I know how you feel, I've been struggling against the demoralization it causes the past few months. But the justice system has sucked for a long time. It's long been pay-to-play, pay-to-win. This corruption didn't just happen overnight. In fact.... Perhaps that should be another "revelation" on that list, another positive to come of all of this crap. There's no denying it now. This truly may be our last chance to preserve the constitution of this nation, but all this evil is suddenly and widely being publicly proven to be true, not merely assumed.
This is what I've been curious about each time as well 😂
So all I essentially hear her saying is that black people aren't responsible for anything they do. They're always, always bowing to Whitey. They can't get ahead without kissing up to whitey even though there's been an entire, resource-rich continent with their name on it and their feet stamping over it for millenia, and they also can't do bad things like trade in slaves without Whitey's know-how and supervision. Without being used.
They themselves are white superiority's biggest and loudest proponents. The irony is stunning.
And to hear it so plainly for the woke to lay into a man for the color of his skin, they are quite literally racist. They only see color and nothing else. It'd be hilarious if so many weren't swallowing this garbage whole and tearing the world apart.
I understand completely. I am (or was) on Instagram regularly for posting art as well. I've always had an uneasy relationship with social media, and then I got sorta loud this year politically because I was at the point of no return with it all anyway. Got more positive responses than I expected, but it was supposed to be a "professional account" and it's made things strained with certain family members as well.
It's frustrating as heck, trying to be creative and professional about it, to "build a business", while watching the country literally burn around you. And hearing too many idiot creatives hate on capitalism and the free market — the best system they will ever have for selling all the stuff they make. Because buying art and random-ass stickers and pins is a bloody luxury and they don't realize entertainment and decor are the first to get cut from shrinking personal budgets. But anyway haha now I'm going off on a rant, what I mean to say is hang in there friend! 🙌
What is also with that tone in the "....and police" bit right at the end? Sounds a bit ominous, especially when lumped in with what will happen to POC, since we know they think that means violence.
If (scratch that, when) Trump gets reelected, it sounds like this poster is already fully committed to retaliation against LEOs, no second thoughts.
I agree. While there's parallels with both, it's far more Red Guard. The destruction of tradition and national heritage, the struggle sessions, the disrespect and battery of their own elders as a general rule, the inept takeover and eventual destruction of their agricultural industry, and they even had a uniform too. Oh, and straight-up communism lol.
It's not about stupidity, it's about not ruling out that he wouldn't be capable of being trained, or "brave" enough to do so. You think he just stopped flying in 1945? But it doesn't even matter, I don't have a horse in this race. Both sides of this argument are all hearsay.
HW was a naval pilot in WWII. Their youngest at the time he became one. Not saying this confirms anything either way, but he would very likely know his way around a plane and a flightsuit.
Why do you keep cutting and pasting this same comment? Demoralization sucks, but complacency does equally. For every person who looks at this slow-ass process and gets demoralized to the point of inaction, there are plenty of others who are like screw those higher eschelons of action which I can't control, I'm going to do what I can, and go and get involved in politics and the community and such at a local level. You talk about "we" a lot, but are you actually helping the investigation personally? The vast majority of Americans aren't. And they're 100% right to go find other things to focus on. Productivity isn't relative to the amount of anonymous cheerleaders you amass on the internet. Real life work and personal action matters.
Skepticism is always warranted with the government, friend. Insults towards those who are tired of watching their country literally burn as this happens, though, are not. The very reason this whole thing is taking so long, and that the rot has embedded so deep, is exactly because so many in government are power-hungry manipulators playing a red vs blue charade to divide us.
Of course this sort of thing can take time. Of course a dictator's edicts of just tossing every commie into the sea isn't ideal. But fuck, it would be nice. And the American people have been yanked around for decades now. A full century even. Have some compassion.
Yeah no we don't need a new protected class to replace the left's ones. All premeditated/cold blood murderers, when proven with evidence beyond a shadow of a doubt, should be executed. Policing is a necessary job in this screwed-up world we live in but law enforcers are not to be our overlords.
I hope you're trying to be goofy like I was being, either way I'm laughing
Who cares if you care if he cares?
Yes! Came in here to say this. Definitely another narrative-busting stat that could be added.
Exactly. Be completely clear as to why they're allowed ro remain, and others won't be afraid.
I dont think you even know what you're talking about at this point. Have a nice day.
This is really lovely work!! I was going to ask who the artist was, but on closer inspection I think the signature says "A. Patriot" haha. I know how that feels.
Ardent was too strong of a term. He always had certain reservations about federal power, and I don't blame him, I think any federalist should. Especially with stupidity like the Alien and Sedition Acts being attempted by one very unpopular president. But he did turn to the Federalist side/position in his later years, after the bill of rights was passed and restricted federal power. He even spoke in 1799 about the necessity to keep the federation intact unless there was no other solution:
Henry stood again for election to the House of Delegates in the spring of 1799. He delivered his last public speech, a call for national union, at Charlotte Court House on election day. "If I am asked what is to be done when a people feel themselves intolerably oppressed, my answer is ready—overturn the government," he declared, but "wait at least until some infringement is made upon your rights that cannot be otherwise be redressed." Otherwise, like failed republics of the past, "you may bid adieu forever to representative government," for "you can never exchange the present government but for a monarchy."

Nice haha. So you're trying with a different "article" this time. Do you believe everything you read on the internet? No solid evidence there, or even a salient point about Washington being a traitor (outside of the concept of EVERY American being a traitor to the British crown, are you saying colonialism is good now?), a whole lot of blathering about coats of arms and that an initial idea for the American flag incorporated the Union Jack (a lot of early colonists really wanted to remember their literal roots despite the hostilities, so what?) It even accuses Washington of changing his last name even though moments later it says itself that it was his ancestors who went through the name change over the years.
And the Patrick Henry speech, the one solid historical quote that isn't pure asspullery, is from before the Bill of Rights was added to the Constitution. It was added because of his and other's objections, yes it took that disagreement. But the founding fathers debated, and came up with a wonderful solution. We got the BILL OF RIGHTS. Henry became an ardent federalist after that.
Seriously. I JUST became a citizen this year, I didn't know of this speech before now, but it took like a mere five minutes of research to find the historical context for it. Is that the best evidence you have or no?
Well those are some weird tactics 😅 I definitely got that "hello fellow millipedes" vibe too.
Lmao what even is that article and your point? "cucked out to reference him"? Being a "traitor" to the British Empire is why Americans should detest Washington? Looks like we've got a redcoat here lol.
The video-taker literally says he lives next door. The cop literally says he doesn't believe he lives next door. There is no sign or speech of another crime. The guy with the DJ gear (in his own front yard?) is pretty casually just there fiddling away with it. Sure there COULD be more proof, but good lord, what's there to disbelieve on the face of this? They're literally arresting someone for not giving a full name. If it were a worse crime or an actual crime, then wouldn't he be getting charged with and arrested for that instead?
A bruise with a big nasty hole in the middle of it. You should see the video, it shows it better.
I've been in the same boat, including with the feeling like I don't have enough friends in real life lol, so I can sympathize. Getting out and socializing outside of politics is a great idea, but if you still need to feel like you're a part of all the politics, maybe you can find a volunteer job with a local Republican campaign? Or just volunteer in general, there's a ton of people in need right now. Perhaps through a church if that suits.
I know my own spiraling starts when I don't feel as though I'm doing anything meaningful or getting out enough, so I obsessively read more news, and then don't go out and do enough, and the cycle continues. I limit my reading to maybe less than an hour a day, and I try not to keep my smart phone near my bed at night. And stupidly enough, the fact that I'm not wearing my mask so much in stores anymore helps me feel less crazy.
But yeah, stressing over things you ultimately can't control helps no-one.Take care of yourself fren! Enjoy some sunshine, blue skies, and cool fresh air now that fall is here.
