Don't blame me, I voted for the other guy. (Politics General)

@YourPalContrail
Like you said: “no bad tactics”.

The guys pillaging Ukraine probably don’t like it when the Ukrainians shoot back, but it doesn’t mean they’re opposed to guns per se.

thats not what that means. no bad tactics only bad targets is sort of like “the ends justify the means.” basically you’re allowed to do the absolute worst, amoral things. so long as you do it to the other side.

@YourPalContrail
Right, and how does that not describe Raichik’s actions against the LGBTQ community?

I don’t like the libs of tiktok account. I just think it’s wrong to be doxxing people, regardless of their views. if I can t apply my principles to even the worst people then they aren’t my principles.

@YourPalContrail
I’m not saying you approve of it, but she clearly does. She only opposes doxxing when she’s on the receiving end.

Not that there was really any involved. Unless using basic journalism and readily available public information to figure out who is responsible for a hate account with such substantial influence over Republicans it has influenced policy decisions is considered doxxing now.

@Background Pony #A579
doxxing is posting someones name and address online. That information may have been public but it wasn’t linked to the account. That is doxxing.

@Background Pony #CE21
But it was linked to the domain libsoftiktok.us, well before the Post started poking around. A simple WHOIS search returns Raichik’s name, address, phone, and email, even now.

Important safety tip: the .us TLD doesn’t allow anonymous registrations. It’s limited to US-based entities, and according to a 2005 rule registrants are required to give their complete contact information, in case the owner of the TLD needs to verify their Americanness.

Anyway, to answer this question, it’s about the core ideas in my opinion. For example, I don’t support abortion. However, I also don’t try to control what others do and understand that there are cases where it is needed (like if it would kill the woman, especially if it’s a stillborn).

Few here fit neatly into any specific box, regardless of what others may wish to say. We have a nice spectrum, with only a couple of actual extremists.

I still remember that one moron that thought I was a radical, violent leftist who wanted to burn conservatives at the stake.

It was also amusing to see him call a corporate consultant anti-capitalist.

@Zincy
To be fair, republicans do make that tempting some times.

@Background Human
It doesn’t matter how easy the person made doxxing herself to be, it’s still doxxing.

@Goku Black
Hmm, they haven’t been around in a while, have they? Maybe RL issues.

everyone is. that’s why I call it out. I originally saw WaPo do it so I called it out. My friend on discord pointed out LoTT also did it. that’s why when I learned about it I felt obligated to mention it. I try to be consistent no matter who is doing it.

If I obfuscated that information that would make me a dishonest, immoral, partisan hack.

While discussing their plans for a land corridor to Crimea, a Russian general let slip that Moldova might be their next target.

Eastern Europe’s smallest and poorest population would stand next to no chance even against a greatly weakened Russian army.

It’s getting to the point where Russia won’t stop until they’re directly fought.

@Zincy
That’s how power hunger tends to work.

@Zincy
Looks like this crazy bitch will die for a third time:

She’s the one who was blowing the Costa Concordia captain BTW.

All jokes aside, really sounds like Putin wants to relieve the Russian Empire days…

Today’s the day. Qaren is having/has had her hearing over her treasonous attempt to overthrow our democracy.

Especially notable in that since she’s the first lawmaker to be brought forward, her case will set the precedence going forward. If she’s blocked from running for reelection, then congrats! Traitors can face a slap on the wrist. If not, then there is no laws. It’s just a thing we made up and pretend to exist every once in a while.

That over glorified Real Doll claimed “she doesn’t remember” for every question asked of her.

In one hilarious moment she claimed she didn’t remember saying that she opposed the peaceful transition of power only for the prosecution to immediately play an audio clip of her saying she opposed the peaceful transfer of power.

I haven’t heard so many “I don’t remember” or “I can’t recall” since Reagan right after Iran-Contra.

Favorite part (so far) was when she was asked about the (many) times she called Pelosi a traitor. She immediately denied it, then the prosecutor mentioned showing video of her saying it, then she was all “Wait wait wait, what I meant was…”

Edit:. Oh right I forgot. Qaren tried to push the Big Lie during her questioning. She’s literally on trial for trying to overthrow the election and she just endorsed it again.

Micheal Cohen has made an interesting ultimatum to prosecutors: either indict Trump or he’s done working with them.

A ballsy move considering, but frankly he’s got a point. Why are they still wasting his time? He had already flipped on Trump almost immediately, and has spent the last 4~ years doing everything they asked. Why are they wasting his time dragging him out of prison and throwing him back in of they aren’t gonna do anything with his testimony?

It’s the Mueller Investigation all over again.

MUST PASS SPENDING BILLS allowing anything to be put in them are basically Legal Roofies.

I don’t think “poison pill” does enough justice to describe how utterly fucking vile the nature of unrelated regulations and laws being put into unconnected bills is.

But of course, all the political ranters of the internet don’t seem to ever bring that shit up and just accept that terrible practice.

Want to know what has me riled up?

So to my fellow yanks on here, you can’t just scoff this one off as “oH tHaT sUcKs FoR EuRoPeAnS” this time around.

@Dustcan
Michael Cohen is right to be frustrated by the prosecution dragging their feet and he’s not the only one. Millions want to know why the mountain of evidence against Trump is not being put to good use.

@CaptainXtra
Tacking shit onto “must-pass” legislation really ought to be illegal.

Drunk-posting again…I will admit this…

What the hell could an actual donkey do against an actual elephant?
