  • Only way to get through to conservatives tends to be through their wallets. Unfortunately we all must suffer because of this but so be it...

  • This is incorrect as others pointed out. A phone is not a body cam.

    They released the phone cam, which they used to try to justify his actions with. A body cam wouldn't have because it would've showed he was fucking hit and it would've shown him shooting Renee in the face to the world.

    The reason they don't use body cams is because the unspoken word is, "show what you want people to see; throw the phone down when you don't want them to see it."

    The entire point of a body cam is to always film.

    (not a centrist Dem, btw)

  • Personally I'm partial to believing that capitalism is like a nuclear reactor; can be good, can be bad. Needs sophisticated control rods to maintain stability and prevent it from getting out of control.

    Nordic model nations in a nutshell who are realized not idealized models for some of the happiest and most stable nations on the world.

  • Oh 100% agreed. Also no surprise that the likes of Musk and Russia have heavily promoted, defended, and relied upon encrypted communications like Telegram, WhatsApp, Signal, etc.

    My conspiracy theory is Rand Paul hand-delivered a key to Putin when he flew to Moscow.

  • Easier to take bribes with crypto. I still stand by this being a huge factor in reduced accountability and accelerating corruption.

  • Hey just please confirm you acknowledge the simple fact that Russia is the aggressor in Ukraine!

    Edit: Oof. Deafening silence. Gave themselves away.

  • Using them as actual slaves. This guy is sick.

    Does your sister condone this or is she complaining to you about it? Take video of these threats, consider sendimg them to ProPublica or AP.

  • Ah, and therein lies the problem ladies & gentlemen.

    • Ad Ignorantiam fallacy states otherwise.
    • "Fake" is itself an assertion requiring evidence, independent from stating neutrality, e.g., "We don't know whether it is true or not."
    • Also, circular-reasoning fallacy: Who says they're extraordinary claims within the context of what we already know?

  • Unverified? Yes. Corroborating some of what we already know? Also yes.

    Proven fake? Definitely not. That is unless you are to believe the word of Republicans and Trump.

  • lmao this kid saw, "Russia if you're listening," the Mueller reporter (did not exonerate), numerous Trump cabinet members imprisoned for speaking to Russian spies, Krasnov and Steele dossier, Trump flying to Moscow in 80s only to within weeks upon return out a full page ad abolishing NATO in 3 major newspapers, saw the hand-delivered letter flown to Moscow by Rand Paul on behalf of Trump; saw numerous GOP Congressmen fly over to Moscow to have private meetings on 4th of July no less.

    ... And apparently cannot connect the dots lmao.

  • Putin couldn't be happier by this chaos and distraction from Ukraine. Investment paying off.

  • Implying all Western sources are illegitimate is called a Fallacy of Origin.

    I'm simply calling a spade a spade. (this may not translate well for your translator).

    Anyways, tagged :)

  • The White House says it’s ‘appropriate’

    Lmfao. Imagine if Obama did this or Biden. Fox News would be droning on and on about, "look how he treats these hard working blue collar workers!?"

  • Oof. Looks like polling showed this is making inroads with the apathetic and he was told he had to schedule an interview to calm the public and look sympathetic. He can never maintain this concern-troll shit up for long.

  • Your English is poor. You aren't winning social points for this unconvincing apologist rhetoric. Or is this punishment already for an infraction? Perhaps mentioning Uyghurs, Tibetans, Hong Kong, or Taiwan sovereignty?

    I wonder if one expects unbiased sources from within a totalitarian regime like North Korea or China going, "Yep! We totally oppress!" haha. So what sources DO you trust? I'm curious!

  • Would've happened regardless; the problem was a majority of Americans were convinced immigration was a problem. This was an attempt of appeasement of the masses ahead of the election.

    I stand by what I said.
