He'll say the same to Taiwan, too

I appreciate the irony of a so-named "news" corp keeping the terms of the settlement secret

Then-Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens (R) paused Williams’s execution in 2017 and charged a board with collecting evidence about whether he was innocent. Current Gov. Mike Parson (R), who succeeded Greitens, later disbanded the board and last year began a push to set an execution date.

The cruelty is the point

This murder will be an actual example of a post-term abortion that the right has been pretending to be scared of, ironically enough

Sounds like terrorism to me

More post-birth abortions. Who's the villain performing these, again?

Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords as a basis for a system of government.

Didn't George Floyd get murdered because he paid with a counterfeit? And assholes like this are proud of it.

"What do you say to the Proud Boys?"

• "I don't know them, but stand back and stand by"

"What do you say about Project 2025?"

• "I don't know them, but I wish them well"

Cool. Cool cool cool.

So he is knowingly, intentionally putting people in serious and mortal danger for his own pleasure. Again, I mean. He's doing it again.

People need to call it what it is, as often as needed: stochastic terrorism

But why were the police even called?

Before the police were called, Martin and his co-workers made two trips to the SUV that Floyd was sitting in outside Cup Foods, trying to get him to come back to the store, Martin said. He recalled telling Floyd and his friends that the bill Floyd had just used was fake, and that his boss wanted to talk to him.

All I'm saying is, the consequences aren't as simple as "some homeless lowlife goes to jail lol" like the guy in the article seems to feel in his heart. Sometimes a counterfeit bill results in a 9- minute long public execution followed months of societal pain.

ETA: Johnny McEntee! That's the asshole's name. Johnny McEntee is the asshole that is trying to get homeless people into situations involving police over counterfeit money. Police that sometimes decide murder is a best path to justice for poor people with counterfeit money legal issus. Fuck that guy.

Ohio city cancels cultural festival to protect public amidst ongoing stochastic terrorism threats from major public officials

How do they work?

Next time have the competition someplace sensible. Like a school. It just wasn't our natural setting.

To be clear, those were my words paraphrasing his post. Read his words. They exude Hitler energy in that post, and encourage behavior in others like you describe.

Edit to add the post in question:

Instead of forking so much of our tax dollars directly over to corporations, how about we try dispensing those awards directly to the American people so we can spend it where we think will be best?

Let's just end the thing where the government transfers money to corporations. They like healthy competition, right? So if your corpo doesn't get their fun-money because I spend my kickback funds elsewhere, that's just business, right?

The money will all trickle up! It'll be great for the corpos and rich folks.

I like the "Oregon Trail generation" name someone mentioned earlier too, I might lean into that one more in the future. Remember playing Math Blaster on an Apple Mac Classic in elementary school computer lab? Then you were there too!

His own words and actions do it pretty well

Yup! It's like he's envisioning the prelude to the Holocaust and wanting to bring it into the modern day. This is from earlier today on his dumpster fire of a site:

Let it be known in the Book of Ages that boydster stands with you in solidarity. Donald Trump is, in fact, a piece of shit.

"Karl Rove is a RINO" incoming...

This is how the world can finally come together. We can create a New Old Australia, using the island-building techniques the Chinese government have been trying to develop but instead using it for the benefit of all. Literally no one wants these assholes. Let's make them their own giant sand island and send them there. No Aborigines or any other nativelanders need be displaced like in the past. We just... Eject them to Billionaire Island and tell them they've entered the final level of capitalism, they are allowed no outside resources and must establish for themselves (brilliant and enterprising and egotistical as we reassure them they are) how to become the Ultimate Capitalist. Tell them it's even televised. Then if they ever get too noisy we obviously need a way to forcibly erode the island etc. Engineers can figure out the details.

Former Marion Police Department Chief Gideon Cody should be held accountable for the death of Joan Meyer.

This is his Sarah Palin lol

REACH OUT TO YOUR REPRESENTATIVES

Hello,

It has recently been widely reported that the FBI raided a corporate landlord in Arizona due to their use of RealPage to engage in price-fixing. I have reason to believe that RealPage has been used by landlords in [state] as well, so I am curious to know if [state] renters that may have been victimized by landlords using RealPage will also be able to depend on our elected officials to step in and enforce the consumer protection laws that we need in order to fight back against the wildly predatory price increases we have been experiencing from so many different directions. Please tell me this is an issue where the real people of [state], and not the corporations that speak far too loudly with their dollars, have our representatives behind our backs.

When and if wrongdoing is found, can we also expect to be fairly and fully compensated for the greedflation that landlords stole? And if those costs are too high for a particular landlord to bear, perhaps ownership of the effected properties should instead be transferred to the government to establish more low-income housing facilities and in doing so, help address crises in housing, homeless, and skyrocketing costs. What if we start treating corporations with the same uncaring hand they treat consumers, instead of handling them with kid-gloves? Can [state] citizens count on your support in keeping our people, not our corporations, as your top priority?

Respectfully, [name]

Obama had a huge advantage on McCain because McCain seemed comparatively old, feeble, and not nearly as well-spoken. Then McCain picked Sarah Palin as a running mate and America heard her try to form sentences in real time.

GW was on his way out. The choice was McCain's version of conservatism plus whatever the crazy cat lady was going to say along the way, or Obama's promise of hope and change, with a very well-understood Biden at his side.

The answer is easy, but to get to it, a little bit of a thought experiment is probably helpful. I say, look to how we define our own left and right sides for guidance. When facing forward, our left hand is on the left side of our body, and the right hand is on the right side of the body. Perspective doesn't matter, and there is no ambiguity.

Now we need to extend this to the bed. A bed has a head, just like a person does. So where would its face be? It seems clear to me, unless you are sleeping on a dead mattress, that the face is clearly going to be looking upwards at the ceiling at the head of the bed. So the left side of the bed, if you are standing at the foot of the bed looking at it, would be on your right. Just like the left side of your friend, when you are standing in front of them and looking at them, is on your right.

Now if you just imagine the mattress to be perfectly spherical and in a frictionless environment.......

(Obviously just having fun with this answer, but it's also the right answer)

They're being called terrorists in the news-adjacent and very public media finally, it's progress

Leave it, it is very well-written and it also made my day to read

Fuck cancer all the way. Every step further in stopping it is a win. And this seems like it might be a particularly great step.

I thought her speech did a good job outlining some important parts of her vision for the future and her policy initiatives. She spoke about making strides to protect women's rights (and keeping government out of doctors' offices), she spoke in favor of supporting union efforts, all while still making a point to point out Trump's deficiencies as a candidate without focusing on him longer than needed. There was a lot of inclusive language, just look at how much she used words like "we" and "us".

I'm working off an admittedly not-amazing memory here but I recall a very inclusive, welcoming speech that mentioned Trump mostly by contrast and to state the obvious in regards to him being the opponent and and bad option. She called for universal health care, for crying out loud. In explicit words, she said we all deserve it. She didn't focus on policy or the future? What?

"I used to take a lot of bribes and I should have let everyone know. I mean, I still do, but I used to, too."

His entire Sunday circuit that I saw was enraging and also on YouTube - Dana Bash on CNN, then also he was on Face the Nation and Meet the Press. There's something about that boy that ain't right.

That, plus settlements that they'll start setting up in Lebanon as soon as they have the opportunity. Border's gotta expand...

Matt Gaetz: YUP!

Fuck Marduk. All my homes hate Marduk. Apsu was right about those rowdy kids all along!

I have no idea what drove me to make this and I am so very sorry for everyone with functioning eyes that stumbles upon this post. All the mug shots, looped forever, to fuel your nightmares!
