I don't see it being mentioned that the guy was also paralyzed from the waste down in the shooting.

Wonder if theres gonna be a dip in enthusiasm from all the teeth gnashing chuds when we wheel out a sedated guy in a wheelchair onto the firing line.

That seems like it would be a pretty impact due moment for any kid who just had to listen to their dad's speech on "this is what we do to terrorists"

There was definitely a conversation about making sure it was released close enough to the election that they couldnt be blamed for a loss.

One of the most depressing things about modern political "discourse" is nobody like this has their own thoughts or opinions on anything because everybody has to be an expert on 5 different topics every week, they just are told what the comeback is for every gotcha liberals might have, and same goes for liberals defense to criticism from the left.

And then the fact people come of with this level of "gotchas" that don't stand up to 5 seconds of serious reflection and think its really clever.

My "I am not complicit" post seems to be raising a lot of questions that are already answered by my post.

They should take a page out of The Onions playbook and post the same article title with different bodies.

'Liberals anytime they encounter an actual leftist' - "Clearly this is an opp"

It really is funny that the me too movement died over night as soon as somebody accused Biden.

A full year of "times up" and "believe women" until exactly one women accused Biden and every lib immediatly did a spot on Kavanaugh impression without a whiff of irony.

I read sonething a little while ago about a study where they asked respondents if there should be work requirements for medicaid. One third opposed it, two thirds supported it.

The pollsters then explained to respondents that everytime that has been tried it cost more money than it saved money, led to less people on welfare, and most of the people who got kicked off welfare weren't frauds they were elderly people that couldnt navigate all the extra digital hoops to jump through.

After having this explained they asked the question again, one third supported it, two thirds opposed it.

Now you'd think that would mean the problem is the 1/3rd od the country that is comically evil and explicitly just wants to punish people and cause suffering regardless of economics or whatever.

But the real problem is the 1/3 of the country that is so politically illiterate they don't even understand the consequences of their own beliefs.

These beliefs aren't based on anythin least of all real world evidence. They just say what they think sounds right and don't give it any further thought even if it means that they're voting against their own interest.

It's encouraging so many changed their minds after being presented with factual evidence, or at least it would be if I didn't fully bel8eve they would just as easily change their mind again if some republican hack didn't tell them that kindergarten teachers are doing gender reassignment surgery.

You literally can't have an effective outreach for a third of the country because they're so fucking empty headed a whole campaigns worth of messaging and campaigning can be undone by a doomsday preacher that happens to be a few steps closer to the vot8ng booth than you were.

The economy is just three people standing in a circle handing a check for $1 million back and forth saying they've doubled, what now trippled, wait now quadrupled profits.

people don't want a summary of reddit, they want reddit.

"Seasame street didn't change you just grew up to be a bad person" is a pretty succinct description of modern day American culture.

 

It cant detect Hitler particles.
