@Cave_Escaper@TheUnaButters@Mr_manta14@ThatTallGuy02 It’s a point of contention bc it’s a stupid change lol. You don’t need to count ALL of the needles dawg, just what’s left after getting a compound explosion. Some of y’all literally didn’t play the game(s) (or play them right) and it shows
@antidissident@HolyGrailVictor@interstatejuche Bc Minnesota is currently stonewalling the federal fraud investigation. Holy shit dude if you’re gonna try and argue about something at least pretend to know what tf you’re talking about
@_VoteBlue_@shillingpoint@Howlingmutant0 Says the fucking illiterate shill lol. Tell you what? Why don’t you go be stupid over on Bluesky where the only four people in the world who are somehow dumber than you can fawn over your faux intelligence. You’d be doing the rest of us a favor
@_VoteBlue_@shillingpoint@Howlingmutant0 Holy fuck for the last fucking time since you continue to pretend to be illiterate. Obama did not investigate govt leaking. He spied on journalists in a mass phishing scheme and threatened them with criminal charges if they did not give up ANY confidential sources they had
@_VoteBlue_@shillingpoint@Howlingmutant0 Like I’m sorry, but the two aren’t even in the same fucking stratosphere. If you’ve got your head so far up your own TDS-obsessed asshole that you can’t separate a president being adversarial to a hostile press and blatant 1st + 4th amd violations I don’t know what to tell you
@_VoteBlue_@shillingpoint@Howlingmutant0 Are you fucking daft? Obama used an obscure 1917 law to illegally wiretap reporters who committed zero crimes and threatened to indict then for espionage crimes unless they “voluntarily” gave up their confidential sources to the govt. That’s 100% worse than what Trump’s doing
@_VoteBlue_@shillingpoint@Howlingmutant0 Don’t pretend like you magically don’t understand what’s going on now bud. You can’t demand proof the Biden DOJ went after reporters then discard the most prominent cases of exactly that happening bc you don’t like the News agency they work for. Fuck off bud
@_VoteBlue_@shillingpoint@Howlingmutant0 So we’re being retarded and ignorant now, got it. Glad to see that the left is still never willing to accept they were wrong even when sources empirically on their side of the aisle (ACLU is definitely not a rightwing org) refute them
@shillingpoint@_VoteBlue_@Howlingmutant0 They also attempted to prosecute an unnamed Fox News reporter as a “potential conspirator” during the prosecution of State Dept. whistleblower Stephen Kim in 2014 but ended up dropping charges due to lack of evidence
@_VoteBlue_@shillingpoint@Howlingmutant0 I would argue illegally wiretapping journalists and arresting their sources is like the textbook definition of “quiet piggy”, but I guess it’s (D)ifferent when someone y’all like do it or something
@_VoteBlue_@shillingpoint@Howlingmutant0 Dawg what the fuck are you talking about lol? The Obama administration literally used the espionage act as justification for acquiring illegal wiretaps and email subpeona records on a bunch of journalists and threatened them to give up their whistleblower sources or else
@_VoteBlue_@shillingpoint@Howlingmutant0 OP is literally still correct? Obama used the espionage act in order to illegally spy on reporters and uncover the leakers. They still had to place illegal or highly immoral surveillance on the reporters in the first place, even if they themselves weren’t being prosecuted
@antidissident@interstatejuche Hey buddy… you know how we eventually ramp up to thousands of cases? By NOT electing the party that openly campaigns on importing more of them. Saying “they aren’t doing enough” is not a valid excuse to either sit out elections or vote for the side that will erase ALL progress
@antidissident@interstatejuche Thanks for explaining why accelerationism doesn’t work and why we shouldn’t root for the other guys to win the midterms in the vain hopes it gets so much worse moderates and indies get radicalized
@HarrySamuel@KhaledHossam206@Captain_Keeli Just because you’re too fucking stupid to understand messages other than “bad guy go boom” does not mean that 50 years of Star Wars source material goes up in smoke. This convo is pointless bc you’re just gonna keep arguing in circles, so you can go be a loser elsewhere now
@HarrySamuel@KhaledHossam206@Captain_Keeli Make the empire less corrupt or fascist, it just makes the rebellion/new republic less cookie cutter good guys. We have multiple fucking expressions in the english language (like “the path to hell is paved with good intentions”) to explain this exact fucking phenomena. Again (2)
