I also do not blindly hate Trump, but I will admit that my hate for him is extremely biased by the fact that I blame him for the death of a family member due to his ridiculous handling of COVID.

It’s very possible that my family member would have died regardless of who the president was, but the fact that Trump ignored the pandemic playbook that had been created ahead of time, and ignored expert advice in favor of public opinion makes me blame him.

It would be one thing if he actually tried to do all of the right things, and it just worked out badly, but the fact that he didn’t do his job properly is something I simply cannot get past.

So, I hate him. I know it’s not completely based in rationality, but it’s significantly based in rationality.

Why would he be executed at all?

If my sources are correct, there were 21,156 intentional homicides in 2022, 2265 people on death row at the end of 2022, and only 17 people actually executed in that year.

How many of those 17 people executed committed a single murder and no other crimes? If somebody else wants to do the research and prove me wrong, go ahead, but I’m going to assume that it’s 0. So, in the US, apparently we must have certain special laws that only protect wealthy celebrity propagandists and wealthy health care CEOs.

This isn’t the sort of crime that we execute people for in modern America. Even people who support the death penalty should agree with this.

Imagine if Eve hadn’t eaten that fruit, and we’d all still be mindless morons living lives of servitude. Actually, that doesn’t sound too different from what we have now, but at least we’ve got manga and anime.

I have a food allergy, and I’m always surprised if I ever find people who are lackadaisical about theirs.

I’m sure every person is different, but for me, when I have a bad reaction, my esophagus almost completely closes, I feel some of the worst pain in my life, and sometimes I can’t stop throwing up, which obviously doesn’t work too well since my esophagus is closed.

At least it doesn’t obstruct my airway. All I generally have to do is crush some Benadryl and hold it under my tongue when it gets really bad.

Here’s one.

Counterpoint: Fuck cars.

Supervillains are in charge of everything, so they’ve made it illegal to be a superhero.

Yes, that post is a great reminder that we can make things too simple, but Trump’s administration frequently parrots Nazi propaganda specifically, and we have been told that Trump keeps a book of Hitler’s speeches next to his bed.

If anything, I think Trump’s administration is so ignorant to history that the Gestapo comparison is more valid, because they likely don’t know about this other history, so they’re just copying the Nazis directly.

You may not be aware of this, but it’s international law that a plumber has to let you pee in his policeman’s helmet if you ask him.

It just goes to show how DC Comics authors needed to read 1984. There is no way that a group of supervillains would call themselves the Legion of Doom.

IRL, the biggest villains label themselves as if they’re good guys. That’s why the name of the Nazi party says they’re socialists. If the Legion of Doom were a real thing, they’d call themselves something like the Board of Peace.

Lighting can cause fires. Electric shorts can cause fires.

Edit: That was supposed to be “lightning.” But lighting can also cause fires, so I guess it isn’t that bad of a typo.

I see no reason you’d ever want a dictator, but I admit that sometimes, I wish I could unilaterally amend the US Constitution. I’d be able to fix campaign finance, voting methods, gerrymandering, looting the government by the rich, and a whole bunch of other crap all at once.
