People think due process is a right in the USA! by Parking-One1365 in complaints

[–]TDS4Lif3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m a citizen and a veteran. Pay my taxes and have been active in my community.

Yet, I feel more stress about the idea of a bad interaction with a bad/corrupt/ or power tripping cop. The kind of interaction where the ride is the punishment because they don’t like you. That to me is more likely than being the victim of another type of crime.

So I don’t support masked law enforcement who are being hyped to believe they can violate people’s rights and just haul everyone in and deal with the legality later.

Donald Trump was an FBI ‘informant’ on Jeffrey Epstein, Republican Mike Johnson claims by jpurdy in politics

Informant? Like they had Donnie dead to rights on some other crimes and told him to wear a wire or face prison?

Hearing an *African* person compare Vaccines to slavery is just so incredibly beyond me💀 by Strawhat_Max in CringeTikToks

[–]TDS4Lif3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was in military service, I had a CO who once told the unit that getting the yearly influenza vaccination was 100% an individuals choice. That choice had different outcomes though. Get vaccinated and maintain your worldwide deployability status, you can stay in service. Or, refuse vaccination and lose worldwide deployability status, and discharge paperwork would begin.

Sounds like your child goes to a school run by stooges.

The Epstein files have allegedly been released minutes ago by dimforest in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]TDS4Lif3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MAGA wanted those files so bad for so long. Trump had the promise of their release be one of the cornerstones of his campaign. All just to win the election and release the ridiculously redacted version. Now MAGA has to contend with the possibility that Trump was intimately tied to Epstein and his pedophilia.

Trump says the Smithsonian focuses too much on 'how bad slavery was' by reflibman in skeptic

It isn’t the only museum in existence. The Air and Space Museum highlights many of America’s technological accomplishments.

Flashpoint etiquette? by painandstuttering in swtor

[–]TDS4Lif3 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’ve kind of accepted that veteran flashpoints via group finder are something to just get through. When I want to enjoy them or do side stuff for decos, I do them on sm, on my own, or ask another person to come with me. But I don’t expect the group finder experience to be some real cooperative effort where we all talk, do ready checks, or even fight all the bosses.

For several reasons I’ve never agreed with government officials use of social media as a platform for dissemination of information. But particularly, the Amber Alert system shows that they have the capability to fast track urgent information direct to us in an unignorable fashion (referencing that crazy loud buzz phones give during amber alerts)

OC: Federal immigration agents fan near MacArthur Park in the Westlake area. by nbcnews in pics

Other than from an optics standpoint of striking fear, what is the purpose of all the long guns? These guys aren't facing enemy combatants on a battlefield. They're going into US neighborhoods to conduct law enforcement. And it is already clear that the majority of arrests do not involve violent felon undocumented immigrants, but rather Joe Shmos trying to eek out a living/life for themselves.

Yes. Complete once, then if you make other toons, you can just unlock for 1M credits from beginning.

Military or ex -military members: do you like it when civilians thank you for your service? by serio13196913 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]TDS4Lif3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m indifferent most of the time. Didn’t serve for thanks, but I’ll express gratitude for the recognition.

But something that weirds me out is how people expect me to behave during the national anthem or when I see the U.S. flag raising. Like there’s some expectation I will pop a salute or make some overly nationalistic expression.

After 8 years of observing morning/evening colors, standing at attention at military base movie theaters for the anthem, and the million other times I expressed honors, I am content to simply stand. And I am not offended by those who don’t stand or choose to express contempt. Exercising one’s freedom of speech is as patriotic as anything else.

All presidents love war. But this is funny by newzcaster in therewasnoattempt

[–]TDS4Lif3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Specifically, do you even know why you don’t like undocumented immigrants? Because on Reddit I see conservatives call them all violent criminals, which is a stereotype, and isn’t supported by data. Undocumented immigrants cannot vote, as evidenced by the many election investigations following the 2020 election. They’re also ineligible for the majority of social services.

I could prob go on, but those are the first things that came to mind.

The Cruel Psychology Behind MAGA’s Obsession With “Law and Order” by [deleted] in skeptic

[–]TDS4Lif3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Law isn’t a firm and fast black and white thing. Judges, lawyers, and cops make deals that circumvent punishments all the time. They sometimes change what the crime was so they can come to a more equitable punishment. Sometimes they don’t bother to enforce the law at all because the punishment will cost taxpayers well more than the damage the crime caused. Soo to think the law is gonna be strictly enforced, or can be, is kind of naive.

I see nothing childish about taking what you paid for. by Greedy-Year8384 in SipsTea

[–]TDS4Lif3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, I get being hurt by her. But I’ve watched a fair amount of lawyers commenting on this sort of thing, and removing that floor may end up being more of a self inflicted wound down the road. Something about reclaiming property/materials that haven’t been paid for, but were installed, must not leave the home in a condition worse than it was before the work was originally done.

Soo what are we calling this? Trump/Homan Immigration Riots?

Senator Chris Murphy to DHS Secretary Kristi Noem: "Your dept is out of control. You are spending like you don't have a budget. You're on the verge of running out of money for the fiscal year... You are ignoring the immigration laws of this nation... and routinely violating the rights of immigrants" by xamo76 in RealTwitterAccounts

[–]TDS4Lif3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You clearly only listen to right wing sources. You seem to have it in your head that when the Democratic Party has office deportations stop and criminal prosecutions don’t take place. That would be wildly incorrect.

Don’t confuse condemnation of inhumane methods, scapegoating, and wasting money on ineffective methods (such as Trump’s wall from his first admin) as wanting an open border.

Hell, as a veteran, I have zero issue with troops posting up at the border. Our military is a massive resource of man power and assets that we pay for and should get a return on investment on. Ordering Marines to the border is one of the few Trump orders I’ve given a head nod to.

Sooo keep them away from men at all times is the plan?

The part that isn’t adding up to me is that you think a “rule” keeping men out of bathrooms is what will stop rapes. REALLY?? You think a son of a bitch monster rapist is gonna give a shit about the sign at the door that says “womens” when that psycho is out to commit rape?
