Tim Walz— who decided not to run for reelection because of revelations that he participated in the coverup of billions of dollars worth of welfare fraud— just pardoned a convicted child rapist to protect him from deportation.

Let me tell you something, comrade.

No American thinks we are exceptional because we are richer, stronger and more powerful than everyone else.

We are exceptional because we are American. It is our value system that built wealth, strength, and power.

It was the American values etched into the souls of generations of people in this country that built what we have today.

Those values are something you clearly cannot understand, or you choose not to, because they would require you building something of your own.

Our nation was founded by people who simply wanted a chance to build something for themselves.

It wasn’t about being richer than others. It wasn’t about being more powerful than others. It wasn’t about being stronger than others.

It’s certainly wasn’t built on what you propose, this hideous belief that you or anyone is somehow entitled to what other people built.

That is the antithesis of America. Your ideas would have been laughed out of America 250 years ago. You ran an entire mayoral campaign on seizing assets from others.

The sheer concept of expecting the government to force hard-working people to feed, house, and fund other able-bodied men and women would have been roundly ridiculed.

In fact, that is why people migrated to America. It was about freedom.

They fled oppressive government, they fled the type of tyranny you are promoting. Where their work was not theirs, where the fruits of their labor were taken from them.

They fled here not expecting a handout, but simply hoping for a chance to build something on their own. A chance to bet on themselves.

That dream is still vibrantly alive today for the those that choose to work hard and pursue it.

You, of course, sell that it is not possible. That it is a zero sum game. That the success of one group must therefore be at the expense of another group, which is a disgusting lie disguised as “promoting fairness”.

That is the opposite of our American value system.

In America, we believe in abundance. We believe in hard work. We believe in merit. We believe in earning things. We believe if you learn, work hard, and do your best, doors will open. And they do. Every time.

Those beliefs are what made America exceptional, and that is why America continues to be the greatest country in the history of mankind.

All despite men like you.

I’m not sure you would like to see a flood of military personnel, deciding that they should actively participate in politics in uniform.

In fact, I don’t think I can fully articulate just how much you would not like that.

NUCLEAR POWER.

IT DOESN'T CARE IF THE SUN'S SHINING OR THE WIND'S BLOWING.

IT DOESN'T NEED BATTERIES FULL OF COBALT OR LITHIUM DUG UP BY CONGOLESE CHILD SLAVES IN CHINESE-OWNED MINES.

AND IT HAS LOWER LIFETIME GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS THAN SOLAR, AND ABOUT THE SAME AS WIND.

IT'S NOT EVIL DEVIL MAGIC. IT'S METAL THAT GETS HOT AND BOILS WATER TO MAKE STEAM THAT TURNS TURBINES.

THERE'S NO SMOKE. THE SHIT THAT COMES OUT OF THE COOLING TOWER IS JUST STEAM.

NUCLEAR PRODUCES AT LEAST A HUNDRED TIMES LESS RADIOACTIVE POLLUTION THAN COAL WHICH CONTAINS TRACE RADIOACTIVE ELEMENTS WHICH GO INTO THE AIR WHEN BURNED.

NUCLEAR POWER DOESN'T HAVE THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE ALL NUCLEAR WASTE IS CONTAINED, AND NO NUCLEAR WASTE CASKET HAS EVER LEAKED IN THE HISTORY OF AMERICAN NUCLEAR POWER.

NUCLEAR POWER IS SAFE.

IT'S EFFECTIVE.

IT DOES LESS DAMAGE TO THE ENVIRONMENT THAN COAL, OR EVEN WIND AND SOLAR WHICH REQUIRE A FUCK TON OF LAND AND TOXIC METALS FOR WHICH WE HAVE NO PLAN TO DEAL WITH.

NUCLEAR POWER IS THE CLOSEST THING TO A PERFECT ENERGY SOURCE THE HUMAN SPECIES HAS EVER DISCOVERED.

WE'VE HAD THE TECHNOLOGY SINCE THE 1950S. IF WE EMBRACED IT FROM THE START, WE WOULDN'T HAVE CLIMATE CHANGE TODAY. WE COULD HAVE HAD ALL OF THE AIR CONDITIONING WE EVER WANTED, ALONG WITH EVERY OTHER MODERN CONVENIENCE WE'RE CONSTANTLY SHAMED FOR TODAY.

BUT WE SAID NO.

WHAT THE FUCK ARE WE DOING AS A SPECIES?

ARE WE FUCKING RETARDED?

@SinvexActual Ya, except Fahrenheit isn’t based on water, so who gives a fuck it’s irrelevant.

“Under God” was added to the Pledge of Allegiance in 1954, not invented in 1954.

The exact wording was actually inspired by Lincoln:

“that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom” - Lincoln, Gettysburg Address

The concept dates back to 1776:

“the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God” - Declaration of Independence

The constitution itself is even dated:

“in the Year of our Lord 1787”

If you’re going to play the history card at least google it first. Im all for freedom of religion, but pretending the USA was founded by a bunch of atheists and agnostics is just silly.

Have you guys considered just letting Americans have fun without injecting your divisive racial politics into things?

Did it even cross your mind?

"There's no way 250,000 girls were raped in the UK. That number must be exaggerated."

Okay, let's pretend it's exaggerated, just for the sake of argument.

How many children need to be raped for you to be upset about it?

[Chris Goble @CGoble04]

Reason #14,756 of why guys like me hate the media:

For months, they screamed, "America isn't ready for the World Cup! It's gonna be a mess!"

Opposite proving true.

We didn't have to build a thing, and every stadium is shining like the new hot chick.

20-something Euro fans are falling in love with Buc-ees, country music, and the South. Country music and NFL stars are treating randos from X to luxury suites and concert tickets. Neighborhoods are throwing bbq's for VRBO foreigners.

America rules. This is incredible. Our best, everyday selves are on display, and we're crushing. Once again, reports of our racist, incompetent demise have been greatly overstated.

America forever 🇺🇸

Every Sci-Fi writer who wants to do travel between different star systems has to deal with a fundamental problem:
The distances are insane.

There are multiple ways of tackling this. The first one is to just go really fast, up to a significant fraction of the speed of light. That's HARD. You have to know physics, deal with time dilation and so on; essentially you're forced to build large parts of your story around relativity.

The other option is to go "faster than light" without actually accelerating in a conventional sense. That's warp in Star Trek or hyperdrive in Star Wars. You can have the space travel without any of those nasty little issues that relativity introduces into your story. Great!

Once you insinuate that you accelerate a mass to near light speed, though, you open up the entire can of worms that comes with it. Your world building then has to deal with the fallout.

TLJ does not. It breaks the rules that were set up earlier. It retroactively destroys the plot of 2 of the 3 original movies by making the Death Star completely redundant: Who needs a giant space lazor when you can just strap a hyperdrive to a large stone and ram it into a planet at near light speed?

The fact that this nonsense ever got made shows how little respect Rian Johnson has not only for the lore, but also for his colleague who then had the near impossible task of cleaning up this mess (not that it mattered that much; the last sequel movie was an insane clusterfuck in is own right).
