Of course, they can't say "war criminal Donald Trump" because that would then invite people to call Biden a war criminal too

The best presidential candidate in the history of this country ran from jail.

last year i was talking to my cousin and they told a story about their great uncle who was about 7 years old in 1920 for the election and his dad took him down to the polling station to see the results. this was back in the day, you understand, and you'd have to go look at a chalkboard to see the tally. anyway my great uncle twice removed or whatever he is, he looked at the tally and then looked down at the kid and said, "they didn't count my vote."

"how do you know, dad?"

"because it says there's 0 votes for eugene debs!"

It's so fucking stupid. "Yes, our guy killed half a million children by starving them to death but their monster filed his taxes wrong in the state of new york!"

It's like how liberals will constantly use homosexuality as the punchline for jokes

If you point out that the thing they're using as an insult (body weight/type, sexuality, criminal record) is not something they should use as an insult, they'll get absolutely offended and assure you they're not actually homophobic or whatnot, they just say it because it annoys the target of their insults - which is usually some high ranking politician who will never be in the same postal code as these ghouls, let alone hear the insult

We got one of those idiots in here that tried to 'well, ACKSHUALLY' argue that the very homophobic 'joke' they made was actually supportive of trans people

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 month ago (2 children)

saying the US is sucking Israel's dick isn't homophobic because Israel is trans and the US is sucking her feminine penis

That was wild

Something like 3% of the population has been convicted of a felony. Most of us probably have a felon in our families or social groups and many of us probably know a felon whose conviction was bullshit. Using "convicted felon" as a pejorative in the most obsessively carceral society in the history of earth is bound to backfire.

Liberals don't really care about that

We get them in here every day in some random threads, screaming about how we're a bunch of dumbasses for not voting for war criminal Joe Biden, which is 'definitely' going to convince people here to vote for him

56% of Democratic voters claim to oppose genocide but are more angry at the people who won't vote for it

sure 7% of gaza's been killed but at least biden hasn't been caught sleeping on public property

[–] [email protected] 54 points 1 month ago (1 children)

He sleeps on public property every damn day. The white house is public property.

If non-felon Biden (or any US president) were ever tried in an actual (read: non-amerikkkan) court, he’d be struggling to make a case for why he shouldn’t be immediately executed

[–] [email protected] 53 points 1 month ago

Biden illegally sent weapons to israel within the last calendar year. he'll just never be convicted of it so it doesn't count.

I only support non convicted felons

They can't say what he's actually been convicted of because people would just laugh in their face.

[–] [email protected] 42 points 1 month ago

His is convicted of a crime like a minority. You wouldn't vote for a minority would you?

[–] [email protected] 42 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Trump's poll numbers rose with every indictment. Rushing to convict him during a presidential campaign is a massive blunder on par with boosting him in 2016 thinking he would be an easier opponent than the "legitimate" candidates.

Mr. Trump the court find you GUILTY...of being a freaking cheeto!

Doesn't Trumps base like the fact he's an "outsider" and "rebel" who bucks establishment civility? They're making him look COOLER to his base!

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 month ago

The dems should really shut up about it. His base finding out he was convicted of minor misdemeanor tax fraud on a technicality by a politicized New York court that played legal calvinball to arrive at felony charges will only help him.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That mugshot they made of him was the best photo done of him in years. Somehow they made him look like a persecuted hero.

It drives me crazy that this country has such a strong strain of legalism in its populace despite having been created in an illegal revolution against the British Empire.

Seriously, what percentage of Americans have a DUI conviction or something similar? It's not at all a rare thing to have a felony nor is it really a moral judgment on someone.

convicted felon martin luther king jr.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 month ago

wasn't there some statistic that most americans unknowingly commit a felony once a week or something? (i think this in aggregate)

everything is a fucking felony. thanks to Biden's Crime Bill.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 month ago

Honestly they aren't saying it enough. Most Americans will hear someone caught a victimless felony and start fantasizing about murdering the person
