The laws we have do not do the trick

I mean we cannot classify militias as terror groups due to freedom of speech when in intellegence briefings militias, sovereign citizens, and extremists are the biggest threat to america

We need to deter the behavior without limiting freedom of expression

So why are you so antiprogressive

Explain

We need to deter

For 4 years the gop and nra and far right internet been promoting civil war because fear works

Unanimously, huh?

Do the proud boys have a presence in Canada? Technically, they were started by a Canadian…

But it gives me a heavy heart to know that it would never happen here. If anything, I know a bunch of GOP congress people would want ANTIFA also labeled a terrorist group and wouldn’t budge unless it was, like this is the terrorism draft or something.

ANTIFA doesn’t have a structure. ANTIFA doesn’t have a leader. They’re such a catch all for young leftist that like to protest and/or burn shit and/or wear black.

Not suprised at all about a Proud Boy being a snitch to save his own ass. Do the crime, do the time, don’t take shortcuts, so much small dick energy in that group :joy:

The sad reality is that the lives of the highest lawmakers in the country are individually worth more than the average joe. Every law maker in the building that day were in powerful people in powerful positions certifying political transfer of powers. Looking at the US Capitol riot as just another riot and nothing more feels very bizarre to me. If you’re looking at a threat to the lives of the country’s most powerful politicians as the same as a threat to the life of a random person, then you’re never going to understand why the US Capitol riot was a big deal. Myself and others have explained why multiple times that the US Capitol riot was the catalyst for social media finally started taking action. Your entire stance hinges on that you appear to think what happened was not worse than any other riot.

Because progressivism is basically just a secular religion for people who think they’re “too smart” to be religious religious but still want the same dopamine hit that an old church lady gets from calling out sinners and witches. It has all the worst aspects of an actual religion and for the most part, equally untenable ideas at its core.

We’ve come full circle in our society and have come back to hunting witches and modern progressives have so much in common with church lady Christian types that it’s amazing to me more people don’t see the parallel. Some of them even DRESS like old church ladies, although I suppose the upside to progressive church ladies is that a good portion of them aren’t opposed to anal.

It’s amazing to me that you think the life of some elected bureaucrat is worth more than anyone else’s, as if that bureaucrat dying means that some other person won’t pull up to fill that seat and like said bureaucrats don’t often start as “average joes.”

With that said, you and I will never agree on anything here so I’m just going to drop it.

All this happening is just more proof added on to the pile that the stock market is not an accurate reflection of the economy. Shit is just gambling with extra steps.

I think it’s fine to drop it (others can chime in if they disagree with me) but I’ll leave it at this: in a vacuum, they are not, but in the real world and grand scope of the world, they are. If that wasn’t true, the president wouldn’t have security detail, let alone any powerful politician. The point is that they are powerful people, and if they weren’t powerful and important, they wouldn’t have been targeted by an angry mob trying to disrupt a legal and fair election. You can believe whatever you want how lives are valued, but that is not reflective of reality and the real world.

I don’t think all lives matter and I think some people are better than others, but not because of what jobs they hold. That old proverb, “At the end of the game, the king and pawn go back into the same box” applies imo.

Tulsi Gabbard: Democrats Are Trying to Turn America into a ‘Police State’

During an appearance on FNC’s “Tucker Carlson Tonight” on Tuesday, Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) discussed her claim Democrats were attempting to turn America into a police state.

She explained she took exception to comments from former CIA Director John Brennan and Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) on how they proposed to deal with perceived threats to public safety.

“This is something that we recognize that those who stormed the Capitol on January 6 trying to stop Congress from fulfilling their constitutional responsibilities, they were acting as domestic terrorists undermining our Constitution. As you pointed out in my video, those like John Brennan, Adam Schiff, and others are also acting as domestic terrorists because they are also undermining our Constitution by trying to take away our civil liberties and rights that are guaranteed to us.”

“If you don’t mind, I’d like to just quote John Brennan directly so that people can’t say I’m taking this out of context, directly, John Brennan says: ‘Members of the Biden team who have been nominated or appointed are now moving in laser-like fashion to try to uncover as much as they can about what looks very similar to insurgency movements they’ve seen overseas where they germinate in different parts of the country and gain strength and bring together an unholy alliance, frequently of religious extremists, authoritarians, fascist bigots, racist, nativist, and even libertarians,'” she added. “This is the extent that they are going to try to undermine the rights and freedoms that are guaranteed to every one of us, and it is incredibly dangerous.”

The CEO of the American Exploration and Production Council said in a statement Wednesday that President Joe Biden’s plan to ban drilling leasing on federal land is killing American jobs and emergency independence in an economy struggling from the coronavirus pandemic.

“The scope and the lack of consultation with industry stakeholders has been alarming.”

“Penalizing the oil and gas industry kills good-paying American jobs, hurts our already struggling economy, makes our country more reliant on foreign energy sources, and impacts those who rely on affordable and reliable energy,” Anne Bradbury said. “We want to be partners in our nation’s economic recovery and growth.”

The council said banning domestic production on federal land will not reduce demand for oil and gas but just make the U.S. reliant on foreign sources. It elaborated:

Less production domestically means importing more oil and gas from less regulated, unstable nations. When the federal government works with states and companies to ensure safe and environmentally protective oil and natural gas production, the results are good-paying jobs, and resources states need for vital services like public education and health care.

Reddit pissed off and caused financial trouble to Wall Street asshats?

Hard to believe that something good could come out of that site that wasn’t lewd art & pictures.

I locked in profits and got my pound of flesh while the price was at $330 for GameStop stock. Hedge funds were shorting 140% of total shares in the company. They were completely overleveraged and stupidly had on naked puts options, which is anti-risk management 101.

Discord banned the r/wallstreetbets sub for “hAtE sPeEcH”

Are any of these social media companies not completely disingenuous asshats? Like, just admit you banned them because you likely got pressured by a bunch of rich fucks who have money in your platform. :roll_eyes:

Anyone going on Fox News to insinuate that the Democrats are trying to create a police state in post-Bush America needs to be lobotomized and institutionalized.

The main reddit is under maintenance.

But there are two back up subreddits in play now.
And they all are saying the same thing:

GME and AMC…
