If their proof of citizenship is their ID, remind them that people make their entire living off selling fake or altered ID cards.

Sorry, your drivers license isn't good enough, you're going to the concentration camps.

"hits harder than trumps tariffs" is a phrase I'm really getting sick of.

My wife watches shorts all the time and I keep hearing people saying that in them.

There's a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people.

I'm just gonna keep posting this any time I see the military acting as a police force.

If an aussie can make cubane in his shed in the backyard, I'm sure a bunch of nerds working together can get this done in 3 days.

It's weird that a guntuber is where I saw this posted first... Granted he's very clearly left if you watch some of his videos.

And he just posted a data security video the other day about how DOGE and Palantir are working together.

It's simple.

Just change the entire way elections are run from the ground up, and then you'll have all the options you need!

Oh, how do you go about actually changing elections?

Don't worry about that, it'll be sorted..... somehow..... Just keep voting third part and it'll all magically work out!

You know, assuming we still have elections in 2028, and assuming potential elections aren't one of those "vote for the correct candidate or off to the gulags for you" kind of elections and opposition is only allowed to run because the votes don't matter.

Something something both parties.

/s, since we live in the age where most of that could be said in complete seriousness.

They probably didn’t even read beyond the title.

I was convinced a long time ago that none of them read a single fucking thing that comes across their desk unless it involves money.

They read the titles of things, form an opinion based on the title, and vote whichever way their party leaders tell them to.

The ones that vote differently I figure either know it won't make a difference, they have some way of benefiting from the opposite outcome, or least likely, they genuinely believe their constituents will receive the greatest benefit from voting another way.

And they make it super obvious with some of the names that they want people to stop reading at the title and don't bother looking any deeper.

I'm just waiting for protests to be labeled "insurrection"
