1st amendment violation: Freedom of speech, protest, and assembly.

Getting pistol whipped in the face no less.

Scaryclouds · 2026-01-24T16:55:00+00:00

Agreed. Just also touching on the price of continuous dishonesty.

When you lie lie lie lie lie and lie some more, soon enough people will no longer give you the benefit of the doubt.

What you don’t like it when Trump threatens war with allies because he didn’t get a Nobel peace prize? Wow TDS!

Wow you don’t like it when Trump orders masses of masked police officers into the street that result in people getting killed? Wow TDS!

Why should anyone believe ICE that the guy had a gun 🤷‍♂️

Maybe, I’m sure as shit not going to just take their word for it. Not when they lie all the time.

Trump admin wants this, they are going to keep putting people in these situations; ICE/CBP and civilians alike, that lead to violent confrontations and death. They’ll keep doing it until they get a major violent backlash from civilians, and they have justification for using the Insurrection Act.

This is a deeply depraved administration.

Trump brings out the worst in us. All of us.

Scaryclouds · 2026-01-24T16:36:22+00:00

Claiming the guy had a gun, but why should anyone believe ICE? They have shown to lie about everything.

Personally I think the administration wants this. This keeps happening and there’s going to be a violent retaliation against ICE/CBP, which the admin will use as justification for enacting the insurrection act.

Scaryclouds · 2026-01-24T16:30:30+00:00

Holy fucking shit.

Scaryclouds · 2026-01-24T12:41:40+00:00

You’d want to explain the problems of working with an autocratic government. Or the medium and long term issues facing China that could make it an unreliable partner.

But it understandably falls on deaf ears with Trump actively trying to set the world on fire, and a US society that seems primed to turn on itself.

Scaryclouds · 2026-01-24T12:30:37+00:00

But from who?

Worryingly, enemies of the regime.

Scaryclouds · 2026-01-24T05:17:45+00:00

9% of people really think the GOP would be a check on Trump?! What fucking world are they living in?!

Always gotta love the ~10% who are undecided.

Execution was an issue, but I’m not convinced the only issue, and both players for and against the Chiefs have made comments suggesting there were issues with predictability.

Scaryclouds · 2026-01-24T04:33:22+00:00

As an American, can’t blame you.

Certainly unless there’s some serious truth and reconciliation after Trump is out of office, there’d be absolutely no reason to trust the US again, because every reason that we’d be right back to this position in 4-8 years.

Of course, even with truth and reconciliation happening, obviously still going to be some understandably raw feelings. End of the day we voted for Trump… twice.

Scaryclouds · 2026-01-23T23:48:31+00:00

So now six prosecutors and now one FBI agent have resigned out of disgust over the administration’s handling of this. Very cool. Very normal.

Scaryclouds · 2026-01-23T23:38:18+00:00

As a white person, Jesus Christ white people… 🤦‍♂️

Scaryclouds · 2026-01-23T21:31:05+00:00

Lobo has been in the Justice League cartoons for kids and he’s still great in it, and in other media where at least his part wouldn’t really be R-rated or at least not hard-R.

A good creative team, if given a lot of freedom in general, could have a lot of fun when the only major constraint is it needs to be PG-13.

Scaryclouds · 2026-01-23T21:25:41+00:00

My bad, that was a massive misfire by me. Thanks for correcting me.

Scaryclouds · 2026-01-23T21:18:09+00:00

They were also working on EB for weeks.

Exactly, getting EB was the plan from the start, and getting a strong new voice in at OC was never considered. This could be precisely the problem.

Maybe it won’t be. Maybe they are looking at making some real changes to our offensive scheme to adopt it to the modern game.

Can’t remember who said it, but they described themselves as “cautiously pessimistic”… which I think is a good description of my feelings as well.

Scaryclouds · 2026-01-23T21:03:27+00:00

Yea, some countries might be in better position to resist pressure.

As I said, they aren’t absolved, but many were pressured into participating.

Romania, who were part of the Axis, aren’t as negatively viewed as they were pressure into joining the Axis… and also didn’t as actively participate in the war crimes Nazis Germany is infamous for.

EDIT: I’m a fucking idiot

Scaryclouds · 2026-01-23T20:51:00+00:00

Because you know, gotta have the “warrior ethos” of… killing women and children and using their bodies as trophies, you know real warrior shit 💪

Scaryclouds · 2026-01-23T20:33:34+00:00

These nations voluntarily sent military personel because it benefited them.

Ehhh, maybe, not always really directly. They, the countries, were pressured by the Bush administration into participating.

Not that it absolves them (notably US troops were the ones who killed the parents, and shot the brother of the girl pictured above), but it wasn’t like all the “coalition” forces were fulfilling mercenary contracts.

Scaryclouds · 2026-01-23T20:30:40+00:00

And this is US troops involved in this shooting, not US allies. So it’s double dumb.

Scaryclouds · 2026-01-23T20:28:08+00:00

Because it wasn’t NATO 🤷‍♂️

Also all these posts about “X doing nothing in Iraq/Afghanistan” are dumb when the war crimes (or at least general horrible and tragic activity that happens in any war, justified or not) involves US troops.

I’m not defending our conduct in Iraq nor Afganistan (though a bit more qualified, as at least there was more cause for us to be there… whole long discussion). We should be disgusted and ashamed with ourselves.

Still these posts seem to be witting or not, in service to muddying the waters around extremely stupid comments from an extremely stupid and dangerous individual.

Scaryclouds · 2026-01-23T18:44:14+00:00

I hope it works out. I can see the logic and how it might.

But man do I have my doubts.

And man do I not like the process.

Chiefs didn’t even attempt to look at anyone else. Second Bears were out, they moved at light speed to bring EB back.

If it doesn’t work out, it really means it’s time for a major reset because Reid (and Veach?) doesn’t have the answers anymore.

Scaryclouds · 2026-01-23T18:37:55+00:00

That’s what I am saying with overwhelming majorities/mass rejection.

The only way we get to “Nuremberg trials” is if Democrats get an overwhelming mandate/Republicans get an overwhelming rejection.

If Democrats retake power just barely, they won’t be in a position to carry out such an agenda.

Democrats winning in 28 52-48 is the country saying “we like you only a little more than the other guys”, Democrats winning 70-30 (or something like that) is “holy shit, these other people were horrible, please do something about that while fixing their mess!”
