If she never had a significant role why the fuck was she made the nominee? That argument doesn’t make Biden look better. Idiots. Every single person in that white house.

Wow how very wrong

Oohh looking forward to this one

Is it tho?

Was always gonna be

Oh I can only fucking hope. Poetic in just about every possible way

A video game that I’ll get around to playing in like a decade after I get through the other games in my back log but hey it was on sale lmao

Can’t they, meaning Dems, just read them on the Senate or House floor to make them part of public record with no barriers?

is something actually stopping them or are they just protecting pedophiles while doing a bit of theater about it?

I’m sure the sort of was cuz he knew he’d get in trouble for stating the obvious and was trying to hedge his language. Like “I didn’t def say x cause y, just that it maybe kind of did”.

I mean political violence has always been a feature of American history. We don’t need this to show it

Always has been. Whenever someone says “this is not who we are” they are willfully lying or have had a very poor history education. We can aspire to be better but for all of American history, political violence has been a feature.

The states aren’t over but the idea of American democracy is basically dead. The govt is just really fucking broken. Sure the country exists and will continue to do so, but the systems are clearly broken, corrupt, and rotten beyond the capability of the modern political reality to fix.

As far as I can see best we can hope so is dramatic reform, like many many new amendments that completely change how the govt works to the point where it’s questionable if it is really the same govt. And the sadly more realistic outcome might be that reform either won’t happen or will only come after much suffering and conflict

Woah hold up. That seems like too good of an idea for democrats

Fair enough. I think lots of people talk about it like they were expecting that it’s suddenly open season on em all, but yeah true. This could be a trend. Well have to see.

Idk. Lot of people hoped Luigi would spark a trend and that never materialized. Don’t fret too much

Switzerland requires training courses and other regulations we don’t have have afaik, though not an expert, which likely helps a lot.

America as a non homogenous society, and always has been rife with divisions as well. These divisions easily, even subconsciously stoke fear into people, prompting a bigger draw towards self defense.

Early pioneer spirit also drilled it into the American consciousness. Needed a gun to defend your farm/animals from predators or other people when law enforcement didn’t exist or was hours away back in the day. Also leads to guns being in the family, needing back ups, a gun for every able bodied person etc …

So a big culture of self defense being the only viable defense for much of American history, consistent concerns about the “others” (for a large chunk of time also includes slave revolts), and relatively lax requirements (stemming from the other reasons mentioned) and boom. Crazy gun obsessed culture.

Yeah. Carotid or maybe jugular? Point is dude just had a tap open up in his neck going full blast. Modern medicine is good but it ain’t that good

Yeah morbid curiosity got the better of me. You are making the smarter choice

Well damn. That’s some effective magic lol

Woops thought you were giving a rating for a moment lol
