It’s not just that. It’s that our system is supposed to err on the side of letting even potentially guilty people go free, so long as there is reasonable doubt. This guy was loaded up with fentanyl (enough to kill), had a ton of blockage from cholesterol, and was even covid positive. On top of that, there was no sign of dumbass Chauvin having done any physical damage to this guy, and he used a move listed in their own goddamn manual. How, in the fuck, should there have not been reasonable doubt that Chauvin killed him? Seriously - the decision wasn't supposed to be whether you thought he did it. It's supposed to be, when looking at all the evidence, is it reasonable that he might not have? It’s so blatantly obvious their decision was political. There is zero fucking way anyone can look at all that, and think that the state didn't leave any reasonable doubt that he was guilty as chargecd.
Additionally, the case clearly should have been overturned as a mistrial based on all the following bullshit:
- Minnesota decided to pay out around 30 million right before the trial, all but admitting guilt, and clouding the juror pool.
- There was that juror that lied about being an activist, and then a bunch of pictures came out later of him wearing activist shirts like BLM, etc.
- Activists leaving pig’s blood, and the head, at the door of one of the Chauvin’s expert witnesses, clearly attempting to intimidate, and influence the trial.
- Biden running his mouth in an extremely public way, telling everyone what “the right verdict” was, and how he would be retried federally, if necessary, to get it (executive branch interfering with judicial...)
- That raging asshole/racist Maxine Waters (congresswoman) giving press conferences all but demanding violent rioting if they didn’t get the verdict they wanted (legislative branch interfering with judicial...)
And so on, and so on...
Regardless of what sort of person Chauvin may/may not have been, this case was disgusting, and is a horrible stain on our system of justice. The left, and the media decided this case, NOT our laws.
The entire thing is just more of people shitbag leftists trying to set/create a narrative in which the white male is a raging idiot, who doesn't deserve the success he achieved, and it was instead the Asian guy, and the woman that actually deserved the credit.
Again - it's all so tiresome.
Perfect, George Lucas is not, but the guy did (with plenty of help. we all constantly interact with others, and get new ideas, help, etc.) give birth to an amazing film/universe.
This.
There is around a 50-60 yard difference (around 26%) difference in length for men vs women. When you combine this with the women’s tee boxes being significantly closer to the hole, allowing a man to play on the women’s tour would be a massacre.
For those who don’t play golf, the longer you hit your tee shot on any hole that isn’t reachable in 1 shot (which is basically just the par 3 holes, and a few short par 4’s), the shorter your second “approach” shot into the green (that’s where you see people putting the ball into the hole) is. This makes a huge difference because the longer a shot has to be, the less accurate it will be.
It gets even worse when you consider the following. On a 420 hard hole, If I am 320 off the tee, and that leaves me a 100 yards to the hole, and a woman is 250 off the tee, leaving 170 to the hole, we are now looking at: me pitching (a closer range, more accurate style of shot) a wedge close into the hole, vs a weaker woman still having to cover 170 yards, which is not only longer in general, but also takes her way more club to cover. She’d need something like a 4 or 5 iron (significantly more club, to hit a significantly less accurate) full swing to land the ball somewhere (probably not close), on the green.
Basically, being long confers tremendous advantage, not just in being able to hit the ball further, but in making all subsequent shots closer, and thus allowing you to be more accurate. Here’s a chart of how much longer men are than women.. For the layman, just look at the last “carry” column. That will be how far the ball is moving in the air, before striking the ground, and rolling.
TLDR, as with almost everything else, natutre/God has provided men with bodies that are dramatically more adept at anything physical. It’s not anything to be “sad” about, as nature is not concerned with our concept of “fairness” at all. It just is what it is, and we separate our sports for good fucking reason.
It’s so infuriating that the left is continuously allowed to seat these SC justices that are clearly making highly political activist type rulings.
There needs to be a more simple process to get people removed when it is obvious they have zero intention of doing their actual job, being only looking at the consistency of something with regards to the fucking Constitution. They are basically just admitting they lied about their oath, and that should be grounds for removal.
That's exactly what the pardon says. He's absolved of anything (federal) he did - already convicted of, or as of yet not accused of - during the 11 year period starting in 2014, and running through 2024.
It would seem that they are using this to close off the Burisma stuff, or any of the other influence peddling he was involved in.
It's actually even worse than just being a "violent lunatic". He was a violent lunatic who had been arrested 42 separate times, 4 of them being for assaulting random people, the most recent being an attack on a 67 year old woman:
The woman sustained a broken nose, a fractured orbital bone, and "bruising, swelling and substantial pain to the back of her head" in the Nov. 12 attack, according to a criminal complaint.
This guy was 100% a danger to everyone in that city, and Daniel Penny did absolutely nothing wrong in acting on this asshole bursting into a train, and informing the riders that he was going to "fucking kill everyone".
It's absolutely disgusting that Penny is probably at greater than 50/50 odds for going to prison for stepping up, and stopping this menace in his latest (and final. LOL) attack. When you've violently assaulted multiple random people, up to and including literally breaking the faces of nearly 70 year old women, I don't really give a fuck if you die when someone tries to stop you.
Update: The Guardian is no longer posting on X, Don Lemon is leaving X, expect more to follow suit. This is just hilarious.
I've said this multiple times both here, and on reddit. The left is going to be gunning so hard to get people off Twitter/X, and to outright destroy it now. They absolutely cannot stand the fact that they no longer have complete control over the messaging/narrative going out to the masses. Those "Community Notes" corrections that now appear every time some entity like The Guardian, The Washington Post, The New York Times, etc. tries to set the narrative (to a BS spin of what really happened) infuriates them. Think about how they used this control during the first Trump presidency. That is now (currently) not available to them, and they are shitting themselves.
The left cannot stand on its own without having total control of the messaging the public is being fed. Once again - normal people don't come to the ideological conclusions that the left has tried to propagandize everyone into having. They are indoctrinated into all the crazy shit (the trans stuff, the hating your own race stuff, the hating your own country stuff, etc). Thus, they need Musk/X to fail. They're entire existence depends on having the control that he (and others) are taking away.
This is why the whole left-being-in-charge-of-AI thing is so goddamned frightening to me. Google already serves up a an "AI Overview" for nearly every search you - and every other person on the planet - does now. The "AI" that provides that summary is trained by, and trained on stuff exclusively produced by, the left. They are the sole deciders of what is a "credible" source, and they are building the "AI" to have the same opinion of what is "credible" as they do.
They are going to have virtually total control over what people believe is "true".
I don't know why there aren't more people on the right that are terrified right now. Thinking of how the left abuses literally every bit of power they come into, they are 100% going to use this for indoctrination, and narrative control.
Nothing is below these people. They are the most hateful people on the planet. The second you, I, the latino men, the black men, the fucking pygmy hippo, runs afoul of their politics, we're all subhuman monsters that need to be killed.
These people - the really radical ones - have zero actual morals, or values. The only thing they value is gaining, and maintaining power, and then using it to force your compliance with their politics.
It was the first chink in their "total ability to control the online narrative/discussion for nearly all people in the middle" armor.
They will literally never shut the fuck up about him after that. The left cannot survive without the ability to control the news/narrative, and he broke that. Every time the average person gets to see what they've been hiding from them, stuff immediately goes south for them.
The average human doesn't want what the radical left wants. What they want isn't normal. People are indoctrinated into sharing the radical left's worldview.
Not sure, but they sure must be after this m’fer. Here is what you get served up on a google search:
About: Graham George Linehan is an Irish comedy writer and anti-transgender activist. He created or co-created the sitcoms Father Ted, Black Books, and The IT Crowd, and he has written for shows including Count Arthur Strong, Brass Eye and The Fast Show.
You don’t even have to click search to get it served up. It’s so fucking crazy how much power the left has to set the narrative on anything via their control over the internet companies.
The media always does this with women. Whenever google serves you up a photo to go with whomever you searched, or you look at a wiki entry - if it’s of a woman, it’s always at least a decade out of date.
This lady is one of the best examples ever.
Kamabalaballah gets sworn in to office in January -> Nobody fucking does anything about it, part II.
You're missing some important steps there:
- Media spends the entire time they're "counting the votes", and after they've declared the "winner", blasting the public with how, if they don't accept this result, they're traitors, and insurrectionists, and how they should have seen what happened to the "insurrectionists" last time.
- Leftist politicians conspire with the tech companies to prevent anyone from challenging things too much online.
- Leftist politicians use the power of government, backed by the threat/application of force, to go after anyone that tries to organize any opposition.
Which then reminds me of the single greatest thing to come out of the new B&B stuff. "Your mouth works, ma'am. You can stop testing it.". Man! I've watched this probably a dozen times, at this point, and it's still funny every goddamn time.
Seriously - fuck this guy.
The entire article (not to even mention the no-endorsement ploy) is one massive spin attempt, in which he tries to appear to “get it”, and to be conciliatory, but you barely need to read any further than the micron deep surface to see how he actually feels: he thinks they’ve done/are doing nothing wrong, and it simply infuriates him that some people have tuned them out, and are tuning stuff like Rogan’s podcast in. Oh. They’re also mad that Elon stopped them from 100% controlling the narrative online (and silencing any critics) by spending a bajillion dollars on Twittter,
Likewise with newspapers. We must be accurate, and we must be believed to be accurate. It’s a bitter pill to swallow, but we are failing on the second requirement.
The guy clearly thinks they only suffer from the second problem he laid out - i.e., it’s not that they aren’t reporting professionally, unbiasedly, truthfully, it’s just that the big bad right and Donald Trump have convinced the unwashed masses that they’re lying. Yeah… no. For the last 8 years, all of you assholes have run near 24/7 outright propaganda in an absolutely disgusting attempt to keep “your side” in power. You were wiling to print anything - literally anything (didn’t matter if it was second hand, third hand, completely unsourced, made up, outright bullshit) - so long as you thought it would hurt the right, and help the left. You guys (for any part of the public that is actually engaged enough to pay attention, anyway) suffer from both of your “requirements”, now. You’re completely biased, and full of shit, and people know you’re full of shit.
God, this article infuriates me. I’m so goddamn tired of their attempts to spin everything. Even the no-official-endorsement stuff is absolutely obnoxious spin. Anyone that isn’t a retard knows that, of course, all these people endorse Harris/The Left. That was his whole game here: saying to themselves, “why bother giving the endorsement, when literally everyone knows it’s implicit. This way, we can act like we are being so virtuous, and garner some brownie points! Look how clever a boy I am!”.
TLDR: guy’s teh big mad that his ability to push propaganda, and control the narrative isn’t 100% as strong as he feels it should be.
We need to have a little more compassion than that. This particular person is most likely just another super weak willed individual that allowed herself to be indoctrinated into this, and that's what all of this is: indoctrination.
She's owned up to it. She's realized she fucked up. She seems actively engaged in calling out that system of indoctrination, which - in whatever small way - may stand a chance of helping others not fall to her same fate. She deserves a bit of understanding, and compassion for that.
Look - anyone here can read through my comments. I absolutely loathe the radical left with every fiber of my being at this point. That being said, even I have to catch myself, from time to time, and think about what that level of resolve/hatred might be turning me into?
So - the activists that are indoctrinating these people? Go all out. Hold nothing back. These are the ones that need to be driven out. The weak willed people that succumbed to this massive indoctrination campaign? We've got to allow for a bit of compassion. They need to see that they can be allowed a way out to redemption. Yes, they should have been stronger people. They weren't. If they're willing to admit their failures, there has to be some level of forgiveness. Being weak willed doesn't make them subhuman.

I'm constantly worried about passing as a female, even though I fucking am one.
LOL. Man. I actually feel bad (just a little bit) laughing out loud at that line, but God - if that line doesn't read exactly like we live in Teh Clown World...
Fuck the left for this. Goddamn, people for being so weak willed that they allowed these activists to entrench themselves like they have.
- That usually leads to higher trust societies and more peace, see Japan and Switzerland
This one always drives me so mad. It does so because reddit is absolutely filled to the brim with outright weebs, and on top of them, there is nary a person that isn't always heaping praise on Japan whenever it comes up in any discussion: on its culture; on its train system; on how "everything is so clean!"; on how it's low crime; on how everyone is respectful....
Look - I am married to a woman from there. If I add up all the trips we have taken there to be with her relatives, I've spent more than a year of my life there. Everytime I'm there, it feels so refreshing (and I say this even living in a super nice place in the US). I love Japan, and don't ever want to see it change. People exaggerate (somewhat) how good things are, but - of the things they are praising Japan for - the vast majority of it is better, directly because of the fact that they lack the exact same diversity the left is trying to ram down everyone else's throats.
It turns out that, when everyone is from roughly the same background, shares roughly the same ideals, grows up in roughly the same manner, and feels a sense of national being, society has a lot less friction, can be a lot higher trust, and a lot better, in just about every way. The time I spend over there, makes me imagine that that's what it must have been like to exist in the earlier version of the United States. That that's what it must have been to live in the US pre allowing the left to start destroying society.
So, anyhow, it's infuriating how those same shitbag leftists absolutely refuse to make the connection. Diversity - on the scale that the left wants to use to destroy all western nations - is most certainly NOT a strength. The diversity they want just creates nations with no shared culture, no trust, no one feels any obligations, everyone's at everyone else's throats, and it doesn't fucking work.
The stuff all the idiots admire/praise Japan for all exists because the left hasn't been allowed to destroy it (yet).
These people take over subs (and hobbies), and then just repurpose them for their political activism. You see it all over the place where they put up the stupid fucking “pride” flag in the banner, to show it has been taken over.
