Douglas County is a Republican area in Colorado. In between the very red area of Colorado Springs and blue Denver. These are conservative policies.

Is your contention that conservatives aren't doing these things? They literally voted down the bill that cut child poverty in half. What the hell are we arguing about here?

And that they're targeting American citizens to be sent to El Salvador as well.

Here's another one. There are cases of places banning charity all over the place. Hell, you can't give out bottles of water to people stuck in line outside in Georgia if they happen to be voting. They cut social programs and claim churches/charities will pick up the slack, and then attack said churches/charities.

My point is here that conservatives will simply attack anything they feel is in their way. They simply want control. They want homeless people to be homeless because "they deserve to be homeless". They have absolutely no problem attacking charitable efforts, even if it has no impact on them whatsoever. They want to maintain the social hierarchy they feel should be in place.

it’s just systematic discrimination

I don't understand how fixing existing discrimination is in itself discrimination. People are not being oppressed because they aren't being given special treatment anymore. DEI policies have absolutely nothing to do with quotas or giving protected classes special treatment.

I've yet to see any conservatives argue against charity.

They absolutely argue against charity if said charity benefits those they don't like.

Ready or Not has gotten to be pretty solid.

You're better off turning the device off entirely. Lockdown mode doesn't put the device back into a BFU state so you're still leaving room for an exploit from Cellebrite or Greykey. Not having that first unlock after you turned the device on gives them a shitload of problems.

We're pretty lucky

Luck has nothing to do with it. We've actively decided to allow this shit to happen. The USA isn't unlucky, we just fucking suck.

As a little treat.

Whatever it's looking at is FUCKED.

I seldom find myself disagreeing with anything that Robert Evans has to say.

Way to go, now the Spider Mafia is going to find him and break his legs for sure.

At this point it's difficult to take this critique seriously when right wing gun nuts use arguing over minutiae like this to prevent any kind of constructive discussion whatsoever.

Yes, there is a technical definition of an "assault rifle". It's also a shorthand that regular people not familiar with firearms use to mean "gun that looks like something the military carries" or something approaching that. It's not even relevant here. We do not need to break up every single discussion involving firearms with arguments over meaningless definitions.

I fully support putting Trump and Musk in a room with a polar bear.

Not even grifting. He's fucking golfing.

Edit: immediately after typing that I remembered his golfing is a fucking grift.

And we have a clear avenue to remove some of that corruption. There's absolutely no reason not to take it. The only other path is literally burning it all down and starting over. And burning it all down is way more pain than people realize.

Oh don't worry, I'm sure some of them are vaccinated but still has to suffer because of these dumb fucks and shitty luck.

Everyone (rightfully) shitting on the Democratic Party: this is where you put your money where your mouth is. This is how you get rid of the people you're complaining about.

Yeah I don't see this going much different than the early German resistance at this point...we're in for some rough shit.

not hindering equals assisting

I said absolutely no such thing. I said assisting a Nazi is choosing not to hinder them.

And you know absolutely nothing about my habits, what I do, or what I buy so fuck off with that bad faith nonsense and stop defending Nazis.
