We have noticed an increase of murder via constricting ever since banning spoons, therefore we do not recommend banning spoons.

Ok I'll bitch about the Arpio business too. Trump just proved that he's willing to jump to the rescue applying national power to local issues to protect racist bastards like himself. If a bad cop "tough on crime" and praises Trump, they can expect a get-out-of-jail card.

I don't know much about Arpaio other than the blurbs I've read (and yeah I could go read more, but I'm tired of that for every single story that comes up) but if an Arizona court (state that leans Right) convicted the guy in a highly public trial, then it means he was probably guilty.

Someone asked if he was 5 in LPTPW. He said yes. But it was a lie!

Fun part of the Sherrif Joe saga: Trump apparently tried to get the case dropped before it ever went to trial, was advised that would be inappropriate, so he just waited it out and pardoned the guy. Sort of like how he tried to get the Flynn case dropped ahead of time...and the investigation into himself dropped....

Good job on the media helping Trump paint Antifa as the bad guys. These idiots want to call themselves "the resistance" but all they do is tweet sass. They won't do shit when push comes to shove so gj pushing the people who actually will resist to the margins.

Honestly, with the daily toxic pro Trump shit I read I'm surprised Antifa even exists.


There's a much longer conversation there about the spectrum of pacifism versus action. Too passive and youre a naive asshole who is basically enabling criminals to kill countless people and youre probably a self righteous prick as millions die just because you yourself didnt get your hands dirty. Too far in the other direction and youre an indiscriminate serial killer who has no interest in ethics.

As much I might wish it otherwise The Punisher/Dexter doesnt exist. It seems no one can really straddle that perfect sweet spot of controlled violence targeted against evil.

I mean have you heard of even one real life vigilante that targets criminals?

Wouldn't matter if there was because different groups would misrepresent and try to portray them on different lights based on agendas. Basically J. Jonah Jameson but there's a 1000 of him with about 3 or 4 different perspectives. The people with the same perspectives all reinforcing each other and criticizing the other Jamesons.

Also, it's kind of ridiculous to paint a group with one brush when all you have to do to be a member of the group is say you're a member of the group. The difference is the white supremacists are all white supremacists, whether they're attacking/killing people or not. Antifa are only all antifascist. They may all believe that violence is an option for fighting fascism, but that doesn't mean they're all breaking windows of Starbucks or whatever (god forbid they cross our corporate overlords though, even if that activity is pointless it's not even in the same ballpark of bad as Nazis running into people with cars.)

It sucks ass that the 2 state troopers who died in a faulty helicopter were added to the charlottesville death toll.

Ive seen nothing to suggest the incident was even related. It might as well have been 50 miles away.

For that matter I think some people think antifa straight up murdered 3 people.

The Fake News against Antifa is pretty hardcore right now. It's basically the mainstream perspective that Antifa is a giant murderous mob out to destroy all straight, white men. Because that even makes sense.

In other Fake News, the RDM saw a bunch of references to a Mosque in the Houston area that was refusing to allow non-Muslim refugees in for storm relief. Turns out said Mosque literally doesn't exist, and the picture of the Imam they were using is a guy who has never even been to Texas.

They're just trying to cover the Joel Osteen thing. And rile up generic anti-Muslim sentiment.

How about that disaster response from Trump, though? "Half the country is drowning or burning. Now is the time to kick out the children I don't like."

Trump almost seems to be daring the liberals to revolt. Probably because he knows they won't. They'd rather come up with excuses not to, like "fighting evil is also evil."

We prefer to spend hours coming up with the most clever picket sign slogan we can because we're too self-interested to organize ourselves in a way that's actually productive.

Well the definition is loose, but if they’re holding off to see if it was politically motivated or religiously motivated before calling it terrorism I’m okay with it.

Gotta draw the line at a place that’s not white and brown.


Oh wait that’s rifht the white terrorist attack in Quebec City wasn’t a terror attack because white misunderstood male did the attack :x

Who the fuck cares? The important takeaway is that the NRA is a terrorist organization. They're lobbying is holding the whole populace hostage in fear of these kinds of attacks. They try to control everyone to buy guns. Not that everyone having a gun would even help, but let's ask why we should all be forced to have guns to cater to these man-babies and their obsession with their toys? How the fuck is everyone having guns supposed to make you feel safer than no one having guns and why should we sacrifice that because they won't even give in on the most reasonable of restrictions. Fuck them. They're the ones who should be taken out with drone strikes.

Imagine if you were in a crowd like that, and you realized someone was shooting. You pull your gun and look around for who to shoot to be a hero and you see dozens of people in all directions holding and perhaps firing guns.

Boy, wouldn't everyone be safer!

I saw a picture in my twitter feed earlier on and wasn't sure if it was real. Then I saw the AMA. My bad on the pronouns. I didn't read in detail, just kinda skimmed her twitter feed for photos.

Birth of a White Supremacist

This isn't exactly news, but it's an incredibly interesting article. I feel sorry for this guy, although he's doing terrible things at this point. I was particularly interested in his well-off liberal parents who don't see themselves as responsible for their son at all, but who come across as emotionally distant.

Looks like Charlie Sheen is the monster whp raped Corey Haim. He's already known to be depraved, so not a huge surprise there I guess.

Yeah that was fucked up to read. I also read that Corey wanted to fool around more with Sheen after he raped him. I don't know what Sheen said to make Haim want to carry on. It could have been a latch on type of thing, but holy shit. One can only wonder at this point.


You gotta wonder just how much farther this huge exposing of the depravity and sickness of Hollywood's biggest names and stars is going to go. I honestly don't see it any time soon. I also hope it doesn't stop until everyone is fucking exposed. Every day it seems like Hollywood is almost like a child sex trafficking ring protected by powerful people and a shit load of hush hush money. You have to wonder how low the percentage is of child stars that made it through without being violated by these sick fucks.
