I'd be for it if they were the only ones who get affected in a crash. What about innocent people who might get hurt from a 90kg projectile? Or the people who have to mop up the mess?

Listen, if people want to buy and drink plaster cosplaying as milk, it's their God-given right to, and the government shouldn't have a say. Let the invisible hand of the Free Market™ decide whether or not it's a good idea.

A few months ago I thought there was no way he'd be stupid enough to dismantle the institutions that keep the US in power, because monied interests that depend on it would have him deleted, sent to prison for real, or at the very least impached. But holy shit the lack of opposition to his antics, other than some performative fingerwagging from liberals, is amazing.

I don't even know what to believe anymore.

And the few that do won't go very far beyond that and say the problem is "crony capitalism," "not true capitalism" or go straight to JQ-ing.

broad support from people across the political spectrum

Some of my chud relatives were initially in support of it..... for like a day. Then the GOP (and Democrat) establishment came out against it and they all followed suit.

Other dogshit takes I sometimes come across: "they aren't really native anyway because they also came here and stole this land at one point" and "they were killing each other long before we got here so what we did was okay."

You know, because migration and settling that happen on their own, and even inter-tribal warfare, are totally the same as industrialized, state-sanctioned colonization and genocide.

Why is the one in the middle holding a Trump-Vance 24 sign? Someone give them the memo that the election is over.

Chuds can finally knock off their bullshit about migrants "being a burden" on taxpayers or whatever, we all knew that was an excuse. They obviously have no problem with the gov't spending millions, possibly billions, of their tax dollars on a facility that's solely dedicated holding migrants.

But the propaganda machine (run by the same people who are aligned with Trump and Elon) will put the blame for shit inevitably going wrong on trans people/black people/Muslims/Jews/immigrants/socialists/antifa/whomever the right wants their voters to be scared of.

Americans in general are too cucked to doubt the people they worship.

When you operate on the assumption that "socialism is when the government does stuff", it snowballs from there.

I have a family member who legit believes agencies like NSA and CIA are communist.

If they ever get to Superbowl 509, the Roman numerals for it would be DIX.

Euphemy, in contrast, "good speech", includes ways religious people modified these invocations against God to avoid blasphemy. Damn > darn ; God > gosh; sacré dieu (fr) > sacré bleu.

I learned not long ago that phrases like "Jeepers Creepers!" or "Jiminy Crickets!" were euphemisms for "Jesus Christ!"

I don't know why it took me so many years to realize that.
