No charges in the Sterling killing.

 

1) No, it isn't.

2) Yes, because this is the administration to trust when it comes to whether things have a "factual basis."

 

Fuck this. What an unbelievable miscarriage of justice.

 

Seems odd to want to wear these claims around your neck, but alright.

 

People wondering why folks throw Pepsi cans at cops.

 

I can't really speak to everyone in the world. I can speak for what I saw in this thread. Now maybe there was a communication problem or a comprehension problem. I could definitely see that. I believe that my thing was it's neoliberalism vs. fascism. Those two things exist on a continuum. I guess you could say that that means they're the same, if, as I said, you don't read anything people write. But, that's all I got for you guys.

 

Love infighting

 

Everything exists on a continuum, but that's far different then saying the differences are only small or marginal or even non-existent. I think you are definitely misremembering if you don't remember people posting links to stories about how "similar" the two candidates were.

 

Hey I said that after the election!

 

Puerto Rico filing for bankruptcy

 

You may be right, because I do smoke weed from time to time, but I doubt it.

 

Me: "can we never have this conversation again? It sucks"

Also me: "I like to post millions of friends gifs captioned with provocative references to the conversation we want to stop having"

 

I mean...

 

Can you imagine Zuckerberg on a debate stage with Trump. He would get destroyed. He has appx. 0 charisma. Have you all not seen the social network, or him speak, ever

 

lol that's the same friends gif I used when wharf got mad at me for allegedly using scare quotes.

Friends gifs work with any conversation

 

I don't think that says what you think it says. Seems like an endorsement of Jill Stein. But, yeah, I do think there are similarities in terms of policy when it comes to democrats and republicans, because the center of politics is pretty far right.

 

Remember when Hillary called black men super predators in order to strengthen her husband's war on minority groups through drugs lol

 

Totally fine to argue that point, so let's stop with the "no one is saying they're similar at all" posts that keep popping up.

 

If Zuckerberg runs, I'll just vote for the Stalinist party. There's no difference between Facebook and Stalinism.
