    You've got the Fox News schtick down, buddy. "While he was cleared of all charges, we don't know if in his spare time he kicks blind puppies into immigrant-owned sausage machines after teaching innocent children how to swear in Farsi... We will continue to investigate to get to the bottom of this!" "I'm just asking questions..."

    But people accepting settlements in civil suits are not the reason that doesn’t happen more often.
    Yeah, it's not on the protester. He's just taking the only available means of a modicum of justice. But as far as the city is concerned, the matter is settled and the cop likely won't face consequences internally and his union will have his back in a fight if the city tried to hold him accountable. It's another scenario where you take what you can get because you'll otherwise die before seeing the system work perfectly for justice.

    Immunity and financial settlements are bullshit. If people aren't personally held responsible for their violations of constitutional rights, they'll just do it again (which is a pattern we have already seen numerous times).

    Fuck off, you stupid shit. You’ve been very open about HATING Christians.
    Maybe nobody will see this days later, but I grew up in a conservative Christian household. This idea that everyone who criticizes conservative authoritarian (even fascist) Christianity is somehow completely ignorant of its nature and biased from an outsider perspective is bullshit. Most of the people I know who vocally disagree with conservative Christianity grew up mired in it.

    So, first, one of those articles wasn't written by Mike. Second, there's a difference between nonfactual claims and LLMs acting as suicide assistants. There's a lot of nuance in Mike's article that you're glossing over. It's fine to disagree with his conclusions, but don't factually misrepresent what he's said. That just makes it look like you have an agenda to push without concern for facts yourself, and thus no one should take you seriously.

    No, because the bribe checks have already been cashed for the copyright protection.

    I'd say he only cares for himself, but functionally, he can't even meet that low standard. In practice, he only cares for billionaire grifters who use him as the last link in a human centipede. That's the worst part of it. He's not even being selfish because he's not getting anything out of it except continually diminishing dopamine hits and he's losing shit he'll just blame on Biden or Obama or those leftist centrist corporate capitalist communist atheist muslim people he's so afraid of.

    Billionaires don't belong anywhere near government. It's "we, the people," not "we, the gold-hoarding dragons." Give them a trophy that says "You won The Game of Life." And then tax them at 90% at least.

    Hey, if we stopped testing for climate change, we'd have less climate change!

    Except not getting vaccinated is telling other people that you're willing to infect them. You don't get to tell other people that they should get sick or even die because you're afraid of jab or worse, you're afraid of science and snort cocaine off of toilet seats and don't wash your hands and swim in sewer rivers while a brain worm starves in your skull.

    Actually gun nuts who think owning a gun gives them the right to use force to get what they want are the reason why the 2nd Amendment exists. They literally wrote it so the state could raise a militia of citizens who already had guns in the event things like Shays' Rebellion occurred where conservative libertarian type assholes who didn't like paying taxes stormed government buildings a la January 6th. The 2nd Amendment exists to protect the people from those who tout their completely misunderstanding of the purpose of the 2nd Amendment.

    So if one of those 40% of vaccinated people don't get the flu and they happen to encounter and breathe on you in the course of your day as an anti-vax nutjob, you'll benefit from them not having gotten it because they won't pass it on to you. That 40% effectiveness only applies to the individual. 100% of people who encounter people who don't carry the flu don't get the flu. You have no fucking concept for how infection works in a population greater than two. It's the greatest and most hilarious absurdity that the most self-interested assholes are also so stupid that they work against their self-interest despite it being their primary motivation.

    Your comments are like talking to a guy who grew up thinking Harry Potter was real. "No, stupid, this is how magic works!" Except all the "magic" is just you having no understanding how government, society, or humanity works and you're just spewing bigoted ignorant bullshit. Your insistence that you are an expert on the shadows on the wall of Plato's cave is not an actual flex.

    You misspelled “illegal alien”.
    You misspelled "I'm a xenophobic asshole." Even your bigoted misnomer "illegal immigrant" doesn't mean "non-human," but that's how you consider them. Humans have rights, including non-citizens, in the US. Just because you don't want that to be true and your dom daddy Trump doesn't recognize it doesn't make it false.

  • Jun 25, 2026 @ 07:52pm

    ICE Officers LITERALLY planned the genocide of immigrants, you xenophobic fuck. They are actual fascists. It's worse that even you believe you because you can't imagine you're possibly the baddie. You literally think it's morally okay to murder people for being on the wrong side of an imaginary, arbitrary line.

    Rueda asked Sanchez to have her car towed away from its location parked outside the house of the guy with all the guns then go to her house and “whatever you need to do, move whatever you need to move at the house”. You could make a case that it’s telling someone to go hide or destroy evidence. Is that thirty years behind bars bad? NO, but it is, in fact, a crime.
    Except the literature wasn't evidence of a crime. The literature wasn't proof that a crime occurred. Okay, hypothetically, imagine you live in an unjust society (I know, a crazy stretch of imagination, but bear with me...), and you know you're going to be maliciously prosecuted by an authoritarian fascist government whose unconstitutional genocidal acts were the cause of the entire situation to begin with. Sure, it might be a "crime" to subvert your own prosecution by unjust authoritarians who have created or weaponized rules to punish anyone who opposes them, but then you're forced to answer the more important question: Is legality a valid substitute for morality? To consider other scenarios outside of this immediate situation, do you consider the Nuremberg Race Laws of Nazi Germany to be moral in nature? Is it morally okay to tell Jewish people they can't marry ethnic Germans? It's one thing to say, "based purely on pattern recognition with no moral judgment, these people were likely to have been prosecuted, found guilty, and sentenced to some amount of prison time," but it's entirely something else to say they broke some laws and deserve prison time simply because you ignore all the context of the situation and pretend the government is moral and rational and non-partisan and not unconstitutionally vindictive. They weren't protesting, spray painting, vandalizing near a child care center. It wasn't a national park. It wasn't a hospital. It was a concentration camp (no, I'm not being hyperbolic) for immigrants. Next you'll be telling us that the Sobibor Uprising painted a very unsympathetic picture of the Jewish survivors.
