Well maybe if the justice system worked, we wouldn't have to pay for it ourselves.

The fact that it’s parody aside, on one hand, that would be insanely absurd for wokeness. On the other hand, I’m sure some people would pay money to beat up digital Nancy Pelosi.

Woke, or secretly based?

Except that I do support the right of a business^1 to deny service to whomever it wants. What I don't support is their ability to pry into private medical matters and deny service based on that.

^1 with the exception of services like ISPs, social media, telephone companies, hospitals, etc. that would fall under free speech or basic necessities. Which is why the line blurs when we come to big chains—Wal Mart isn't, strictly, a necessity... but if it's the only food retailer in 50 miles, then suddenly things get different. It's a hard issue to define clear boundaries on.

Quite possible. But I reread, and I still don’t see it. What did I miss?

Personally, I can’t imagine any degree of terrible training that would allow you to confuse a glock and a taser.

Now, police training may or may not still be bad outside of that, but I think this happened much more because she was one of the terrible hires you’re talking about than for training problems.

"HE SAYS WHAT I DISAGREE WITH!"

I thought the glowies were the ones trying to incite people to go out and shoot aimlessly? (Not that I think a civil war is always and forever off the table, certainly—I'm more and more worried that it's inevitable, or worse—but I'm pretty sure the glowie narrative is "go out and make a disorganized, easily stoppable bomb plot we can score propaganda points with right now!" not "we still have this one thing left, but prepare."

Yeah, but that's why I'm choosing the Human Trafficking operations and arrests his administration conducted as an example. He easily could have talked the talk and walked the walk without that element, because it's not a major part of the political landscape. Sure, fixing the border cuts off some, but that's almost never the main argument presented—and besides, the arrests he did went above and beyond just southern border-related trafficking.

A well kept home, well adjusted, successful children,

The real problem is that that is somehow no longer seen as a worthy task.

I'm not one of those people who insists that being a housewife is every bit a grueling as some 8 hour job—even if your kids are at the age/quantity where they actually generate a comparable amount of work, you get to spend hours around your children every day that the man just doesn't get. I'm sure that if you put the question to any caring mother and wife that way—"would you prefer your job to be your current career, or an equivalent amount of time per day spent caring for your children and husband"—she'd choose the latter in a heartbeat. But if you don't frame it like that, if you say "housewife"—even though that's what a housewife's job is, essentially—she's become convinced that you're suggesting she's lesser.

But just because it isn't as... grinding, for lack of a better word, as a 9-5 job does not mean it isn't as important, or as worth doing. There is skill involved, too, I won't pretend there isn't, so doing a good job is worthy of acknowledgment the same as being a particularly valuable employee is—sure, doing it may be the bare minimum of adulthood, but doing it well is worth noting.

But somehow our society allowed itself to be convinced that it wasn't valuable, or greatly preferable to a career. But it is. And we've destroyed our homes and our families over this lie.

Voting to certify the fraud on some ridiculous flimsy premise of "principle" about state sovereignty. The same way he always picks a tiny principle and lets it get in the way of a big one. I will give him, though, that he made statements in defense of the protestors—by contrast, Cruz got the vote right, and the aftermath wrong.

At best, the man is far too inclined to let perfect be the enemy of good, and has trouble seeing the forest for trees. At worst, he's a particularly skilled deceiver who has many convinced he's one of our strongest advocates.

I find it hard to believe that even deep cover controlled opposition would take the actions he did in office regarding human trafficking, specifically—that one could have flown under the radar easily enough—but I certainly do think his judgment, and many of his endorsements or staffing choices, have had serious flaws at times.

Our of curiosity, what's the long term solution that doesn't involve that?

If you don't know if the laptop filled with incriminating evidence is against you is yours, that means it could be someone else's. Which means someone else has blackmail material on you, the son of the (illegitimate) president.

Claiming the laptop might not be yours doesn't negate the terrible shit on there. It just makes its existence possibly even worse.

I think the only argument that can be made is: who are they supposed to blow the whistle too? They should know better than anyone that there would be massive consequences for them, not the agency.

Honestly, if she really was a driving force behind BLM, she probably did work very hard. Shitty as they may be, they’re undeniably a major organization with large political clout that has grown quite quickly overall.

Of course, that’s a big “if.”

I saw that picture and at best it seemed like the personal notes of some rando that watched the jury selection happen. They were all just one (or two, at best) sentence things that were closer to trivia than relevant details. No way that the jury was picked so lightly.

So you think Trump knows Gaetz is a pedo, but still defended him from truthful accusations?

That’s absurd. You do realize that you’re therefore suggesting Donald Trump is directly involved in covering up child sex crimes for political profit, right? Do you really think so little of him?

Look, I won’t dismiss you outright. You probably have more knowledge—right or wrong—than I do on this. But do consider: if you met someone as deeply redpilled as this comment outlines, or even just a group of the more aggressively self-sufficient people from this very board... and you weren’t redpilled yourself, if you lived in the next town over and had one or two brief encounters and the gossip to go on... don’t you think it’s possible you’d hear that group described as a cult, or the local weirdos, even though it wasn’t actually true?

I hear scissoring isn't really a thing for most lesbians. But honestly, the 69 mental image is even worse.
