No one who voted or will vote for him gives a shit anyway though, so the only way he's going to go is if R does the right thing which, we know how that will play out.

I agree with everything you typed, but not so much the picture. I really think that body/looks-shaming Loomer is not a good look for us. There's plenty to attack her on without attacking her looks.

I thought she was waiting to be tapped for VP honestly.

And the worst part is SpaceX is a private company: no public shareholders to keep Musk in check.

Not like the Tesla or Twitter shareholders are doing much good anyhow.

Sure, but "sending cash is risky" is different than "if you send cash police will legally steal it."

(edit) Would someone please ship some counterfeit money through there and get it confiscated, so the police can then be investigated for spending counterfeit money?

Well, if you're going to move the goalposts that far from "most men are fascists" (which was throwing out the baby with the bathwater in the first place) what even is the point of discussion?

Good day to you.

Most men vote republican

Most men who vote vote republican.

Even if you and I disagree slightly on the meaning (I suspect my definition is more colloquial than yours) - I definitely agree with you that it's applied slapdash against far too broad a segment of society.

Here on Lemmy leftist means communist to some people, but liberal means corporatist Democrat to me.

Progressive or leftist is what I call myself depending on context. If I'm among a group that will immediately think I mean communist, then I stick with progressive.

most men are fascist

I mean, citation fucking needed.

The New York Police Department has tossed out hundreds of civilian complaints about police misconduct this year without looking at the evidence.

The cases were fully investigated and substantiated by the city’s police oversight agency, the Civilian Complaint Review Board, and sent to the NYPD for disciplinary action. They included officers wrongfully searching vehicles and homes, as well as using excessive force against New Yorkers.

In one instance, an officer punched a man in the groin, the oversight agency found. In another, an officer unjustifiably tackled a young man, and then another officer wrongly stopped and searched him, according to the CCRB.

The incident involving the young man was one of dozens of stop-and-frisk complaints the NYPD dismissed without review this year — a significant development given that the department is still under federal monitoring that a court imposed more than a decade ago over the controversial tactic.

My personal entry point to LL Cool J - and I think best song on his best album.

There's a remix that actually has bells, but I thought I should go with the one most will have heard.

I have the unpopular opinion that aside from a couple specific songs I've been lukewarm to every LL Cool J album later than Radio (which was such a banger), but this is so eyebrow-raisingly off the path of what I tend to expect from LL Cool J that I had to post here.

I literally came blind to this new album, and just before hitting play I thought - well unfortunately I can predict I'm not going to get any hard social commentary like from dead prez or etc...

30 secs later it felt like that thought had personally offended him. Track 1 no less.
