It’s assumed that you already have a pear tree; the partridges are just being installed into your pre-existing tree. Don’t be greedy. Mature fruit trees are expensive.

I’ve spent the better part of the last year trying to convince people to hold their nose and vote blue to stop exactly this from happening, and that clearly was for nothing… I’ve got a lot of anger that I’d love to redirect at this new source of outrage. If you’ve got any insights on developing movements to rally around, I’d love to hear about it.

This is really the worst part of this whole thing. If a ‘normal’ politician with his exact platform had won the election, it wouldn’t feel nearly as bad. It’d still be awful, but not nearly as bad. The fact that he’s getting away with all of this shit, that’s the real kick in the teeth. It’s a complete hemorrhage of justice and it really just hammers home how utterly fucked the system is. There is no justice, unless the perpetrator is poor and/or brown, and that should piss everyone off, regardless of political affiliation.

A man with 34 felony convictions can’t win the presidency in a nation where trust in institutions is high. It’s only in a culture where the justice system has long since lost its legitimacy that a man with such a thick criminal record as Trump glides by relatively unremarked. That one man can so effortlessly game American institutions to his own benefit says as much about the decrepit state of America’s institutions as it does about the moral decrepitude of the crook.

Well, no shit. It’s the same shit that sane people have been saying for a long time. If only the media wasn’t completely dominated by the billionaire class, we might actually be able to organize around collective outrage, but most people seem content to just consume whatever Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos and Donald Trump tell them to consume and not think beyond that.

NoStupidQuestions maybe but really, the answer is simple: If someone is committing a crime, report it to the police.

This will doubtless be removed for Rule 1 soon, but until it is: Maybe consider posting this elsewhere. This is not the right community.

No, they won’t.

There’s certainly going to be change, just not the change any sane person actually wants.

Well, they’re certainly going to get change, that’s for sure. I hope they’re happy sleeping in the bed they made.

I don’t understand how this many people see everything that he’s done and said, and still voted for him. I just do not understand. I don’t want to live on the same planet as these people, nevermind in the same country.

It’s like that story about the family that moved to Russia and said “We didn’t think it would be so hard to live in Russia when we didn’t speak Russian!”

If you’re a progressive leaning individual and still can’t see why voting for someone who can actively beat Trump is the only option right now, I really don’t know what to tell you.

You want to work to get third party candidates into other positions? Local government, state government, congress? I’m with you. All for it. Let’s do it. But if you honestly think that this is the time to cast a protest vote for president, you either aren’t paying attention at all, or you’re being willfully ignorant. Or you honestly think there’s no difference if Trump or Harris wins and if that last one is the case, then you are well and truly lost and I have nothing else to say to you.

A third party vote is a waste until the system is fundamentally changed. Rather than spending all the effort trying to sabotage the election for Trump, if all of the people doing this instead put that effort into promoting systemic reform from the ground up, we’d all support you, instead of thinking you’re Russian propagandists astroturfing.

Disenfranchising large swaths of states is what the GOP wants to do. Don’t play into their hand.

Good thing our justice system is just and fair, and applies equally to everyone regardless of social or economic class, otherwise he might just get away with it!

Which is why they should be at every polling place in the nation. Every single one.

Isn’t this also illegal? He promised consideration (e.g. an entry in a sweepstakes) in exchange for specific performance (signing a petition), and is now claiming that the consideration he promised was not given, after people had already performed in accordance with his stated requirements. How is this different than if I tell you I’ll give you a lottery ticket if you give me $1, then after receiving the dollar, I decline to give you the ticket?

What’s this? You have a problem with Sally Acorn? The female character that wore clothes, but only a vest and boots, pointedly wearing no pants and keeping the front of her vest open? Whose outfit had to be redesigned to be less sexualized, well after the original cartoon aired?

Let’s not forget…

Or…

Notably, the man didn’t get shot, yet he’s still clearly into it. He knew what he was doing when he told Cupid to shoot it. The bear ‘attack’ was just a pretense.

When you carry a ton of feathers, you also have to carry the weight of what you did to those poor birds…
