They will just declare that Republicans won all the elections

One of the first things the Nazis did was go after educators professors and colleges…

Do you base that racist assumption

You think its racist to be aware that most terrorism is from white conservatives?

on anything other than your own prejudices?

Its based on data mostly, I know you probably aren’t familiar with the idea, but it is possible to use past historical data to inform yourself.

Edit: Oh, your just a Nazi

The rape is the point, concentration camps are designed to torture people, rape is part of that.

Wait, you mean the worlds most corrupt billionaire was just…doing a pump and dump? Who could possible have seen this coming.

American culture might as well have been designed to create drug addicts very very quickly.

Religion teaches people to have no bullshit meter, and have no basis for understanding if something is true or not, schools bend over backwards to accommodate shit like creationism. On top of that, we actively encourage other kinds of pseudoscience, and generally give kids 0 ways to tell if something is pseudoscience.

Pharmaceuticals are such a big business, that its basically impossible to put real limits on pharmaceutical companies, and so they are encouraged to train kids to take pills as often as possible, for any reason. And kids have no training or education in how to spot or defend against pseudoscience (kids are explicitly trained to accept pseudoscience).

Since Reagan, the gap between the wealthy and everyone else has been growing steadily, wages stagnate while the cost of everything goes up every year, inflation erodes the power of the middle class regularly, the country actively encourages predatory business practices, pushes kids into college debt that is more or less untenable.

Toxic masculinity is all over the place, telling kids to not talk to people, making men lonely, taking money for endless supplements that are supposed to give you a bigger dick, or make you more “vital” or improve your mood or w.e. Toxic masculinity also treats addiction as a personal failing to be ashamed of, instead of something to be treated, and teaches that mental health problems are a personal failing, not something to be treated.

Weed was demonized so heavily (mostly at the behest of the alcohol industry) that basically everything wound up at the same level. And then somebody takes weed, and they go “well, weed isn’t so bad, in fact, its kinda nice” and then turn around and wonder if what they gold told about harder drugs is as much bullshit as what they got told about weed.

Alcoholism is basically a way of life for large parts of the country, and its glamorized, protected, pushed on kids etc. Same with smoking.

Most addiction rehab is just pushing religion on people, very few have actual councilors. Rehab centers are such a big business that they actively encourage people to get addicted again so they can get more money to not treat them.

Kids are often abused for being gay, being trans, being bi, often by their parents or members of the church their parents make them go to. Many are kicked out of their homes, or sent to be tortured until they can pretend to be straight/CIS.

So you have kids who have no idea how to tell if somebody is selling them a bag of lies, who are trained to accept psuedoscience, who have been pushed to not listen to doctors, who are drowning in debt they cant get out of, who have had alcohol pushed on them from an early age, who have basically no prospects for the future, who have had pills pushed at them hard their whole life, whos parents are almost certainly addicted to either smoking or alcohol or harder drugs, who to rehab and aren’t actually helped. Kids with mental disorders go untreated, kids are kicked out of their homes or tortured into pretending to not be who they are.

Its not really surprising that we have so many new addicts every year.

Standard conservative white terrorism at a guess.

Edit: Texas_Hangover is just a Nazi trying to ragebait.

This is 100% by design.

Republicans wage war against education because educated people don’t vote Republican

There have been droughts before, but the Colorado Basin is not typically in drought conditions.

The current drought is the worse we have had in 1200 years, the last time we can find a worse drought we had to invent a whole new way to determine water levels so we could get data going back 1800 years.

There have been droughts before, but all the data we have says that the current period would be dry, but not critically so…except for global warming.

Its really not “normal”, global warming has caused huge shifts in how snowpack is put down, and how aquafers are (not) being recharged, as well as hotter temps driving a huge change in rainfall patterns, so that vegetation drinks a lot of the snowmelt that would normally make it into the river.

Its basically a way to export water internationally, alfalfa takes a huge amount of water to grow, so grow it here where the water laws are basically whoever has money wins, and they ship it out.

To be fair, if they banned the bots and the Nazis, they wouldn’t have any traffic at all.

If any of that was trustworthy, you might have a point.

Unfortunately, its more likely to just be straight lies than anything pretending to be true

Seems fine on the face of it, a vet would be better trained than a standard medic, and probably better at the kind of quick and dirty “make it work” combat care that you need to get back to a full surgeon. Improvising tools for non-standard uses is kind of their whole bread and butter, and patching up a bullet hole is the same regardless of if its in a dog or a person, at least for first-touch care.

The biggest issue I see is that the Army already has trouble getting good, well trained people, and they want to add more attempts?

So Trump decided to hold the funds to try and force the governor to let somebody who tried to help him rig the election out of jail so they could do it again?

That will pay for cleanup of like, 5 whole acres

That’s particularly ridiculous.

No, its something we learn in first responder training

Babies can drown in 2 inches of water, or people who are completely dependent on others for activities of daily living.

Or anybody who is unable to escape. Somebody who is unconscious, somebody who is trapped,

Suggesting the average person would drown in waist deep water is disingenuous

What’s disingenuous is seeing me say

“Push somebody in the canal, they fall awkwardly and could easily die. Get trapped by a submerged branch, hit your head, get trapped by silt, break a leg etc.”

And then completely ignoring it for a straw man.

Think of everyone you know; would any of them drown if you pushed them in 3 feet of water?|

If they fell awkwardly and hit their head? Yes

A person can drown in 2 inches of water, more or less.

Push somebody in the canal, they fall awkwardly and could easily die. Get trapped by a submerged branch, hit your head, get trapped by silt, break a leg etc.

This is what republicans mean by “protecting women”

She… she plead guilty.

So probably not guilty then

So… 1, 0.99, very high likelihood.

Trumps DOJ targeted her, and she pled guilty.

Both of those things tell me she is very likely not guilty.

This isn’t like an accused street criminal getting basically conned into pleading guilty because the cops planted evidence and got a false witness to make a false testimony.

This is the known to be corrupt FBI (under trump) going after somebody who looks different, for a bogeyman crime that we know they dont actually care about.

This is a person who would not be targeted by that kind of thing and can afford good lawyers.

The DOJ has been very specifically targeting exactly that kind of person. And Republicans dont care about lawyers because they dont care about the law.

She was the mayor.

ok?
