the world isn’t ready for a woman president so I didn’t even vote.

Aren’t we like the only country that still hasn’t had a woman leading the nation? Maybe I’m not the best to get family advice from but my family hasn’t heard from me for almost 2 decades now and I think you’d be a lot happier if you could say the same.

Dude needs to learn about blocklists if that’s what his feed looks like. There definitely is a cesspool but it’s pretty isolated.

Kind of ironic that mastodon is posting this, no?

I’ve tagged you as “thinks gop supports Palestine.” Hope you prove me wrong.

Probably. Considering how little air time his sex trafficking has received and it being an almost non-existent topic on fox.

What is fun, uplifting and playful about saying immigrants are eating pets? What is fun, uplifting and playful about accusing trans people of being sexual predators? Did we watch the same gop campaign? They’re fueled off hate stop making it seem like anything else.

Nope. According to all my neighbors I’m the only one with chickens

And the party of tradition won’t care

I have some backyard chickens. One day a chick appeared on my porch and decided to follow my hens around and never left. Turns out roosters will find hens even in the middle of a small city.

“it is a period of civil war” didn’t alert anyone the movie they’re about to watch is going to be political?

Still a thing in rural USA.

Ah yes, call the police because you got beat up for soliciting sex with a minor. Definitely would go the way you think.

You have to be a little bit smarter

No I don’t.

Ideally access to guns would be more strictly regulated across the board and not just with cops. But the thing you’re complaining about is literally happening right now even with every cop having a gun so your emotional response isn’t going to work on me.

Sure in theory, but in practice?

Well you see, the law doesn’t apply to some people. Hope this helps.

Staying home when you know a rapist has a chance is still making a choice.

violence should be a last resort

Still doesn’t explain why every single cop gets a gun instead of just something like swat.

I launch 20 rockets at a military base

Which military base did the pagers go off in? This is more like dropping bombs on a school or hospital because you think there are some military personnel inside. Oh wait, they do that too. I can’t believe Israel managed to get a bunch of idiots to defend IED’s.

Well let’s see, the FBI calls international terrorism “Violent, criminal acts committed by individuals and/or groups who are inspired by, or associated with, designated foreign terrorist organizations or nations (state-sponsored).” And I’d argue the pagers were state-sponsored, violent, and to my knowledge criminal since killing civilians is typically viewed as criminal.

But I really like how Wikipedia words it:

the use of violence against non-combatants to achieve political or ideological aims. The term is used in this regard primarily to refer to intentional violence during peacetime or in the context of war against non-combatants (mostly civilians and neutral military personnel). There are various different definitions of terrorism, with no universal agreement about it. Different definitions of terrorism emphasize its randomness, its aim to instill fear, and its broader impact beyond its immediate victims.

Do I really need to spell out for you how using an IED to kill whoever happens to be near it when the detonator is pressed fits this definition? If so I’d like to see why you think Oct 7th was a terrorist attack.
