"I'm sorry that I didn't know there was video evidence."

He's running low on money to stage his own rallies.

Now he's forced to show up to all of these events that are not staged by his own campaign and where he can't control who gets in.

He's trying to choose places and events where there's still a very large likelihood that thousands of people will cheer for him instead of boo him, but he can no longer threaten to throw people out or have them beaten up if they don't like him.

Must be hard for him.

These cars don't even go onto highways or areas where accidents are more likely.

Accidents are less likely on highways. Most accidents occur in urban settings. Most deadly accidents occur outside of cities, off-highway.

It's insane how much these people make Trump part of their identity.

I remember when these people would taunt liberals by sarcastically referring to Obama as "the Messiah." Turns out that was just projection, too.

Feels a bit ridiculous.

Even low-balling Trump's supposed wealth, that's like setting bond for the average person at $7.50.

Just such an insane photo in general.

The all white crowd? The absolutely insane looking lady, holding the scared looking baby? The "Thank You, Lord JESUS, FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP" sign?

Just as an example, look at insurance companies leaving Florida because of climate change associated risks, and how right-wingers are blaming this on "wokeism" instead of acknowledging climate change.

He also says

Our Founders lay this case out. There’s actually a provision in the Declaration of Independence that a people will suffer abuses while they remain sufferable, tolerable while they remain tolerable. At some point abuses become so intolerable that it becomes not only their right but their duty to alter or abolish the existing government.

But he's not just asking a philosophical question. He's one of the people at the core of the conspiracy to overturn the 2020 presidential election and keep Trump in power.

Here, he's providing his ideological underpinnings that he believes gave him the right to alter or abolish the existing government.

Sure, here he's just asking the question if revolution is necessary - but he already answered it in deed when he tried to keep Trump in power against the expressed wish of the electorate.

Doesn't work with Android 13 and up, correct?

I would also like to learn about this law that apparently prevents Google Maps from showing speed limits in my country, but allows Waze to do so.

Clearly the driver is at fault here, but a case can be made (and apparently, was) that this would not have been possible had you not provided access to the car to the perp in question.

This is the equivalent of holding gun manufacturers culpable if someone buys a gun from them and then uses it to commit murder - right?

That's true for the entire conservative culture wars.

It takes no effort to steer a conversation about a prominent right-wing social media figure who harps on prominent right-wing culture war issues towards conservatives.

Those things are literally the same topic.

Nothing Clinton said about coal was "stupid shit."

She just told people the truth, and people prefer to be lied to over hearing uncomfortable truths.

Same happened to Al Gore: he told people the truth, and people went absolutely bonkers over that.

By contrast, Trump told people exactly what they wanted to hear, even though it was clear to anyone that he was lying to them or promising them things that he could never, ever fulfill - and people loved it.

Former Republican president/Republican presidential candidate has dinner with Nazi. College Republican invite Nazi as guest speaker. MAGA Republicans invite Nazi to speak at their rallye.

Republicans, when confronted with this: "Why are you calling us Nazis!?!?!?!!"

That article is from 1992 and shows the history of the progression of the cohort names.

Yes, it is, and it describes how the Black community has moved through various iterations of preferred terminology.

What it doesn't support is the claims you've made: that these terms were invented by "progressives" (rather than by the community itself), that "progressives" came up with those new terms in order to feel superior, that "progressives" came up with those new terms in order to shame those who don’t follow their changes.

You've also implied that you don't have a problem referring to a community using the terminology they themselves decide to use in order to refer to themselves.

So on the one hand it would appear that you perceive changing etymology as an attack by progressive on you, on the other hand you claim you're okay with a community deciding for itself what terminology to use (and presumably also to change that terminology).

Those two things seem contradictory.

Alright.

I've gone to the trouble to download that article. Just for reference, here's the abstract:

Labels plays an important role in defining groups and individuals who belong to the groups. This has been especially true for racial and ethnic groups in general and for Blacks in particular. Over the past century the standard term for Blacks has shifted from "Colored" to "Negro" to "Black" and now perhaps to "African American." The changes can be seen as attempts by Blacks to redefine themselves and to gain respect and standing in a society that has held them to be subordinate and inferior.

and I see nothing in the article itself that would say otherwise.

In other words: this is talking about the Black community deciding for itself what they wish to use as preferred terminology to refer to themselves.

There's nothing in there about "progressives." There's nothing in there about progressives "feeling superior to others." There's nothing in there about progressives "shaming those who don't follow their changes."

What if progressives are just more accepting of the notion that groups of people should be able to decide what they like to be called?

Then what makes you believe that it's "progressives" that are responsible for changing the "name of the cohort every few years?"
