Try to expand your stance then. When I mention I’m against the death penalty, I usually preface it with something like “there are absolutely people in the world that deserve to die and the world would be a better place with them gone”. For me a lot of the problem comes from trusting the system which has gotten things horrifically wrong in the past. So you can acknowledge that someone actually guilty of certain crimes should die.

Aaaaaaaaaand it’s gone.

Truth is the Ford Pinto was kind of hard targeted. They were roughly on par with similar vehicles at the time, certainly not the worst offender. Very similar to how tesla is being targeted.

^bet anyone that downvotes won’t even do a bare minimum Wikipedia read of the Pinto issue^

I’d agree, but libs aren’t constantly thumping their chest that their choice is the infallible god-king of wealth and economics and can do no wrong. Also I feel if this happened under a dem president the news would cover it and would include deeper information about why. That being said, I’d predict that when the next dem president is voted in and this needs to be addressed, we’ll get much more information about why it matters.

And this is something the MAGAts lack the fundamental capacity to begin to understand. Right wing propaganda doesn’t even need to address this and spin it to a positive for trump because it would simply confuse their peons.

He can insert whatever he wants if he’s leaving me a portion of his fortune.

Don’t forget Ukraine and Russia. That’s why it’s more FFA.

Pretty sure this is WW3. Just more like FFA rather than teams.

Pretty sure there’s XX AMAB as well. But what are they going to do with XXY or XYY?

Oh the outcry is international now? Surely this will put an end to all these issues.

Thanks for the extra info. So not chalking it up to “failure” in such a short time should maybe be chalked up to failure in such a “short time”.

Reminds me of times during the height of covid when the antivax nutter I know on Facebook would rant about some article showing “the vax not working” or whatever bullshit. His propaganda outlets of choice would seemingly sift through monthly data by country and if one country failed to report one period or reported two periods in one they’d cry foul and point to just those numbers.

I’d be interested in more long term effects. Are these increased police killings actually getting to people that might have murdered in the future? If that was the goal I’d have predicted an increase in police killings like this is showing. Then both numbers would start to drop at a rate faster than they had been.

Not that I’m condoning the practice, I just wouldn’t chalk it up to a “failure” after such a short time.

Look man. If my favorite football team sucks and makes shitty deals for players and has a losing record, I’m still going over the top saying they’re gonna beat our main rivals and are the best ever. Hell I don’t even need to understand why they suck or what they could even do to get better. They’re my team! I can’t let you talk shit about them.

I need to see this play out like a heist movie. Two opposing advisors are battling each other to get their idea in his head for the big speech. They get into some zany hijinks trying to be the last to speak to him. Some real spy vs spy stuff.

Ever see a really well trained dog where all you have to do is tap the spot beside you and they bound over to you and dutifully sit in that spot?

Homophobic? I thought she was just anti-trans.

Either way, I’m very curious how the LGBT community views a wholly trans-phobic shit stain that simultaneously claims to support the gay community. I know just such a person and would like some insight from the community itself.

This one will use even stronger words!

They care a lot about not admitting they are wrong, no matter what though.

He’d probably be stupid enough to use auto-pen.

Foreign leaders need to stop responding as if a serious response will have any effect. They need to throw that shit back in his face. Tell him you’ll accept, only if he discards the shithole states. Then list red states. Or tell him if he can find Greenland on the map, you’ll consider it. Or direct the message at blue states and welcoming them if they decide to secede.
