I would love to have the democrats that republicans keep fear mongering about. Those guys want to raise the minimum wage, establish UBI, defend trans rights, make abortions free, defund the police, and will tax crap out of the wealthy. Those guys sound great

A couple days after Trump won reelection there was a 60 something year old dad and his 40 something year old son wearing Trump gear from head to toe at the grocery store and you could tell they went there to gloat but everyone was just like “I’m trying to buy chicken” so they were really pissed off
They're mad about not personally receiving the respect (deference) they think they are owed
Which they don't get, because they're assholes

In Diddy Kong Racing DS, the message when connection is lost during Download Play is "LOST ALL CHILDREN". The cartridge is internally called a "parent" and the downloaded instances its "children". While this would make sense to the developers, it has the potential to confuse or scare players.

there often seems to be an assumption that the only person who can be held accountable for a harmful idea is the person who first came up with it
and they're usually going to be long dead

Pirro said the pipe bombing suspect had "not a lot of social media". She should call me, because I have now found his: Twitter, Tumblr, Soundcloud, YouTube channel, songs he made on YouTube, Steam, and about five fanfic and gaming forum accounts.

In the muppets universe do you think there is one muppet who is regarded as a dangerous conspiracy theorist for yelling about how everyone is being secretly controlled by a hand inside them
The other muppets think this is a metaphor, and he's like "no it's a literal hand inside you! Inside you all"
