Once again, I have no idea what you’re trying to say and you won’t tell me, so all I can do is guess. If you want to stop being cagey and snarky and tell me what the fuck you meant, feel free. Otherwise I’m just going to assume you’re another Republican who has a problem with women and queer people and are blaming the wildfires on them.

I do not expect an explanation to be forthcoming at this point either.

I know this has been said a lot, especially lately, but I think this is the true death knell of satire.

I thought the gulf of Mexico renamed shit was just memeing.

I have a feeling we’re going to be seeing a lot of “I didn’t think he would really do ____” in the coming weeks and months.

I was under no such illusions. He has no one to stop him this time around.

A fate worse than death!

No, everyone who blames Los Angeles wildfires on the mayor or the fire chief is parroting Republican talking points. That would be you.

nobody is under any illusion that crypto is anything other than a scam.

I wish that was true. Not too long ago right here on Lemmy there was some bitcoin zealot who could not understand why its constantly fluctuating value make it pretty useless as a currency for everyday use. Apparently there are also 100,000,000 satoshis to the bitcoin and those are literally the only two tiers. And that same person couldn’t understand why people would find that super fucking hard to work with.

Yeah, shouldn’t Republicans be terrified of Trump letting all of those Antifa people stirring up trouble on January 6th out of prison?

He’s been doing that for months.

Terrorists.

Another order canceled Joe Biden’s sanctions on the most violent Israeli settlers in the West Bank, who are apparently not “terrorists” despite their violent and politically motivated attacks on civilians. He also seems to be laying the legal groundwork to carry out his campaign promise to deport foreign students who participated in antiwar protests as Israel systematically drove millions of Gazans from their homes and killed more children in that tiny territory than had died in all the war zones in the world for years before.

And here I thought voting for Harris means you support genocide and there is no way genocide gets worse once it starts being genocide. That was what I was told for weeks before November.

Deport her to where? She’s an American. You can’t deport a citizen of your country to another country.

They are generally what Republicans believe and you sure are talking about Los Angeles like you are one.

Too late. Still here and that motherfucker is still alive.

That said, I think Reform UK getting enough power to really change things is unlikely, at least based on the polls I’ve seen. The association with Musk and his wanting to free Tommy Robinson is not helping them.

Fair enough. That is what other people have been arguing in this thread and it annoys me when there are so many legitimately awful things about her.

If he does, I’m fine with it. It’s just a name. Let people be called by the names they want to be called unless they’re unreasonably long or very difficult for anyone in pretty much any language to pronounce.

I won’t call you Wowbagger the Infinitely Prolonged, but if you want me to call you Wowbagger, why not? I just don’t see the issue with anyone going with a name they weren’t born with other than the two things I just said.

If he wants to be called Vinny, I’ll call him Vinny.

No, you really didn’t.

She is not trans, she is a lesbian. But they will be next in America, because it isn’t TERF shit, it’s much more old fashioned hatred.

But her parents doing it is not her doing it, which is the accusation. You can’t control what your parents call you.

I’m just glad my daughter is still okay with me calling her Baba at age 14. It’s because when she was a baby, she would say, “bababababa.”

Thank you.

The hellscape that is the UK is a hell of a lot less likely to force my daughter into conversion therapy. If that makes me a traitor, I can live with it.
