Well, yeah. It's an oppression Olympics, the only thing they value is dysfunction and misery.

Are we allowed to have any jobs?

Not really, no. Oh, you'll be allowed something until there's enough diverse people to replace you. But only until then.

It seems to be "Sure, we'll take stuff off whitey for you, but don't you dare go up against the new aristocracy!"

Bonus points if he replaces it with an "I [heart] Justin Castro" banner...

Yeah, exactly ... if the prosecution had provided the HD imagery at the start, they'd have had no call to show their CGI fantasy to the jury.

I'm sure he found out everything he wants to know about the trial from CNN and MSNPC.

Somehow that brings about communist utopia.

I believe the operating idea is that the more you damage civilisation, the more attractive communism becomes as an alternative.

Once again demonstrating that all communists know how to do is to destroy - at least until they follow the traditional path of useful idiots and they're all lined up against a wall by the inevitable dictator demanded by the populace to actually get some food grown.

I'm not sure you're wrong.

And what peace can be had with such people?

Only separation or the realisation that the existence of people outside of their cult isn't a threat.

Dude, calm down and pick your best stuff to submit. Most of it is good, but come on, this isn't the FBoys page...

And of course, the blue cheka is apparently unable to tell the difference between a guy attacking and a guy just being there

Also note that this cheka proposes to start off by brandishing a weapon at a guy and seeing what he does.

Historically, that's a good way to lose a bicep.

Rittenhouse only pointed his weapon at stuff he intended to shoot, because he knows his gun safety rules. All this idiot seems to know is trying to precipitate a riot.

Waits for US and UK health establishments to latch on to "Omega" and use it to drive the next wave of hysteria

The "logic" is: If I or someone on "my team" is doing it, make it OK. If somebody on the "other team" is doing it - whatever it is - make it bad, and, if you can, illegal.

"Morals" doesn't enter into it at all. It's power politics.

"Look, I've ignored all the information that disagreed with me, and assumed that other viewpoints must be the result of irrational bias or bigotry!"

Did you mention that the rule that is excluding propensity evidence about Rittenhouse is the same rule preventing the defence from spending a decent amount of time on the personal failings of Huber, Grosskreutz and Rosenbaum?

It's how they work. Find a pattern of words that lets them circumvent checks and balances, rinse the everloving shit out of it until something new is put in to stop them, then the search for the next phrase that will panic people enough to let them circumvent checks and balances begins.

You might want to pull this and run it with that last "Replying to" line blanked, dude.

"Congratulations, comrade! The glorious Harris administration has made great progress addressing the devaluation of our currency that resulted from the filthy backslider Trump printing endless dollars for his corrupt friends. We have today removed this excess currency from circulation.

Also, your balance is now $0. You should probably volunteer for extra work details so you can pay your rent this month, comrade!"

Yeah, but if they addressed the actual complaint they wouldn't get to write snarky put-downs.

It's actually done for a reason, I think - they're yet again trying to hype the urgency.

Look, here's recent data showing things are bad! Can we take away what's left of your civil rights now?

How about now?

How about now?

See, the solution to the failure of global Communism globalism is to global communist globalist harder.

Enough with the spam already.

Only reason I can think of - more of a fig leaf, really - is to reduce US emissions by removing US industry.

I'd be interested to hear the Biden administration's justification for this. Other than "Pooh ordered it", of course.

On the face of it, I can't think of another country that's made a conscious decision to sacrifice their own industry to bolster another's in this fashion.

Also, a point to note: Do you think Chinese production is going to be as efficient or as environmentally friendly as US production?

I suspect it's less the threat of perjury - DA's been pretty solidly going to bat for the guy - as it is the photo of him trying to cheap-shot Rittenhouse is right there

I think it's a bit of a US-centric issue, tbh. My in-laws are Ghanaian - and undeniably black - but I cannot reconcile the behavior I see here with their own standards of behavior.

I mean, if he's specifically talking about American black people, maybe, but my own instincts tell me he's still using something of a broad brush, but I think he's - without thinking about - including a significant fraction of the planet based off what I'm assuming is the most extreme behavior of a few American activists.

Black people? Not so much. You're using a very broad brush there, far broader than I can think of any justification for.

Black activists? Yeah, that's a better fit.
