Just remember, if voting didn't matter, the GOP wouldn't try so hard to keep you from doing it.

If only there was a term they could use referencing the use and threat of violence in order to achieve political gains. It feels like that's a word that should exist already, and that Republicans should all be considered the domestic version of whatever kind of person would do that.

Sure, but they're not asking you before they do it. If one candidate has gone on record saying a certain demographic should have their rights stripped, and there's a district that is populated by mainly that demographic, they don't need to poll the area to guess who's going to lose that district.

Because certain people with power find it advantageous to make it difficult for the people in certain areas to vote. If you know that district isn't going to vote for you, and morality is a thing that happens to other people, you could make the polling place too small with too few workers.

Tell us you don't know what you're talking about without actually telling us.

They're banking on their service still being better. In the short term they assume their particular selection of content will provide some inertia to your decision to move, and long term they expect all of the other options are going to do the same thing. Eventually, you'll only be able to stream with commercials, and they'll be back to the balance of their content being the only deciding factor.

Elmo was really hoping he found a SovCit level loophole to just escape all consequences.

It's not Insane, it's just wrong. People who can't afford bail can generally get a bail bond, which will front the cost in exchange for the defendant paying about 10% IIRC. The thinking is that people who aren't considered a flight risk, and aren't a risk to the community, shouldn't be imprisoned until there's a guilty verdict, and putting money on the line that they lose if they don't show up to court will encourage them to show up.

On the surface, it's not an insane thought. It's just... wrong. It just doesn't really work. In practice it really does just disproportionately punish those who are already suffering, while also making it possible for the wealthy to further escape any consequences.

it’s either a crater or a hole. Fuck

Don't you mean either a crater or a tunnel?

Indentation: "Am I a joke to you?"

I love that you linked the exact proof that you're wrong, and still keep holding on. That is absolutely not a "Minimum Speed Limit." I really don't think you understand what "Speed Limit" actually means.

My opinion is only that I'm not going to get attached, guy's probably not going to be here long. That's all.

It seems pretty clear that if he can't have it, he'll do his best to make sure nobody else can either.

I really tried to give the benefit of the doubt in interpreting the dumb shit he said, but there just is no version of his idiot ramblings that actually makes sense.

When all else fails, just tell flat out lies. It's the Republican Way!

The real point here is that he was not in danger until he sought it out. He didn't suddenly find himself a bystander in a dangerous situation, he went out of his way to place himself there. He actively sought this situation out, placed himself in harm's way, put in active effort to get himself involved. He then acted like he was just defending himself when he found the exact situation he'd been actively seeking, just so that he had a convenient excuse to shoot some black people.

Elon Musk's greatest personal achievement has been his tireless work and incredible effort toward disproving the myth of Billionaire Exceptionalism.

Only the police are allowed to do crimes, the rest of us just get purged.

If he doesn't personally invade any countries, and calls for gun violence against "the undesirables" instead of gas chambers, does he still escape the Nazi label? I need to know what the line is exactly according to you, because he's already trying to put political enemies on an intimidation list and time may be short.

He just wanted to kill people. That they were black made it more attractive, and the property crime was a convenient excuse.
