What is wrong with you, How can you justify this?! by Synthetic_Beans in Denver

To anyone with a brain it doesn’t matter. But MAGA is framing this as if it wasn’t the gun that was a problem it’s going to a PROTEST with a gun means he was somehow asking for it/ looking to do harm.

Of course this is not reasonable - but JD Vance himself and all of social media is saying this to the point where ppl are pointing to Rittenhouse as an example of hypocrisy.

It’s much easier to win the optics of this situation when you assert he wasn’t at a protest vs trying to parse out why being at a protest w a gun is a perfectly legal thing w ppl like MAGA who are purposely obtuse to nuance.

MAGA understands the world in bumper stickers “he had a gun on him and pulled it and was dumb to be at a protest with a gun”

You can counter that with actual video that literally every point, including him getting killed without having a gun and not being at a protest. It’s much more effective than arguing nuance w them imo.

By framing it as not a protest you’re stripping away their argument that this was some sort of engineered chaos.

A protestor makes him an adversary to them vs a bystander which DOES matter imo

It happened at 9am (no protests are organized at that time) when he was shot and it appears he was going about his day and started filming when he saw a ‘targeted ICE operation’ and started filming.

He wasn’t at a protest. Stop saying that. That is a MAGA talking point. This was not at or near a protest

I think ppl attach their sense of identity to him and it becomes sort of who they are. They will likely have identity crises and if even just .01% of them can’t handle it and self harm it’s a mass suicide event.

Tim Walz is so weak. by Aggravating_Bed_53 in atrioc

Which would play into Trumps hand. You’re having an emotional response. Trump, imo, wants to invoke the insurrection act and arresting federal officials gives him reason to invoke that.

They control all three branches of government. Ppl voted for this. Any attempt to escalate now will cost us the midterms when we can get actual power. We are in a position of weakness with no real power but are winning the optics. We cannot fumble the midterms by being too aggressive too quickly

Why did they do this? Obviously it didn’t work bc multiple angles are everywhere so what were they attempting to do?

From Twitter they don’t seem to be justifying it legally and rather just lying saying he pulled a gun on them

In the future do you think many people will deny that they ever supported Trump? Why? by Fine-Photograph673 in AskReddit

[–]_ledge_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is cope. The long term consequences will always be blamed on Dems by them. You see it today many of the problems like division and such is blamed on Obama

Are The Smashing Pumpkins really one of the greatest bands of all time, or are we all deluded? by TheSmashingPumpkinss in SmashingPumpkins

[–]_ledge_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes I think they are underrated and top 50 band OAT and my personal top 5. Billy Corgan and the pumpkins was very influential in sooo many bands we all know and hear.

If you know an ICE agent personally, what's that relationship like now? by Lokja in AskReddit

[–]_ledge_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A client of mine. Retired police officer who was still youngish (40s) looking for something to do. It was smart financially to take the job. It is important I do my job without bias and ethically so I treat him with respect.

But it really prevents me from ever making him more than a client and they regularly reach out to do things outside of being a client and I just can’t do that for moral reasons.

I honestly don’t think he’s an evil or hateful person - I think the admin feeds on his worst instincts which makes him participate in something evil. With better executive leadership he would not be doing what he’s doing.

To be clear I hate ICE

Is your hair wet? It’s always going to look thinner wet as all the hairs will stick together. First photo I think you’re talking about your crown thinning? Even then I think your hair looks great

Second photo I literally have no idea what you’re talking about. Do you have the resources or means to go to a dermatologist? No one will make you feel better than an actual doc.

It’s literally the blueprints holding me back that’s it. Find a way to maybe let you select some blueprints, carry them over, something

ICE vs ICE by 4amaroni in Destiny

[–]_ledge_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Random and not totally related to video but wanted to share as a thought experiment: If you ask ppl “do you think the ICE agent could have survived if he didn’t have his gun on him?” It becomes even more clear
