@TrevorOhio@hoshi_toshiro@TrumpGirlLove If Harris were potus, US would not have gone in WITH Israel. They might only have supplied weapons and stood by while Israel was fighting the war themselves, and said "Pressure on Israel? Never met her"
@Scooby41443182@DerrickEvans4WV Trump's desperate for oil, esp. for all the warships, warplanes, etc. A deployed military force in active operations is a big user of oil. Huge. Oh...you all thought I meant for Americans commuting to work or keeping the heat on?๐
@ArseniaFe99098@DerrickEvans4WV Hollywd has all kinds of characters that make for good entertainment. Ppl lived vicariously through a scripted tv show showing Trump's power-tripping dramatic behavior that should stay on tv, not real life. This is as if some mortal combat fans started ripping spines out irl
@BoLoudon So because gays get treated worse in other muslim countries, US gays should support Americans that hate gays and muslims, is that what you're saying? And this also warrants bombing civilians in said Muslim country, yet again?
@mattvanswol@CalltoActivism Also maybe if the extremist right-wing (your domain, Matt) hadn't floated conspiracies about the supposed ulterior motive of FEMA to take disaster victims' land/homes in NC, more people who rejected help out of suspicion would not have been in tents so long. Straighten your own
@mattvanswol@CalltoActivism That has happened with a lot of hurricanes. Remember Katrina? How about Irma? Where is your energy when the people of Paradise CA STILL have not been able to go back to their town? Same amount of rising risk, whether you live in a floodplain, along a riverbank, or fire-prone mtns
@atrupar "It's weird. My favorite football team was ahead by 2 touchdowns at halftime, and then magically their lead just whittled away until their lead was lost. It looks on its face to be fraudulent. Can I prove it? No."
-- Mike Johnson, the most dishonest asshole in the House.
@atrupar It usually takes longer to count the massive vote tallies in big cities, which tend to lean left. Easy explanation. Also, polls showing Hillary ahead in 2016 dismissed by GOP/Trump bc they won, but not now bc GOP lost?
@jimstewartson@elonmusk The fact you only need to show Stephen Miller's soulless face to see the contrast is telling. We know everything he says is hateful and immoral. THAT guy is Trump's most trusted official/right-hand man.
@BasedTorba Ever heard of the book "How the Other Half Lives"? NYC, Chicago etc back when America "was great" were disgusting, the 'gilded age' was full of misery for most people and middle class barely existed. How do you think we ended up with social programs. They didn't film the filth.
@mikeatcircuit@charise_lee Police - Why did you murder your parents and go on a spending spree with their money?
Menendez Bros. - It's complicated.
Police - But it's still murder and illegal and the motive is questionable due to the spending...
@elonmusk And yet a lot of people in the maga world now are promoting monarchy/authoritarianism, and downplaying slavery. Slavery's lasting effects on social divisions and power dynamics had a direct through-line to the Civil Rights Movement.
@HeethenHistory@ellamaulding Ppl can be corrupted by many things, & often use their religion to justify good - or bad. Ppl w/o a religion get their inspiration for either path from other sources, and this line of thought allows freedom to pursue logic to a *current* nuanced truth - necessary in a democracy
@HeethenHistory@ellamaulding 'Church guidance' has been the source of many heinous crimes - because humans have corrupted it? -Of course! Humans created it with a well-intentioned seed of an idea (with flaws of course) then let their culture dictate it, and now are using it to separate people once again.
