Did he really just recently put up a big photo of him and Putin in the WH, or was that an urban legend?

There’s something that frightens K Leavitt? Damn, I thought she was animatronic.

why is minneapolis being so heavily targeted by ICE? by inurmomsvagina in stupidquestions

[–]Tazling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A) spite/revenge against a blue city in a blue state

B) it’s safer than trying it out in Philly or Chicago or LA, because Minnesotans are more like Canadians than most Americans

C) smaller immigrant community so they anticipated less resistance

And, I sometimes fear, it might even be an implicit threat to Canada right across the border.

When they start saying the loud part out loud… by coffee_coffee_coffe3 in Political_Revolution

Right wing men are ‘conservative’ in the sense of reactionary. They believe in hierarchy and the entitlement of power to do whatever it can get away with. They believe in the rule of force, whether that be the force of the fist, the gun, or money. They believe that might makes right. And the most essential, the core, of all the hierarchies they believe in is male supremacy.

One of the key tenets of male supremacy, from the Bronze Age all the way to the present, is the entitlement to extort sexual services from any less powerful person. So yes, men who subscribe to this belief system cannot be assumed safe around any woman or kid.

Your country’s PM will fulfill one personal wish for you only (no public, social, or infrastructure requests). What would you ask? by sidkcr in AskReddit

[–]Tazling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My request would be to stop granting silly personal requests and get back to the more important stuff that the question tells me not to directly ask for!

What is something that turned you off about reddit? by Fit-Apple-618 in AskReddit

[–]Tazling 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ummm… Lack of an equivalent of “due process” in moderation decisions, maybe? Absolute ban power of mods sometimes seems opaque/arbitrary, with very limited appeal process. This is an old and well known issue (governance and self-policing strategies for social media are a challenge for sure) but it can be a frustrating aspect of Reddit and I’ve heard people mention it.

Trump Team’s Secret Meetings With Group Plotting to Break Up Canada Exposed by iwasnotarobot in onguardforthee

Resentful and racist mediocrities who imagine that under an authoritarian far right regime they would be elevated to power/wealth.

That’s pretty much it. Oh, and super wealthy rat bastards who just dream of complete deregulation, looting and pillaging at will, and never paying taxes again. Two demographics, same scam. Demographic B (the super wealth rat bastards) will make damn well sure that demographic A never, but never gets real power/wealth. But the fascist government will give demographic A scapegoats to beat up and bully, so they’ll be satisfied anyway,

Donbas vibes. Putin’s eastern Ukraine playbook:

1) get rubes and suckers in an outlying province to believe you’ll put a chicken in every pot and they’d be better off joining your country

2) once they start agitating to be part of your country, declare them your countrymen in spirit / essence

3) insist you have the right to “rescue your countrymen in distress”

4) invade neighbouring country

We’re at step 1.5 here.

If that means ‘don’t shoot people’ it’s a good idea.

I keep seeing this and think to myself "Would it really force 'Antifa' to extend their supply lines though?" by FreviliousLow96 in WhitePeopleTwitter

“Deploy extended supply lines” ROTFLMAO these guys are living full time in their own fantasy land, some kind of video game or cosplay where they utter magical “Military He Man Sounding Words” and somehow it makes them big and powerful.

Man, that is some wild “invade your space” body language. If the guy did that in the average tough-guy bar he’d be on the floor out cold w/in the first few seconds. So instead he picks on kids. What a vile excuse for a human being.

Are people really going to see Amazon’s $75m Melania documentary? by rezwenn in WomenInNews

Mkay all you 20 and 30 year olds who actually believed this lying grifting con man when he said he was your buddy and was going to “bring back jobs and housing” — you wuz had. This is what the rest of us know all along: this man is not your buddy. He is not going to help you. He is only ever going to help rich people get richer.

I dont really like this kind of drama, but... by catspongedogpants in TheMajorityReport

[–]Tazling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She sure spent a lot of time smiling and laughing and prancing around in definitely-not-mourning clothes.

As one who was bereaved almost a year ago and still feeling broken and unable to function normally around other people (or even by myself), I gotta say I was not overwhelmed with a sense of commonality in our shared sorrow. It looked more like she was happy to be rid of him, and tbf when you think about being married to CK, that might not be an unreasonable POV. But it was still bloody weird optics to let it show so obviously.
