Good to see she keeps it real like dat.

I liked messing with the truck drivers with the cb radio in my parents van

My dad had the CB for that trip and many others. He worked in insurance as a fire/arson investigator so his handle was "Ashkicker". :lol:

I feel like you could count on one hand the number of professional teams that didn't have turquoise in their logo at one point in the 1990s :lol:

ETA: This is a joke, but the point is that, damn, a ton of teams (and every expansion team during that time) had turquoise in their colors.

Yep .

They’ve earned that right ……. I might think theyre full of dog shite, but id sit there and listen.. hell, i might even learn something about how some kid could be “indoctrinated” with hateful, narrow-minded thoughts like that .

Wait, I thought words were "literal violence", if the people hearing them don't like them :dunno:

Countless conservative speakers have gotten harassed, jeered, booed off stage, and even murdered for espousing their opinions on things at universities across the US..

Well you are certainly superior to me in human anatomy. I failed to remember there are no blood vessels in the lung and especially none that are major and would have the actual word "pulmonary" in them.

And don’t forget, no voice to say “he stabbed me multiple times” or hands to point to the wounds.

Sikh's are not Muslims.

How about “I don’t want either of them”?

The Sikh knife, known as a Kirpan (Punjabi: ??????), is a sacred article of faith that initiated (Amritdhari) Sikhs are required to wear at all times

How is that possible when the UK has banned such knives?

Well... except for all the Muslim "leaders" that are expressly stating their desire to impose Sharia law in the USA, there's certainly no proof.

It is absolutely wild just how blatantly stupid and incompetent she is, and the fact that she will very likely win again...when the effects of her "leadership" are everywhere around LA. Those people are insane.

They are combining virtue signaling and power maintenance by publicly reinforcing their general moral/philosophical framework (defense of democracy) while simultaneously being textbook authoritarianists.

Well said.

That's been the talking point over the past two years or so, which their base (not at all surprisingly) will parrot at every opportunity. I'm sure many are wondering just how they're "protecting democracy", so I thought I'd start a list.

For reference, this is how AI defines democracy:

quote:

---

Key characteristics of democracy include:

Citizen Participation: Active involvement of citizens in political and civic life.

Free and Fair Elections: Regular, competitive, and transparent elections with universal suffrage.

Rule of Law: Laws and procedures apply equally to all citizens, including leaders.

Human Rights: Protection of fundamental freedoms such as freedom of speech, assembly, and expression.

Accountability: Mechanisms for transparency and oversight, ensuring government acts on behalf of the public

In very recent history the left has:
- Used lawfare to attempt to jail or disqualify a political threat and rival
- Attempted to get their rival actually removed from the ballot in multiple states (Colorado, Michigan, Maine) so that it was not even an option to vote for him
- Forced out an elected president who wanted to run for re-election
- Installed a replacement presidential candidate handpicked by the party elite, a candidate who never received a single vote via primary
- Refuses to institute or support voter ID measures in every instance
- Refuses to turn over voter rolls for verification that only US citizens are voting in elections
- Refuses to remove dead people from the voter rolls (Minnesota)
- Created a short-lived Office of Misinformation to distribute propaganda (right out of 1984 and the Ministry of Truth)
- Works directly with the majority of mainstream media to influence the narrative, stories being covered, and tone of coverage being provided to the US public
- Worked directly with social media platforms to censor (delete or throttle views on) individual people and posts that they did not want out there
- Opposes any transparency with regards to instances of fraud, waste, or abuse, including any election fraud (widespread, but also California...attempting to make it illegal for certain journalists to investigate fraud)
- Is in favor of continuing to count illegals in the US census, reducing the value of US citizens votes for things like congressional apportionment
- Has attempted 3x to assassinate the president who won both the popular vote and the electoral college
- Consistently shouts down, bans, prevents, or murders those with opposing views who visit their campus
- Advocates for the presidential election to do away with the electoral college and use the national popular vote
- Has lead the way in gerrymandering states to ensure disproportionate representation for their party
- They try to change election rules the second they may work in favor of their opponents (California, governor's race)
- Consider lowering the mandatory retirement age for a state supreme court (Virginia) to be able to force out opposition judges and reshape the court

So, ladies and gentleman, THAT is how today's left is "protecting democracy". If you don't support their efforts you are a fascist.

Also, I was just working off the top of my head. Will update the OP with other instances of their work to "protect democracy" as I think of them. :usa:

ETA: Grabbing this from another thread :lol:
