Continuing the point that Trump is a moron, he was recently pushing the US to do more nuclear testing, and so I think it’s obvious that Trump really wants to nuke somebody.
I think part of the reason he’s escalating international violence is because he wants a chance to deploy nuclear weapons.
My comment was intentionally written to avoid complaining, because I knew that if it was a complaint, people would complain about it.
this is misleading in that it is not actually reporting news
That’s not the type of misleading that qualifies as propaganda. It has to be misleading in a way that pushes their agenda.
this seems like a really stupid thing for you to be trying to start a fight over.
This is a fight you started by saying that my original comment was me not being immune to propaganda. If you think it’s stupid, then you should have chosen more correct words.
Actual propaganda isn’t true, though, or at least it requires an element of misleading in it. If ICE officials aren’t actually concerned about people shooting them and claiming self-defense, then I’ll eat my hat, as the old saying goes.
It’s also not “openly and unabashedly satirical.” You only think that because you recognize the source as satirical. To everybody else, it reads as clickbait.
Clickbait + true statements does not equal an amazing example of how we are not immune to propaganda.
This comic is Sr. Grafo complaining on the internet about comments on the internet that he doesn’t like because those comments are complaining about other comments on the internet.
This post is an amazing example of how we are not immune to propaganda
This post isn’t propaganda, though, so it’s not that amazing of an example.
So, ICE is scared that aggressive untrained people will use deadly force against them, and that afterwards the government will do nothing about it?
That’s pretty much how everybody else has felt about ICE for a long time.
“How to avoid I.C.E.” Notice how it doesn’t say, “How to safely get through an encounter with I.C.E.”
It’s always interesting how much people’s specific choice of words betrays their true feelings. The only reasonable goal with ICE is to avoid them, because once you encounter them, your safety cannot be guaranteed, no matter the circumstances.
Also, it’s quite a laugh for a Trump supporter to suggest that people should “Obey federal and state laws.” Trump doesn’t even think he should have to follow the Constitution, which is the basis upon which all of those state and federal laws can be enforced.
They’re complaining about other people accidentally breaking a building’s windows while they’re intentionally destroying its foundation.
It reminds me of when, in his first term, a wheelchair bound veteran gave Trump his Purple Heart, and Trump’s response, if I remember correctly, was, “I’ve always wanted one of these.”
Trump couldn’t even pretend to care about the veteran and just made it about himself.
The whole point of a padded room is that there is nothing that the patient can ram themselves into. So I think they wouldn’t give her a chair if she was a patient.
The only conclusion is that she’s not a patient and has just gone in there for fun.
My ultra religious fundamentalist aunt would support him more if he’s the antichrist. She believes that she’s already “saved” and so she wants the apocalypse to come sooner so that she can be raptured in her lifetime.
Apparently, she can do whatever awful things she wants to do because she’s already saved and has a free ticket into heaven.
I think a lot of people underestimate how nutty these people really are.
The state doesn’t just have the right to charge the ICE officer. It has the obligation to charge him.
I saw an article about an artist who used AI just for overall composition, and who said that he couldn’t compete if he didn’t do this, because everyone in his field was doing it and it was significantly faster than what he used to do.
I suspect that when people say things like “AI cannot possibly help field X be more efficient like it does in field Y,” what they often really mean is, “I work in field Y and not field X.”
I didn’t want to irritate any Italians by breaking spaghetti, so I purchased a device that lets you easily cook full-length spaghetti in the microwave.
I heard that police are supposed to be trained not to get their bodies in front of moving vehicles.
Because if you get hit by a car, that’s bad. And because it is escalating the problem. When a police officer stands in front of a vehicle to keep it from moving, they are turning a minor crime into a life-or-death situation.
This ICE officer did everything wrong, and a woman died because of his mistakes. The woman who died didn’t do everything right, but it’s not her job. She didn’t do anything that deserved a death sentence. The ICE officer, on the other hand…
When you put completely incompetent, yet completely arrogant people into positions of power, you get situations like this and Venezuela.
It’s even worse than that because a table has four sides. So, it’s like a four-sided coin getting heads 14 times.
Okay, but how did Jesus know where it would be painted when he was making the seating chart?
I don’t know how many times I’ve mentioned this, but there are two religious events that demonstrate God is displeased with people. Floods and plagues. There are more than that, but those are essential. If you were a Christian in 2020, COVID should have been the most obvious portent that God doesn’t like the way things are going in the world.
If you actually believed in that shit, you would have dumped Trump immediately and never looked back.
But Christians don’t really believe in the Bible. They believe in whatever their leaders say. They don’t follow the instructions of God. They follow the instructions of corrupt preachers and politicians.
By their own standards that they usually apply to other people, but not themselves, there would be almost no Christians who have a good afterlife to look forward to.
Why did Jesus and all of his disciples sit on the same side of the table at the last supper?
You’re confused because the two people who expressed these opinions, Posobiec and Bannon, do not expect their audience is capable of thinking rational thoughts.
