Remember when Trump wanted the USS John S McCain out of sight when he visited Pearl Harbor?

And then a few months later when it hit that freighter his reaction was "that's too bad"

Lol

I mean yeah. Most (IIRC like 75%) of the people arrested by the NYPD in summer 2020 for breaching social distancing rules were black or Hispanic. The NYT had videos of cops politely asking white people to move apart and handing out masks, and of cops beating and arresting black people at an illegal block party.

Are cops currently using mask mandates as yet another excuse to harass POC? I don't know, but it honestly wouldn't surprise me.

Note how any time they're called out they immediately deflect by grasping at the nearest straw with an completely unrelated what-about-isms. Marge doesn't even address the actual point here, it's straight to an apples to oranges deflection, but somehow it always works.

Unlrelated but I expect a whole bunch of Hollywood Elite type outrage soon as there is very likely a massive film industry crew strike coming (over unsafe working hours and practices) and we all know how much the right loves unions. Also, to them, the film industry consists entirely of rich entitled actors. Could be fun

Yeah, this is particularly heinous.

This kind of dispute is nothing new, but Republicans regularly raise the debt ceiling (and did three times under Trunt IIRC) and propose tax cuts where average Joe pays like $700 less in taxes over the course of a year (and people like Bezos pay about a trillion less)

But THEN, when a democrat takes the White House, they are suddenly simultaneously Deficit Hawks and also get to point out that Democrats removing the tax cuts means “See! They are RAISING your taxes!!!”

So that’s all par for the course, but this time they are simultaneously threatening to tank the economy by causing the US to default.

Talking points include: Yah well we are going to default at some point in the future, so why NOT now?

and

If Biden hadn’t allowed Covid to run completely free, maybe we would be in better shape right now, might as well default because Shitlibs amirite

Time for some new from Germany, where getting shot by strangers is not an everyday occurrence.

The Guardian posted:

Politicians in Germany have expressed concern over the radicalisation of those who disagree with Covid restrictions, after a 49-year-old German citizen was arrested on suspicion of shooting dead a petrol station worker who refused to serve him while he was not wearing a mask.

Authorities in the western town of Trier said the suspect told officers he acted “out of anger” after the 20-year-old cashier at a petrol station the town of Idar-Oberstein, in Rhineland-Palatinate, asked him to put on a mask.

“He further stated during interrogation that he rejected the measures against coronavirus,” police said.

According to the state prosecutor, the man said he had felt “pushed into a corner” and had held the victim “responsible for the situation as a whole because he had enforced the rules”.

The suspect had entered the Aral petrol station at around 745pm on Saturday and picked up a six-pack of beer. CCTV footage shows a mask tucked into the back of the man’s trousers.

After the cashier had twice alerted him that it was mandatory to wear a mask inside the petrol station, the man had put down the beers after a brief exchange of words and left.

He returned two hours later, this time wearing a mask that he pulled under his chin as he stood at the counter. “Eventually he pulled a revolver from his pocket and fired a fatal shot at the 20-year-old student from Idar-Oberstein,” police said.

The suspect fled on foot but turned himself at a police station in town the following morning.

Some prime victim blaming over here - "He pushed me into a corner! He left me with no choice! I had to do it! So I drove for an hour, picked up my gun, drove for another hour back, and then shot him."

Because they're thinking about sides. 'Her side' was attacked, so by showing that 'their side' is doing the same (even if they aren't), the argument is invalid.

It's always a childish us v them thing and it works on everyone that has the same baby brain, while it looks stupid to anyone else.

Calling out someone for hypocrisy after they call someone else out for hypocrisy and even the theme framing the hypocrisy is the same, isn't whataboutism. It directly addresses MTG's original complaints. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whataboutism

And now, he's in jail where he's probably forced to wear a mask lol

yep right after we just had a wave of covid go through our kid's school, they are totally fine but there was zero way to keep them protected since none of the teachers and most of students do not wear masks anymore. Anyway, we've had everyone else that can get vaxxed vaxxed and the youngest is next and we are very excited to get it done.

Lol, I’m sure that Pelosi’s donor gathering was 110% proven vaxxed vs MTG’s “NO MASKS EVER ANYWHERE” pledge that she really doesn’t keep at all.

Only one example is hypocrisy. And it’s the one MTG got from “CSPN”(?).

But you know this.
