Kristi Noem posting videos of her grimly and bravely looking out upon the carnage in Portland from rooftops, only for it to be like 12 dudes, 3 of which are inside inflatable dinosaurs, does indeed make ICE look stupid.
I’m not sure what I find more ridiculous:
A $120,000 Rally Fee for demonstrators to pay. (I get that it’s for services, but either a demonstration is legal and safe or it isn’t. I can’t find a way in which it actually makes sense to have the fee)
The idea that waiving such a fee is some...
Truly I have zero issues with any of this and think it’s honestly good business on their part. But how are you going to open yourself up to All American Rejects jokes like this?
Hunter Biden also didn’t get to Jared’s financial weight class for a reason. I absolutely think Hunter Biden is a tool and he was using his name to get money. I don’t really know that I’ve seen enough to say Joe Biden definitely did any criming though.
I’m perfectly willing to give Kushner and Trump their flowers if they negotiated a successful peace deal between these two parties. Truly. But that’s not relevant to whether or not it’s okay for personal deals to be made by them as well.
This isn’t about just fraud. If the President and his family are good at business, it doesn’t have to be faulty services rendered by the family member to be a conflict of interest. There are plenty of great business minds not named Jared Kushner that could either do business with Qatar and the...
People did get the damn virus, man. But more importantly, I’m telling you they did too much with vaccines. You’re arguing as if I am in a cult. I’m just pointing out that when you describe things a certain way, it makes it sound less tyrannical.
Nor is it fascist to stop a deadly disease from spreading or enforcing our laws broken during the riot on J6. It’s the process that’s fascist in nature, not the sanitized explanation of them.
But also, the discourse is being driven in large part by the current government and its supporters insisting that it’s actually a call for murder and violence to call them fascists.
You’re right that the buzzwords of the day are influencing the phrasing I’m using. But the behaviors are the behaviors. Overly aggressive public safety measures like the vaccine mandates were fascist in nature just as overly aggressive public safety measures like a police state featuring the US...
But you’re not describing things I support. I don’t think the vaccine was harmful but I agreed that vaccine mandates were an overreach. I also thought we treated J6 prisoners very poorly. The difference I care when others accused or convicted of a crime are over-prosecuted and abused.
But your own arguments are even more dishonest. You’re taking me to task for not having enough outrage when my side does it, but have full blown outrage for when my side does it and seemingly endless approval when yours does.
Surprise! I do have actual opinions and that context matters. But I...
