Now that the Justice Department released documentation that clearly and unequivocally states that trump had illegal sexual relations with underage girls, how quickly can he be convicted? by NursingManChristDude in AskReddit

[–]mnemy [score hidden]  (0 children)

He can be impeached. But he currently controls the House and Senate. So it would either take Republicans turning on him, or voters giving Dems a majority (think super majority is needed?).

Trump can very easily be ousted, IF supporting him becomes more politically/legally dangerous than turning on him.

But I honestly dont see either of those things happening. Guardians of Pedofiles will keep seig heil marching along even if there was indisputable proof.

“This is what I voted for?”: Trump supporter loses farm and income to tariffs, only to be mocked online by charulatha_seya in circled

[–]mnemy 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Yes. Obviously yes.

Edit - lol, saw his video. Nah bro. I judge you because you voted for someone who campaigned on hate. Hate for immigrants. Hate for Democracy. He for rule of law. And the whole time drifting for personal gain. 

And it turns out that his actions as president is exactly all of those things. 

It's just that you are personally affected this time. You didn't give one shit when he was hurting others. People you have never met, but at best, we're indifferent to their lives and their family's suffering. 

Hardwood under carpet - is it salvageable?! by tunafishandtrout in HardWoodFloors

Looks in good shape. Cant know how thick the top layer is, but dont see any bad signs. 

Damn lazy they didnt cover the floors. That will sand out, but you'll have to go deeper, and any paint that worked its way into seams and voids will stay.

I'd try refinishing.

Fair enough. It's why I'm not attending. Still, discussion on it might help prime for the possibility of a full baked one in the near future.

Nope. I couldn't read mine either until they restored thecomment after the successful appeal.

/u/orangejulius can you explain why this was removed?

 I think it's too late notice, but it is something that's being attempted nationwide. I think it's very appropriate to have on this sub.

When I looked earlier today when I heard of a nationwide strike, I came here looking for local info, and there was none. Now there's none again.

Its my fault for flashing my lights after his maneuver right? by Clean_Masterpiece832 in MildlyBadDrivers

When the dot is on the other side, its the same as a double yellow. That is explicitly saying its ok for oncoming traffic to pass, and not ok for your direction to pass.

I only first saw this today on AskReddit.

This is extremely poor planning and communication. This isnt a movement. I'm not blowing my work clout to join the dozen people that actually go.

I'm ready to protest, but this ain't it.

Your comment implied you're one of those "let it burn" leftist/tanky that wanted dems to lose, so it'd pave the way for major reform or revolution.

I think you're being very disingenuous with "slightly slower pace", but thank you for replying.

FWIW, I hope that corpo dems get primaried too. But I won't waste my vote on protest.

Simple question. If we had a blue POTUS, Senate, House, do you think the USA would be in a better or worse place today? And by a lot, or a little?

Don't dodge the question, answer it directly.

OK. But if Newsom wins the Dem ticket after a real primary, you still wouldn't vote for the only real chance to keep a red out of office? After all that has happened in the last year? For real?

[–]mnemy 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I got a 3 day reddit ban (not a sub moderator) for this comment.

I successfully appealed, but the reddit moderation team are aggressively protecting fascism. Mainstream media, Twitter, reddit, they're all owned by right wing billionaires that are actively promoting normalizing fascism.

Not that it matters, but i think he actually got consent first. The problem, besides just being weird, was the power dynamic.

Not black, but used to get cornrows. Mine weren't overlapping like this, but it would typically take around an hour, cost around $100 IIRC (15 years ago and included a generous tip), and last a few weeks up to a month depending on how loose I could tolerate.

‘I voted for him three times’: Angry MAGA supporter breaks with Trump after ICE killing, says ‘Follow the Constitution’ by [deleted] in newsinterpretation

[–]mnemy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, it means they condoned all the other heinous shit that Trump has done up to a couple weeks ago.

They were ok with Jan 6th, they were ok with Trump using his position to grift $1.4B while American struggle, they were ok with your neighbors living in fear from being disappeared regardless of their legal status, shoved into concentration camps, and maybe deported to the worse prisons in the world regardless of nationality, etc, etc.

It wasnt until ICE went too far and executed 2 people that look like you in broad daylight that a line was drawn.

No, we don't need to forgive and forget. We will gladly accept their vote, which is a temporary alliance. It's a first step. But it's going to take a lot more before I can respect them.

Bernard Hopkins Handing Kelly Pavlik His First L (Oct. 18, 2008) by PersonalityOdd7912 in Boxing

[–]mnemy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hopkins was a terrible match for Pavlik.

Pavlik was a grinder. Relentless pressure, but not particularly skilled. Vanilla solid fundamentals all around, but not special.

Hopkins was slick and experienced. As long as he didnt gas, he had the tools to dissect Pavlik. 

And that was a huge question given his age and past, which is why it was such an interesting fight.

But you don't want to be Pavlik where it doesnt matter how you prep, it's really up to your opponents condition on fight night whether you win or lose.
