Frankly, I’m disgusted with the state of this country and a large chunk of the people within. Media companies are owned by fucking billionaires and just parrot whatever distractions are convenient for the moment with absolutely zero oversight (thank Reagan for going after the Fairness Doctrine, that fucking twat).

And the biggest problem? It works. It works really well. Only when a foreign news article makes it stateside does the gravity of the situation really present itself, but naturally it’s dismissed as “propaganda” by these right wing fuckwits.

How many times are they going to keep hyping this thing with the same headlines every couple months?

I run install teams from Japan on occasion. I wouldn’t blame them for not wanting to return either.

the retribution that South Korea will provide will be delicious to watch.

American here. I agree wholeheartedly.

I hate to say it, but I think your conversational partner might be right.

Just gonna scoot by here and…oops, dropped the publicly accessible mod logs

Yep, 100%. The entire Smith family were well-known con artists.

Cox is a fucking clown, a shameful excuse of a governor.

I grew up here, in the Mormon church, too (out for several years now). These are not the principles I was taught. This goes against every single thing that Jesus taught.

Some Mormons take it to the extreme.

See the Lafferty brothers.

Utah will never go blue again. It’s horridly gerrymandered here.

Much more than $100B. At least double.

Calvin Klein is still alive.

Wait, really?

Yes, but brown people bad

I’ve heard this before, but I don’t remember where: Trump will nuke someone before he ever admits he fucked kids.

Unless there’s something about Trump that leads you to believe he won’t take full advantage of the situation?

Oh he will, that’s for certain.

Utah County is a very red area in the middle of a very red Utah state, and it happened at a right-leaning college.

It would be a very bad look if Trump sent troops in because “bad man with gun”. Or it might be a wakeup call for the few dipshits still flying a Trump flag.

Either way, it’s a complicated aituation.

This is what happens when violent and hateful rhetoric is allowed to be aired freely under the guise of “good Christian values”, while voices calling for checks notes being nice to other people are silenced. We all know that sowing division absolutely rakes in the profits, so do the math on who benefits from that.

This is not a right or left issue. This is the tolerant refusing to tolerate the intolerant after nothing else has worked.

Good riddance!

He’s literally called for attacks on trans people as well as other marginalized groups.

Genuinely asking so I don’t have to wade through a cesspool… Do you have some sources I can scour through?

I’ve never wished for a man’s death, but I’ve read some obituaries with great pleasure… Or something like that.
