they don’t like to say “terrorist”

Is it wrong to pirate movies…

…lemme stop you right there

There are an awful lot of people in America who are above the law. We get to watch them break the law on TV, then they dare us to try to hold them accountable.

fucking corrupt coward is begging someone to hold him accountable

holding the delusion that people are naturally good

Nope! Just recognizing the truth that I, within myself, can be better and that I can accept the idea of being taken advantage of by the occasional bad faith actor in exchange for being able to be part of a broader community of people who do the right thing most of the time.

Cynicism is laziness masquerading as intellectualism. It’s the “step 1: give up!” of philosophies.

Dope! Let’s do it in court where if you’re right we can restore you to your rightful office and if you’re lying you’ll go to prison for the rest of your life.

These corrupt, lying fuckers also said they wouldn’t overturn Roe. This court needs to be dissolved and anyone who so much as bummed a cig from someone with business before the court needs to be imprisoned. You want your word to be law and the only oversight to be literal death? You need to be absolutely flawless at all times. None of this “well technically it’s not illegal” garbage.

The rule of law isn’t a supernatural force, it’s a bargain with the angry masses. If you don’t honor the bargain, why would they?

his other option is to mount no real defense at all. he’s already in the trap.

it didn’t even go that far. Alito said “the court has rules that justices have to abide by”. We said “What are they?” and now he’s acting like a comic book villain.

We’ve gone from “we’re not corrupt” to “you can’t do anything about it”. He’s not denying the corruption at all anymore.

Trump I believe is their perfect idiot. He’s acting exactly how he has always acted, and there’s just way too many times he’s been super hype to admit to felonies on tape. If you want an example of playing stupid as a psyop, google George W Bush debating with Al Gore and doing wild shit like calling astronauts “spatial entrepreneurs”, then google his debates with Ann Richards for the governorship of Texas. That man was playing stupid for the stupid.

Stop assuming they’re stupid. They’re not stupid. They’re monsters, they know exactly what they’re doing and they’re doing it because they want people to suffer.

Came here to say this. How many times are we gonna watch one of them “accidentally” quote Hitler in a speech, or talk about the benefits of slavery, or talk about how they want to make women second-class citizens, then pretend that they didn’t? They gathered under a banner at CPAC that said ‘We are all domestic terrorists’. When someone tells you who they are, believe them.

It was one of the most woke movies I have ever seen

I wonder how many hours our representatives spend working

ftfy. they have the cushiest jobs in the world, and even then a lot of representatives can’t be bothered to show up for votes

I was beaten at school in the 80s and I know I can’t speak for everyone who suffered from abuse but for a lot of us, in my experience a plurality if not an outright majority of us, the jokes are the only way we can take any power back. If we cry, they win.

Thank you for endeavoring to create a safe space for us, though. Doubly so for doing it through dialog rather than force. Beehaw is a pretty special place because, so far at least, we can assume everyone is trying to be decent and willing to talk about and modify behavior to that end where appropriate. I’m grateful to y’all every time I pop on here.

if they were concerned about popularity it would make sense to sponsor popular bills. and let’s be honest, most anti-abortion advocates are in favor of abortion when they want one.

6 weeks is effectively a ban. That’s not even enough time to know you’re pregnant.

I know that’s their intent, but I don’t understand why they aren’t just going for an all-out ban. That would really rile up their rabid idiot supporters, and their strategy is clearly to motivate the base rather than to reach across the aisle. Why not go whole hog? They just got clearance from SCotUS to do it.
