Did we already have "scapegoating Jews" on the list of ways Trump is like Hitler or is this a new one?

Not that I don't agree with you, but why do you think Republicans can't be trusted with guns?
Where did you find this one? It just cracked me up! Thanks for joining us tonight, Roundy. I really really like this joke. Hahah.
Find what? Thomas Crooks was a Republican from the day he registered to vote to the day he died. Routh is apparently unaffiliated and voted in this year's Democratic primary but has also voted Republican in the past.
I'm not sure what "side" you're talking about, exactly, but it sure ain't Democrats.

Meanwhile JD Vance just admitted that the Haitians eating pets story was always a pie, and rationalized by basically saying you have to tell some racist lies to make sure Americans understand the danger we're in, and James Lankford just admitted that the Republicans intentionally killed the border deal for no other reason than that Trump would have an issue to run on.
Why do they insist on giving Democrats so much ammunition?

Meanwhile, in reality, far from the comforting fictions of MAGAworld::
The poll of 3,276 adults, produced for ABC by Langer Research Associates with fieldwork by Ipsos, finds that Harris did firm up some of her personal appeal: Thirty-seven percent say the debate made them feel more favorably toward her, vs. 23% less favorably. There was no such benefit for Trump: People by nearly 2-1 say the debate made them see him less favorably.

I remember very clearly every incident of Harris baiting Trump to make an ass out of himself and how he fell for it like a child EVERY SINGLE TIME.
It takes a tremendous amount of TDS to actually have watched that and come away thinking Trump was the winner. Only MAGA cultists like Tom, who are truly too far gone to EVER come back from their brainwashing, could possibly come away with that opinion. And seeing them scramble to justify it like Tom is doing has just been madly entertaining.

Whatever filter he might have had in the past he's lost. He's just another sad, pathetic racist at the old folks home at this point. Good luck winning an American election while simultaneously doing everything in your power to alienate black people.

« on: August 15, 2024, 04:09:25 PM »So 41,000 lost lives due mostly to people disobeying traffic laws. How many deaths were there in "murderous riots" in the US last year? Or if you prefer, almost 30,000 people were killed or seriously injured in the UK in traffic fatalities last year. What's the equivalent number that died or were seriously injured in "murderous riots" last year?Damn, so you're pointing out that your preferred law doesn't even effectively prevent deaths, while incidents where BLM and/or anti-immigration fascists set people on fire are largely handled preventatively. That sure is a take, if you wanted to make your argument a little weaker.
And, of course, that is before you remember that speeding is not the sole cause of all traffic accidents, or before you remember that more people drive cars than set immigrants on fire, so your metrics are a crime against data science. Yes, I mean crime. You're under arrest, and we're sending you to Rwanda.
Thank the Lord™ we don't take cues from the likes of you when deciding our laws - things would get real bad real quickly! It's so silly that you want to literally arrest poor, innocent sixty-somethings for just driving their cars. ;(
Interesting... You are literally saying that the circumstances are too different to even try to compare them, and somehow you think that helps YOUR argument that wholly depends on us comparing the two. Way to undermine your own argument!

« on: August 15, 2024, 12:28:52 PM »Do you really think speeding is a "silly law"?Speeding is actually a good example, I'll bite. For it to be analogous, we have to describe it as "fining people for driving their own cars", though. Driving cars is more socially acceptable than inciting murderous riots (just about), so fining people for driving cars seems, on the whole, much sillier than what OP is complaining about.
I mean...

40,990 people
The agency estimates that 40,990 people died in motor vehicle traffic crashes in 2023, a decrease of about 3.6% as compared to 42,514 fatalities reported to have occurred in 2022. The fourth quarter of 2023 represents the seventh consecutive quarterly decline in fatalities beginning with the second quarter of 2022.Apr 1, 2024

Lol, what a silly argument you tried to make to defend a silly law! Actually I'd say that given the numbers it's a tragedy that speeding is considered more socially acceptable than inciting "murderous riots"!

« on: August 14, 2024, 01:27:36 PM »Been there a bunch of times.Y'all, the Brits don't even know what freedom is.Yeah. You just keep on standing on the side of the road waiting till a little man tells you that you can cross, lest you get fined, while congratulating yourselves on how free you are.
Tell me you’ve never been to America without telling me you’ve never been to America.
I was being a bit facetious. As I said, it was an example. There are better ones. If you want to keep pointing and laughing at the UK and all the silly laws we have which restrict our freedoms while following all your silly laws which restrict your freedoms and telling yourself how free you all are then you crack on, fellas.
When it was pointed out to you that the jaywalking argument was outdated and no longer applicable you brought up speeding as an alternative and went into a long ramble about that. Do you really think speeding is a "silly law"?

If this is the crowning jewel of your argument (this is at least the second time you've brought it up) you should think about finding something else. NOBODY in this country gets fined for jaywalking anymore, I believe it's not even technically a crime in most places anymore.

Sometimes, you just need to starve millions of people to finally solve a problem. The problem will keep existing until you solve it with a solution that is ultimate and complete. I'm glad Israel understands the importance of answering the Palestinian Question with their definitive response.
Well it's nice that they've finally found a solution to their little problem.
