TBH I never expected the perps to be black. It will quite interesting to unpack their motives and put it into some historical perspective regarding purposeful, inadvertent or ignorant destruction by European colonial invaders in, uh… everywhere else in the world.
Wanna know how I know you only glanced at the picture?
The Onion is just on fire lately. They’re figuring out how to do satire again in the worst timeline.
It’s actually because The Onion was sold to Jeff Lawson (founder of Twilio) at the end of April. He appointed Ben Collins, formerly a senior reporter at NBC News covering “disinformation, extremism and the internet” as the CEO. Here’s what he had to say:
“My friends and I now own and run The Onion. I’ll be the CEO. We’re keeping the entire staff, bringing back The Onion News Network, and shar[ing] the wealth with staff. Basically, we’re going to let them do whatever they want. Get excited.”
Pfftt, amateur hour. You’re not a real capitalist success story until you’ve hoarded enough wealth to afford hiring a poor person to do your fork-stabbing for you.
Apparently those brainiacs with their fancy book learnin’ and expertise are useless. We must all sift through hundreds of thousands of pages of raw data before reaching any conclusions. The entire concept of career specialization is wrong! Throw it out!
Yeah, I used to run into you in r/skeptic a lot, fighting the good fight lol. And we both know the mods of that sub let it be overrun with all types of deniers and insane conspiracy theorists… But at least those trolls put a little more effort into it than just scoffing at experts.
Yeah, it takes a whole lot of misogyny for a man to look at this dude’s actions and statements over decades in the public eye and still arrive at the opinion that Donald fucking Trump respects women.
I was skimming through a reddit thread about this yesterday and it was really depressing to see how many assholes there are out there who think prisons should exist to torture inmates. Half the comment section wasn’t even pretending to believe the system is meant to rehabilitate people at all. They’re just openly applauding inhumane living conditions and looking for blood regardless of the offense. These same people would be screeching to the heavens if they were treated half as poorly as they’d like others to be treated by the system.
George Terwilliger, a lawyer representing Meadows, said he had not yet seen the indictment.
"If Mr. Meadows is named in this indictment, it is a blatantly political and politicized accusation and will be contested and defeated,” he said.
Your client tried to overthrow the results of the election and install a fascist dictator, take this talk of “blatantly political/politicized accusations” and shove it.
