Weird every teacher I know makes dog shit money and the school district still expects them to cover classroom supply shortages out of their own pocket.

Also rising waters lifts all boats. Arguing that some other group shouldn't see life improvements just means someone worse than you is making the same dumb argument against you while the wealthy are happy to pit you against each other and keep your money.

Yeah man, referencing the dictionary and how a word is used vs the nonsense framing you've chosen. Some crazy shit.

May 2023 - "Target removes some Pride Month products after threats against employees" https://www.npr.org/2023/05/24/1177963864/target-pride-month-lgbtq-products-threats

Terrorism is an appropriate word here. Threats of violence to achieve political goals. They threatened employees with violence because the store chose to offer those items. I'm not really sure how much more clear cut it can get. Terrorism isn't just killing people.

• The use of violence or the threat of violence, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political goals.

Ah the proud conservative. Tell me friend, how does it feel to be a champion of legalized pedophilia, aka child marraige? Does knowing you are directly responsible for children being raped, legally, because "its a religious tradition" get the engine going? How about the fact that it's predominantly 60+ year old men "marrying" (to have sex with) young girls and in some cases with no lower age limit? Them proud republican traditions... from the people who have "think of the children" on speed dial. But they never wanted you to think of these children.

I'd be willing to bet you didn't have a clue. Why? Cause your dumb ass is too busy "owning the libs" to bother looking at your party or institutions actions at any level of the government that you arent spoon fed by fox or other republican propaganda mills. Laughable, that's how I see every conservative flinging of the term paedophile. It's funny because your institutions are rife with it, yet you are unphased by the hypocrisy. The catholic church and its priests raping boys is a trope at this point. The Mormon church protects its rapists by changing legislation so they can functionally ignore their confessions instead of reporting to the police. Every other republican politician has a history of sexual deviance, many including children... with the base gasping "imperfect vessel" to hand wave away their disgraceful behavior while accusing their political enemies of the same without a shred of evidence. Straight up moral bankruptcy. Knuckledragging bigots don't need no evidence to parrot their party's political message.

Just like they didn't need evidence to support an insurrection and try to overthrow our duly elected government. Lie to a republican enough, and they will believe anything. Questions like "out of 60 court cases why didn't Trump present any tangible evidence the election was stolen" are just unimportant details when the party asked you to "fight like hell" to maintain their power. Gullible, traitorous lemmings, the lot of them. Watching the Republican party coalesce around these traitors and try to white wash their acts as "desperate patriotism" is just pathetic and disgraceful. Every person that attacked the capitol on January 6th deserve to hang; being a gullible moron doesn't excuse one from the consequences of their actions. You support wannabe dictators at your own peril.

Overall, I can only guess how much spit you unknowingly consume in a year. Not nearly as much as you deserve, I imagine. You could try to be a better person, but then that would get in the way of "owning" the libs. The reality is you are so "owned" by your party day in and out, so much so you don't even know they own you.

"I saw the cross and it struck a nerve. When I think of those men in those dresses molesting children... I saw red, white, and blue... and I knew I needed to stand up for those children's freedom from this den of paedophiles"

This is the news story I'm waiting for. If only the people larping as protectors of children knew the call was coming from inside their own house of worship.

I like to stream from my pc to the deck when I'm feeling like escaping the desk.

Sure champ. The dnc wasn't leaning on the scales hillary was just such a good candidate that she lost to Trump. It's imperative you maintain that ideal otherwise you might come to the realization that you're part of the problem.

Trump would have likely handed Bernie his ass without breaking a sweat

He had a much better chance than "it's her turn" Hillary and her baggage. The problem is he actually has a history of helping people and speaks truth to power, contrary to the interests of the DNC and Corporate democrats like ole Hill. He doesn't bring in that sweet lobbying money from the ultra wealthy, just small donations actually indactive of voter support. It's why Debbie Wasserman-Shultz was giving Bernie debate questions ahead of time, to help him out... oh right that was Hillary that needed the help... because the dnc chose the candidate they wanted and needed to solidify it by any means.

Either way the reality is the DNC has shown it is incapable of being impartial, and that the whole thing is kabuki nonsense to make you think you have a choice in "choosing" the peice of shit they want you to pick. The DNC is controlled opposition for the wealthy to be able to maintain control on both sides. Not like any sane person is going to vote republican... so they limit options to only the shit sandwich while expecting you to thank them for forcing you to eat it then they bitch when nobody is excited about the shit sandwich.

Then here you are "well of course MY shit sandwich was the only choice and if THEY couldn't have won, clearly no other sandwich could have come close so stop asking to try another fucking sandwich." The dishonesty here is just fucking pathetic, but to admit otherwise would be to invite criticism for handing Trump his '16 victory, more so than is already done.

Were this my wife and this bullshit caused her to die the only viable path I could see is personally watching myself squeeze the life out of every single one of these morally bankrupt shit stains. Such utter trash. I don't know why we haven't exiled these cultists from civil society.

He only mostly supports the insurrection and attempted overthrow of our democracy, so it's cool.

Right? These people are seditionists and traitors, calling them dumb children just provides them cover as they try to force their bastardized Christian hegemony on the rest of us.
