Given the rest of the package, I will not extend the grace of assuming the best case scenario.
It’s pickle pepperoni pizza.
Which… I mean…
Democrats
Taking a hard stance
Pick ONE.
Picard, later: RAMMING SPEED!
This is literally a Good Ole Boy network at work. It looks like he’s a dairy farmer, though how much actual labor he does is anyone’s guess. He may also be a redneck, but he’s a good ole boy, and this is what that looks like when that system is working.
Ceasefire you say? Boys! They’ve stopped shooting shoot them!
The war on drugs was a dog whistle continuation of the Jim Crow era. Because it was now illegal to discriminate against black people simply for being black, new methods of oppression needed to be instituted. When Nixon announced the war on drugs, drug use was going down and was approaching it’s lowest point in decades. His hope was that by finding ways to continue to police black people, he’d win support of Southern Democrats who were largely at the time, pro labor but mad about the civil rights movement.
This strategy worked, and it was continued and expanded under Reagan. When Nancy Reagan pleaded with Americans to ‘just say no’ drug use was at about 3% nationwide.
American police were always a tool of oppression of black communities. They grew out of post civil war racist brotherhoods like the KKK. On multiple occasions, entire chapters of KKK members were deputized.
The narco trafficking the CIA did was a natural progression of this, and was used as an excuse to further militarize the police.
“Because they were black” is a simple answer. And it’s correct. But you could add “and black people are who we oppress in this country.”
When the NSA does it it’s fine.
When Facebook does it to train it’s models it’s fine.
When individual employees do it it’s fine until the government notices and raises a stink. Then it’s a problem.
Well it’s been knowing you all.
The maniac will end all human civilization. Best of luck to our successors.
Did they buy the Trump insurance? Ohhh shame that, see if you want safe passage you gotta buy the Trump insurance
Later, he would be heard to scoff in indignation at the response to his comment saying “what it was a compliment!”
He went on to tell the female reporter to smile more.
“maybe the clothes are made of paper. The food is just nutrient paste…”
Or something like that from the Expanse. Sure, your needs are met, but living life on basic assistance seems like a nightmare.
A sizable chunk of lemmings are people banned from Reddit for one reason or another.
Because of the federated way lemmy works it’s incredibly easy for toxic users to migrate and continue being a nuisance.
That doesn’t sound like his typical cadence. I don’t think Trump wrote that.
He’d be the dealer.
You gotta sit and listen to his mix tape before he sells you any weed

John Oliver looks like a batch of over whipped vanilla pudding in a toupee.
You son of a bitch. I’m in
Spoilers… For a joke from a kid’s movie with the plot depth of a sidewalk rain pond from 13 years ago.
Some of the children obsessed with that movie when it came out are old enough to rent a car now.
