He does know it. He uses it on purpose and then feigns ignorance.

If the news started telling us why, we would be able to form our own opinions on the information it provides. The ‘why’ has been a thing of the past for decades.

An honest response I’ve gotten when I ask why someone needs a big car.

What?

Also because so many Republicans are running on a platform of Pres. Biden being complicit in his son’s shady business dealings. As the evidence on that has gotten thinner and thinner, they are clinging to the gun charge to retain credibility with their voter base. They are trying to say “See?! He is a criminal just like we said, therefore we were right and the president is trying to protect him. That means he’s should be impeached, just like they impeached Trump!”

Authoritarians gonna authoritate.

That becuase that law was aimed at antifa and rioters, people DeSantis doesn’t like, not his voter base.

No no, it’s not “trolling,” they call it alternative debating!

A sad bunch, the lot of them.

People who don’t want to solve the problem, they just want their turn on top.

I’ve noticed that too. The compartmentalized nature of Reddit only exists becuase of the size of the communities. I’ve seen lot of people copying subreddits and also filling them with links to the top posts on that subreddit, meanwhile they are getting no comments or engagement. Lemmy should not act as a mirror hosting website for Reddit.

Next they will announce that they are suing Disney because he watched the History Channel, and that had violence on it which contributed to his actions.

Many people don’t realize that the first colonies were founded by Christians that believed the churches in their home county were not being authoritarian enough. The wanted religious freedom, sure, but they wanted the freedom to be theocratic like you said.

Trump didn’t transform shit

Picking and choosing what parts of the Bible they want to follow is nearly as old as the religion itself. The first council of Nicea was the first large attempt for Christianity to define itself and create a canon. That happened in 325 AD. Even if we talk only about protestants, denominations are all about what parts of the bible they follow and how they translate the word to doctrine.

To attribute it to one man is so disingenuous. Christians have been interpreting the Bible in whatever way suits them best for over a millenia.

The FBI serves the government, not the people. Reporting things to the FBI as a citizen only works if what you are reporting aligns with the current goals of the FBI. If the government is ok with what Twitter/X is doing, the FBI doesn’t give a shit. Behold the highly effective bribery lobbying system.

Been using lemmy for a few days and I am already feeling the need to do just that.

The snoot droops!

I REPEAT THE SNOOT DOES DROOP!

As a Floridian, please don’t come. We make most of our money off of tourism, hospitality, and healthcare services. Go somewhere else, let this state die.

I think he is trying to conflate the 6 year old bragging about shooting people with Kyle Rittenhouse “bragging” about overcoming an attempted character assassination, criminal charges, and successfully defending himself from those who intended to cause death or great bodily harm.

I belive he thinks Kyle Rittenhouse “bragging” about shooting (lawful self-defense) people is the same as the 6 year old bragging about shooting (attempted murder) his teacher.

It’s probably a case of her thinking she can not defend herself out of fear of backlash. Teachers have been charged with assault when defending themselves from students.

I just got here 2 days ago because of Sync. More will come.
