I read books every day. But you're probably thinking I should get one from the young adults rack where you shop.

As someone with Jewish family members, I find your absurd and inaccurate trivializing of Hitler's actions during WW2 offensive. However, my personal offense is unimportant. What is, is that you're wrong and misrepresenting the truth.

I'll admit, I don't like the tariffs, and in most cases they are not helpful. The less government gets involved in markets the better for everyone. However, the economy was weakening under Biden, and socialist policies have NEVER built a functional economy. The Democrats are more invasive than R's.

Yes, I've heard that before. No matter how many times it's tried it is never 'real Communism'. Tell me, why do you think that is? Do you understand the inherent disconnect between a fictional ideology and real world human behaviors? What magical ingredient would give you your real Communism?

Al Roberts @notrumpinmypants.bsky.social · 2h

Which has been tried repeatedly, and because it ignores or trivializes key aspects of human nature, never works, and always creates bad outcomes. Also, a society without private property is a society without individual freedoms. Human being are not Smurfs; Communism only works on the printed page.

Really? What would a left wing party look like? Point to one in the real world.

There's also a bill for shit-ton of cocaine, but he always gets around to paying his dealer.

If you really want to resists fascism, you head to a country controlled by a dictator, like Maduro in Venezuela, and you put your life on the line, fighting the real thing. You can wear a mask while doing it too. That's 'punkest'.

Have they got a chapter on slavery and a few more on the constant very violent wars between tribes? I've noticed that a lot of these books push the 'noble savage' angle, as opposed to seeking historical accuracy at the expense of treating the indigenous as something other than angels.

You men, the majority, are happiest when inside of young women.

Send me your address, I'll get together all of your family, friends and pets! We'll stage an intervention, and an exorcism, and a play about sobriety. Remember, only you can stop forest fires!

Don't do it. Neurotic thoughts and wine is a terrible combination. You don't need either. Just say no to mental instability and drugs.

It means a collectivist system of tyranny that has caused the deaths of hundreds of millions, and drowned entire countries in poverty.

Al Roberts @notrumpinmypants.bsky.social · 21h

You're really obsessed with both Trump and Bluesky (hyper active). Do you really think he's the source of all evil, as you imply? If you can't say anything good about any of his policies or accomplishments, then your unbalanced perspective isn't realistic. He's no DeSantis, but he's not awful.

Al Roberts @notrumpinmypants.bsky.social · 21h

No, ICE (not Trump) deports illegal aliens. This is normal. Obama did the same, at a faster and greater rate than Trump has.

Al Roberts @notrumpinmypants.bsky.social · 21h

You do know that everyone gets paid in the end? It's just delayed. Also, Trump didn't shut down the government, that's not how it works. Don't you think the Democrats had some agency there?

Al Roberts @notrumpinmypants.bsky.social · 21h

You understand that the economy is complex, with a lot of moving parts, and that EVERY politician lies. However, you're claiming the lie was his intent, and I think he's making an effort to improve things.

Hamas will target clans and groups that have shown opposition to the terror group - it will also target those that have worked with Israel, or who it accuses of working with Israel.

Does that mean you can't use zero or ones? Or does it mean you can't pee, because you don't have either hole for it to come out of?

Here's a leftist new site explaining the legal basis for deportation of illegals: www.bbc.com/news/article...

Alien Enemies Act: The 1798 law Trump used to deport migrants

The wartime Alien Enemies Act has been controversially used to deport Venezuelans to a mega-jail in El Salvador.

There is a character limit to responses here. Pick your strongest argument and focus on it; I'm happy to address that. But if you shotgun broad lies and partial lies, there's little that be responded too. Treating Trump like Mussolini, is at odds with the facts.

Al Roberts @notrumpinmypants.bsky.social · 1d

Pardon, but if you're concerned about Venezuelans, then you should be focused on Maduro. Please research how he treated people after his last faux election, and try to understand why millions have fled Venezuela. Want to help? Fight socialism, it always bring poverty, misery and fascism.
