@krassenstein One of the most partisan hacks on this site site says "Okay, but can we stop turning EVERYTHING into a partisan argument for five minutes?"

Dude, YOU are the problem...

@AmyMcGrathKY I remember when every single Democrat voted against the bill that fixed Biden and Peteys mess.

Hey liberal ladies…

Did you see how Texas executed a man for killing his kids, and a grand total of zero dudes showed up in baby blue shirts claiming he was the good guy because providing for your family is tough or something?

Yeah... y'all should take notes on that.

@novabanx @Bambiey57428487 @nonlocalai So you agree the OP is stupid. Thank you.

@billmaher This is what all unions do. Drag down good people. Pull up shitty ones. Bring everyone to the middle.

@SeemaJilani Maybe you missed Dave Chappelles recently. All of a sudden you have some moral compass? 😆

@win_a_grammy_ @nonlocalai Unlikely. Should I give other examples of the stupidity of the OP? I'm more than happy to. There are many.

[Giorgio @CAGenXer]

@Bambiey57428487 @nonlocalai I'm sorry, what was that?

[Giorgio @CAGenXer]

@Mark_InSF In fact California should be the example of what their policies lead to. Total 1 party control for decades.

Democrats sharing this photo have no idea that the guy in the center got his deportation order from Obama, or that the rest were deported by Obama or before that… All due to serious criminal charges before finishing naturalization. Unlike them I have a memory beyond that of a goldfish. Until 5 minutes ago this was just smart immigration policy and both sides agreed on it. Totally staged photo op.

@EmmaVigeland It was 99-1. How bad must his shitty amendment have been if only he voted for it? Stop acting like he's a good senator. He's dog shit.

Hasan Piker hits a wall when he tries to tell a man born in the Soviet Union that Americans are just as controlled as people under communism.

Konstantin Kisin shuts down the comparison and lays out the difference.

When he’s done, even Piker admits he’s right.

HASAN PIKER: “A lot of people think, well, as long as I can eat a Big Mac, you know, as long as I can watch TV, as long as I can consume porn [...] then, you know, things are probably fine.”

“It’s a different mechanism of control that makes you think that you are actually an active participant in this.”

Kisin isn’t buying it.

KONSTANTIN KISIN: “The difference between those countries is not that they can’t eat a Big Mac.”

“The difference is that if they criticize the government, in Russia today even, but of course in the Soviet Union previously, you’re going to get killed, right? In America, that’s not what happens, right? In America, you don’t get put in jail.”

HASAN PIKER: “We don’t know yet.”

That’s his whole defense: what MIGHT happen in America.

So Kisin makes it personal.

KONSTANTIN KISIN: “You in China or in the Soviet Union would be killed if you were critical of that regime.”

HASAN PIKER: “I would definitely be jailed, for sure.”

And there it is. Piker makes Kisin’s argument for him.

KONSTANTIN KISIN: “So that’s the difference between these countries and America. It’s not a Big Mac, it’s freedom.”

Only in a free country can you build a career telling people they aren’t free.

CONTEXT: Communist regimes don’t just jail their critics.

Under Stalin, the Soviet secret police executed 681,692 people in two years, by the regime’s own records. That’s more than 900 a day.

Under Mao, the Great Leap Forward killed at least 45 million people in four years, per historian Frank Dikötter.

Under Pol Pot, nearly a quarter of Cambodia’s population was dead within four years.

@RepYassAnsari October 7th was also not allowed under international law. I'm not seeing any posts from you about that oddly.

@CAgovernor @UNFCCC How much carbon have your trips (not) running for president all over the world have you produced? Not just the hot air you blow talking nonsense, which is probably more than many small countries.
