  • On the post: Trump Administration Stops Fucking Around On Immigration, Hangs Official ‘Whites Only’ Sign

    That One Guy ( profile ), 04 Dec, 2025 @ 06:14pm

    Is anyone in or supporting the regime still pretending they're not WILDLY racist?

    White people engage in mass shootings on a regular basis? 'Thoughts and prayers', 'Such a tragedy', 'Nothing that could have been done', 'This just shows how violent the libs are!(regardless of the actual political affiliation of the shooter)'. One darker skinned person shoots two people? 'Anyone with skin darker than ivory white is a dangerous terrorist in the making and can not be allowed to enter or stay in the country!' I'm sure there's a reason for such a drastically different response to an act of violence but for the life of me I just can't qwhite put my finger on what it might be...

    If it's your house, make it clear he's not welcome and show him the door. If it's another family member's house, make it clear to them that as long as the racist loser is welcome you're not coming.

    How to kill social media platforms in your area in one simple step...

    Well that's certainly one way to ensure that no new online platforms for user-submitted content crop up in the EU, not to mention providing a very strong case for current platforms to just geo-block the entire area as too legally risky since 'hope they don't apply the new insanely stupid ruling to your platform' is not a viable long-term strategy.

    'If we go fully AI we won't have to pay workers! ... Other than to fix the AI's mistakes.'

    A comment on the most recent Jimquisition put it perfectly I'd say, in noting that companies will pay billions to avoid paying millions. Execs are so desperate to make use of this new magic(and make no mistake, they do seem to think it's magic) to replace human workers that they're shelling out huge piles of money only to have to go back later and pay even more to those same previously canned workers to fix the many, many mistakes that AI hallucinated into existence.

    Possibly so, but it still leaves the door open for them to keep their job if the other side decides it's a fight they're not going to win or will take too much work, as well as encouraging others to also fight back rather than immediately fold, and even if they do eventually lose their job they still kept it and acted as an obstacle longer than if they'd immediately quit and gotten out of the way.

    If you amend the term to include 'mob-' at the front then yes, that would be a more accurate label.

  • On the post: The White House Intervened On Behalf Of Accused Sex Trafficker Andrew Tate During A Federal Investigation

    That One Guy ( profile ), 03 Dec, 2025 @ 06:02pm

    I'm not buying it

    Personally I doubt the story for the simple fact that I can't think of a single reason why the Trump WH would ever be positively inclined towards sexual predators or worse those accused of sex trafficking. Why, I'm sure the very thought of either of those causes nothing but absolute disgust and disdain to everyone in the regime from Trump downward so I see no reason to believe that they would personally step in to defend someone who's been a very vocal supporter of Trump and garnered him plenty of supporters and therefore power and wealth.

  • On the post: Trump Follows Up Murdering Dozens In ‘Drug’ Boat Strikes By Pardoning Ex-President Involved In Drug Trafficking

    That One Guy ( profile ), 03 Dec, 2025 @ 05:50pm

    Someone hasn't greased the right palm yet...

    Well that explains it, the thing that's getting people murdered by the boatload by willing US soldiers isn't that they're suspected of running drugs, it's that they haven't paid Trump his cut of the proceeds. Guarantee that if enough money changes hands all of a sudden those boats will be left entirely to their own devices and all the clamor about protecting 'murica from drug traffickers will quietly fade away to be replaced by some other excuse to murder some other group of people to sate the regime's bloodlust.

    Votes have consequences, let them feel what they wanted others to experience

    To be clear, I take no pleasure in this. People are allowed to vote Republican, obviously. They are allowed to have voted for Donald Trump, equally obviously. I have family and friends that did likewise and doing so doesn’t mean that I want their lives upended or, frankly, even moderately inconvenienced as a result. Yeah screw that, those that vote for others to suffer do not deserve sympathy or empathy when it turns out that the 'others' includes them. He and those like him voted for hate and suffering and they deserve to experience it in turn, and any time I might start to think otherwise I simply have to ask myself, 'Would they care if they weren't personally suffering? If the only people that were having their lives ruined were people other than them, would they be compassionate and regretful of their votes, or would they still be laughing and cheering?'

  • On the post: Forget Whether Or Not DOGE Exists: Will Anyone Be Held Accountable For 600,000 Deaths?

    That One Guy ( profile ), 03 Dec, 2025 @ 05:25pm

    Now if bootlicking podcasts would stop inviting him to speak unchallenged...

    Other DOGE leaders were less sanguine. “Guys, seriously,” one warned, “get your own lawyer if you need it. Elon’s great, but you need to watch your own back.” It's so incredibly telling that they're telling each other to lawyer up, exposing that they know damn well that what they're doing and have done is illegal. I dearly hope that all that fear and paranoia turns out to be fully justified and hope even more that even the best lawyers on the planet aren't able to save them from being bankrupted and/or tossed in cells for a long time for the damage they've caused and assisted in. As so Elon's defense of his mass-murder it's equal parts disgusting and dishonest but honestly about what I'd expect coming from a psychopathic fraud like him. As someone who knows he's the smartest person in the room he clearly could never have been wrong or lying about all that 'waste and fraud' he found(but never kicked over for investigation and prosecution, funny that...) so I expect that even on his deathbed he'll still be claiming that all those hundreds of thousands(if not millions by the time he drops dead) of corpses that are a direct result of his actions were simply fictional pandas that never existed in the first place.

  • On the post: Kristi Noem Made Final ‘Fuck The Courts’ Decision Refusing To Turn Deportation Flights Around

    That One Guy ( profile ), 03 Dec, 2025 @ 05:24pm

    Who needs trials when you have 'If brown skin = dangerous criminal'?

    “And we will continue to do the right thing and ensure that dangerous criminals are removed.” '...Unless the criminals in question were engaged in a violent insurrection against the government in an attempt to overthrow an election and force my boss to be seated instead, in which case those dangerous criminals get a blanket pardon.' Bullshit. That was never the case. The Trump administration doesn’t care whether or not the migrants it’s ejecting as as fast as it can are actually “dangerous criminals.” The latest data shows only 5% of those detained by ICE have criminal records that contain violent crimes. 73% of those detained have no criminal record at all. The stats make one thing crystal clear and that's that the regime believes wholeheartedly that skin color is evidence of guilt. If you're white, you're probably innocent(if you're a white republican you're innocent by definition). If you're not white you're not just a criminal you're a dangerous criminal and need to be sold off to whatever concentration camp is buying, and trials are just obstacles that get in the way of 'protecting america' from your dark skin.

    Do your job or at least stop demanding others do it for you

    It's a good thing congress is so on top of other things that might threaten the well-being of children like the ability to eat and have medical coverage that they're able to spend time focusing on online 'threats'... If a parent dropped their kid off in the middle of a large city without supervision they'd be labeled a bad parent and their attempts to defend themselves by claiming that it was everyone else's job to ensure their little darling didn't see or hear anything problematic would be faced with mocking laughter. A parent that refuses to teach their kid about what to avoid online, how to deal with any problematic stuff thy encounter online and/or set limits on what they can see online should be seen and treated the same way. It's not the job of websites to make sure that everything is squeaky-clean and that there are no kids lying about their ages using their services, that's the job of parents, and if they can't be bothered they have no business trying to offload their job to everyone else.

    'What part of 'We want him to be tortured' do you not understand?!'

    He reiterated that Costa Rica has the “highest human rights standards” and would receive Abrego “under humanitarian conditions that guarantee the full respect for his rights and liberties.” Why, I do believe I've spotted the reason the regime refuses to even consider Costa Rica as a possible place to ship Abrego to.

    'States' rights(to do what we want them to)!' isn't quite as catchy I suppose

    It never ceases to amaze and illuminate how lightning quick republicans go from being the party of 'Small Government and States Rights!' when they're not the ones in charge to 'The federal government has absolute power and states only have the rights we allow them to have!' when they are in charge of the federal government.

    Be the sand in the gears, not the oil

    Resignation just opens the door for the position to be replaced by someone who will obey the orders, if an officer wants to take a stand when faced with illegal orders they can and should just refuse the order.

    A leader should want to at least maintain the appearance of being uncorrupted by their power so they can maintain their credibility. Trump can’t do that because his entire life has been built on corruption and mob-like bullshit. I think the disconnect is that your idea of what makes a leader and Trump's idea of what makes a leader are so different. To him it seems that to be a leader means to rule by fear and/or force, to make people obey you, because he's spend his entire life unable to make people honestly respect him meaning 'respect by force' is all he's ever known.

    Brain worm: 'Hey, don't blame me for that, that's all him!'

    Counter-argument: The worm has nothing to do with Kennedy's lack of a soul/conscious as a lack of one or both seems to be widespread among republicans and I doubt all of them had literal brain-eating worms.

    The pro-plague position in a nutshell: Better dead than autistic

    The biggest injustice of the pro-plague movement isn't that it's stupid enough to kill people, it's that it's frequently maiming and/or killing people who had nothing to do with it. If the only people dying from this Darwin Award of a delusion were the adults supporting it it would be a self-correcting problem in short order, but more often than not it seems that the victims are the kids who depend upon their parents and the adults around them to make the smart decisions on their behalf and who are horrifically and tragically let down on that. But hey, at least those three infants(and counting) died before they could end up autistic, just think of how horrible(and long) their lives could have been had they been vaccinated by some grossly irresponsible parents who didn't understand that autism is a fate worse than death.
