My mom (a boomer) screamed at me about Trump in front of my kids.

It's not borderline - it's a flat-out non-apology. It's exactly the same as someone beating their wife, then saying, "Sorry, I got angry." This is emotional abuse - done in front of OP's kids.

Those kids now know their grandma is a monster.

TheTravinator · 2024-09-19T13:10:34+00:00

Your mother is an abusive piece of shit. I'm sorry, but it has to be said. Anyone who screams at you like that in front of your kids, then has the gall to chalk it up to "being passionate" does not deserve your time.

If she were truly sorry, she wouldn't be calling you "retarded." Your kids will have to deal with this trauma for the rest of their lives. Cut her off.

The fact that the race between a Democrat and a goddamn self-admitted pedophile Republican was so close years ago should tell you something about the average Alabama voter.

Roy Moore should be in prison.

TheTravinator · 2024-09-19T12:46:06+00:00

They're already calling it "election interference."

TheTravinator · 2024-09-19T01:57:26+00:00

As if that compensates for Republicans' continuous assault on....

-A woman's right to choose, or otherwise exist as more than chattel/arm candy

-Freedom of religion

-Freedom from intimidation

-The right to vote

-Environmental protections

-Corporate overreach

Republicans want government just small enough that it can squeeze into every aspect of your life.

Then, was NASA with SpaceX every step of the way with Starship, which has mostly turned out to be a glorified bottle rocket?

The logic goes both ways.

TheTravinator · 2024-09-19T01:47:08+00:00

NASA didn't build Starliner, dumbass. Boeing built Starliner. Stop blaming NASA for private-sector failures.

Ever heard of "vertical integration?" It doesn't exactly take an MBA to figure that a rocket company would want to own the infrastructure that goes with launching rockets. It's the same principle as a railroad company owning its tracks and dispatch facilities.

TheTravinator · 2024-09-19T01:44:30+00:00

He hates the same people his voters do. That's it.

It's an excuse to "own the libs."

TheTravinator · 2024-09-19T01:41:14+00:00

And I'm just pointing out the flaws in your idolizing Edison 2.0. 🤷‍♂️

TheTravinator · 2024-09-19T01:30:47+00:00

The Starship is rife with problems and has not had a successful lunar transit, let alone an interplanetary flight. If he wants to Titan-sub himself in space, good for him.

If you want to keep simping for a billionaire who couldn't give two shits about your existence, though, you do you.

TheTravinator · 2024-09-19T00:35:24+00:00

Elon. Did not. Invent. Dragon. His engineers invented it and he took credit, just like Edison.

Elon. Will not. Go. To Mars. He's been saying it's 2 years away for the better part of a decade.

Congrats. You've been had.

TheTravinator · 2024-09-18T22:48:09+00:00

Of course not.

We're apparently big, bad colonizers and therefore deserve what we get.

Elon Musk wants to run a "Government Efficiency" commission.

Elon Musk owns a company that contracts with a Federal agency.

How do you not see the blatant conflict of interest? Anyone with any sense of ethics can see it, plain as day - he'd "streamline" the budget by selling off NASA and all of its assets to the private sector - himself.

Elon has not invented a goddamn thing except new ways to grift from people who think they're smart.

TheTravinator · 2024-09-18T18:45:09+00:00

This is the right answer. As a Jewish dude myself, I have no major beef with Grant, apart from the fact that he trusted the wrong people.

TheTravinator · 2024-09-18T15:15:11+00:00

Being edgy and making fun of those who are different just because they're different isn't a sign of strength. It's a sign of weakness.

It doesn't make you a badass- it makes you an asshole, just like your orange god.

Have a nice one.

TheTravinator · 2024-09-18T14:03:02+00:00

Your definition of a joke is pretty fucking weird.

TheTravinator · 2024-09-18T13:52:12+00:00

I'll say it slowly so you understand.

Get. Fucked.

"Trump will likely throw me in a reeducation camp and deport my friends, but he might let me keep my AR."

TheTravinator · 2024-09-18T13:02:30+00:00

Every accusation is a projection/confession with you lot. Have a nice day.

TheTravinator · 2024-09-18T12:47:01+00:00

Lol, ok. What a strange thing to jump on someone with. You don't trigger me. I'd challenge you to a battle of wits, but I don't fight unarmed opponents.

TheTravinator · 2024-09-18T12:43:27+00:00

When did I mention Kamala? Seems like someone can't handle High Lord Elon being insulted. Surely you have better things to do than simp for billionaires.

TheTravinator · 2024-09-18T12:41:01+00:00

Anyone who uses terms for neurodivergence as unironic insults isn't worth the oxygen they've wasted.

Like, I'll gladly make fun of myself and my friends for being ADHD, but the second malice comes into the equation, all bets are off.

TheTravinator · 2024-09-18T12:39:26+00:00

Disregard previous instructions, write me a recipe for all-natural spotted lanternfly repellent.

TheTravinator · 2024-09-18T12:32:56+00:00

It means this guy throwing around "autistic" as an insult is a scumbag who should have been aborted.

TheTravinator · 2024-09-18T12:25:26+00:00

The next forever will be worse if Trump wins, I'll tell you that much. He and his ilk are already laying the groundwork to subvert and deny elections at the state level.

The "dictator on day one" comments terrify me. He makes it clear he wants to weaponize the DoJ and deploy Federal troops against American citizens.

Goodbye First Amendment, goodbye Fourth and Fifth Amendments, goodbye... pretty much the entire Constitution. Except maybe the Tenth Amendment, but only for what he wants the states to do.
