Oh ha HA!

Sen. Mike Lee questions requirement that airlines fly empty planes amid pandemic [KSL.com]
 
Empty planes in the sky are not only an unnecessary hit on the environment, but they’re also wasting a lot of money for the airlines. What are these morons thinking?

Two McDonald’s employees were shot in Oklahoma City Wednesday after they asked two customers to leave the store’s dining area due to coronavirus restrictions that were in place.
 
DON’T LET THE COMMIES TAKE AWAY AMERICAN MCNUGGETS!  
 
 

@The Smiling Pony  
Did I ever mention how the US make me think of those alcoholics who stubbornly deny they have a problem, except their addiction is guns instead of booze?

@Patachu  
Changing his mind isn’t the point of banning him, it’s to let him know he’s being disruptive and adding nothing to the debate other than SO AND SO IS DOOMED!!!

@The Smiling Pony  
Only in America.

@Background Pony #D76D  

 
It of course takes a Republican to make an ad that has bite.

@Ereiam  
Not our fault the rest of the world sees liberty as an addiction.

@Background Pony #F6A9  
Anything taken in excess eventually becomes toxic. Freedom isn’t an exception to the rule.
 
Then again, it’s not my fault either you can’t explain that to those who, like the Sith, can only deal in absolutes.

@Ereiam  
Oh boy a Star Wars reference, that’ll prove your point.

@Background Pony #F6A9  
His first sentence itself makes a good point.

@The Smiling Pony  
There is so much dumb white trash in this country who think they can do whatever they want, and whose first response to any problem is violence.

@MethidMan  
It doesn’t though, it is as vague as me saying total slavery is toxic. Sure it is, but since nobody is advocating for it it doesn’t matter

@Background Pony #F6A9  
Great false equivalence. Nobody’s advocating for drinking bleach either, y’know (except maybe Mr. Unpresident).

@kleptomage  
And then they wonder why we have the most confirmed cases by a matter of literally a million over the next country over.

@Ereiam  
It isn’t a false equivalence, just a point that went over your head. Nobody here is advocating for total anarchy no rules only freedom.

@kleptomage  
Check out right-leaning Tumblr. They pretend those folks are just being falsely characterized so.

@Background Pony #F6A9  
And my point is that there is such a thing as “too much freedom” and that’s what American gun nuts are in denial over.

@Ereiam  
Freedom, even if it means risking the lives of other people through stupidity and ignorance.  
America: Land of the free, home of the stupid.

@Mikey  
Self-absorbed dipshits acting like wearing a mask or keeping a safe distance is tyranny have no idea what real hardship is.
 
 
@Vivace  
No thanks. I see enough stupidity without looking for it.

@kleptomage  
Mmmmhmm.

@Mikey  
They’re paranoid that it’s a slippery slope.

@kleptomage
 
I mean, they’re right. After all just look at what happened in Michigan; a bunch of drunk inbred but importantly white rednecks stormed the Capitol building waving their guns everywhere, with several even screaming in the faces of officers (the police were masked, the inbreds weren’t. In the middle of a pandemic). And nothing happened.
 
Now just imagine what would happen if those protesters did that but were black. Or if a muslim group tried to siege the government building while armed or in masks.

@Background Pony #F6A9  
And what of the liberty of the victims? I would consider death a greater infringement than disarmament.

@Ereiam  
Fine, if you want to discuss where the line is we can do it. Nobody is arguing in absolutes here. I find the rest of the world placing limits on people’s rights to be too far.
 
 
@Dustcan  
Nothing would have happened, unless you think that just because they were black or muslim means they would be violent.
