And when they show up on a domestic dispute, they’ll take the abusers side so that they don’t have to risk any form of conflict. The battered spouse isn’t going to fight you if you try to arrest them! (2 and half years now - no answers or report on why “your husband wants to move in a prostitute - time for you to leave” happened)
California’s gun restrictions happened when the Black Panthers tried to argue that 2A applied to them too. 2A has always only applied to certain kinds of people.
Pro V&V approved 4 separate updates on voting machine software and firmware between March 2024 and September 2024. Between them, the updates covered many, possibly most, of the voting machines in use across the U.S.
Why would we trust a company that has let its website disintegrate publicly for over six months, to test complex electronic equipment that we rely on to determine who controls the treasury, the military and the policy of our entire nation?
I don’t know how it would make any sense for multiple candidates that voted for a Dem candidate for governor to have zero votes for Harris. That’s an insane statistical anomaly.
Trump started calling the 2020 election fraud months before people even voted.
If you listened to “The Kill” at the right time and place, it makes sense. Emo teens eat that shit up. Which sucks, because those appear to be some of his favorite victims.
It’s kind of interesting how all of these guys will have these stories attached to them for years until anyone cares.
Sorta like Cosby - people knew, but nobody gave a shit until Hannibal Buress started calling it out.
They get away with it for years, live glamorous wealthy lives that give them access to tons of victims, and if they are ever punished it doesn’t last long.
I got in trouble at multiple points for reading books during recess/bringing them to lunch. For some reason, it made some teachers really upset. It wasn’t even that they were school library books - just that I wasn’t supposed to have books at recess or something.
What was really ridiculous was the troubled teen facility/alternative “school” I went to (as a punishment for tattling on my mom for all of her drugs/attempting to kill myself because she was a psycho bitch I couldn’t escape from).
They would punish me for things that “happened” at home, so she would tell them that I cussed/fought my sister/did drugs.
The absolutely insane thing though: I wanted to watch Fight Club. My mom had friends over and was drinking, I asked her permission to watch the movie, she gave me permission, I watched the movie (I had read the book so many times, fell in love with it as a silly teenager.)
The next day, she was angry that I had taken advantage of her being drunk by tricking her into letting me watch the movie. (Big thing with her - getting punished retroactively because she didn’t mean to give me permission for something.)
So I was sent to school with my “stoplights” being all red.
We had to come up with “goals” that we would work on to improve ourselves at the school. I genuinely thought I had done something wrong, so I made my goal “not to ask my mother for permission to do things when she is drinking.”
This lead to consequences. We had a meeting, where I was told saying things like that was dangerous, implied my mom was an alcoholic (the bitch had DUIs!!! My siblings and I used to show off how good our lungs were by starting the car because it had a fucking breathalyzer), and that I could be taken away and put in foster care.
I lost my “progress” in my levels, and spent a week in the red with no privileges - because my mom was a fucking oxy popping lush.
This is the “funny” story there. What they did in retaliation to my allegations of sexual abuse was far worse.
They spent years saying that Obama was going to declare martial law and end elections.
Then, Trump supporters literally stage a coup and there are no consequences. They made Carter give up his peanut farm, but Trump can keep all of his shady illegal businesses?
I would LOVE to leave Oklahoma. But a lot of the same reasons I want to leave are the reasons I’m trapped here (legal discrimination against trans people, absolutely no form of support for domestic violence survivors, and crippling PTSD from growing up in a state that doesn’t view me as human.)
The GOP has no problem with child rape, as long as it’s older guy on younger girl, and if the younger girl has parents that matter, you need to marry her first.
Rest in piss Ronnie Raygun!
