  • “Hey! You can’t do that! That very clearly violates Constitutional law.”

    “Oh, yeah? What are you going to do about it?”

    (checks Constitution) “Oh…uhhh. I guess nothing?”

    Impeachment, that’s what they’d do about it. But that would require politicians who do their job and also uphold the constitution. If the question is: what happens when everyone involved breaks the law and doesn’t do their job?

    The answer is one of two things: the people vote them out.

    If they are voted out but refuse to cede power peacefully, we end up with violence.

    Nothing about the checks and balances are broken, what’s broken is the percentage of the population that just doesn’t care their representative isn’t actually doing their job.



  • Grovel and beg for forgiveness after actively cutting NOAA budget? Personally drive a truck full of food/water/clothing for people displaced? Literally just show up and offer your condolences to your contituents (regardless of how obviously fake it’d be)?

    Like, basic human things you should be doing to show that you care about the people you supposedly represent? Vs: fuck it, I’m on vacation, they’ll still be dead when I get home.

    Guess what: politicians for all their grand standing about lazy entitled welfare recipients work about 130 total days a year, he can go see the parthenon some other time.






  • How about instead of turning this issue into class warfare as well, they just point out that CORPORATIONS are driving 90% of global emissions. Said corporations love studies like this because then they can blame the population by spewing such nonsense as “well if you didn’t buy our product we wouldn’t create the emissions”.

    There you have it folks, if you just stopped eating food, global warming would be solved. It couldn’t POSSIBLY be that governemnts should create things like emissions standards to drive down pollution.

    What’s that 70% of global emissions come from just 100 companies? Nope, it’s the richest 10% of the population that need to fix this, not the corporations (which in turn would punish the .1% who make all their wealth off those companies). Joe Shmoe and his wife making a combined $100k/year need to stop driving their car and ride that bus, that’ll SURELY fix the problem.

  • I know it’ll come across as an unpopular opinion, but some of them just need their ass kicked. Literally went to high school with a kid who was insufferable, a prick to everyone. One day he started bullying one of my buddies who proceeded to beat the shit out of him. He told his football coach he ran into a mailbox on his bike when he had to explain his face looking like it did. After that he was the nicest kid ever - he realized “being tough” wasn’t all it was cracked up to be. I guarantee a few of these kids just need to get punched in the face one time and they’ll start rethinking the “alpha male” ideology.

    Can we not pretend to be as dumb as the flat-earth tumpers?

    Her family came out and stated she suffered from epileptic seizures, and believed that was cause of death. There’s literally nothing worse than the family having closure, and being continually harassed about the death of a loved one because of psychotic internet conspiracy theorists. There is no basement in this pizza parlor.
