California is down in St. Mary’s County

ACLU lawyers have the invoices at the ready
But if we criticize their criminality and hypocrisy, then they’ll lose.
They certainly won’t lose because of said criminality and hypocrisy, no. It’s because we couldn’t shut the fuck up and gawk at the other side
What we can criticize him on is the point of “ew I don’t want to think about you of all people fucking”
It didn’t even show me a blank page. It just turned off my screen
Don’t forget the racism. The NRA’s perfectly fine with throwing away gun rights if it means making sure only white people are armed. For example, even as Harlon Carter was ramping up his crusade to turn the NRA from a sportsman’s organization into the gun lobby, the NRA still supported the Mulford Act, because at least that was taking guns away from those damn ni- I mean, “violent extremists”. They were dead silent when a legal, responsible gun owner like Philando Castile was killed. They never said anything when the textbook definition of a “good guy with a gun”, Emantic Bradford, was killed. And we all know damn well why.
The Harlon Carter school of gun rights comes with a major caveat present in many strains of conservatism: no restrictions as long as you’re part of the right group.
I will say this though, the issue is still pretty complicated, because basically both sides have some history of racism (gun control first started as ways to assuage fears of black uprisings, plus the aforementioned Mulford Act), but then, what part of American society isn’t in some way permeated by our racist history?
I still don’t know how he keeps winning even as the county gets bluer and bluer
She has to be trying to pander to the “No Labels” crowd, because I’m pretty sure they’re the only ones left who like her. The GOP are now in decade 3 of their smear campaign against her, and Democrats just want her to go the fuck away after fumbling 2016 away.
Simple reason: the base is rabid for Trump, and Trump is extremely vindictive. Cross him, and your grasp on power is gone. Cozy up to him, and you get just a bit more power, which is all these ghouls care about.
95% of them don’t believe in anything except whatever gets them ahead.
Palaces like Versailles and Sanssouci get millions of visitors every year without a group of racists and pedophiles around and actively in power to give it some greater meaning.
At the same time, I see why they’d doubt this, given it sounds similar to the rash of articles about stores closing in cities because of “out-of-control crime” before the midterms, only for the real reasons like corporate reorganization or unionbusting to trickle out later.
The fact that Hyundai and Kia chose not to include an industry standard anti-theft system, leading to them being piss easy to steal
Why did we have to fight a war to stop people from owning people of a different race?
I love the actual product, but loathe the attempts at feigning some sort of progressivism that always manages to put on blast the fact that its founder was a center-right Spanish politician.
Also, Hazel Southwell is literally right there.
One of the worst parts is that there are many valid reasons to criticize Bill Gates with regards to the COVID vaccine (mainly as it pertains to his intellectual property crusade leading to a few companies getting to dictate the rollout and screwing over the Global South in the process), but it’s all drowned out by these idiots screaming about microchips.
Half-eaten hot bar food/sushi stashed behind an endcap of Diet Sprite was my personal favorite to find
The death of 4 is aquatic praxis
There’s a certain irony in Google only being useful to find Reddit links, but Reddit’s own search engine being so dogshit that you can’t find anything on the site unless you Google it
I’m mostly on Tidal. I like the higher quality and the increased pay-out options. If I really like the music, I’ll either buy it on vinyl or Bandcamp, especially if it’s a smaller artist
They kind of already do, what with the most terrifying major airport being named after John Wayne, and the other shitty DC airport (you’re better off flying into BWI and taking MARC down) being named after Reagan
