This was meant to be funny, definitely not getting worked up over.
At the same time, I'd really like for a restaurant to just sell me some food.
But it's a great way to keep the system going. "It was so close! Next time we'll vote just a little harder and things will be different."
I'm so sick of police letting this happen. Antifa thugs jump on a cop car and the officers drive off instead of arresting them.
Police are literally Peace Officers. They're paid to protect the peace. And they're not doing their jobs.
It will still be possible to learn and achieve. But white people will be punished for it, and non-whites will be accused of "acting white".
An increase in the influence of women in public life has often been associated with national decline. The later Romans complained that, although Rome ruled the world, women ruled Rome. In the tenth century, a similar tendency was observable in the Arab Empire . . .
Soon after this period, government and public order collapsed, and foreign invaders overran the country. The resulting increase in confusion and violence made it unsafe for women to move unescorted in the streets, with the result that this feminist movement collapsed.

Counting votes for Trump just told democrat how many votes to manufacture. If there had been even more votes for Trump, Biden would still magically manage to beat him.
It doesn't matter who votes. What matters is who counts the votes.
Not to mention: debt. If your livelihood or ability to bank is threatened, the (credit card, student loan, mortgage) that hangs over you and your family will crush you.
The day people believe there's a chance to escape that debt, there will be a LOT more resistance.
Briefly stated, the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect is as follows. You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well. In Murray's case, physics. In mine, show business. You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues. Often, the article is so wrong it actually presents the story backward — reversing cause and effect. I call these the "wet streets cause rain" stories. Paper's full of them.
In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story, and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about Palestine than the baloney you just read. You turn the page, and forget what you know. —Michael Crichton
Australia: a prison island that's at least half desert.
The president of a local community college told all staff and faculty shortly after the "election" that "Biden wants free community college for everyone. Of course, we support this."
Funny how we haven't heard another word about it since.
Thank you!
On the one hand: Twitter just showed they can ban the POTUS. He's coming back on other platforms, but it's still an impressive show of power.
On the other hand: Twitter just forced every country in the world to create their own competitor, and probably block Twitter, if they want control over their communications.
It's going to be an interesting 2021.
Sorry to say, fake news has power. My family and friends who are avid TV-watchers believe:
- Donald Trump is a RacistMisogynistNaziHomophobe
- There's no reason to protest the election
- People are literally crazy for being upset
They are immune to facts and completely uninterested in any other perspective.
. . . and how many of THEM were shot? Oh, that's right. None.
The CEO of Twitter is more powerful than the POTUS. We're witnessing a historic shift of power, one that will have implications for years to come.
My mother-in-law is the same. If it's on the news, it must be true. No amount of facts or video evidence will change her mind.

I don't blame your basic bitch liberal democrat that goes and votes once,
Knowing several of them in person, I DO blame them. If you know a Trump voter, you have access to facts. As a group, these people willfully ignore any information that contradicts the talking heads on TV.
If a foreign government had imposed this system of education on the United States, we would rightfully consider it an act of war.

Scott Adams talks about this at 21:10. The argument is airtight at this point.
Funny song!
Also, GEOTUS has shifted politics in a major way.
How long has being anti-establishment and singing folk songs meant hippie/liberal/democrat? Since the 1960s?
in 2020, it's now Republicans (Trumpians?) who are the vanguard of personal freedom, against corporate media and tech platform censorship, and sing folk songs to protest a corrupt system.
Once the news media made Hunter's laptop a non-story for half the population, the dems knew they could pull *anything *and the press would cover for them.

My unpopular opinion: this is the way most of these cases should be handled.
The Capitol was being breached. Ashli was climbing in through a window. Shooting was not the best choice but it's not so out of line as to be shocking. And police should have broad leeway in how to handle this kind of situation.
That said . . .
LOTS of these cases should be investigated and quietly closed, nationwide. Instead, police in similar situations across the country face serious consequences and public shaming. But this case? Our TV-watching friends never even heard about it. The double standard is disgusting.
