"A great American city is on the precipice of being run by a communist who has publicly embraced a terroristic ideology,”

I'd love for reporters to start pushing politicians when they say dumb shit. Don't just let them say it and then gawk at the camera like you're Jim from the office or move on with questions.

"in what way are you concluding that Mr. Mamdani is a communist? Are you aware of the difference between communism and socialism, and could you explain how he is a communist?"

"what terrorist ideology? waits for answer In what way is this the ideology of a terrorist?"

Show that they have no idea what the words they spew mean. Show that they're just using buzzwords that sound scary.

And then give the facts.

I used to work in a warehouse that made a HUGE deal about the employees using the proper recycling bin so the company can get a nice check from somewhere or other for "going green"

This warehouse recieved thousands of pallets every day.

Each pallet is wrapped with hundreds of square feet of plastic wrap.

Each box is individually wrapped with maybe 10ftsq-50 depending on size.

Each box contains goods in plastic bags. Many of them with plastic clamshell packaging.

The products get unwrapped, and placed in larger boxes on shelves.

When the items get distributed to stores, the items were put in plastic bags, boxed up and wrapped in plastic wrap, boxes placed on pallets that were automatically wrapped by machines in hundreds of square feet of plastic.

None of the plastic from the warehouse floor is separated from the general waste.

Remember, it's your responsibility to reduce waste.

38 digits of pi can get the circumference of the visible universe to within a single hydrogen atom.

10 digits gets the diameter of the earth to within an inch.

Read the story and be pissed by how any news outlet phrases it in any way other than "this man was murdered in a pre-meditated manner after prolonged harassment from psychotic neighbors who previously murdered their dog"

Rorschach was right about one thing, people like this shouldn't get to go to jail. Rabid Animals get put down.

Fight fire with napalm.

Works every time.

"Oklahoma AG Condones Elder Abuse, Police Brutality"

Fixed the headline

"I deserve to exist"

"wow, why did you have to make things political"

A statement dreamt up by the utterly deranged.

This implies it's falling on its own.

There should be a mass of red hats trying to push it over.

My first thought was "So we call 'following the law' a loophole now?"

If the law meant a fucking thing, he would have been in prison decades ago.

Here's the one that convinced my dad that connecting everything is bad:

Your smart fridge knows what's inside and knows you just added a 12 pack of soda and donuts to the shopping list. They sell that data to a bunch of companies, including your insurance company. They know you have diabetes.

Your insurance rates just went up for the fifth time this year because your insurance company knows what you're eating.

And it's a good thing you don't drink beer or your car insurance would have gone up 'due to increased risk factors.' too bad you wanted to buy a new car this year.

Not only can you not afford it now, the price went up because they know you want a car. I'm sure they would make a payment deal with you though.

And every company will know all about the deal, the beer, the donuts, and all it took was sending money to whatever company had the information, and they were more than happy to sell it.

The more we allow companies to freely operate like this without regulation and without proper punishment for breaking the rules, we will continue sliding toward the hellscape of Ferenginar. For the non trekkies, it's a hyper-capitalist species of profit-driven assholes.

Nationalist Christians?

Hmm.... We should come up with a word for that.

How about Nat-Cs?

They wear their title proudly. Openly admit it in the streets.

And yet for some reason, are allowed to continue to operate freely.

Our country goes to war for less.

Edit: A friend of mine got this shoved in their mailbox today

Totally not domestic terrorists...
