remember the Rick Moranis-looking chud who singlehandedly assaulted a Dallas federal building and got perforated without firing a single round? That guy kicked rear end too.

I think a lot of people don't know this and just think it's fun, kind of like the whole zombie trend of the naughts when a lot of the randos who watch walking dead didn't know a lot of the discussion was actually coded for a race war

yeah, for a lot of folks I give it the benefit of a doubt. I've seen some friends post it before and I know they're not not expressing those views. the zombie prep trend is a good comparator and more relatable and I'll try to keep that in mind as an explainer

let's take a tally of the deaths yesterday

1) military servicemember who committed insurrection: executed by gunfire
2) policeman killed by a fire extinguisher to the head: had trump's 757 as his twitter profile banner
3) woman carrying "don't tread on me" flag: trampled to death
4) man who posted picture of himself with machine guns daring anyone to attack: accidentally tazed himself until he died

what incredible irony is there gonna be for person #5

I wonder if 2 was because they had presidential detail or something but it's still ironic

Thing is, people need to understand that laws are meaningful, and respected and followed.

Letting a rich white dude evade punishment entirely pushes the whole system over.

nah.

if you disagree with the president you aren't gonna put stuff supporting him on your personal twitter page, even if getting assigned to his detail (or whatever) was a big career deal

and even then you'd probably put the presidential seal or something, not trump's 757

this cop was a diehard trump fan, the kind who without an ounce of self-awareness lowers the american flag to raise the trump one in its place

if that were a point is was possible to reach, it would have been reached. it isn't and you will see people in actual clown costumes and big red noses sitting in the chambers and having a vote in the workings of the nation

i was reading some r/conservative and the prevailing opinion was that the gop is dead and they’d never vote for them unless they were the least bad choice and so its also reasonable to think that the reason the gop doesn’t die is because hatred for the left is a much more powerful vote choice maker than giving a
poo poo about anything else at all

Pittsburgh Fentanyl Cloud posted:

Like, if you go to conservative social media they will tell you that they don't consider people who aren't like them American or even human, that the president has no obligation to represent fake America, and that they want to see everyone not like them removed or genocided. They don't hide it.

That's why bringing up uneven violence against wednesday's insurrection compared to violence against BLM is pointless. They'll agree that BLM protestors were treated more harshly and they'll tell you it's necessary to keep violent animals in line.

not really, no. the vp's residence is in the naval observatory, and his office is in the eisenhower administration building (next door to the white house). the vp would typically spend most working hours there

he does in fact, but it's on the grounds in another building because it's a huge telescope, like 25 feet or so

the vp house is nice too, and unlike the white house it's not this huge palatial compound

it's the same building, but the president's private residence is adjacent to the west wing, the executive residence - it's the same building but basically a separate area. it's not that obvious from photos of the white house, and partly due to landscaping around it but the white house is huge, it's well over 50k square feet. there is a small bowling alley in the basement
