The fact it is brought up in debate in Congress drives me nuts.

That should immediately get them shut down.

"But the Bible says..."
*Gavel*
"Get out. This isn't book club. You're a representative, not a preacher. Come back when you can be serious."

3 strikes and a special election is held.

It's a combined bar chart. It is correct, but only proves the opposite of her "point".

The longer bars are Right wing.

She don't know how to read a combined bar chart. It contradicts her statement.

I believe Bondi has screwed this up so badly that both Luigi and Taylor are gonna walk.

Regardless of guilt or innocence.

...all so they can blame the "liberal judges", and incite their base to even more violence (and then declare martial law).

Kiss the hand that beats you.

That's basically what they are saying there.

Hell no. My fucking dog knows better than this sniveling suckup.

I am so using that one!

I'm hearing we've had over a decade to put road blocks in place to keep p25 from being possible, but we didn't because...?

I refuse to empathize with anyone trying to murder my son through legislation and hate speech.

They get no protection from the social contract they have chosen to completely ignore.

They wanted this. We did not.

There have been at least a couple of lynchings in the last month.

Shit is beyond insane. Country's gone to crap. The government is a joke. More are being marginalized and the increasing violence against them is being codified into laws all over.

The US is a shit hole. Bought and paid for by MAGA.

This is a picture of the future I can get behind!

Wow. You're quick!

Not saying I know how they'd do it, just thought, "maybe we shouldn't be paying for this shit."

Sorry my thought wasn't fully formed, researched, and planned.

Didn't realize that was a requirement.

Best.

I'm no economist, but I would think federal tax deductions could be redirected at the corporate level, if given instruction/opportunity from the state.

Why don't the blue states simply keep their federal taxes and use them in-state?

No reason to fund an illegal administration, with their kidnappings and murdering.

Keep the money. Put it into metal health screenings for all elected positions, including school board. Bar those that fail.

They're going after themselves?

Cool.

Which party is all about taking away rights and social services again?

Spreading hate and fear isn't free speech; it is incitement to violence and is the bread and butter of the right.

The left just wants billionaires to pay their fair share and for minorities and marginalized to not be targets of hate and violence.

But sure, tell me how much you think you "know".

phoenixpath.bsky.social @phoenixpath.bsky.social · 25d

Yes; but we're not saddened by the death of a hate monger, so we're actually worse than the person who killed him apparently.

Breathing a sigh of relief when the danger to ourselves and our children is lessened is apparently an act of political violence on par with committing murder.

Who knew?

Well, I guess not wanting my kids targeted by these people makes me an anti-democratic extremist.

Oh well. That's what they want; not what I want.

phoenixpath.bsky.social @phoenixpath.bsky.social · 25d

So while I'm not happy he chose to be the person he was, I'm quite happy he isn't any longer.

Does that make me an extremist?

phoenixpath.bsky.social @phoenixpath.bsky.social · 25d

The guy was inciting people against minorities and the marginalized.

(When someone says all people in "this group" are evil, that's a dog whistle that killing them eliminates evil and is thus, good)

It's stochastic terrorism. He was a terrorist, and he stoked the violence that killed him. 1/2

I love how you people scream"context" every time you're caught saying utterly inhumane things.

It's not even a dog whistle anymore. You're not fooling anyone.

Says the guy who can't read? You're awesome, dude.

Hope your brain gets better.

phoenixpath.bsky.social @phoenixpath.bsky.social · 26d

I knew right. Stupid auto-cucumber.

phoenixpath.bsky.social @phoenixpath.bsky.social · 26d

Understood. So difficult to tell sometimes. ✌️
