  Indeed, but it's believed and parroted by a bunch of bigots who are definitely not in any way affected by actual incidents of migrant crime.

  You guys caused this shutdown for no reason...

  Trying to stop tens of millions of people's healthcare doubling in cost is not "no reason". You can make an argument about whether or not it was smart or effective, but saying it was for no reason is just dumb.

  I’m almost hoping there’s at least one supposedly ‘badass soldier’ that breaks down on the stand and says how sorry they all ore...

  Chances are they'll be on the stand for beating their wife or kids first.

  Trump just solved peace in the Middle East...

  You heard about this Middle East place quite recently didn't you.

  They’re a trillion-dollar, multinational company. Did anyone really think they engaged in social justice issues for reasons other than because it looks good for them to do so?

  No, I thought they engaged in social justice issues (like strong digital privacy) because that's what customers want, and giving customers what they want is a good way to make more customers, which makes you more money. It always comes back to money of course, but apparently they now believe the best path to that money is not through their customers.

  One little flaw in the argument

  One massive flaw in yours actually.

  You whining about the normal application of law and calling it “tyranny” and it just looks really, really stupid.

  Did you mean to send this to Stephen Miller? Because intending it to be for anyone here would definitely make you look really, really stupid.

  Keep inciting violence towards law enforcement, Cushing.

  I must've missed that in the post above, please quote the exact inciting words.

  You have a years [decades?]-long track record of doing so...

  And you have a years-long track record of either imagining things that simply aren't there or just making it up.

  ...and will hopefully one day be held accountable for hate-mongering.

  Can you describe the exact form of this expected accountability? Just trying to get a sense of what exactly you're hoping for.

  ...because of the lie Kimmel told...

  Telling that you couldn't articulate what this lie actually was.

• On the post: Judge Strikes Trump’s Rambling Lawsuit Before NY Times Even Had To Respond

  

  JMT ( profile ), 22 Sep, 2025 @ 07:33pm

  Ditto Disney firing Carano vs Kimmel...

  If you don't understand the vast difference between these two cases then I genuinely wonder how you manage to put the right shoe on each foot.

• On the post: Trump Administration Now Murdering People In International Waters Just Because

  

  JMT ( profile ), 09 Sep, 2025 @ 03:14pm

  That doesn't (a) make Pelosi right or (b) turn drug smugglers into terrorists or (c) prove these actually were drug smugglers. MAGA are the most credulous morons on the planet.

• On the post: The Trump Administration Declares War On Chicago

  

  JMT ( profile ), 08 Sep, 2025 @ 04:31pm

  This LA/DC enforcement action has proven massively popular, and polling released over the weekend shows Trump receiving all-time approval highs.

  I'm genuinely curious to know if you actually think this is true or if you know it's not but think you can convince us it is. Either way the delusion on display is wild.

  ...a 10 day unbroken streak of zero murders...

  You mean that thing that's happened multiple times before without the military being involved?

  And, perhaps, political speech should not be protected speech.

  This has the slightest sliver of plausibility in theory, but would be an unmitigated disaster in practice. There is no way "political speech" could be legally defined (nobody agrees what that is now!) and it would instantly be abused by the very people you're saying free speech absolutism enabled. Your "fix" would be far worse that the actual problem.

  So you're claiming that most of the 17yo's killed by guns are in fact killers themselves? Do you need an adult to explain to you how stupid that sounds?

  ...presumably with terms very favorable to her.

  Why would you presume that? She needs Disney more than they need her. Those terms could well be "Keep ya damn mouth shut if you want a job with us".

• On the post: RFK Jr. Ends Federal Contracts To Develop mRNA Vaccines

  

  JMT ( profile ), 07 Aug, 2025 @ 09:55pm

  ...the risk of death from covid for a healthy young person was basically zero...

  You people are so heartbreakingly fucking selfish. If a healthy young person didn't catch Covid because they were vaccinated then they also didn't transmit it to somebody or multiple people who could suffer serious effects or die. That's literally how herd immunity works. But no, you're all "I'm fine, fuck everyone else".

• On the post: DOJ Files Frivolous Misconduct Complaint Against Judge For… Doing His Job And Being Right About Government Lawlessness

  

  JMT ( profile ), 07 Aug, 2025 @ 09:38pm

  What say you Roberts?

  ...the DOJ is essentially arguing that a federal judge committed “misconduct” by privately expressing concerns to the Chief Justice that the Trump administration might not comply with court orders.

  Seems like that guy should be publicly calling out the DOJ for this crap.

  Trump uses the word “windmill” because he doesn’t know what the term “wind turbine” means.

  This is a good measure of Trump's actual reading ability. Think about the reading age level of kids books that mention windmills, and what reading level they start to mention turbines.

  ...discriminatory practices like affirmative action and DEI...

  You would make an excellent Minitrue worker.
