Yeah, his model gave her less of a chance than most others and their podcast constantly, over and over, warned people that this means Trump wins three elections if you run it ten times. People who wrote 538 off because it didn't call the election for Trump are some of the dumbest mouthbreathers you'll run into.

Tell me you don't understand directionally or literal numbers without telling me....

Wait do other people really not get that this is sarcasm?

I mean the truck bed is like 3 feet long, you can't do anything with it, it's never been off-road, and it has two full size rows of seats. It's an SUV in denial.

"Subset X of large group Y has committed a negligible amount of crime Y in the last generation."

"NO YOU IDIOT, LARGE GROUP Y DOES ALL OF CRIME Y, JUST THINK!!!"

"I don't understand why turnover is so high. Ever since COVID people just don't have any work ethic. The lockdowns really destroyed our economy in irreparable ways. Wait no, don't quit."

Or that it specifically protects you from the government, not private entities that don't want to hear their conspiratorial, hateful, protofascist bullshit lol.

Have you ever been a lowly paid, replaceable worker before? Risking your life for marginal increases in shareholder profits is kind of par for the course.

"Relating to or denoting a political and social philosophy that promotes individual rights, civil liberties, democracy, and free enterprise." How the fuck does that describe the GOP?? I mean yeah I get the argument relative to economics, but on the civil rights side of things no.

And doesn't open with "slammed"

Hey now, don't forget the worst invasion of illegals that we've ever seem, for the 270th year in a row....

Yeah but AW is a meaningless label that means whatever the specific AWB says it means, AFAIK none of the states flat out prohibit the sale of all semiautomatic firearms, correct?

Yeah no shit, they've been don't this in authoritarian countries from the beginning. Surprise, they'll do it here too. shocked Pikachu face

I feel the same way about "every accusation is a confession." It's such over simplified, sixth grade mean girl bullshit. Buuuuuuut it hasn't been wrong lately, which is annoying lol.

Yeah but why don't you just call the police? They're always so nice and helpful, they should have all the AR15s not the normies. Yes I'm on my way to town hall to explain exactly why we can't put affordable housing in our neighborhood in order to save the town's character, why do you ask?

Oh, so now it's not just antisemitic to vocally oppose an apartheid ethnostate, it means you're a holocaust denier. Cool. Did Antifa Inc. break into your house last night and steal the rest of your beer, too?

Stop conflating market economics with capitalism, they aren't the same thing.

"The people doing this boycott are just anti-Rhodesia nutjobs and there aren't even that many." -some jackass in 1975

No, everything is high stakes all the time. Laughing means civil war.

Not sure about other states, but in my state you can agree to mandatory arbitration for past incidents as long as they don't do reeeeeally egregious behavior like, eg, slipping a notice into your normal bills and having you "agree" by not objecting within X days.

Just like "slammed," if an article ends with "Here's who..." or "Here's what..." then I'm not fucking clicking. Why. Just why.

Sorry, I should have been more clear. I mean CO would be the first to do that, correct? Honest question.

This is definitely true, but it's not like rich people aren't also dangerous, unhinged criminals lol

Weird, I didn't realize the little green men in 2014ish were American.

Lol joke's on you asshole, recently more people raised in the suburbs and country have moved to cities, and more minorities and leftists own guns. It's not 1980 anymore, good luck.

No they don't, SS isn't intended to be a basic income. We should have a basic income, don't get me wrong, but they're pretty vocal about it being (in theory, if not reality) a supplement to retirement savings.

Yeah iaal and how that actually works is that nobody pays the victim.

But not even, modern suits have no utility and are downright inconvenient in warm climates. Suits can burn in hell.

Not to detract from the sentiment, but automatic firearms have been fully banned in the USA for 40 years now and have been illegal in most of the country since the 1930s.

I'm in the "pro gun crowd" and I, and many of us, absolutely do not think he should own a gun. Many of us very much support keeping firearms out of the hands of people with a history of violent tendencies and torturing animals. What are you talking about?? That's like, one of the few things that the "pro gun crowd" and "gun grabbers" actually agree on.

Yeah it is, just like all that shit about how retail stores last year having to close because of crime AS CRIME WAS FUCKING PLUMMETING

Yeah I definitely remember the words "smoothbore musket" in the 2A. People thinking this law is a good idea have huge "but I love my local PD, they're so helpful and I never get so much as a ticket, just flirt a little" energy.

Yeah I hate to break it to ya but kumbaya isn't going to beat the neo-Nazis.

Vote for increasingly tight background checks, micro stamping, and other solutions that don't rely on the delusional and childish belief that only the batshit crazy police should have guns? What are you doing about it? I'm gonna take a shot in the dark here and guess voting for the public policy version of a miracle cure. How responsible.

Hard agree and also, because I love them but don't hear them getting nearly enough shit alongside us, Canada is just a resource extraction megacorp masquerading as a country.

Solidarity forever! 🌹

No he doesn't realize that, the Foxosphere hasn't adopted that position yet.
