In a world where Palantir is tracking everyone, all the time by integrating surveillance footage and using facial recognition, there's a strong argument for torching rolling 360° surveillance bots near antifascist protests.

Oh no! An emotionally unstable, terminally online troll is muting me! The National Guard served as nurses during the pandemic. They were thanklessly deployed in our dumbest wars. I have good friends who served in the Guard. Go fuck yourself.

Noted, but that's four dead in Ohio vs how many every year from the cops?

We shouldn't escalate, but we should be prepared for when they do. Nonviolence is preferable but it may not end with nonviolence.

Unlike cops, the Nat Guard is mostly made up of our peers who want to serve their country and get a GI bill to pay for college. I expect much more from the Guard than from police.

Say it louder for the DNC shills in the back:
"Impeachment is more popular than the Democratic Party!"

They predicted exactly that.
The founders feared The Union would fall to The Mob as much as they feared an autocrat executive would turn the military against the people.
That's why the Electoral College exists: to prevent a populist demagogue.
(Also why we're not supposed to have a standing army.)

DOGE stole SS and IRS data, and they've tapped Palantir to surveil the entire nation. They already have our information.

Schiff should have allowed him to talk (lie) slightly more. More rope to hang himself.

I was reading SF6 patch notes an hour ago, dipshit. Let me guess: you like to talk about fighting games but don't actually play them?

If I were a Rep/Senator, I probably wouldn't read every single bill. They're long and I don't have much time and legalese is dense.
... But I would certainly have my staff break every bill up into manageable sections, read it, and produce summaries for me. What is wrong with these morons?

It might also get panned because the original characters were borderline-offensive stereotypes. Thank goodness they're now revered legacy characters because I don't think you could make Brazil's rep a jungle monster gorilla man and get away with it in 2025.

Probably the best thing you could do would be to show up, feign interest, get them to spend resources, waste their time with interviews and such, ask lots of tedious questions, and then ghost them.

Thugs hiding their faces and acting without badges have no legitimacy. Do your civic duty and call 911 to report kidnapping. Use your other rights if possible.

You could always bill yourself as a "converted" libtard! I hear it helps if you have a brain-damaging stroke first.

Hours before DNC somehow finds a way to denounce this and organize its members against using it?

Aside from the 1.12% of the population that is Native American, 98.88% of us are descendants of immigrants, including these fucking Nazis.

Counterpoint: who's going to enforce the tariffs? Those require people at ports to know what stuff is imported from where, and its value. I don't know the origin of the De Minimus loophole, but I'd bet it's to simplify logistics... and this regime fired thousands of bureaucrats...

As a former young man: boys are fucking idiots and a lot of them don't grow out of it until their late 20's or early 30's (if at all).

Who could have foreseen an executive abusing "emergency" powers aside from everyone who studied the history of Rome for five seconds?

No democrat is going to win the MAGA base. That cult is far gone and in need of deprogramming. There was a promise of action in "yes we can." I'm not sure who the fuck "joy" is for. Not the working class; that's for sure.

Whoever that idiot was, I've already blocked him. Twitter/BSky pinkos are even more annoying than MAGA chuds and hide behind the same magical thinking and fallacies.

I'm not sure "Joy" is a winning message. No one cares if the politicians and bureaucrats are happy or espousing a feel-good message. They just want government to work, and to work as cheaply and unobtrusively as possible.

Why would I buy a swasticar when I could get a Hyundai ioniq 5 or similar? Driving around a surveillance device with cameras all over it owned by a nazi involved in a fascist regime? No thanks.

Harris has no rizz
never had it
shouldn't have been VP because of it
lost to a felon 'cause of it
Everyone knew this back in 2020, but the DNC tried to force a suspension of disbelief on its most likely voters and it predictably failed.
(commence the dogpiling by delusional morons... now!)

You might be overestimating his supporters' ability to detect bullshit. I learned a new term this year: "kettle logic."
eg:
the tariffs
- will bring in revenue
- are a negotiating tactic
- will bring back domestic manufacturing
- are paid by CHYna
They contradict each other, but it doesn't matter.

This is a great rule if you don't want to know what people really think but are not allowed to say sans anonymity.

He's still taking credit for a veteran's law Obama signed.
This would be harder if dems weren't such useless communicators. They occasionally do good things but I never hear about them. Meanwhile, Trump made sure COVID checks carried his name and were sent with a "YOU'RE WELCOME" letter.

I suppose "let old, poor, and disabled people die" is fiscally responsible if you're an evil piece of shit.

This isn't productive. At this rate you're going to end up in very socially progressive concentration camps because you can't accept an imperfect ally.

A government is a type of collective, and politicians aren't aliens. Democracies are supposed to be "of and by the people," and in many places they are. I'm bored bye.

Good governments are just collectives of people settling disagreements and pooling their resources.

So you trust courts to uphold all other situations where rights meet laws, but not this one? In states with Red Flag laws, is there any evidence whatsoever that they're used to disarm people undeservedly? If you want to cosplay, why not try airsoft?
