Trump being worse deosn’t mean we can’t criticize Biden right now as the sitting president. I have been very supportive of the need to vote for Biden over Trump, but the Democrats need to stop doubling down on denying the atrocities in Gaza already.
Like they aren’t even using nuance or anything at this point. Threateninng the ICC is absolutely ridiculous.
Trump called his own win in 2016 rigged and still hasn’t accepted losing in 2020. Of course he won’t accept the results in the next election whether he wins or loses.

Donald Trump’s problematic $175 million bond to cover his New York civil fraud appeal has raised questions about what exactly led to the rejection of his insurer’s paperwork, says a legal analyst....
The court would likely reject Trump’s bond if the paperwork is not corrected. That would mean Trump would lose his right to appeal Engoron’s fraud judgment and the $454 million would be due.
Based on everything that lead up to this they will just lower the amount and give him even more time to find someone else, because rulings and laws just don’t appear to mean anything.
The comic is trying to equate being noticeable with pushing an agenda while the person literally trying to push an agenda in the form of a book into other people’s hands is supposed to be the victim. It contradicts itself.
I think their approach to team killing is part of why the user base is so forgiving of team killing.
It is included in the training and baked into the game play by having generous respawn limits. There are jokes about it baked into the promotional materials. Everyone expects to be team killed on accident, so people tend to assume any team killing is accidental. People who might otherwise team kill on purpose will either get their fill through accidents or will not get immediate reactions that feed their trolling.
So by keeping the team killing in the game they have also defused a lot of possible trolling while also having people just accept it as part of the game, especially when non-player initiated features like turrets and backpacks are the worst offenders for team killing.
Finding it funny is a great approach, kudos to the devs.
The murder of Freddie Gray. The cops knew that what they did was dangerous because they have to clean up car accidents. Choosing to give someone a ‘rough ride’ is premeditated murder or attempted murder and anyone other than a cop would be charged.

Moronic pro forced birthers didn’t understand that putting a ridiculously low time limit to decide means women will need to make a decision faster instead of having time to think it over.

She immediately pointed a finger at “billionaires spending millions to rig this election.” That claim resulted in a brutal social media backlash from many who were happy to depict the congresswoman as a graceless loser.
I still don’t get why rural voters latched onto a clearly narcissistic big city property developer who lies constantly and treat rural people like shit as a response to big city politicians who rural voters think lie constantly and treat rural people like shit.
Just because he said words they wanted to hear? Politicians do that all the time! How is he the one they believe?
All the points in the article are accurate, but it just doesn’t make sense that the personification of everything they hate about cities is who they end up worshipping.
