You know, in Omelas they only abused one kid and it was implied that they were prospering because of it. Apparently one in four Americans are cool with abusing lots of kids and I'm not sure they're even going to break even here.

I sure hope OJ finds the real killer some day.

Word choice inserts opinions into facts. "Skepticism" implies that there's any legitimate disagreement on the subject.

But then, I'm a Flat Earth Denier.

Every single time throughout your entire life when someone told you to keep politics out of it, it was to avoid talking about someone's immoral positions. We got here by avoiding uncomfortable conversations.

There are children in school right now who have never lived on a planet in which Trump wasn't on the front page every day.

I just want him to stop being the main character. This is a shitty movie, I want a refund.

I think that a lot of people are assumed to be supporting horrible things out of honest ignorance when in truth they just don't actually mind horrible things, as long as they're being done to other people. In fact, a lot of them are even willing to make personal sacrifices to see others suffer.

I don't buy that he could focus on anything for six hours.

Literally the only difference is the mass executions, and since they won't let us look in their super secret prisons we don't actually know they're not doing that.

However bad it looks now, it's going to look worse in retrospect.

We will not be judged kindly by history.

It's only murder when women kill babies.

I think he's been pretty consistent.

If you aided and abetted him in molesting children, you're his best friend, a genius, some say the greatest ever.

If you've ever tried to stop him from molesting children, you're an enemy, mean and stinky, some say the worst in history.

It's funny because this is the first president who doesn't end every speech with "God bless the United States of America," which would get anyone else tarred as anti-Christian.

In the upside-down bible Jesus kills the poor.

He has always, inexplicably, gotten away with every last bit of bullshit he does, for his entire life. He's the one who's perfectly adapted for his deranged environment.

Kings don't have any power on their own. A throne was made, and this is just the ass currently sitting on it. Smash the throne.

At least the Taliban wouldn't have lied to his face about their plans to torture him to death in a dungeon.

How can anyone, anywhere, choose to work with the US government if this is what our promises are worth?

Trump isn't the first POTUS to be actively criminal. He's not even the third.

But every time they push it further and further because we didn't push back then. And now here we are.

And if we don't push back hard, if we don't drag the Overton Window back the other way, next time will be even worse.

Are we really gonna pretend like Nixon and Reagan didn't cross the line? Or that the things Dubya did were excusable?

Maybe, if someone continuously, over a period of decades, makes it known that the people they think will best represent their interests are monsters...

Maybe there's no interpretation of their preferences that preserves their dignity.

HELP I AM TRAPPED IN A WARNING LABEL FACTORY

They feel free to change their story because:

a) Goldfish voters won't remember the last thing they said, and

b) Their base doesn't actually care about facts. Talk is just mouth noises, and by taking their bullshit rationalizations seriously you're falling for their rhetorical trap.

Freedom isn't free, but this down payment wasn't a bill for freedom and it wasn't paid by the guy chiding us for wanting us to be free.

Murders aren't free either. We charge for those.

Yes, I remember back in 2000 when SCOTUS made a blatantly partisan ruling on the election.

Wasn't there for Nixon getting to walk away.

The frog has been boiling for a long time.

>Corolla-sized
>Americans will do anything to avoid using metric
>It's not even an American car

Why "one day?" Why not today? We have mechanisms for removing criminals from office. Why aren't they being used?

What will be different "one day" that isn't true today? Why is later a better time than now?

Why do we need to give him another chance to turn things around after five years in office?

You shouldn't tax billionaires because you need the money.

You should tax billionaires because they do not need the money.

"Donald Trump does not molest children" is not a position that anyone can rationally hold. He's been caught in 4K, he's bragged about doing it, everyone knows he did it.

When people deny it happened, what they mean is: "It happened, but I'm okay with that."

So, hey, what do you suppose a violent gang of sociopath incels who break legs for a notorious child molester are doing with totally unsupervised custody of thousands of undocumented children?

History will not judge us kindly.

Are criminals and foreign agents infiltrating the highest levels of government less of a problem if no one knows about it?

The reason most people haven't been hearing as much about it is that corporate media are all owned by the ultra-wealthy, who are in the tank for their fellow billionaire.

Remember that eroding trust in institutions, democracy, and honesty is the plan. By blatantly rigging the system, he gives himself and everyone else justification to disregard the system whenever it's inconvenient. If he needs the system? People who believe in the system will do the work for him.

It's too bad we don't live in a democracy.

A very simple question is being posed to humanity, with a very simple answer:

Can the powerful do whatever they want, or do the rest of us have rights?

That there's any debate over this whatsoever is deranged and evil.
