When you seek to convince your audience that people who don't agree with your bigotry are demonic communists who want to steal your children and consume their blood you will eventually succeed and what other option is there for those believers but preemptive action to stave off the nonexistent threat? God I tried my damnedest to warn everyone that exactly this would happen- that rhetoric was dangerous and contagious and could cause radicalization across a significant enough portion of our population to destabilize the United States and that we needed to start taking it seriously. Literal years of harassment and bullying and mockery because I tried to tell people exactly what was coming, and now that its here all I feel is a mixture of dread and failure. gently caress. Just I don't even know what the loving say right now. Anyone who can should try and get a couple of months worth of food stockpile on hand, not because of covid-19, but because of the massive wave of civil unrest that is coming. This is going to be bad, real real bad.

It's ok, all it took to stamp this poo poo out in Germany was losing a world war. I'm sure it will be fine.

Rush the other day on covid: https://www.rushlimbaugh.com/daily/2020/06/18/dr-fauci-casts-doubt-on-nfl-season/ quote:RUSH: You know, you talk about college and the impact it will have on women’s sports. They can’t play college football if they don’t open the schools, if there are no classes. If the universities and colleges don’t open, then there’s no way that they could get away with having the college football season, even if they’re gonna prevent fans from going in. Also this screed was in response to asking about sports an event where players can't social distance

I happened to listen to Joe Pags the other day and while he's absolutely a piece of poo poo, I got a kick out of his response to a caller who called in to say that it would be ridiculous to have Juneteenth declared a national holiday. The guy was like "Well if we celebrate Juneteenth then why don't we also celebrate this Native American holiday and this Italian holiday and all these other days, I tell you what we should have, is November 29th should be National Go To Work Day so we know they're working at least one day a year!" So Joe Pags was like "I don't understand, why would you be upset if they declare Juneteenth a federal holiday? Like forget about all those other days you were talking about, what's the problem with it being a holiday?" and the guy started to talk about "Well you know there's all these other groups" and Joe cut him off and said "Look you're not answering my question, it's a very direct question, why do you not want Juneteenth to be a federal holiday?" The guy finally said some bullshit about there being "too many holidays" and Joe just says "Well so what? We can just get rid of one of the other ones. I still don't understand why you're so upset about it."

Hmm...yes, indeed. Why WOULD anyone object to Juneteenth being a national holiday? *Vehemently opposes MLK Day in Arizona* So their argument is we get too much paid time off form work then because just holy poo poo LOL. Agree there are too many "Holidays" - as if any of us get those days off in the first place. Let's get rid if Columbus Day for starters and extrapolate out from there then, since we seem to be in some form of agreement. Jesus Christ. Even the host was baffled by the line of questioning from this caller. Frankenstein is loose, y'all. They've been brainwashing their listeners for over 25 years and seem genuinely surprised that they're all completely insane.

BiggerBoat posted:Hmm...yes, indeed. Why WOULD anyone object to Juneteenth being a national holiday? But...whether you get holidays off is at the discretion of your employer. For instance, my company gives us 10 federal holiday days, but 4 of them are floaters. I want to say MLK, Columbus, maybe Presidents', and one other, and you can use those like extra PTO days throughout the year. Ideally, they want you to use them to give yourself a 3 day weekend, but most supervisors are fully willing to let you take them in a block. We also give people special holidays in their own country off, like Canada's Thanksgiving, Diwali, etc. So declaring Juneteenth a holiday means fuckall for commerce. Most companies will continue to offer their bank of holidays and if you want Juneteenth off, use your PTO. The only one that does matter is making Election Day a proper paid holiday.

This in conjunction with mandatory voting (even if it's undeclared) would make American politics mean something. Instead half the country can't or won't vote and we get shills for leadership because a small voting block won the ballot.

Fully paid Holidays, I get: July 4 Memorial Day Labor Day Christmas New Year's Day Thanksgiving And one or two half days sprinkled here and there throughout (like the day after Thanksgiving or half a paid day on NYE or Christmas Eve). Past that, I think I get 10 other days (sick time or personal days). I don't think I'm alone and pretty sure many folks even get less. I feel so FREE!

^^^Why would they object to a paid holiday?^^ Can't wait for the news to unfold this week when MSM suddenly finds out that leftists and democrats loving hate John Bolton and don't give a poo poo about his stupid book or wtf he has to say while FOX News and AM radio try to make him some sort of Deep State radical liberal. Because I know it's coming. These same assholes loving worshiped Bolton under GWB and in the wake of 9/11. Mattis too. BiggerBoat fucked around with this message at 00:36 on Jun 22, 2020 |

Reminding me of how Mississippi is finally more seriously considering changing their flag but AFAIK isn't considering changing the dual-recognition of MLK and Robert E. Lee on the same day, which is much more blatant.

Instead they barely last a year before getting dumped in a humiliating manner and the entire political structure they praised them as geniuses and great thinkers is now blasting them as weak morons who couldn't do the job.

BiggerBoat posted:So... I hope the opposite. I hope he just keeps living, but his cancer grows progressively worse and worse until he is wracked with agony, unable to breathe, bed-bound. I hope his servants ignore him and leave him to stew in his own waste, sores opening on his corpse-pale body and becoming infected from the surrounding feculence. I want him to lay there and plead for help in a weak, sad little voice, and the only response is the occasional changing of a saline bag to keep him just barely alive and conscious. I hope his servants steal his pain medication so he has to remain at least semi-lucid, so he can watch as Trump stands bloated and petulant behind his precious little podium, blathering about how he only likes winners, and how maybe El Rushbo would still be around if he hadn't been a Never Trumper early on, and how he's a secret Democrat who used to go overseas to have his way with children. I want Rush Limbaugh to live. I want him to live for a very long time. Thoughts like these help to relieve and comfort me in these trying times. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

My 9 year old son compared the Mayor in JAWS to Donald Trump and Ron Desantis relating to the proverbial "opening of the beaches" in the midst of corona virus and how much danger we're being put under right now here in NE FL. He's a smart kid. But at least the mayor eventually admitted he hosed up and hired Quint. Trump would have called Hooper, Brody and Quint "losers" after firing them from his cabinet and blamed the shark attacks on...well...I dunno. The media I guess?
