Happy Birthday!

Let's not let this purge

https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/trump-raises-new-alarms-dictator-except-day/story?id=105416124

Trump says he would only be a dictator on day 1 in an interview.

And Republicans will still support him. Scratch that, they'll support him more since he said that. Imagine for half a second that Biden said that. Or if AOC was President if she said it.

Completely disgusting. Fuck that.

Them: "Anti-Zionism is anti-semitism"
Also them: "Don't conflate Jews with Israel!"

Elon Musk announces he has bought the rights to Saints Row. Says next game in the series will do away with the woke. You'll only be able to commit white collar crimes and treat your employees like shit. If you shoot a police officer you get an instant game over. Kids are fair game, though. Game expected for 2028.

None of what you said is wrong, but if you dont at least threaten to withhold your vote youre saying dont listen to anything I ask, because you have my vote no matter what.

You act like they care. They don't. If they don't get our vote, they'll just appeal to the more conservative voters, and we end up with even worse. The time to raise the questions is during primaries. And we absolutely need to be primarying dems that aren't advancing progressive policies especially in areas that are safe dem.

As glad as I am he's gone, and he needed to go, I feel like if he wasn't gay the Republicans would've never voted to expel him.

Just a reminder. This is what Mike Johnson wants. This is what all Republicans want. And this is what we stand to 'gain' if we allow Donald Trump to win in 2024. I'm hearing too many people say "BIDEN SUCKS ON PALESTINE!" yeah, no shit he does. Do you really think Trump is going to be better? No, he's going to be far worse for Palestine. Does it suck that these are our options? Absolutely. But until we eradicate the Republican party into irrelevance, these are going to be our choices. Refusing to choose is still a choice, and it's not a good one. Because eventually we won't even be allowed to have different opinions. The trend toward a christofascist america is what any other Republican president will usher. Because it's what the Republicans want.

Also kinda funny it happened under this topic title.

They say you shouldn't celebrate anyone's death. So I won't. I will simply celebrate that the world, perhaps not coincidentally, became a better place today.

Former Obama official Stuart Seldowitz caught telling Muslim halal cart vendor in NYC that they should've killed more than 4000 palestinian kids

Noah Schnapp can go around saying "Zionism is Sexy", nothing.

Also Fuck Hakeem Jefferies for not telling candidates to not accept money from AIPAC in those primary challenges, as they did in the past with blacklisting organizations that donated to progressive challenges. Especially when AIPAC and their toxic money is also spent much on Republican challengers. Jefferies should NOT be the speaker if the Dems take the house. Not to mention him getting on stage with John Hagee.

The ADL has looked past this and "appreciate his leadership in fighting hate" because he said that expressing pro-palestinian slogans are equivalent to supporting genocide. So, yknow. No biggie!

Of course. Anti-semitism is perfectly okay, as long as you hate Palestinians more. It's why they invited John Hagee to speak at their march for Israel rally. And Democrats and Republicans stood with him. Keep in mind McCain distanced himself from Hagee when he was running for President. Somehow they decided 'maybe we should invite this guy to speak for us!"

Enough of our country are sociopaths with enough money to make sure nothing ever gets done about gun violence.

Meh fuck the DSA. They never once condemned Hamas and are against NATO. Any Democrat who supports this group should be primaried.

You've never once condemned the actions of Israel and are against Progressives. Any Democrat who sides with you should be considered a right wing shill like you.

Republicans really hate that their offensive language gets called out for being offensive because they lack empathy for anyone but themselves. America has a sociopathy problem.

Davros

It's important to note that his idea of 'peace' is a fascistic society with him as a god over all Daleks with no other life forms in existence. Cioccolata at least shows some form of affection for his 'pet'. Davros only has pride in his Daleks, and only because they are wiping out entire races. If they showed him affection, they would not be Daleks, and he would destroy them.

TonyKojima posted...

I never ever once claimed to be a progressive. Not once.

So you're just a right wing shill then. Makes sense.

TonyKojima posted...

Tlaib and Cori Bush need to go, period. They are dragging the party down and will cost us needed votes.

Oh look, it's Tony who is totally not a right-wing shill pretending to be 'progressive'

Some people have pet chickens, pet pigs, and pet cows.

This makes me want to support Israel even less.

Obellisk posted...

Yes it's awful what Hamas has done to the innocent Palestinians.

Ahh yes, Israel is totally blameless in their campaign for collective punishment.

It's truly disturbing how people chanted "No ceasefire" as if ceasefire is some inherently bad thing, and that civilian deaths are some good thing that will surely bring the hostages home. I mean it's worked so far, right? People act like it's okay to kill as many civilians as you do members of Hamas. They'll justify it by saying "They voted in Hamas!" nevermind that their last election was in 2006, and that Hamas was a vastly different organization then. Nevermind that most Palestinians weren't even born yet to vote in that election, and that none have been held since. Because that's not a convenient fact to remind people as more than 4000 children die, and many more become orphans. And it's not just the conservatives. It's the liberals too. Some conservatives oppose it (of course many of them for anti-semitic reasons, just as some support it for anti-semitic reasons, like John Hagee who was invited to be a speaker. Funny how they lecture us on how we shouldn't support Palestinian Civilians because they are against LGBT people, while inviting someone who praised Hitler and blamed Hurricane Katrina on LGBT people) Keep in mind that people like Hagee support Israel so that Jesus comes back and sends them all to hell and then usher in the end of times.

Rashida Tliab gets censured, while Max Miller gets to say "Turn Gaza into a parking lot" and Brian Mast compares Palestinian citizens to Nazis, and don't get so much as a condemnation. In Florida, Michelle Salzman says to 'kill them all'. This is why I don't think there's any coming back for this country.

Frieza

Alex reforms later in life. He even considers starting a family, but is worried they might show his same sociopathic tendencies.

Bob

Art is usually finished with his victims quickly. With Leland, Bob stayed for years. Made him molest and murder his own daughter. While he does feed off of 'garmonbozia', even the other residents of the realm of pure evil from which he comes want him destroyed.

You to want me

Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.

Gat

or no

U

I'd like to see a most benevolent character. Benevolence is a bit different than heroic.

Freddy

Intent matters a lot. And Freddy's intent is far more evil to me. Also for all the 'horror villains aren't actually characters' arguments, that doesn't fit Freddy at all. He's not just some scary monster who lives to cause pain and misery. He actively chose to become a dream demon after murdering (and potentially molesting, version depending) young children, and he relishes in everything he does.

I think being anti-terrorist is a usually easy take, but I guess when the terrorism is towards jews its totally fine

I think being anti-child murder is usually an easy take, but I guess when the children being murdered are Palestinian it's totally fine.

Can we get another 70+ year old man to go kill him? I'm sure he'll just get house arrest.

Also zero surprise to see republicans celebrate murder. They love murder. They want to kill us all.

Reminder to vote in your local elections today, folks

I don't think we have any. Like not even for a small office.

Stop the Madness

Davros

But it's fairly close. This could definitely be a finals match.

Pirateking2000 posted...

Seems sort of like a Lawful Evil VS Chaotic Evil match here. Personally leaning Flagg right now due to the whole Davros thinking the Daleks would bring about peace thing (which I feel hurts the evil rank a bit). Going to wait for arguments though as I am not especially knowledgeable about either of them and just going by what has been mentioned so far.

Davros was given the chance to make the Daleks a force for good and peace. He rejected it. He wants peace in the same way the Grand Wizard of the KKK wants peace by lynching all the black people. He wants peace in the same way the Nazis want peace by exterminating all the jews. He comes from a race of Space Nazis, and even they thought he went too far. The Switzerland of the Doctor Who Universe who never meddle in time and have strict laws against it to the point they forced The Doctor to regenerate considered him bad enough that they sent The Doctor back in time to kill him before he made the Daleks. The real world equivalent if Switzerland were an all powerful country with a time machine, and they decided it was time to go back in time and kill Hitler.

He's basically if Hitler and Mengele had a hate-child together.

If they don't do anything to him, they're only going to enable his supporters to do the exact same things.

We're living in the worst timeline, where Donald Trump has a cult of followers who would defend him even if he ate their child in front of them and then pissed on them while lighting them on fire.

As far as you saying "destroying the country" goes, I have to ask, have you seen any a lot of these cities where drug users walk around like irate zombies? Do you know how much cartel members have crossed our borders and how there's possibly terrorists cells that have crossed to enter the United States? Have you seen king size candy bars that were $1.86 just a couple of years ago up to nearly 4 dollars now. Things are bad here NOW and if our current president stays in power it's only going to get worse.

I'm sure you're okay with forcing rape victims to give birth to their rapists babies. Have you heard about women being arrested for miscarriage? But you don't care! Because you're a privileged elite who only cares about themselves. You don't care that LGBT rights will be eroded, or that religion will be forced down the throats of the people, just so long as you can save a little money at the grocery store. All you care about is your bottom line. Fuck anyone else, as long as you've got yours. So tell me: Why should we care if you're paying a bit more for candy bars, when you're probably already obese, and could probably skip the extra large candy.

I mean i wouldnt go that far, i think were living through a particularly polarized period. Im just saying to those asking like, who oh who would he ever try to meet in the middle literally everybody else. I am in favor of efforts toward unity, i dont think its out of bounds to say there havent been many

You can't unite with people who don't want to unite. Republicans only see themselves as the rightful owners of the country, and see everyone else as their enemy. You can't work with people like that. That Biden even suggested is why a lot of democrats don't like him. We don't want to work with people who want to murder us. Why would we? I just don't get why 'moderates' think we should work with people who would sooner shoot us up with their AR-15's, as they would open a door for us. Because that's who the Republican party has become. There's no compromising with terrorists.
