My personal feelings are more to the tune of "I don't want to see them tortured, but I do want to see them locked away until they won't hurt people".

America being a hellworld is not made any better by the prisons being instruments of hurting people instead of containing them.

Dumbass actor posts a ton of poo poo on twatter and finally got booted by Disney for saying that modern day Republicans have it just as bad as Jews in WW2-Germany. She was even set to get her own spin off series but just couldn't shut her stupid loving mouth.

E: It's quite possible the person who drew that strip isn't actually aware of why she got fired and is jumping to the wrong conclusion. A lot of the MSM has been really bad at explaining exactly what she did.

See also every conservative news personality (And cartoonists like the ones featured in this thread) will tell you they registered as a Democrat a few election cycles ago, then switched parties because "The Left has gone too far" without elaborating on why they think that

It is kind of amazing how everyone who complains about "cancel culture" both agrees with someone they think is cancelled and refuses to state that openly

It's almost like one of the main effects of calling someone out on extremely lovely things they've said is that other people don't want to be associated with them anymore, exhibit a: the person who won't clarify who they're talking about

It only wasn't over in the sense that loving evil Brits murdered 1400 French sailors at Mers-el-Kébir out of pure paranoia. France wasn't conquered in the same way Poland was.

France wasn't conquered in the same way because the Germans saw them as civilized people and not sub-human animals unfit for nation status or uh, continuing to exist long term.

It's certainly dominant; the national economy is hugely centralised. London represents more than 20% of the national GDP while the next biggest city is at less than 4%.

I think he's trying to say that dictators in other countries that commit human rights atrocities should be banned from twitter... which is a good point! They definitely should be banned from twitter, in addition to all the right wing shitheads here in America.

Of course, that's not what he really means, is it?

The only thing I can find is that after Trump tweeted at the beginning of October that he had declassified everything in the Mueller report (which was a lie), Buzzfeed requested the full unredacted report, which the DOJ denied. They didn't get the full report, but one day before the election, Buzzfeed received some parts of the report that had previously been redacted. The new information basically said that although Trump and Roger Stone appeared to have advance knowledge about the Wikileaks publishing of the stolen DNC emails, there was no evidence to prove that they had actively participated in the Russian hacking, that they had knowledge that the hacking was continuing, or that the emails constituted some sort of campaign contribution.

While I'm not sure when Buzzfeed published their article in the timeline of things, it makes sense to reason that due to them getting it one day before the election, as well as the election taking up almost all the news cycle the following day, that other media sites and corporations probably wouldn't have written about the new information until after the election was over.
