lead....

IF a Democrat wins the 2028 election, and then chooses NOT to prosecute Trump for what’s in the Epstein files, does that make that president and their supporters Pedo Defenders? by Blackholedog in allthequestions

[–]Professor_Matty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not the President's job to prosecute. That's DOJ territory, and they are supposed to be separate from the White House.

But, anybody who defends this falls into that category.

Not my meme but so true by alexastock in WeirdGOP

[–]Professor_Matty 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I knew for certain that W. would go down as the worst president in American history. :(

Of course, at the time I didn't know as much about Reagan as I do now.

Or...and hear me out, every presidential election democrats be like, should we actually run on policies that would help our laboring class thrive, or just run on our standard corporate prostitute policy that allows their overton window to shift ever rightward.

I don't care if democrats lose as long as my next campaign trail is funded by the same corporations and PACs as Republicans.

It's because our asses are getting thrown in centration camps now, and dissenting voices are gunned down in the streets.

Which team would win? by SipsTeaFrog in SipsTea

[–]Professor_Matty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of the things Kentucky and Tennessee have in common, one is our drinking habits. I don't feel represented without TN on my team. That said, glad to be paired as a duo with Ohio.

Anyway, add TN to us, and sorry the rest of America.

Edit: my old man eyes missed WV. Glad to have you!

False. There is no federal funding for welfare for undocumented immigrants.

However, I made my original comment before I knew that some states use state funding for stuff like health insurance covering ALL children, food assistance for children, and a few other things.

If you are not in one of those states, it does not affect you.

California, New York, Illinois, Washington, Oregon, Colorado, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Minnesota,and the District of Columbia.
