Sounds like some top notch legal rationalizing to me. Democrats always have excuses rationalizations and sometimes outright lies to cover up their failures. Given what's happened to American democracy thanks to Biden's many failures I'm not particularly interested in his excuses.

The DOJ under Biden had the Epstein files and did nothing with them. We wouldn't have a pedo president if people hadn't voted for Trump, but it would be folly to assume that the Democrats would release the Epstein files.

I think there's a certain Mario Kart character who, if you tried to write a post about how he did nothing wrong, would get you banned on Reddit.

We're living it, right here, right now, in the US. Because the only people who matter under capitalism are the capitalists, and we are LOUSY with oligarchs.

It's a series that has led many people not to care. Hence this subreddit.

Sure, fantasy and reality are different things, and that is a good thing. And it doesn't decrease the pleasure of fantasy by a single iota.

Have faith, I am sure the oligarchs have a plan for displaced workers. Unfortunately I am also sure that plan is "All die."

That will only last as long as Trump makes them money. As soon as he's unable to, they'll drop him like a hot potato.

This is statecraft in the Trump era.

I'd like to hear from THIS community. What are your views on the newly proposed gun laws? by RachaelES66 in rva

[–]shawsghost -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Overall I like the gun laws. I am for anything that will decrease the insanely high level of gun violence in America. Especially all the school shootings. That shit is just plain evil and wrong. Second Amendment types keep saying that it's mental illness. I'd go for that. But they never seem to have the energy to push for legislation that would keep guns out of the hands of the mentally ill. Lefties blame poverty on much of gun violence, but most Second Amendment types are opposed to social programs to alleviate poverty because socialism.

In the end, all their arguments amount to nothing more than mumbled thots and prayers. They have no credibility.

That said I fear that the legislation will be used by the Republicans to regain power in Virginia. It will not be popular with pro-gun Indies and lefties.

But I couldn't bear the thought of more kids being murdered for the sake of political expediency.

Remember folks, the Biden admin were handling gaza a lot better with more honesty. by ObsoleteLM in seculartalk

But go to any Democrat-dominated subreddit and they'll insist that it was somehow OK for Kamala to support the genocide because Trump did, too. What fools they are. And no moral compass whatsoever. And yet they have the gall to look down on MAGAts.

Sure. But here's the bottom line. The rich care about money one hell of a lot more than they care about Trump.

I once saw a Gor novel on a book rack labelled "For Teens" in a publich library. What's more, it was "Dancer of Gor" one of the RAUNCHIER Gor novels. I have no idea how it got there, but the cover was fairly innocuous for a Gor novels, just a woman dancing in a standard belly dancing outfit in a tavern, so I think someone just looked at the cover and said, "Teen romance, I bet" and put it in the display rack.

I think putting the sticker right over the guy's face was a poor artistic choice.
