Republicans: “We have learned nothing from prohibition and refuse to try!”

This is not normal behavior. This person is a sociopath and society needs to know who he is.

I wish people would stop throwing clinical terms around like this. Socio/psychopathy is a complicated psychiatric disorder with distinct behavioral and psychological markers, not a synonym for “evil.”

Sadly, you don’t need a psychiatric disorder to engage in despicable behavior. “Normal” people are quite capable of being racist, sexist douchebags, and most racist, sexist douchebags are not mentally ill. Bigotry is a product of culture, not abnormal psychology.

I don’t think this is a particularly bright segment of the population we’re talking about here.

Because it’s what makes us better than him.

Criminals don’t care about the rule of law. Does that mean we civilians should just execute shoplifters in the streets without trial or due process?

What are you talking about? He got SCOTUS to say everything he does as president is legal, remember? He’ll never do time for anything.

No! They’ll steal our jobs!

Catholic Church = Child Molester Haven.

Pretty simple.

He’s going to get accidentally sent to El Salvador.

So, you’re okay with a whole bunch of people who have no problem with vaccines die because they live next to anti-vaxxers?

Wow, so noble. You really are a moral person and not some idiot wanking your anger boner on the internet.

Because American Trump voters evidently have the cognitive skills of a fucking sea sponge.

FTFU.

I’m curious: the person you replied to didn’t say they were comparable, so why did you feel the need bring it up?

In my experience, people who point that out when no one has made the comparison are usually insecure about an issue that affects men getting attention and potentially eclipsing the issue affecting women. Like people who point out that female victims of domestic violence die more often from their assaults during discussions about male victims of domestic violence.

You sure you wanna be that person? Try harder not to be, please.

Yeah—personal preference. As in, not the preference of the fucking parents.

Thank goodness religion is fake bullshit.

Specifically, many believe her to be perpetuating fraud by demanding money from her followers in exchange for specific acts of prosperity provided by God (and even to ask God to smite your enemies).

Sounds like the Prosperity Gospel to me.

They’re not “trying” to do this, they’re doing this because the tariffs increase the prices they have to pay to get their goods, so naturally they need to increase the price they sell said goods to consumers so that they can turn a profit and continue to exist as a business. This is not, was not, and never will be that hard to understand.

“I’m makin’ money and I don’t know the people around here, so fuck 'em!”

This is, sadly, the reasoning at the core of the problem in the heads of the people who know about the problem but choose not to do the right thing. They may rationalize away the cognitive dissonance of knowing they’re likely harming others and not wanting to think of themselves as a bad person by making up various excuses, but the truth of the matter is that human beings make decisions more based on emotion than reason, and most people are going to feel stronger feelings about the things that affect them and theirs than things that affect complete strangers. Our psychology—like most other aspects of us—evolved to function in small, tight-knit communities. We are simply not adapted to live in societies as large as we’ve created.

It’s almost like ICE is just a bunch of White supremacists. 🤔

So at what point does this fucker get charged with treason?

Too much trouble to check the article, huh?

Oh, no, I’m not under that misapprehension; I do not expect Trump or his cronies to cede power. I just want as many of his voters from last year as possible to regret their votes, purely for schadenfreude purposes.
