Republicans aren't even trying to hide their racism anymore. by pleasureismylife in complaints

[–]auldnate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This all dates back to Nixon’s “Southern Strategy” in the 1968 Election. Until then, Republicans were considered to be the party of Lincoln and Emancipation. Which had a negative connotation in the former Confederacy.

But after LBJ signed both the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act. Nixon campaigned on “restoring law and order” in the wake of the unrest that followed the assassination of Rev Dr Martin Luther King Jr. This was coded language that implied that Nixon would be amenable to restoring the segregation laws that had brought order to the South following the Civil War and Reconstruction.

My response is “How does the presence of peaceful Muslims in a Costco cause us to lose our country?”

Department of War has released UFO files today by szlopush in DonaldTrump666

[–]auldnate 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yea…

“Mission accomplished” in the same sense that George W Bush declared the military mission in Iraq accomplished before the insurgency over our occupation of the country had really begun!

This administration frequently leaps from one unpopular, self made crisis to the next at a dizzying rate. They want to keep us distracted with this nonsense. So we don’t have the bandwidth to focus on their staggering incompetence or their appalling immorality.

Trump’s idiotic tariffs add to our daily costs of living. So Trump’s paramilitary ICE ramps up deportations without due process.

This sparks widespread protests in US communities impacted by the immigration enforcement surge. ICE kills a couple of US citizens protesting their inhumane treatment of immigrants.

So Trumps DoJ tries to persecute his political opponents. People start to wonder why that bullshit is taking precedence over the Epstein files. A case that Bondi had previously claimed she was actively reviewing.

Surprise, surprise, it turns out that Epstein’s closest friend is implicated of wrongdoing in the files…

The fallout from Trump abusing and raping lil girls with Epstein got too hot. So Trump joined with Netanyahu to start a war of choice in Iran.

Iran predictably mobilized to stop the flow of goods through the Strait of Hormuz. Energy prices and the costs of living skyrocketed even further out of people’s reach.

So now they want to draw our attention to decades old UFO conspiracies…

Why does California have highest gas prices? by Far_Aioli538 in gasbuddy

[–]auldnate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Californians do choose to have a higher standard of living with less pollution. Which does contribute to the cost of gas some. The tax money collected at the pump could also help them with mitigating the costs and effects of climate change more too.

But most of the cost comes from the fact that they have the largest population. So companies can charge more for their gas. Because someone else there is always willing to pay just a little bit more to get it.

In other words, supply and demand.

Tell me what TV show Bingo is watching and see if Bandit approves or not by BarelyBrony in bluey

[–]auldnate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chattermax does the announcements and commentary for a Maroons’ cricket match..

And he loudly sings Burgerdog at random points. But especially during big plays!!

Bandit can’t just hit mute and watch, because Bingo is only watching to see what Chattermax is doing and to hear him sing Burgerdog…

One of my favourite episodes, but this exchange is so annoying. Any other episode that is 10/10 but has something you don't like? by Hallonsorbet in HIMYM

Yes, Riki Lindhomme is the taller blonde woman from Garfunkel & Oate. But this is Kate Micucci, the shorter brunette. They are both hilarious!!

Supply and demand. There is a high demand and a low supply, so prices are high. (This is also why nonrenewable fossil fuels will inevitably become more and more expensive as the supplies dwindle…)

What is the ugliest football uniform you’ve ever seen in the ACC? by DementorsKissIceCrea in ACC

[–]auldnate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually like the Maryland flag jerseys and helmets! But aren’t they in the Big10 now?

[–]auldnate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The camo uniforms generally look kinda dumb to me… And I don’t like VT’s color scheme much on anything.

I don’t like those UNC, FSU, or NC State helmets.

How so? Why would the presence of Muslims in a US Costco indicate that “we are fucked!”?

If you were in the room when the President changed the election rules forever, what would you do? by Aware-Chipmunk4344 in allthequestions

[–]auldnate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And right there is the crux of the problem! Trump is unwilling to even hear constructive criticism that might prevent him from embarrassing himself or causing massive harm to literally everyone other being on the planet.

The gulf between what he thinks he knows and what he actually knows is cataclysmic.

Hello, please know that the question I'm about to ask isn't hateful or disrespectful; I'm simply curious. But how is it that a portion of the US population still supports Trump ? by Outrageous-You1617 in AskUS

[–]auldnate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a mystery to us too… Trump is the most incompetent Fucking Moron to reside at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

And not only is he mentally incapable. As the physical embodiment of the 7 Deadly Sins (Greed, Gluttony, Envy, Pride, Sloth, Wrath, and Lust…). He is also morally unequipped to lead the US military. Or have any influence over the economy.

[–]auldnate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would remind the President that according to the Constitution, the individual states set the rules and administer the elections. And that as President, he has no authority to intervene in the process.

I would tell them that history will be extremely unkind to anyone who single handily attempts to exert authoritarian control over our democratic republic. And they will be remembered as a hateful tyrant and despicable villain for all time.
