When I moved north, I realized there are only two seasons here: looking forward to summer, and dreading winter.

Well that's something I suppose.
How many times over the last 4 years have I been told "Oh, they really got him now!" Do any wealthy politicians face consequences for the shady stuff they do( I include democrats in this category)?
And then I think about George Floyd who tried to buy a pack of smokes with a phony $20, and possibly didn't even know it was counterfeit, but was killed shortly thereafter.
This is not the America I want
Die, heretic!
Some baseball scholars consider any contact between the bat and a Hindu, Sikh or Buddhist baby to be foul bunt, and therfore an automatic strike. A Scientologist, Church of Latter Day Saints or Jehova's Witness baby on the other hand is considered a fair ball unless caught in flight with runners on first, first and second, first and third, or bases loaded (with less than two out).
What kind of Christian baby? If it's Pentecostal I'll hit it out of the park, but a New Southern Reform Anabaptist baby? No way!
Wait, is he saying
Yet that horrible day was the vindication, not the expiration, of our constitutional system. The system worked. The riot was put down. Congress, including Republicans, reassembled and certified Biden as the next president.
In the courts, many Trump-appointed judges ruled against challenges to the election.
Our system was put through a Cat 5 stress test
So let's reward the ones responsible!
Seems like that's the logic here. Tell the vice president to lie and subvert our system, Cause a riot in which someone is killed, and an estimated 1.5 million dollars of damage to the Capitol building, including literal shit smeared down the halls, people doing jailtime and a whole bunch of frivolous bullshit lawsuits - These are the actions of someone who will defend democracy and ought to be president!
This is one of the dumbest pro-trump arguments I have ever heard.
SRA describes the goal of their organization as "to provide an alternative to the mainstream, toxic, right-wing, and non-inclusive gun culture that has dominated the firearms community for decades. We seek to provide a safe, inclusive, and left-leaning platform for talking about gun rights and self defense, free from racist and reactionary prejudices, while providing a platform for the working class to obtain the skills necessary for all aspects of community defense."[25] The group describes itself as "working class, progressive, anarchist, socialist, communist, eco-warrior, animal liberator, anti-fascist, anti-racist, anti-capitalist, PoC, LGBTQ-plus."
Wow! There's a whole bunch of people I'm friends with that I didn't even know about.
Is no one else going to mention the possibility that this kid was severely bullied and abused? I'm not trying to suggest any justification or excuse for attacking sleeping people with hammers, but it is such abnormal behavior that it seems at least possible to me that this kid was driven to extreme violence out of desperation.
But Liu, who has attained success based on his identity and cultural background, feels that it is his job to gate-keep that Asian culture from anyone in Canadian and American markets who is not Asian themselves or not showing proper enough deference to Asian culture.
Really? Is he gate-keeping Asian culture? What about the fact that the concept of "asian culture" is in itself an ignorant and racist idea because there are many different Asian nations and ethnic groups and cultures.
More to the point: dude on a TV show is asked to give opinions on different business ventures and gives his opinion. Somehow this translates into gate-keeping Asian culture from Canadian and American markets? Bullshit.
That trendy sugary drink that you are never quite sure about it's contents. Those days are over!
Here's the issue for most people. The marketing here is that because this trendy drink is made by strsnge foreign ethnic people you don't know what's in it! You can't trust those asian drinks! But those days are over because white people are making it now, and you can trust our simple ingredients. This has nothing to do with gate-keeping, and everything to do with trying to make a profit off racism and xenophobia. This might be perfectly legal in Canada, I don’t know, but trying to generate outrage about people not wanting to participate in that is bullshit.
