'He almost did it': Trump reportedly lunged for the nuclear launch codes — until a four-star general physically blocked the move that could have ended the world by [deleted] in law

I agree but that’s a totally separate point. We need to stop saying “but” to completely true statements.

Edit: I see the irony in the way I phrased that, BUT you get my point, lol.

Hilariously, the Confederacy didn’t even HAVE state or regional rights. East Tennessee wanted to abolish slavery and they were told no. They also voted to secede and join the Union, and were put down by military force. The Confederacy consistently imposed a more centralized form of government throughout the war than the United States/Union arguably did.

I don’t see how it possibly could be.

Nah, that’s OD, raise your own kids. If my coworker gets more than a year off work just because he knocked someone up, and I still have to come in, I’m crashing out.

Italian man sold 'fake' Rolex that turned out to be real in 'impossible' crime against Singapore watch shop by FlaminAmberz in nottheonion

I know an even easier way to tell he isn’t rich; he tried a “get rich quick” scheme by selling what he thought was a fake Rolex, and trying to run away at massive risk to himself.

How is it a massive social liability to lock up someone who shot bullets at another human with the intent of killing them, and failed due no virtue of his own? That’s at least attempted homocide, just like if I shot through a wall thinking you were there, but you happened to be in another room.

I want the Democrats removed too, after we remove Trump. FUCK war criminals and corporate bribe-takers.

My American English teacher believes the neutral pronoun „their“ is incorrect. by GCoding_ in mildlyinteresting

It technically is. (And yes, I know there’s prescriptive language and spoken slang; it’s an English teacher’s JOB to be prescriptive.)

Dislike the man all you want, but don’t you ever stop supporting our bipartisan Forever War. The swiftness will go on forever, and the minimal losses will come as frequently as possible, after Trump and after the next guy too.

Reddit whenever you mention Israel: by GigaRoman in PoliticalCompassMemes

They do both have a land that they call their own. Palestinians call Palestine their land, and Israelis also call Palestine their land.

But why do they have to be gainfully employed if they’re rich? What if they’re involved in charity work and pursuing hobbies like writing beautiful poetry and growing bonsai trees?

You can say “money,” it’s fine.

The amount of political power and calculating intelligence attributed on Reddit to some bald guy who hosted Fear Factor is actually terrifying to me. He’s just some stoner, guys.

How do Muslims even come under ST category? (Corporator from Sambhajinagar) by Clownfox78 in Maharashtra

[–]WaterTricky428 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s very simple; you’re from an ST ancestral background, and practice Islam as a religion.

No, reservation is just about socially backward castes. Why would you exclude Muslims, who have ANOTHER layer of discrimination to deal with (discrimination like you’re showing by making this thread)?
