It’s like when Jordan Klepper was interviewing Trump supporters. There was one interview where he was talking to a woman who insisted Trump was innocent of intimidating witnesses, and when he pulled solid logic to show he was guilty, she responded “I don’t care”.

I know, it’s been so obvious to me that Epstein was a distraction, and the stuff on top of that was a distraction from the distraction.

Nothing will come of the Epstein list just like nothing came from the Panama papers, and ultimately Trump will die one day, but the damage he’s done to our institutions will stay. Him being a pedophile won’t change any of that.

Basically I put news in 2 categories:

1. Actual impactful policy
2. Keeping up with the Kardashians

Epstein is category 2 for all I’m concerned. Nothing will happen to Trump. At worst he doesn’t serve a 3rd term, which is fine, but his base isn’t going to just embrace democracy after this.

Yea like excuse me? I had my ass beat in 2020, I’ve been protesting here in Chi, and my community has been fucking up ICE. Look what their head said about Chicago. He hates us. Because we don’t fuck with ICE the way New York just let them stroll right in.

Sit down, Americans aren’t as lazy as you think we are. We arrested our governor and we’ll bring that to the white house.

Y’all-qaeda is going to have to get through us northerners first, and there are some of us who have been preparing . 🔫🫡

I for one am not going to let my country’s army take a meter of my extended family’s homeland as long as I’m above ground. Also good luck on suppressing and insurgency in Chicago before heading north.

IF I WENT TO HOGWARTS I WOULD USE PHYSICAL VIOLENCE

NO MAGIC SPELLS ARE GONNA WORK ON ME

I’D BE SNAPPING SOME WANDS SUPLEXING THE GOBLINS

POLYJUICE POTION?

NAH IM DRINKING CREATINE.

WENGARDIUM LEVIOSA?

HOW BOUT YOU SHUT THE HELL UP.

AVADA KEDAVRA?

AVADA THESE NUTS.

More of a huge moment of reflection. I wrote a song that night.

were they cruel

were they kind

were they the best years you could find?

Did the guilt

make you collapse

did your heart turn into glass?

Did you stop press play rewind

at the end of 29?

Does the “other” category really just mean blimps? Because I hope it means blimps.

Just saw the recent south park episode- absolutely killed. Poor Cartman is nothing withoutout the woke 😢

I mean Lemmy has been growing. Think of it as anarchist reddit- no CEO, no ads, no data collected.

I’m only back on reddit because I like to be evangelical from time to time, and I used to mod r/mapporncirclejerk so I like to pop by and say hi.

Edit: I forgot I was on Lemmy lol

I guess I wish we had a Swiss model of gun ownership. Everyone is mandated to have a firearm, but they are all kept in local safehouses. That said the purpose for that is to keep them neutral in war rather than have a force that can fight their own government.

I would like to see a balance of not crazy gun nuts owning guns, and especially when I get worried about a civil war, I would like to know when the proud boys march into my community to shoot us that we could shoot back.

At some point, picket signs just don’t match an AR-15.

Also thank you for being kind!

Where do you think all those red balloons come from?

Sounds like a “No True Scott” situation pal

Idk I don’t think there are MAGA assholes in the queer militia.

I mean I’ve been listed as in remission for the past 5 years so something is going right

Awww c’mon, you don’t wanna torture motorists? Y’all don’t have a sense of whimsey and bloodlust.

Well we better get fucking started on making our own.

Once again - operation blazing sword and the pink pistols are leftists, LGBTQ, and BIPOC defense focused groups.

There is nothing that says we can’t create our own militia, in fact there is something that says we can called the 2nd amendment.

Also check your states laws for firearm ownership. I was diagnosed bipolar after being involuntarily hospitalized in 2015 in Spokane- according to Washington State law, I have a lifetime ban on owning a firearm, however I moved to Chicago where the ban is only 5 years long.

Many of us are disabled in some way, so the state may disenfranchise us for better or for worse, but I think it’s important we can defend ourselves.

It’s sad- 10 years ago I’d be fine with a firearm ban, but the world changed. Its time we focus on community safety, and especially for us who don’t wear red hats.

Also the youth vote usually doesn’t support the incumbent as kids kinda like to rebel.
