getting a Mitch COnnell to stand for 15 minutes would have already made a difference.

They couldn’t care less about being called hypocrites. In fact, they weaponize it to guilt others into following rules they don’t care about.

Thank you!

“Soros and far left liberals poured millions into Louisiana with propaganda and outright lies about Amendment 2,” Landry said.

Besides being horseshit, these assholes hadn’t realized how the goal posts had moved. Soros would have to literally offer millions of dollars for votes to be comparable to present-day musky conservative business.

weaponized hypocrisy

If empathy’s a weakness then Karma is a bitch

Can’t wait to see his reaction when robotaxis will get Wile E. Coyoted.

“Orbiting vintage space equipment “

Dr Shafiq’s case was a great example of how one should (not) to deal with MAGA. She literally did everything the GOP demanded of her. Then Mike Johnson still went on to demand her resignation. She called cops on students (HUGE mistake), fueled the flames of nationwide protests… Yet she ended up resigning. In contrast Dr Claudine Gay did not budge so she was academically assassinated and then they made her resign. UPenn’s president Dr Liz Magill was pressured to resign too. Which is telling how the free speech absolutist party suddenly uniformly got 3 ivy league university presidents resign/removed regardless of them doing what was demanded or not.

And this is what will lead to the demise of trumpism: they make resistance way more worthwhile than compliance.

that might be canceled out by drops in foreign weapons orders given the new mistrust (see Portugal canceling their F-35 orders).

I read Schmuck Chumer for a second

To be clear, I don’t know you, and there’s nothing personal intended in my remark. I do know this learned helplessness, however. It’s just weird that the same Americans who shockingly often expect me to cure death (literally) suddenly behave like NPC’s bouncing off a wall when it comes to lowering gun deaths.

Please let me reassure you, thats inaccurate…

What’s inaccurate? I made like 5 statements.

1. Guns kill more school-aged kids than motor vehicle accidents and cancer (i had to recreate the stats from the CDC wonder database myself excluding anybody over 18 because schmucks kept on complaining about the NEJM article including 19-year-olds, which apparently invalidated the data, except that it didn’t)

2. Gun suicides are mostly committed using firearms from friends and relatives.

3. If you look at UK’s homicide stats and the US’s (BJS) homicide stats you can tell that actually the homicide rate difference is driven by firearms.

4. It’s a fact that it is much harder to kill someone including oneself without a gun.

5. States that have gun storage laws have lower firearm mortality in kids.

6. Blablabla on your trust me because I did some research. I’m in academia and published half a dozen (non-gun) epidemiology papers to date as a side hustle so I do know how to use the CDC databases. I’ve been forced to dive into the gun violence data because I’m really fed up with all the disinformation.

7. What I have seen no supportive evidence for to date is “that training professionals to identify perpetrators” (“hardening schools?”) has any effect on school shootings.

Now let’s see your papers.

and most people who think they are hard asses aren’t hard asses either. the country isn’t collapsing either. it’s just relinquishing its role of being the leading superpower and establishing techfeudalism.

so far, said weaponry’s main achievements are higher murder rates than anywhere in the west (interestingly, if you remove guns homicides, it evens out), and killing kids at a higher rate than cancer.

^OP, here’s the answer to your question

(Intellectual laziness and uncritical acceptance of propaganda).

School shootings are often carried out by juveniles who can’t lawfully get a gun.

Cut this crap, this isn’t reddit. Most kids them get the guns from a relative or friend who obtained it legally and adequate storage laws reduce both suicides and homicides in kids. BTW, guns kill more kids now than cancer or car accidents, but only in the US. Your take is the best example of americans being unconcerned about preventable deaths.

This is actually a good thing. Now tesla isn’t only attached to musk but to MAGA and trump too. It ensures that these vehicles will become the literal object of people’s anger. It’s sorta similar to people getting riled up over the price of eggs, but here, it’s seeing a tesla will remind people of their anger and with this new MAGA badge on this car, this anger won’t dissipate even after musk is thrown under the bus (because that’s the plan).

Make Teslas Uninsurable

Never thought trumpy would launch the transbrander movement.

Yeah, that will happen because someone will have to buy up the devaluing used Tesla stock for cheap. My schadenfreude comes from thinking about how surprised they will be when they realize their insurance premiums are up.
