            I was full of sympathy for that kid until I found out he’s possibly been torturing and killing animals. From his supposed former behavioral therapist. It seems like he might have been lying though. He does have a photo of him with Barron and some other kids. I’m not going to link because I don’t have to spread possible misinformation.

            I don’t know what to think. I hate living in the post-truth world.

              The sad part for me was hearing his “I like my sootcase” viral clip. That kid has a strong Slovenian accent, and the only person around him with that accent is his mother. Even if she was his primary caretaker, his accent would have been dulled by the fact that he’s around so many Americans with American accents… But nope, that accent is every bit as strong as his mother’s. The poor kid likely never gets attention from anyone except Melania. He has almost certainly been isolated from everyone around him for a long time, because he has really only picked up on his mother’s accent.

              And that kind of isolation will wreak havoc on a developing child.

      He wont be, because every american, whom isn’t trying to do it or organizing the deed, is either a pussy and/or a moron. If an american reads this and think “surely danekrae doesn’t mean me, I voted against the rapist”… Yes, you.

        Just so you’re aware, people aren’t downvoting “to show you.” They’re downvoting because your comment is stupid. You can try to make yourself think the downvotes are actual validation if you want, but they aren’t. It’s people who think you’re an idiot. Whether it happens are not, it isn’t because there’s no one in the US (or world) who isn’t a pussy who’d be willing to do it. There’s plenty of reasons people won’t/haven’t/shouldn’t assassinate him.

        If American democracy still exists in four years, he won’t be eligible to run in the next election to begin with.

        If it doesn’t, voting him out obviously wouldn’t work.

      Cars checks all the boxes to them - helps with segregation, creates demand for oil, multiple vectors for environmental destruction, weird nostalgia and culture war fodder, another subsidy for rural/suburban voters, and it’s the embodiment of not giving a shit about anyone else’s and being a big boy. But yeah each of the individual factors boils down to spite.

        The stupidest part to me is that toll roads work this way and are wildly popular with conservatives. They’re just angry it’s a public thing and that it’s for public transportation support and not to make some private company money.

          Thing is…this is just another toll. It bills you the same as all the other tolls in the city. They just gave it a different name. That’s it. In the first days, people were bitching because they took the trains and the busses, but everyone who isn’t an asshole (those of us who don’t drive) didn’t even realize it took effect and everyone was like “woah, what’s going on? Is it a holiday? It was so quiet on my way to work. It was awesome.”

    Fun Fact: The Roman Republic viewed regicide as a virtue. As I understand it, “he was trying to become king” was grounds for a justifiable homicide defense.

      Yeah, even when they had Emperors the idea was so ground in that they never claimed the title of Rex.

      Partly because Imperator was seen as better anyways but it was absolutely a thing.

      Fun East Rome Best and Worst Rome Fact: the ERE Emperor claimed the title Basilieus basically the moment Western Rome fell. Guess what it means?

    I know that there were a significant amount of people that voted republican because of the lies that were told saying he’d fix the economy. Shit like this is something only the hardcore Republicans wanted. They are always boasting about winning, but if we had an election after all this shit came out I’m almost positive Trump would lose by a landslide. We’re already seeing some Republicans getting their faces eaten and are questioning their loyalty.

    Basically what I’m saying is that I’m pretty sure the majority of the US does not want this. And I’m sure there are plenty within MAGA that are shitting themselves right now as they sit there afraid for their lives to go against any of this. Especially those that aren’t straight white men.

      Lol, none of this is a surprise or new. Leopards and face eating was planned and expected. The majority of the US voted or abstained for him. This is the outcome. This is what they implicitly wanted. If what they voted for is different to what they thought, they haven’t been duped. The information was available. They have been wantonly ignorant. That’s not to say we should blame voters. That’s to say, hopefully people become more informed and accept that when Republicans allow the deplorable a to take over, this is what happens. When democrats try to take the high ground but don’t prosecute insurrection and treason and fix the supreme court, this is what happens.

      History teaches us these patterns. It is why they are trying so hard to erase and rewrite history.

      If the goal of taking shrooms is to forget about what’s happening around the world despite our human potential or the pain of every day life; might I recommend something like meth or heroin instead?

      Shrooms at this point will probably just open your mind up to the really dark thoughts you’re subconsciously suppressing and make you more depressed. Tripping on shrooms isn’t something that heals you, it’s the changes you make after the trip that matter.

      Also, I’m kidding about doing meth or heroin. Don’t.
