Green and Menefee will go to a runoff in May. Green swatted away questions about the age factor on Wednesday, declaring, "I am generational change."

Yeah, I'm gonna go ahead and say when you find yourself paraphrasing mother fucking Emperor Palpatine it's time to stop being a senator

So, because governments aren't listening to protesters about an unrelated genocide, this genocide is somehow protesters fault? Feels like you're just reaching for a way to be racist towards Arabs.

Eh, that's what they're trying to do, but that's always what groups like them have tried to do throughout history and it never really works for very long. We aren't reaching the end of anything, it's just the next stage of the game.

 

Even when people engaged in passive resistance or nonviolent civil disobedience such as a Jan. 19 sit-in on the edges of the building’s driveway, the unidentified federal officers said they were justified in using chemical munitions against those who failed to leave the property.

They still maintained they did nothing wrong after lawyers for protesters presented them with the Federal Protective Service public order policy, which allows using aerosol sprays only against people who are violently breaking the law or “actively resisting” arrest.

They were never disciplined, they testified in the sworn depositions. Supervisors never discussed their behavior with them or suggested they change their tactics, they said.

When asked to respond if his spraying of pepper spray into the faces of protesters simply sitting on the driveway met policy standards, one Federal Protective Service officer said: “I wish not to.”

I really doubt this person is being genuine, I'm fairly certain I remember them complaining about progressives calling out moderate bullshit not too long ago, so unless a username got hijacked or something I think they're just stirring up shit

These dumb assholes really thought their dogshit ideas were going to be more successful and popular than this, and now they're backed into a corner and getting ready to lash out, and they still might get away with it regardless of how goddamn dumb this all is

It will be done in a thorough and competent manner, like the Epstein file release(s) /s

This thread is an extra depressing version of the "Feel old yet?" meme

I definitely think it would be a good fit for other comms but I also think it fits this one. The fact that a bunch of dipshit white supremacists in Texas trying to get laid actually does give a lot of insight into our politics is something that feels to me like it could have been a bit on a sketch comedy show in the 90s but here we are.

Blue states like Colorado should be making it easier for people stuck in the shithole states like Kansas to get CO driver's licenses with accurate gender markers
