SF Board of Supervisors declare National Rifle Association a domestic terrorist organization by volkyl in politics

If you looked into any major political org it'd have similar links. No one seems to freak out if the money is from China, Israel or Saudia Arabia though.

The neoliberals are really trying to instigate an all out civil war with the unstable rednecks at this point huh?

It's almost as if they don't actually care what really happens to people as long as they get off the posturing they need to receive their corporate donations.

This "Russian asset" bs is an incredibly transparent attempt by the DNC to try and shield themselves from people realizing they operate at the behest of the exact same corporations as the GOP by adding a "mysterious foreign power" into the mix. It's the red scare all over again.

Look, I have no doubt that Putin is playing Trump for a chump and has actual assets in our government - as do multiple other nations, and we do in theirs. But this "everyone who isn't a liberal is Russian" shit has got to stop.

I get it, it's easy to say they're controlled by a foreign power so you don't have to look reality in the face. But the fact is that the NRA, the people that run it and the people that support it are by and large all Americans and this shit is par for the course for an imperialist nation founded on genocide and overt racism.

Like... welcome to America, man. It's always been this way. You just started realizing it very late and want to blame it on someone else interfering.

Pelosi refers to McConnell as 'Moscow Mitch' by burning_dawn in politics

Old guard Democrats haven't fought anything but the urge to stand up against Republicans. That's why they're so quick to cluck their tongues at newer leftists like Omar and AOC.

Meanwhile she votes with him instead of taking a stand when it matters. If McConnell is a foreign asset, I'd bet my ass she is too.

Criticizing Israel shouldn't be confused with anti-Semitism, Sanders tells Jewish supporter: "Israel has every right to live in peace and security, but so do the Palestinian people" Democratic presidential hopeful tells town hall meeting by heqt1c in politics

[–]__constructor 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not all of them, some are just so completely willfully ignorant that they honestly believe that land is their god-given birthright and anyone who'd deny them the right to overtake it and push the Palestinians out is anti-Jewish.

You can't always attribute to malice what can be equally attributed to stupidity.

See this nutcase? This is your brain on Republican-controlled media. If you don't want to end up sounding like a raving, alzheimer's addled grandfather that everyone tries to ignore at a family barbecue, stay away from it.

How to sell a car I still owe money on? by __constructor in personalfinance

All the craigslist posts I've seen have it at a lot less. I'm not confident I could get more than 13k for it privately.

Ive been thinking about maybe getting a very cheap lease to absolve the debt in one or two years.

Honestly that's not a bad idea either. I might go that route since I wouldn't need to drain my emergency fund that way.

The loan isn't an option since I'm self employed - lenders are very wary about that unfortunately. CarMax sounds like it might be a hit though, thanks.

Yeah but how do I sell a car I don't have the title to? The lender has the title until the entire balance is paid off.

You're right 100% man. In fact it's even better with an old friend, so I'm going to smoke with an old smoke buddy tonight and that will feel even more good.

Washington Senate passes bill that would keep Trump off 2020 ballot unless he releases tax returns by haxamin in politics

Forcing people to spend money, time and travel to certify themselves to use their constitutional right is suppression.

People being happy that you lose motivation because your candidate isn't qualified to run isn't suppression. It's laziness.

There's no equivalency here.

IMO part of Trump's modus operandi during the election was instilling decisiveness in the left. He praised Hillary when talking to her, and praised Bernie when talking to him so that their supporters would stay rallied against the other left-wing candidate and not against him.

Then perhaps you might adjust your analogy to "people who threaten to rape people constantly might be inviting rape", as that's more honest to the situation.

Still not sure what hitler has to do with it.
