Weirdly enough the police opposed the expungements here. These idiots have managed to unite everyone against them

It's typically a bad idea in negotiations to say "the thing you want to happen will happen if you don't do what I want!"

Yeah it was only a matter of time before you explicitly lumped Indians into the persona non grata list. I always knew you guys would eventually just say "fuck all brown people". This is exactly why Indians born in the West to Indian immigrants have strong solidarity with other brown people regardless of their religion. We don't trust you conservatives and never will.

You came invaded our ancestral country, subjugated us, stole our natural resources, and divided us. You still have items you stole from us in your museums. And you have the audacity to say that Indians and Muslims are invading Europe after Europe invaded us and stole from us.

Naw. This is why we're on the left. Fuck you all. If you say we're invading you, then fuck it. We are invading you, and we've raised "anchor babies" as sleeper cell spies -- and we're going to save the West from you pathetic conservative colonizers.

I'm pretty sure I read earlier today that the national Republican party was urging Republicans to vote to protect contraception so they could argue they weren't that extreme and Democrats were being over the top.

And right after reading it, I thought about how Republicans were absolutely not going to pay any attention to that guidance. The inmates are running the asylum, and it's time to let them burn the party down.

Something tells me that if Warren was the option you'd still have a litany of complaints about why you weren't going to vote for her

This article should make it even more patently clear to everyone that the situation in Palestine would get much worse if Trump wins.

I think it is actually canon now that he sometimes talked with Qui Gon. Before he leaves Tatooine to go save Leia, Qui Gon says something like "see you soon", and Obi Wan goes "huh that was weird for him say"

I volunteer as tribute.

What do you mean by forcing himself on his knees to suck the other guy off? It comes across as a subservience thing that sucking dick makes someone lesser.

I don't know how many of their comments are still visible, but hoo boy. Tantrum is a mild way to put it. They're utterly unhinged.

If you cannot exercise enough self-control to keep your mouth shut, I am not responsible for that.

You're the one who's posted two replies within a few minutes lmao

Regardless though, I thank you for your response. It isn't often that someone proves of their own accord that they're completely unhinged.

Feel free to keep responding though. You're just proving the point further and further, and I doubt that's going to end. Go ahead, keep projecting. I'm enjoying the free entertainment.

You should take your own advice instead of screeching at everyone. I must admit though, you're quite right, my head does hurt from reading your awful mental gymnastics.

Don't you think your constant rage at everyone is a sign here that you're doing something hypocritical and wrong?

I'm guessing probably not, but people have come to epiphanies of self growth from even less likely situations.

Biden could have put massive pressure on his party to pass the Equality Act to safeguard the rights of people of any sexuality or gender. He could have done so fiercely and publicly, and campaigned in the home states of those like Manchin and Sinema to threaten their seats if they did not comply.

Somehow I don't think "be mean to them!" would've made them suddenly fall in line. I find so often that arguments get distilled down to this, that Biden just needs to say the right words and then everyone will agree with him.

That's not how it works. If it was, Sanders would be president with a House and Senate that were 100% progressive. The uncomfortable fact is that there is no malicious self sabotage here -- it just wasn't possible.

Regarding Roe, there have never been 60 Democrat senators in favor of codifying Roe, or 50 Democrat senators willing to overturn the filibuster to codify it. Progressive senators needed to be elected, and weren't. If everyone who wanted abortion to be an unalienable right went out and voted for a progressive senator in 2016, 2020, or 2022, it could've easily been passed. But people didn't bother.

Perhaps those Senate candidates should've fiercely campaigned and denigrated pro abortion voters who refused to come out and vote? After all, you claim it's a magic cure all strategy to get people to do what you want.

Could you explain what specific actions Biden could take to achieve these without needing Congress?

"If he just says mean words about them they'll come around! So will Republicans! He just needs to loudly criticize him!"

"But he's done that"

"HE'S NOT SAYING THE RIGHT MAGIC WORDS"

It's quite interesting how it always comes down to this argument, that Biden just needs to be mean to Manchin and Sinema and then they'll do everything that Biden says. Some extend the same logic to Republicans, which is just hilariously laughable.

Weren't you just criticizing someone for invalidating your experiences? That's exactly what you're doing right now to the person above.

If they say shit is much better for them and their loved ones right now, don't say they're just pretending that's the case. If you want to be respected for saying things are personally no better for you, don't tell someone else they're just pretending if they say things are better for them now.

Otherwise you just come off as an incredibly disingenuous asshole.

I mean, you've only mentioned Palestine. You're being indifferent to Russia's attempted genocide of Ukraine, the genocide in Darfur, and the Uighur Genocide.

Are you truly indifferent to them? Or are they just among the global issues you're worried about?

If you can only focus on one thing at once, how are you deciding on which genocide to focus on?

Homophobia on the first day of Pride. Really?

However, does that radius expand if a second cop gets in between and starts walking your way? That sounds like an entrapment issue.

If the wording in this article is correct, the radius would stay the same. It talks about approaching officers, not being approached by officers. If they close the gap, that's on them.

No disagreements there. I'm more concerned about the power usage than the water usage anyway.
