Okay I'm starting to really believe that trump was a puppet carefully managed since the 2016 election that slowly fell apart as he actually got power and became president and fired literally everyone who didn't lick his boots. Seriously almost forgot how almost all of the news for like a year was like, some tweets and trump fires someone or attacks them (the latter never stops) I digress

He is so clearly floundering for the first time. This fucker has never had bad press until now. He isn't different or anything, just suddenly some people are realizing and agree the emperor isn't wearing clothes. That cost him so much powerful support. I speculate the evangical Republicans, who are still a major contribution to conservative politics today, are withdrawing their resources and efforts this election cycle to regroup and plan how to handle the next 2 years to the best of their advantage.

If they abolish no fault divorce it WILL cost lives

That is the bottom fucking line. There is no argument against divorce that exists that can prevent that. Wait no there is, oh golly they will make exceptions for abuse. That sure fucking sounds familiar. Hmm like maybe it was the concession 'pro-life' would make for abortion.

And look how that turned out.

Before roe v wade was overturned they were all about protecting the abused, somewhat, with caveats. Kinda like they are talking about divorce here innit?

Since when is it leftist to support the death penalty, let alone take glee in it. This is like the boomer FB shit

One of top posts here is selective as fuxk quoting only the president's backpedalling after their official initi statement being the fear of retaliation. I'm getting way too annoyed watching the upvotes (aka misinformation) grow just because this asshat added a quote.

Oh by the way, sunderman.- the president - coached one of the boy teams that played against the girls team. And they are trying to say it took time to realize, to justify why they were allowed to play up until the championships. FFS this is garbage sportmanship

Why are they so jokey about it? Ripping phones off the wall because you're disappointed in dinner is not healthy normal behavior, but it is also not NEW behavior. I'm disappointed. just because the food in question allows for more humor doesn't make that situation any less terrifying or traumatic for the wife of daughter. And that would have been their daily lives. I know we are laughing at him but it also diminishes how awful he is. Within a few days, few people, few copycat articles and eventually the only thing many will remember is the joke "haha he got upset when his grilled cheese was too cheesy!!" It'll be like the hot coffee lawsuit

And this man is given a platform. And you know what is terrifying? They don't give a fuck. There is no way fox didn't know, and they weren't scared of any real blowback. Because reality is people dont care enough about abuse for it to be a problem.

Or sheets you can cut to size that are just gibberish to cover up your actual tattoo (or lack of one) like

Dude it's plainly obvious, at least in my lived experience trying to reach 40. The Republicans I know who "became" republican all either

  1. Moved up in class (perceived or real)
  2. Became religious
  3. Legitimately has a mental illness

I am not saying this as a dig, and I am not saying all Republicans etc etc just the people who weren't and then CHANGED THEIR MIND.

It's wild to me how America, UK, and Canada are dealing with these idiotic right wing extremists or fans. It did not go well in the states, is still not going well, but people in other countries are all agreeing that yeah now is the time to be loud, racist, shitholes who make life worse for everyone with their stupidity????? What the fuuuck

Both officers, who have not been identified, were in the parking lot for an unrelated call.

Footage shows officers attempting to question her for alleged shoplifting.

So they are there for something completely unrelated. Then just decide to question pregnant woman about shoplifting and fucking shoot her???? That's not even why you're there!!! What the fuck happened and I'm sorry stolen property, especially corporate property, should not warrant taking a life.

Oh wait sorry but SA survivors, even children, can't have an abortion, and they are willing to take doctors to court for it. Because life is precious. Until it's taken by a cop.

Hi people that think maybe the headline gives enough info and it isn't necessary to read the article! read the article!!! It's so so so much worse than I anticipated.

three sheriff’s deputies in Rankin County, Mississippi, received a group text message from another deputy on the same shift: “Are y’all available for a mission?”

The deputy, Christian Dedmon, informed his colleagues Hunter Elward, Jeffrey Middleton and Daniel Opdyke they were going to a property in Braxton, roughly 30 miles south of Jackson, to handle a complaint received by the office’s chief investigator, Brett McAlpin. The details of what prosecutors say happened that night were shared in a federal charging document.

McAlpin’s White neighbor had told him several Black men were staying at a White woman’s home there and reported seeing suspicious behavior.

And then...

Over the next two hours, Parker and Jenkins were subjected to grueling violence at the hands of the six White law enforcement officers, culminating in Jenkins being shot in the mouth.

AND THERE IS STILL MORE TO READ! and I skipped other horrible shit like how they were told to behave in front of cameras and "no bad mugshots" I haven't even finished the article, what I've read so far is bad enough I have to send this now. Before other details send me into incoherent

ETA: it's disgusting. I'm so done. This is worse than I ever imagined and tbh anyone who has commented so far I'm not sure they even read it because it is so so clear these officers were having a great time, with a group chat name and slapping them with dildos and oh it is SO SO SO blatantly racist

The officers then hauled the two men into the living room where all six men spewed racial slurs at them and accused them of taking advantage of the White woman who owned the house. They warned them to stay out of Rankin County and go back to “their side” of the Pearl River

AND IM STILL NOT DONE. I can't finish this tonight. It is too horrible.
