Reform have today said they want the worst rape gang offenders to 'face whole-life sentences'.

Weak. They must be put to death.

The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter. Or a two-minute video of Narinda Kaur failing to understand what a hypothetical is.

Ah yes, the classic “I read one sentence from the Treaty of Tripoli and now I think I’m a constitutional scholar” argument.

Let me help you out, champ.

That quote? It’s from Article 11 of the 1797 Treaty of Tripoli, written to reassure Muslim powers (specifically the Barbary pirates) that America wasn’t a crusading Christian empire trying to force religion down their throats—because, plot twist: those pirates were enslaving Americans and demanding tribute. That’s kind of important context, no?

The treaty was diplomatic fluff to stop Americans from being sold at North African slave markets, not a philosophical dissertation on the nation’s founding values.

But hey, since we’re cherry-picking, let’s play:

•Patrick Henry (Founding Father):
“It cannot be emphasized too strongly… that this great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religions, but on the gospel of Jesus Christ.”

•John Adams (yes, same guy who signed the treaty):
“The general principles on which the fathers achieved independence were the general principles of Christianity.”

•U.S. Supreme Court (1892 – Church of the Holy Trinity v. U.S.):
“This is a Christian nation.”

Nobody serious is arguing that America was founded as a theocracy. What Speaker Johnson said is that it was founded on Judeo-Christian principles—which is objectively true. The value of human life, natural rights, moral law, equality before God, and freedom of conscience all come straight from that tradition.

So maybe instead of flexing that one sentence from one treaty meant to keep Americans from getting enslaved, try reading literally anything else the Founders wrote—or what the laws, courts, and cultural norms looked like for the first 150 years of the republic.

Reading is good. Comprehension is better.

@Nerdrotics No way they gave Green Coblin the n-word pass.

NYT article about hypergamy. They're conclusion? Women caused Donald Trump to happen by doing too well after getting rights and still demanding to marry up.

Some of my favorite bits of this unintentionally based take 🧵

@SCHIZO_FREQ Sounds like the perfect opportunity to call that guy a retard.

@moricalliope How can an anime where a main plot point is, "He lost his willie," be so amazing? It's incredible.

@Daily_Record Crazy how the Scots, Welsh, and Irish have done nothing but seethe about the English and their banter for thousands of years.

@DAKKADAKKA1 Protected and served. Another superb use of public tax dollars.

@razorfist The sweatlords are bad enough at 3 (I kinda suck, but my friends and I have fun). I don't even want to imagine how much you must suffer.
