  • There it is, ladies and gentlemen, the dumbest take off the day.

    Even before Trump became the blubbering mess he is today, we’ve had 4 years of seeing him welch on every promise he’s ever made. Why should anyone believe his campaign promises now?

    Why, just a few days he vowed to use the United States military against citizens he doesn’t like, such as Nancy Pelosi, which is patently illegal and gross. Imagine if Obama, Biden or Harris had said that at any point, you’d be up in arms!

    You’ve let his propaganda convince you that he’s on your team, so now you have to win no matter what, even if his policies are directly against your interests and freedoms as a human.
















  • That’s a strawman fallacy, I did not say that. I did not make that argument.

    He got lucky in doing something which is prohibited for a very good reason.

    I can train for years to be a good air traffic controller. If I one day decide to have a plane take off from a runway while another is landing on it in the same direction and nobody notices or dies, I am still lucky despite all my training. Rules, especially safety rules, exist for a very good reason. They are written in blood.

    Arrogant people defy such rules because they believe themselves to be better and other people suffer for it. The fact that this one person may have been lucky and succeeded makes no difference to the fact it should never have happened. It’s like looking at lottery winners as if they’re smart people for having sun the lottery and ignoring all the similar people who haven’t won but lost.

    If I’m a trained electrician and I have no fuses on me, so I just stick in a piece of metal, it may work. People might live in that home to great satisfaction until it is torn down, none the wiser. But it’s not right. Because I’m taking unnecessary risks with their lives. One small oversight, failing appliance, or accident-prone cat and people will die in that house fire.
