Weird, guy who breaks laws with impunity doesn’t care about laws.

He’s in the class of people protected by the law but not bound by it, and we’re in the class of people bound by the law but not protected by it.

My point is, what the law is doesn’t matter if the law is not enforced. Good luck fighting a team of lawyers that make more in a minute than you do in a year.

Legally you can’t be forced to hand over your money, so just tell the armed robber, “no.”

It’s nice to see some good news from time to time in these troubling times.

And it’s so frustrating that they are not in jail.

I understand the far right strategy, but I don’t get why all the people controlling the forums all accommodated them even when people pointed it out.

The forums I frequented, started to slowly allow more and more ultra right, misogynist, racist, and fascist users. They allowed them to break the rules saying they were giving them leeway and the benefit of the doubt, while holding the rest of the long time users to an even higher standard than they were before, when dealing with these new users.

All that made all the forums unbearable, and after bringing it up several times and getting nowhere, I left them. And so did the other long time users one after the other.

I checked back on them a few years later and I regret nothing. One turned into a cesspool of fascist, racist, and misogynistic echo chambers. The others are gone.

I don’t know how much of that is representative of the whole, but since it was several forums that it happened to and all the ones I was using, it warps my perception.

No excuse for the DNC, but I think seeking the “moderate Republicans” is a condition of their big donors. Every time the Democrats lose, since Reagan won, they move right because they think they lost because they weren’t conservative enough. And despite all polling that suggests otherwise, they keep doing it.

In general, they would get more money and power if they won, so why do they keep shooting themselves in the foot every fucking time? In my mind, even if you factor in that they don’t give a shit about the common people and are motivated by money, it only makes sense if they are being manipulated by their big donors to do this stupid shit.
