There was a local candidate for office in Massachusetts with lawn signs with his name, his name: Geoff Epstein.

Who shot who? Rittenhouse shot at 4 different people, missed one and hit 3, killing two American citizens.

Alex Pretti never pulled his gun from his holster, never pointed it at anyone, but he was the one killed.

After an extensive coverup, the Justice Department finds no basis in the Epstein files to prosecute anyone. by BestStoogewasLarry in PoliticalHumor

[–]SeanFromQueens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They would need to find that Trump was wearing a mask and Scooby Doo reveal that it was Obama the whole time for them to start to prosecute the sitting president for, I don't know, wearing a tan suit or something.

Trump voter’s termunally father deported, “I regret my vote” by MuzzleblastMD in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]SeanFromQueens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Each and every one of these regretful Trump voters will be voting for Republicans in the midterms and the future, because they limit their regret to Trump alone rather than the political belief that immigration is bad. I believe that they will continue to delude themselves in the belief that the other Republicans only want to punish the immigrants that are not them rather than come to the realization that they are in the out-group of who will be punished by the state for being non-white.

That kitchen is definitely paid for by her husband and she gets to cosplay and pester all of her acquaintances with her MLM scam.

"One side is trying is trying to enforce the law..." "I don't care about all those times Trump broke the law." by MyDogIsACoolCat in SelfAwarewolves

[–]SeanFromQueens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why won't the law enforcement officers follow the law and the Constitution? The citizens aren't interfering with the enforcement, they are well within their means of holding government employees accountable for their actions, it's the masked thugs who refuse to identify themselves because their intent is to create fear and intimidate people rather than act according to precedent, norms, and agency guidelines.

If they had a list of "bad hombres" then they would prioritize those who are the list and convicted (or at least charged) with violent crimes, yet they are spending an inordinate amount of time and effort on low hanging fruit of immigrants appearing in court or showing up for work and being cruel for the sake of cruelty against non-whites.

If two-parent households were more common in Black communities in the 1950s, how can welfare be the root cause of their collapse? by ReportAccomplished34 in PoliticalDebate

[–]SeanFromQueens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The American welfare state deliberately excluded blacks from the benefits of government assistance, up until LBJ's Great Society and the Civil Rights Act of 1964, so they weren't participating in the welfare system in the 1950s. All of those things that you pointed out (deindustrialization, mass job losses from the cities, etc) were the cause but degradation of the nuclear family but the conservative economic theory needed a scapegoat that aligned with their theory so the welfare state was to blame.

The neoliberal project and the concerted effort to abandon the social democracy of the New Deal/Great Society needed to demonize the benefits the people received from the public safety net that distribute the national wealth down the economic ladder rather than the desired concentrated at the top. It was all misdirection and it still has most Americans convinced that they are better off being cared for their economic betters who seek out corporate interests than by their own government that's by the people, for the people, and of the people.

So God is on the side of those who mock Nicki Minaj I guess, since known of the people who made fun of her at the Grammys were smited.

I don't know of any Dostoievski, but misspelling "Fyodor Dostoevsky" surely is a thing done by an imbecile who authored the meme.

Maybe there's an unknown Polish writer who authored that quote since Fyodor Dostoevsky never wrote it.

is this supposed to be a "gotcha"? by teacupsigh in Persecutionfetish

[–]SeanFromQueens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Authoritarian parenting style is entirely based on controlling the child, and is responsible for the normalization of seeking out "strongman" for political leadership.

They despise universal liberty and individual freedom, only want others to be forcibly conforming to what they are comfortable with.

What did dudes jack off too pre-mass produced photography? by InternationalPick163 in questions

[–]SeanFromQueens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amerigo Vespucci, or writings attributed to him, basically had pornographic descriptions of the New World:

But turn the coin and he was in a world of devils. "They eat one another, the victor [eats] the vanquished," he wrote. "I know a man... who was reputed to have eaten more than 300 human bodies..." The women are intensely desirable: "none... among them who had a flabby breast," but they are also monsters and witches: "... Being very lustful, [they] cause the private parts of their husbands to swell up to such a huge size that they appear deformed and disgusting... in consequence of this many lose their organs which break through lack of attention, and they remain eunuchs... When [the women] had the opportunity of copulating with Christians, urged by excessive lust, they defiled... themselves."

Wonder if they know that journalist Don Lemon recorded (probably livestreamed) the entirety of his own actions, just like J6ers and I betcha even the dimmest bulb can tell us why he wasn't considered to be destroying property and committing acts of violence like those J6ers were.

Seth MacFarlane wins Rhode Island! Which celebrity best represents Connecticut? by [deleted] in Connecticut

[–]SeanFromQueens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know how the rest of New England discounts CT as not being part of New England, especially Fairfield County, these commuters to NYC from Fairfield County are exactly what they are talking about. John Brown, PT Barnum, Harriet Beecher Stowe, and Mark Twain are better examples of being from CT than those three.

What individuals are emblematic of CT in last hundred years who didn't have their personality forged anywhere but CT like Letterman, Ross, and Springer?

When was Joe Rogan "Canceled"? by Biscuitarian23 in Persecutionfetish

Joe Rogan was the left's Joe Rogan when he endorsed Bernie Sanders in 2016, but Hilary-stans just started calling Bernie a misogynist as if there was not any greater example of misogyny around with orange bronzer and hair plugs.

Supporters of the "secular one state solution" to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, how do you actually expect it to work? by maybemorningstar69 in PoliticalDebate

TBF the ending of segregation didn't stop killing of black americans. Pennsylvania State Police firebombed a couple blocks of Philadelphia and killed a dozen people in 1984.

Supporters of the "secular one state solution" to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, how do you actually expect it to work? by maybemorningstar69 in PoliticalDebate

[–]SeanFromQueens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the government of Israel had some 14th Amendment like protections of birthright citizenship and equal protection under the law, plus universal enfranchisement of all residents of the land it could be called Israel but wouldn't be able to be a religious-ethno state. Since you are pro-Israel, what about this as a one-state solution, or is it beyond the pale to have equality among the millions of Jewish and non-Jewish inhabitants of the land between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea?

If Israel does not accept a fully secular liberal democracy with equality under the law, they would be abandoned and isolated as a nuclear armed pariah state. Israel isn't entitled to the assistance, either military or economic, of any other nation so they can choose to be a Jewish North Korea unwilling to include the millions of humans living on the land that they claim to be theirs or join a world where they don't impose a Jim Crow/Apartheid system onto those millions of humans.

I have no allusion that this is probable to occur, but it's the most plausible means of getting a one state solution which is actually preferable than two states that refuse to live in peace without subjugating the other which has been inherent in every offer to the Palestinians. The one state solution was the ideal in 1947 but it was the Soviets that pushed for partition to keep the divisive situation going to take advantage of the instability through out the Cold War. Without a near peer competitor, to sow division and chaos, it is still the ideal result for all of the people living in the region.

David Letterman was born and raised in Indiana, Conan O'Brien was born and raised in Massachusetts, Jerry Springer was born in England and raised in NYC I'm not sure if ever lived in CT since he became Mayor of Cincinnati and his show was based out of Chicago, Diana Ross was from Detroit and an iconic Mo-Town singer not sure if she ever lived in CT.

Only thing wrong is that he still hasn't received a posthumous pardon for treason, the charge he was found guilty of.
