    No, I'm not.
    Nothing psychopathic about being happy that Charlie Kirk got a new blowhole

    Bear in mind that dide was Pissy Prissy about me not being sorrowful, so your pstchopath is over there on the right. He's upset because I continue to bring up the fact that he was sorrowful about Kirk's death. If Kirk's death makes a person sorrowful enough to judge other people for feeling relief, yeah, I'm going to stay on that person's unmelanated ass about that for saying so as long as I have fingers to type with.

    ???
    We mother ********ers haven't missed jack or shit.
    You're making a cumload more of those 250 than any or all of them deserve.

    lolololol, your post gets said by some twang every seven or eight years, starting with the terms of the unmelanated sonofabitch who took POC teeth for his own pretty little mouth.

    Bear in mind that there aren't five good years you can string together out of those 250. I know you've been miseducated, but even a little bit of thought would have saved you the poor reviews your bullshit gets every so often.

    Every millimeter of progress this shithole has made was made because someone protested, went to war or went to court. None initiated by the good will of the predatory race.

    Hey, you tell me!

    Please remember that it's not always want. In many cases, it's not ever want. Sometimes you don't have a choice. If your generational family lives here, that's where you're likely to be born and to grow up. Finances prevent emigration for many Black people.

    Not as simple as you might think, if you have older relatives. Your posts suggest that your parents are still both alive and not retired. When you hit your 30s you'll start to see the world in a more mature way.

    Don't let the truth get in the way of a good delusion! I wasn't particularly sorrowful. I wasn't delighted either. I don't like political violence. I didn't like the J6 insurrection and I wasn't thrilled to see CK get shot in the neck. For me, it's not how we should be resolving our differences (duh), even though I found CK to be repulsive (after the fact tbh, I barely knew who he was beforehand).

    I did. I left the country at the start of 2025 before the orange idiot's inauguration. The rest of my family, including my mother in her mid-80s, also sold her house and left the country. Not a single member of my family lives there anymore.

    edit: But let's be clear about the poll question. It wasn't asking if America was a force for good, but if it continues to be one. For the reasons I listed earlier, it clearly isn't under this administration.

    Not particularly. Oh, well, you've described yourself perfectly.
    You're not particularly human for being less than elated.

    The thing about the high road is, you have to live it. You don't have that experience. Ask me for help the next time you want to have a positive impact on the board's assessment of your character.

    Bro, you’ve distinguished yourself as the guy who thinks shooting political opponents in the neck is a perfectly acceptable way of working through our differences and we should all be elated and aroused to see the man die like that, and you want to lecture me on the high road. MF please.

    It starts with feeling safe somewhere else, being willing to trust the predator you haven't yet met. 407 years of being Black in America leads one to trust the predator we know. So we don't leave. Our history is of being slain where we stand, for fear that if we run, we will run into a worse predator.

    This explanation was unnecessary. You can stand behind America failing to be as good as it could have been were it not for the majority culture dragging their feet.

    You have a PM.

    lol @ the idealism.

    Under certain conditions, murder is an upgrade for the rest of the population. I wouldn't have sweated the murder of JW Milam or Roy Bryant or Eric Rudolph or Dylann Roof or... well, there's plenty of others. The fact that we can't go around killing everyone we don't like doesn't mean conservatives deserve to be allowed to breathe. It means the law doesn't permit it.

    I have absolutely no doubt that this country and the world are better off with Charlie Kirk dead. I would have preferred if he choked on a chicken bone instead of getting a bullet in the carotid, but the latter is what happened, and we should take the win.

    The Kirkers are still at it

    The president of Charlie Kirk‘s Turning Point USA chapter at Florida International University has resigned after leaked messages revealed homophobic language in a private WhatsApp group chat.

    Ian Valdes stepped down after the Miami Herald obtained and verified the messages, which were exchanged over roughly two and a half weeks between September and October 2025. Two people who were part of the chat confirmed the logs to the newspaper.

    The messages show participants using slurs targeting LGBTQ+ people alongside racist, antisemitic and misogynistic remarks. The conversation also included references to Adolf Hitler’s politics.

    What if he apologizes? :D:D:ROFLMAO: Are we to conclude that he's somehow no longer the "person" who said these things?

    I'm guessing the motivation for any apology would focus on being sorry for getting caught more than what was said. Safe to say no actual repentance or atonement will be forthcoming. Some people think just saying sorry without actually changing their behavior is sufficient. But then, we are even moving away from that to just not even apologizing at all (evidenced by the orange felonious pedophile and his friends and protectors).

    Yep, right on the money here. I would add only that if the behavior isn't going to change, no apology should be given. I never accept apologies of that nature, because the "people" who make them aren't honest.


    I'm interested in Clyburn's voting record. If he stands against the GOP consistently, there's no reason to challenge him.

    Except that he's 85 now, turns 86 in July. We've been talking about getting new blood into the party to be able to represent younger voters. Clyburn has a long and storied and honorable career, but he needs to step aside. Hopefully he could mentor the person who takes his place.

    You're not wrong. But:

    1) Could there be someone younger and more progressive or at least with a similar record who isn't two decades or so past the standard retirement age?

    2) If we're calling on old-as-anything Republicans to step down, shouldn't we do the same for the Dems?

    I see no reason why young voters can't vote for the people who have consistently done their jobs admirably. I didn't ask for a whelp Senator to "feel my vibes" when I turned 18. Or 28. Most people are well into their thirties or forties before they know shit from Shinola about shit OR Shinola, and the House and Senate need to reflect that instead of catering to the whims of people whose glue hasn't cured yet.

    We used to teach that in our culture, long ago. The only reason we're not teaching it now is because our capitalist shithole demands part-time workers with cars and responsibility. Kids at McDonald's working for shoes (and thinking of themselves as employed) when they should be on the field marching.


    1) There could be. What about him qualifies him for a job he's never done versus a man who's done it for decades? If Clyburn dies or shows signs of senility, that'll be the time to replace him.

    2) I don't know anything about that. I don't ask Republicans to do anything.

    He wants his daughter to succeed him. Maybe he’ll pull that trick the GOPer pulled in Montana, and a Democrat in Chicago…drop out 5 minutes before the deadline, while his successor files at the same time.

    Does anyone know if the deadline has passed?

    I may be pants-wetting again, but the 2030 census and the possible elimination of the voting rights act are going to smack the Democrats hard on the face.

    "Every single one of the 15 fastest-growing US major metropolitan areas is in the Sunbelt.

    All 15 are also in a state Trump won. Only 5 are in swing states. Dallas and Houston added an entire Wyoming's worth of people."

    Figuring out a way to win Texas would be and answer, but "demographics are destiny" has not worked out, new ideas are needed.

    So we have an influencer using an open comment section to try to profit off rage bait AND then blocks the target market.

    In another post, she wrote "horny" upside down because...I guess reasons?

    She also claims to be the most beautiful person in the world while she's also 36, hit the wall and lives in a state of "disarray and anxiety, but also Wisconsin."

    Why do "influencers" and "content creators" have to be some of the worst people on the internet?

    If you saw my 'insider view' comments about the local special election here in northern Virginia--I really do think the Democratic party has a cultural problem internally with seniority and entitlement. Maxine Waters is another example--they simply will not step aside for the next generation (unless it's a hand picked successor).

    The two NC entries on that list vote Blue. North Carolina is weird in that for governor, we’re very blue. But for senate, we’re red. Maybe Cooper replaces Tillis this year.

    Half of the rest are purple states. Texas is inching toward purple. So if the “right” people are moving in, this is good news.

    I'm not sure wearing a CCCP jersey to a pro-USA event is making the point you think it is.

    Then again, some people absolutely refused to vote for the person who prosecuted people down the horrible horrific crime of...*checks notes*... marijuana possession.

    But I bet that portion of the left absolutely loved going out today, assuming the leopards let them.

    Yup, white guy. And probably, a privileged white guy.

    But then, there's ALWAYS some unaware mouthbreathing moron who wants to work against his own stated beliefs:

    The CCCP shirt wearer, the migrants rights protestor carrying a flag of another country. The far-left turd who votes 3rd party, because he'd "rather lose, but believe in something," which only assures the far-right candidate beats the mainstream dem.


    Yes, people all have the right to all those stupid things, but they also end up living with the reality that they're actively working against themselves.
