You gotta remember, in America we're not enemies, we're friends, we're neighbors."
Then come over here and tell that to some of my neighbors who would want me dead if they knew certain things about me.
This quote comes to mind:
Nice people made the best Nazis. My mom grew up next to them. They got along, refused to make waves, looked the other way when things got ugly and focused on happier things than “politics.” They were lovely people who turned their heads as their neighbors were dragged away. You know who weren’t nice people? Resisters.
― Naomi Shulman
It's hard to have any sympathy for people who have spent their lives making it abundantly clear they'd kill you if they had the chance.
In a nation where homes are how we expand our portfolio and not where we make our community, you are a danger to the investment.

I'd probably want you dead too if I knew you were a sentient squirrel capable of time travel that wasn't actively using it's power to change our present for the better.
It’s not an accusation. The word you are looking for is observation.
Come on! A newspaper should hire people with better vocabularies!
oh man you hit the nail on the head. using accuse for something the person does constantly and there is no doubt about it. ugh.
But when it comes from someone whose politics align with the paper they’ll just say it, it’s a small and effective rhetorical manipulation I’ve seen everywhere thanks to ground.news
How much do you pay for ground news I keep getting advertised it on youtube and ehh I guess it might be interesting
I got a discount via some more news so $60 for a year
How do you tell Trump is lying?
spoiler
His mouth is moving.
Tip of his ear is missing?
Thank you.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!
