This was all over the news a few months ago. Some guy dressed up like a police officer and targeted a bunch of democrats in their state legislator, showed up to their houses and just started shooting. How did you miss that? It was all over lemmy at the time it happened.

Having a rough upbringing is no excuse. I also had a rough upbringing, and im an engineer now. You choose to try to make your situation better, or you don’t. The world may deal you a shitty hand, and if the issues you face are systemic, I can see it holding you back. But, it sounds like this guy is a poor white kid. They love to give out scholarships to poor white kids, its literally what got me through school.

It sounds like your friend is just not the brightest crayon in the box. Kind of hard to pull yourself out of a shitty situation when you don’t have a lot going on upstairs.

If thats what you have to tell yourself to feel better.

Joseph Goebbels was a Nazi, and he poisoned his 6 kids at the end of the war before also committing suicide… Nobody is saying that about him, and I know where you got that phrase from too…I literally just read the article on lemmy. So I dont know why you’re using it since its out of context.

You can criticize people without making shit up…

Yours wasn’t very good, and everyone else already told you what was wrong with it. Figured I’d keep it simple in case you had trouble following.

So, a dead guy?

Do we still have laws? Or is it just whatever Dear Leader decides is law…bcz Im not sure I see that as rule of law exactly.

My god, you really are ignorant. I hope you’re just a troll. Either way, im done here. This isnt a productive conversation anymore (if it ever was).

There’s a chance he didnt…but also, only like 35-40% of our population votes. If we had mandatory voting, someone like Trump never would have been elected.

Thats the subtext. His followers won’t get it unfortunately because…unfortunately they have the dumb, and its terminal.

I see you took your idiot pills this morning.

Yes actually, i dont really give a crap who comes to our country as long as they aren’t violent (which is a moot point since most violent crime is perpetrated by citizens of said country). In the U.S. it’s extra ironic we dont want immigrants since we literally showed up here as immigrants and took the land from the Native Americans. We are all descendents of immigrants in this country.

Now, obviously, I cant get what I want, so I’d settle for reasonable immigration laws. But last time I checked getting citizenship in the U.S. can take as long as 20 years. In this administration, im sure its even harder to get citizenship if you aren’t a rich white racist fuckhead.

How did we build the atomic bomb then if we’re so bad at keeping secrets? They literally thought it might ignite the entire atmosphere on fire. You think the public would have approved of that? You’re gullible as fuck if you think the government doesn’t hide this shit from us.

Yeah you can, they do it all the time.

Why would the U.S. need public approval for a troll farm? That shit is highly classified. If you think the U.S. doesn’t do the same thing we accuse Russia and China of doing, I gotta bridge to sell you.

Nobody ever said this was about the first ammendment. Its illustrating the double standards the oligarchs have set for everyone who isn’t on their side. Everybody knows at this point the government and oligarchy are one and the same.

Why? Anybody who’s played it knows it only has a passing resemblance to Pokémon. Once you play the game, you realize how different it is in its mechanics and story from pokemon.

Nintendo doesn’t own the idea of monster taming. The idea predates their company by quite a bit actually.

Thank you for clarifying. Id like to reiterate your statement by repeating it in summary to make sure i understand. Trump is a pedophile.

That was my first thought too. Bells Pasy just makes your face droop. You’re not cognitively impaired in any way from it. My step dad had that back about 10 years ago maybe? Only thing that makes me think it might be more is his face is far droopier than my stepdads ever was.

I feel like Bells Palsy is a sort of paralysis from the virus/bacteria (i forget which one it is that causes it). And this seemed more extreme. But who knows, cant diagnose someone from a picture.

Edit: Cause unknown for Bells Pasy. You learn something new every day. I thought it was caused by a virus or bacterial infection, thats what I was told as a kid.

Mental health issues isn’t an excuse for being a piece of shit though. You can have mental health issues and also be the nicest person in the world. This guy spewed hatred and violent rhetoric everywhere he went.
