And how many people are you willing to kill to do that?

George Carlin's bit about the 10 commandments seems relevant here

Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities has an episode with an Eldritch horror theme called Pickman's Model. Crispin Glover does a super heavy Boston accent and it is fantastic.

How long til the killer is running for office somewhere?

Aww, look who is mad gun laws apply to white people too.

Take funding from the sheriff's office and form a task force specifically assigned to tracking and retrieving illegal guns.

Well you're going to have to pay to have the lake dredged to recover them then. We don't care what condition the guns are in when you surrender them.

That's fine. Wearing a mask is now a political statement which is protected free speech.

Start putting these people in jail in large numbers. Make it clear to the rest that they need to surrender their illegal firearms.

They should hold a VP debate next week.

I heard the cyber truck called the "Incel Camino" and now I can't think of it any other way.

Gorsuch has a libertarian streak, which makes him deviate from some of the more authoritarian conservative positions. It unfortunately also means that he hates government oversight.

While I disagree with it, there is a valid argument that getting rid of the filibuster would become an absolute disaster once Republicans gain the majority.

He has really departed from the way he was written in the beginning. Becoming popular forced the character to be written shallow.

I always knew I was a villain.

I don't think America is the best either, just less bad than China in most cases.

still just guys in pointy straw hats scratching at the dirt.

As of 2023, 40% of the Chinese workforce is engaged in farming, primarily at the small scale. Your racist implications aside, a large portion of the country is still relatively undeveloped.

China executes more than 1000 people every year, sometimes for things which are protected rights in the US like political dissidence (aka free speech). They are the #1 country in numbers of executions. They kill more people than the next 10 countries on the list combined.

China is the world's largest emitter of greenhouse gases; the largest source of marine debris; the worst perpetrators of illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing; and the world's largest consumer of trafficked wildlife and timber products.

The Chinese government regularly spies on its own citizens, censors what their citizens know, and manipulates them with propaganda.

China has 5 times the workforce as the US but 16 times the workplace fatality rate. More than 225 Chinese people die from workplace accidents.

China regularly holds more than 1 million people in internment camps. In these camps many are abused, tortured, raped, or used as slave labor. That is on top of the 1.7 million people in the penal system where torture is regularly used as punishment.

But yeah, they have one or two nice looking factories.

I just wish I didn't have to choose between a small car and a car that won't get stuck in the snow. I don't know why they think small cars must also have a small ground clearance.

Prosecutors said there is no legal basis for Judge Carl Nichols to continue the stay on Bannon serving his sentence

Appointed by Trump as if you even needed to ask.

That's why ebikes and scooters are becoming so popular. Small short range mobility vehicles are filling the gap.

Do you have any idea how bad the rivers used to be? A river outside Cleveland used to catch on fire and a river in Chicago used to bubble due to all the rotting slaughterhouse runoff.
