Bro never left Mom's birth canal.

Sounds more like he is an edgelord with autocratic tendencies rather than a true fascist. I have one in my class as well. When you "fight" them with logic and facts, they shut down quickly. They literally have nothing beyond the talking points of their favorite podcaster or Tiktok personality. Just continue to expose students like this to the many and horrific failures of autocracy and the good that democracy has done.

I'm a historian. Higher degrees, published, all that jazz. I am 100% convinced that history will look back on MAGA like the KKK. Only your edgy, dumb ass uncle will fly their flag in his garage and won't care because he can't be cancelled because he doesn't work anyway.

Reading these opinions has given me a headache. Trump supporters throw around words like socialism and communism without even knowing what they mean. They must think that Canada is a communist nation by their logic.

There are actually medics at protests. Some of them are legit and have medical training. Others are LARPers. I believe one of Kyle Rittenhouse's victims was one but had actual paramedic training.

Skill issue. Works for everyone else.

We already know (with a plethora of evidence) that there are massive Eastern European bot farms trolling social media to support Trump. So, no, it wouldn't surprise me if you are being targeted by them. Reddit Conservative is mostly populated by them now and I am pretty sure none of the moderators there are even American.

We didn't have terrible twos either. Both of ours had miserable threes.

He's going to be running against the legacy that he leaves behind, if he even leaves anything behind and if we even ever get to vote again.

I do an absolute ton of driving and can't tell you the number of times I've seen someone either getting a BJ or fingered on America's highways. Or when you go to a truck stop and see a lot lizard getting into a trucker's cab.

Recent polling says Jack voters are excited to vote for him whereas Mikie, most are just voting for her because she isn't Jack. That isn't a winning strategy.

All you guys have is straw man arguments. Huh? You're all an embarrassment to gun owners with a brain.

Don't buy from AA. He's a racist ass.

The GOP also does this. It's a political tactic when redistricting is skewed in favor of one party. Gerrymandering for any party is wrong.

I have read and agree to the rules.

Last year the PDF released an awesome video of a well executed ambush on a convoy. Now this? Did all their experienced fighters die or something?

Get off Reddit, Matt.

That's a $27 billion surplus due to the tariffs. We, the taxpayers, paid for that surplus on the things we buy. This is not conservative. Tariffs are hurting our small American companies.

The entire administration has no credibility.

It's not just "liberals" that dislike Columbus. He was so bad in his own time that he was recalled to Spain and not allowed to return to the New World. He was a sadistic pedophile. Besides for Columbus' own writings about how he abused, raped, murdered and tortured natives, we also have the accounts of Bartolomé de las Casas and Michele de Cuneo who tell of the same. Columbus was a psycho, even for his own time.

Happy you can still celebrate. We won't be. The 4th is about celebrating our independence from a monarchy. We no longer have that.

I'm a former Catholic and my wife is Catholic. She said it was important to her to raise our kids Catholic. I said, "Okay but I don't support it. I will attend church and help them with prayers but I won't lie to them and tell them I believe." My wife didn't like that answer but accepted it. It's been 10 years of having kids and my wife only makes us go to church on Easter and Christmas. She hasn't put in any of the work on religious education or shown it as a priority. Therefore, our kids are growing up as weird deists.

Empty threat. NYPD union is super powerful and those cops make a lot of money for little work. They also retire nice and early as long as they don't mess up beyond union protections.

Newark is not bad anymore unless you are being stupid (walking through Avondale at 2 AM wearing all your jewelry). Especially compared to Camden and Trenton. Newark has had the benefit of two mayors with higher ambitions so they have worked hard to improve the city. Booker got a ton of new businesses to move to Newark and brought in arts and entertainment. Baraka has done well keeping it together and keeping crime low in the city. During BLM, Newark didn't even have riots or mass protests because the people have no issues with the PD there.
