Professional troll and stay-at-home son.
Remember when Blackwater did a bunch of war crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan and all they had to do was change their name a few times to avoid any consequences? And by “avoid consequences,” I mean “get their executives and their families into the White House with congressional approval.”
Imagine the xenomorph from the movie Alien, except they’re vegan instead of doing chest burster shit.
Something something never believe the antisemites are unaware of the absurdity of their claims something Satyr Jeans Poll or something idk
There’s definitely something wrong with your toes, but I prefer this new color combination over your ugly, mud-grey colored feathers.
I’d point to white flight as the primary reason for suburbs (like 90% lol). As Jim Crow ended and the Second Great Migration began, suburbs started to pop up as redlining went into effect or PoC were scammed.
One of the common rackets orchestrated by real estate agencies, city councils, banks, and development companies was to offer black first-time homeowners cheap deals on housing in cities. They would collect the down payment, let a family move in, then ambush them with bullshit inspections. Of course, they’d find something wrong not disclosed before the purchase, which was then used to deem the home unsafe or get it condemned. The black family would then be evicted and the scam would repeat.
Real estate agents would then go around to neighboring houses and say “Look what happened when those blacks moved in! They trashed their house! Your property values are at risk if another black family moves in. Sell your home to us and we’ll make sure you get a good deal.” They’d repeat the scam again with another house, so now you have multiple houses where black people are moved in, their money taken, then evicted.
Eventually, the whole neighborhood would be black and the homes sabotaged and flipped so many times the houses were no longer worth holding onto. Whoever was the most recent owner was left holding the bag. At this point, white families moved out of urban areas into newly developed suburbs. They created de-facto segregation while making money the entire time. City officials got kickbacks to look the other way as financial institutions ravaged neighborhoods.
This was one of the topics that comes up when discussing reparations. Most of these families may not be able to prove they’re descended from slaves, but they can prove how they were given bogus mortgages and had their entire life savings wiped out. Not to mention, redlining still occurs today, where PoC are denied home loans despite their good credit. And of course, the reactionaries obfuscate what these court cases are about, saying people are just looking for handouts based on being black.
I like both the original and Metallica versions of the song.
Didn’t Fox News run a segment blaming Obama for 9/11? Or am I thinking of the Tea Party?
I knew I was forgetting more lmao
The '90s were only good for people too young to pay attention to what was happening in the world or too rich to care.
They’re lucky someone didn’t walk into the store, see a guy pointing a gun at people cowering on the floor, then open fire with a real gun, thinking they’re saving the lives of three people. Like holy shit there’s so much that can go wrong here. Especially if some cop saw this going down and decided this was the perfect time to spray and pray a store.
Holy shit I forgot about these. They were so tasty q_q
Reminds me of the TMNT turtle pies and Surge soda.
He was trying to explain something about how it’s “normal” for young gay men in their early 20s to have relationships with older gay men and to refer to those men in their 20s as “boys.” One of the people he was interviewing with mentioned it’s fucking weird to be in 20 year age gap relationships, even if they’re casual, regardless of gender or orientation. Milo then made the “joke” about being sexually abused as a child being a positive experience since it made him better at sex.
It’s not as bad as you’d think, since he wasn’t outright saying “Adults should be allowed to have relationships with children,” but it was vile enough to end his pathetic career. Regardless of what his life has been like, it’s a really gross thing to joke about or even hint at being okay. The right went ballistic anyway and the left was happy to see him gone.
Weird how it’s freedom of speech when nazis run people over at their Klan rally, but an existential threat when anyone left of Bush says we should maybe stop killing homeless people and children. Really makes you think 🤔🤔🤔🤔
You mentioned most of what I was going to, so I’ll also add Somalian Civil War, Sierra Leone Civil War, Rwandan Genocide, First Congo War, the start of the Second Congo War, the Dot Com Bubble, repeal of Glass Stegal that led to the 2008 Recession, the Blood-Crips feud, Columbine, University of Iowa Shooting, Westside Middle School Shooting, Thurston High School Shooting (AKA the Kimp Kinkel Shooting), Lindhurst High Shooting, Pearl High Shooting, Heath High Shooting, Frontier Middle School Shooting, and the BTK Killer was still active until at least 1991 (possibly longer as he wasn’t caught until 2005). Also a few dictators acting as US puppets. And all the awful shit going on in the wake of the USSR’s collapse, including Russia and Ukraine.
sigh
Yeah…she laughs her ass off at those, too.
They get paid like $0.10 / hour and most of it gets spent at the commissary where essentials (like toothpaste and soap) are sold at normal prices you see outside of prisons. It’s deliberate so the prison can make money off their inmates while making sure a black market exists they can use to justify cruelty.
I’m preaching to the choir, but it’s frustrating how liberals don’t understand the 13th. Ammendment.
I’m on bad terms with most of my family just for calling out racism when they do it in front of me. I’m so ready to be done with them and cut them out forever.
I could also have a personality disorder, so who knows lol
Not to mention the judge not allowing them to show his social media posts about wanting to shoot people or tell the jury he beat up a girl at his school.
I see you’ve met my mother.
We need to shut down private schools until we can figure out what the fuck is going on.
