This is a nothing story. That's not brutal, it's not even mockery. It's a throwaway joke at a circlejerk dinner for politicos.

Article spends a paragraph recounting this BRUTAL TAKEDOWN, then 10 paragraphs recapping Boebert's recent history.

68 billion to acquire IP, but can't afford to pay the people who make and maintain it.

These dummies never understand that their country doesn't want them. Society grows and leaves some people behind. Adapt and grow or turn in to an old man yelling at clouds.

The union chiefs announced it on Twitter and thanked Biden by name for having a team continue to negotiate. Whether people were paying attention or the media covered is a different matter.

I have questions about how necessary it was to fire at the woman in the first place.

•if she's in an empty lobby with her and her son, and two security officers, could they not have tried to negotiate and get the kid away first?

•Did security actually see "materials consistant with manufacturing explosives" inside her trenchcoat before firing, or is that something they alleged after they shot a 7yo in the head. There were no explosives found on her body or at home.

I know it's hard to judge these situations, but I feel like there could have been a resolution where the kid doesn't sacrificed by everyone involved.

They've been bemoaning the fact we have Democracy lately. They're playing up the Republic angle, and believe the People can't make the correct decisions for themselves.

Which is weird, because they seem to really enjoy looking at pictures of his dick in public settings.

What's crazy is, no, they don't want war. They want to get reelected indefinitely for status and profit, and will say anything to get that. The shit they say incites their followers to want war, and that is advantageous for them.

The politicians know their bluffs will be called, but if they keep people mad and scared, they can keep farming donations and votes from rubes. They've done it for decades. This rhetoric gets stale eventually, so they have to keep amplifying the message, to the point they're now posturing for a civil war they know won't ever come.

Meanwhile, their voters are bashing people on the head with hammers or killing family members because they've been told to be scared for decades, and are now being told to fight back.

His lawyers forgot to ask for one. There were a dozen articles floating around this morning about it.

If Trump wins, we won't have fair elections in 2028. Do they need to see a second insurrection to get off the fence?

I could see cryptobros and the "investing" subs spending a lot on this. They were already buying tons of awards to hype themselves up.

Any unironic circlejerk cult will by buying these and pinning them on each other's chest, same as the dumbass awards.

I think reddit knows their target audience pretty well; Rubes. That's why they let all the toxic "stock", crypto-scam and political extremist subs stay open until the media starts writing stories about them. Gullible idiots spend a lot of money trying to make their opinions look smart and popular.

This will make Reddit a lot of money in the short-term, but probably push more legitimate/casual users away as these "premium upvotes" will surely effect the algorithm and push more nonsense into people's feeds.

Now that i think about it, this will probably help advertisers and political groups astroturf all of reddit.

In my head i call it the "Rule of least want to do". If i have 2-3 tasks that need doing (ususlly work related), i think of which thing i least want to do. That's the thing i get done, then move down the line.

You don't see a problem with needing to build a 3rd bathroom in every place that only has 2 bathrooms, and would single out those who use it as an "other" to anyone seeing them use it?

Local authorities will let this pass the same as they let these fuckwits run a Biden campaign bus off the road in 2020. It's Texas, local authorities love this shit

You've just articulated a feeling I've had most of my life, but couldn't have described better.

Solving trivial problems for people they could easily do themselves if they just muddled through the work of it. Then act like I'm a genius, when it's really just 'stubbornness' and refusing to admit i can't figure it out.

Thanks for that.
