According to Einstein, you can sit on a hot stove.

Wouldn’t it be “Nåo trit”?

Luigi Mangione has not been found guilty of any crime. As of the time when writing this, he is an innocent man suspected of committing a crime. Until proven otherwise, he is not the person who shot the CEO.

I would like to note that Luigi has not been found guilty of anything and that both him deserving the presumption of innocence as well as the shooting being justified can be true at the same time.

The police are trying to convince the public that he did it so they can make a show out of punishing him to deter future acts against the rich, we shouldn’t do part of their job for them.

I think it’s originally from Red vs Blue

Who? The shooter or Luigi? Until proven otherwise, they are two separate people.

I think… I think he meant the suit suit, not the skin suit.

I think.

He’s not going to win a third term. And he won’t be able to cheat into a third term. I’m not concerned about that.

Oh buddy, haven’t you been paying attention? Disenfranchising voters and rejecting unfavorable election results has been one of their biggest priorities.

Of course not, that’d be ridiculous.

It’s called the FSB nowadays.

I don’t really understand how Embrace, Extend, Extinguish is relevant to this, would you mind explaining?

You sure you don’t mean a gallon of PCP?

Both houses of which are under Republican control. So you’re only going to argue details instead of actually responding to the content?

First: The commander-in-chief doesn’t control the military?

Second: Even if he didn’t, how would that matter for Ukraine? Removing both their support and the sanctions on Russia would still hurt them a lot.

Wasn’t Fox News started specifically to ensure that wouldn’t happen again?

The damage to the environment will never be undone. The US will double-down on emissions and most other countries in the world will stop trying because they won’t think there’s any point anymore.

The country with the biggest military of the world, who they have received a lot of support from, just elected a president that supports the dictatorship committing crimes against humanity in their country. Do you not see how that is problematic?

I think Biden still believes that things can swing back in the midterms or next presidential election. I don’t think he realizes that this might have been the last election that was possible to win.

If he does something drastic, he’d probably hand even more popular support to the Republicans in general and to Trump in particular who would play victims as much as they could.

If he does nothing, it might be the end of democracy, not just in the US but in most of the world. But he will have “accepted defeat gracefully” and considering he won’t live to see the worst of it, I imagine that’s all that matters.

Edit: Just watched his speech. Nope, he thinks this is business as usual.

Yeah, great fun watching the planet we all share start boiling and ruining the future not just for our own species but for millions of others.

I would guess that she’s trying to separate the voters from the representatives, so that when someone calls out a republican politician for being racist, they have a harder time convincing their voters that she was calling them racist as well.

Right now it seems like people see their political party as their identity, there are both democrats and republicans who do it but I’d say it is far, far more common with republicans.

You can, and should, hold your representatives accountable when they do bad shit, regardless of whether you voted for them or not, and if your party starts standing for things that are worse than another party then you should change who you vote for.

It’s a long road to get back from this division in the US, but I hope there’s a future where it’s possible.

I can add that if you ever say something that you yourself think was stupid, it’s often better to just own up to it than to play it off (within limits). Something like “That was a stupid thing for me to say, I’m sorry, you’re just very beautiful and I’m a bit nervous” as an example.
