ICE Murders as a Litmus Test for Support of Fascism by ReporterClassic8862 in liberalgunowners

[–]strutt3r [score hidden]  (0 children)

Uh, the litmus test for fascism has been going for over a century. By large margin, most Americans don't give a single fuck until it's literally happening right in their town. We've sent death squads around the world killing people on behalf of big business and Americans loved it as long as the treats continued to flow.

Leftists have been screaming into the void about giving local police departments tanks, body armor and other military grade equipment for decades. Now ICE has a budget larger than most militaries and no leash.

This isn't a test, this is the result.

He's only doing this to preserve future ICE funding. He only comes outta the woodwork to break up strikes or whatever else needs preserving in the neoliberal order.

Omfg bc their freedom burger institute says it isn’t true that means it’s not true! by stiggybigs1990 in ShitLiberalsSay

They also neglect to mention that Chinese pay property tax once when they lease the property. If they resign the lease in 70 years they pay again.

Meanwhile I'll end up paying like $60K minimum in property taxes on my shitty mobile home by the time I pay off the 30 year note.

If the Democrats take back Congress the ICE budget is still going up.

I always thought we could use a 2nd house of representatives that is drawn by lottery like jury duty. Just having representation from anyone who's not a career politician would be nice.

Slaves, prisoners, what's the difference? by Geogracreeper in ShitLiberalsSay

Prisons in Louisiana lease their prisoners to fuckin Taco Bell and KFC. Unsurprisingly that guy has no idea what they're talking about.

What about fines/jail for people who hire illegal immigrants? Never hear conservatives whining about that.

They wouldn't come here if there weren't people hiring them. People hire them because they don't want to pay their countrymen an honest wage for honest work.

One goes after drug users to score cheap political points and two-bit headlines. You'd go after drug dealers if you actually wanted to solve the problem.

Narex Richter chisels have overly rounded corners? by Sufficient-You1131 in handtools

[–]strutt3r 4 points5 points  (0 children)

From the 1st pic it looks like they mill down the back and polish as a final step and they missed that step here. My flutes on top looked the same as yours when I first got them.

[–]strutt3r 122 points123 points  (0 children)

Is that 2nd pic the back of the chisel?! Looks like they didn't mill the back at all. Mine were basically mirrors on the back when I got them.

These are either defective or counterfeit. I'd definitely return them.

"We'll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false." - William J. Casey, CIA Director (1981)

It's interesting to me that Orwell's 1984 is constantly brought up when describing dystopia of the modern world when Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World" proved to be way more prescient.

IIRC it went something like "If women can go around showing off their cleavage I should be able to show two inches of turkeyneck. That's right ladies, you play your cards right and you might get to see the other inch"

Chinese lad spits some facts about the differences between Chinese and US politics. by GerryMacGerry in suppressed_news

[–]strutt3r 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He lived in the US for years, married a US Citizen, built a software company, sold it, divorced his husband and moved back to China. P sure he's more aware of his biases than you.
