Sitting state representatives and their families were shot and killed in their homes by someone impersonating a police officer…

Make sure we’re just pointing out the hypocrisy and lies, not advocating for more misuse of the national guard and federal agents than we already have.

“You ever notice how _____ people do [insert common, innocuous, rational behavior]…”

Yeah, but not due to photosynthesizing pigments, afaik. Only other pigmentation in the leaf. Though it may still be an adaptive benefit.

You might be thinking, well wouldn’t it it better to absorb green too? Why didn’t chlorophyll evolve to absorb all colors, making plants black? The answer is because evolution don’t give a damn about the best way to do things, only the good enough way. Chlorophyll developed by random chance, and blue-green algea (with chlorophyll) beat red algae (with phycoerythrin) to evolving into complex plant structures.

The “Christian” Right: When you only care about Leviticus, and only the parts that let you hate the gays, and you actively ignore EVERYTHING Christ said.

May his memory and legacy rot as quickly as his corpse.

They know, they don’t care, that’s why they cheat. They think they’re above democracy and have to subjugate the minority for their own good. Note: “their” in that last sentence can refer to either party, the majority or the cheaters.

There are things on the internet that are free and fine to use. VPNs are not one of them. They have ongoing hosting and bandwidth costs. They are not eating those costs without recouping them somehow.

Here’s the problem with your conclusion, who then decides who gets to vote? By what criteria? How much support would you need? How are you going to take the right away from people? Through violence? Even if there was popular support among some partition of people against everyone else voting, how big would these partitions have to be to be justified? If 20 percent thought the other 80 percent should be subject to their votes alone, is that cool?

Say, it wasnt that extreme… say 97 percent of people believe the other 3 shouldn’t vote. 100 percent of those in the 97 percent outside of some some group X or above some minimum attribute Y believe that those in X or those who are lesser than Y should not get to vote. Maybe those people are those with low IQs or those in some cult or those who have been convicted of crimes more than once, etc. The bigger group of people peacefully and democratically narrow democracy and now they hold dominion over the nonvoter for the good of all…

What then stops them from doing the same again and again? You likely think that you will still have power, be a part of the ruling class. But what stops the rest of the voters from doing the same to an arbitrary group that you belong to? What if they say that only land owners should vote? Only those who trace their ancestry back to founding members of rhe nation? Only those who meet a certain level of capitalistic investment in the economy? Only those who wish to preserve the existing culture and way of life? Only those who believe in defending that way of life through force? Only those who belong to a specific religion and belive it has be the model for the governance of the nation? Only those that support their one party leader? Only those who literally worship this leader as a god and hold his dynasty as divine? Each step can be fully justified and will have the precedent set that all they need is the consensus of those who would usurp power from those who would be excluded by the new rules in order to strip them of their vote and any other rights they see fit. The ruling class gets smaller and smaller and more like minded, power hungry, violent, and unconcerned with the welfare of the people.

You see how your position is pretty problematic and opens a giant can of worms of abuse and autocracy?

The internet has been a blight on democracy.

If your income is 9+ figures, the media comes to you to find out what you think about it.

Cool. Now release the Epstein Files.

Batman questions anyone and anything and has a plan for any eventuality, PARTICULARY those that pose a global scale threat. It’s nothing personal, it’s just reasonable precaution. That’s basically his true superpower. He also does trust Superman as a person, as a colleague and friend. I don’t think he ever considers there to be a true risk that Superman turns on humanity of his own will. However, Superman is susceptible to mind control, to magic, to unpredictable forms of kryptonite. And he is not the only living Kryptonian in existence either. It would be stupid not to plan for such threats.

Lex depending on the version, may or may not think that Superman actually poses a willful threat to humanity. But even if he also trusts that Superman is what he appears to be, a selfless hero that only wants to help people, he probably hates that idea even more. He usually doesn’t distrust Superman’s intent. He hates what it says about and does to human-kind, and by extension, himself. He things depending on an alien demigod will make humanity weak and complacent. He thinks that Superman holds the Earth back from reaching their potential. That it permanently neuters them from become Supermen themselves. So he makes it his mission to ruin Superman however he can. If he can kill him, good. Not a problem anymore. If he can publically discredit him, sow distrust across the globe, that’s good too, maybe better. People who distrust him won’t depend on him and may, in fact, fear him. As a result they are more likely to better themselves, their technology, their science, to rival and fight back against Superman.

TL:DR: Batman takes precautions. Lex hates and attempts to kill or sabotage. They’re not the same.

If you ever watched The Colbert Report back in the day, he played a version of himself as an extreme conservative. It was parody, but plenty on the right who only half paid attention though that he was being genuine. Trump is a moron and would totally have been one of them and wanted to hire the guy who said ridiculous shit on television.

If The Colbert Report were still on TV, Trump would have appointed him to Secretay of State.

Stuff removed, stuff added, everything pulled tight. It’s like taxidermy but for still alive vanity-obsessed women, and it often looks like it too.

A lot of Theo-Bros that want women to be chained to their husbands by outlawing no-cause divorce. Then they will redefine narrow rules for which causes are justifiable causes. They’re already trying to legalize child marriage. They’ve already made single living a poverty lifestyle for most. So they are happily coercing women into marriages and locking them in there because they know sane woman would not willingly partner with them for their whole lives, and getting rid of their choice is easier (for them) than being a person they would choose.

It sucks because I genuinely liked that show growing up, but Dean the person is antithetical to Superman the character
