  • He hasn't even been arraigned yet. I'm sure his lawyers would bring this up. Luigi's lawyers did the same, as would any lawyer when their client is talked about on the news before a jury is selected.

  • The murder of Charlie Kirk is part of a disturbing rise in political violence that threatens to hollow out public life and make people afraid of participating. From the January 6th, 2021 attack on the United States Capitol, to the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, to the attack on Paul Pelosi, to the attempted kidnapping of Michigan Governor Whitmer, to the murder of Minnesota Speaker of the House Melissa Hortman and her husband, to the arson attack on Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, to the shooting of United Health Executive Brian Thompson, and the shooting several years ago of Representative Steve Scalise, this chilling rise in violence has targeted public officials across the political spectrum.

    Sadly, this is not a new phenomenon. We all remember the assassinations of President Kennedy, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Senator Robert F. Kennedy, John Lennon, and Medgar Evers, and the attempted assassinations of President Ronald Reagan and Alabama Governor George Wallace.

    Kinda sounds like this has been a problem in the US for decades. Maybe the government should look into that.

    But bottom line, if we honestly believe in democracy, if we believe in freedom, all of us must be loud and clear: Political violence, regardless of ideology, is not the answer and must be condemned. Thank you very much.

    Ah, that should solve it! Well done, Bernie!

  • Because petitions do nothing? Name literally a single petition from this website that has caused a law change.

  • Approximately 5.5 liters

  • I wonder what shows are the most popular

  • While everyone else was running away, this man was brave enough to run in (and steal the merch).

  • Out on the road today, I saw a Deadhead sticker on a Cadillac

  • They shouldn't be allowed to feel safe going to work until kids feel safe going to school.

  • Being fired from your job over things you said has nothing to do with the right to free speech. That right means the government won't punish you. It does not stop anyone else from punishing you.

  • Shhh

  • I think that's the exact point. Conservatives are fine with mass deportations, until it's them. They're fine with protestors being run over, until it's them. They're fine with denying people abortions, until it's them. They're fine with a few people being shot dead, until it's them.

    It's why conservative commentators talk so much about how empathy is bad. If you were empathetic you'd know that, if you wouldn't be alright with it happening to you, it's not alright for it to happen to others.

  • It's honestly crazy that we saw the US do this literally months ago with Trump and Harris and somehow no lesson was learned.

  • It's difficult to get parole for murder and even more difficult if you're a famous murderer. Newspapers write about every single parole hearing this guy has had for decades. There's no way he'd be able to be quietly paroled and go on to live a normal life.

  • Woah! Someone who liked the ending! You're too wholesome for a gaming community lol.

    I read one meta take on the ending that both sounded interesting and like cope. The end of Part II makes you feel exactly like Ellie feels. You push through because you want a conclusion to the story, just like Ellie. The end might be terrible, but it is an ending. In a meta way, you could get a better "ending" by stoping when Ellie and Dina are together at the farmhouse. You can stop playing, just like Ellie could stop obsessing over Abby, but how many people did that? Who would stop when the story isn't done?

    Personally, I think the writers made a bet that they could stretch "an eye for an eye leaves the world blind" into a novel.

  • Wait a sec, Minnasoda doesn't have a d??

  • War on drugs. War on terror. War on crime.

  • At least in the book the government has an explanation for it. "War is peace" because the local population is much more nationalistic and supportive of the incumbent government when fighting a war. Critics of the government can be declared traitors and enemy sympathizers and locked up without trial. People are also more accepting of rationing and lowering the standard of living in order to support the war effort. The war doesn't even need to be real. The government can just make up a war and get all the benefits that come from it.

  • Come on Ben! I just want to have a debate on gun control!

  • The US has something like 18 million military vets. There are a lot of people who have received professional training to hit a mid-range target.

  • Shooting Charlie Kirk? Celebration!Posting of photo of the shooting? Too far!
