10. Don't copy entire article in your post body

Honestly, to me, that is less insane than campaigning that you will push for taxing unrealized capitsl gains. Neither move the needle for me tho I'm still voting Harris but this tax proposal shit of hers is flat out the dumbest shit I've ever heard.
To be fair, he probably meant that only cops should be allowed to use violence with impunity, certainly not the... wink wink nudge nudge... "urban people".
People already become cops to indulge in violence without repercussions.
Crime is going down, let's purge to bring more attention to how crime is going down and my idiotic rhetoric makes less and less sense.
People are voting for this...
To be fair, most people don't follow current events, understand how to parse statistics, or know what political ideology" means.
If they actually did that it would probably start a second civil war for the USA, right? Good luck, people across the pond. Try to keep your country sane
Look, Trump is going to say more and more deranged things as time goes by. This is how he ran as president, say something deranged to distract from the last thing that he said was so deranged.
I bet he's actually really upset that two people have tried to kill him, but nobody has tried to kill Kamala. He's going to say more extreme things, get closer and closer to the line, try to give people more upset.... This is how he owns a new cycle. This is his gimmick. This is his playbook. He wants the violence, it feeds his ego.
This is all you really need to know about any of this
University of Texas law professor Lee Kovarsky said, "People confuse telling hard truths with just being a total f------ idiot."
Not enough people are shamed into keeping quiet these days, they think they’re being politically incorrect or edgy or owning woke libs. They’re really just letting everyone who knows how things work that they don’t know
The regular process would be:
have idea for easy solution to known problem
think it through
realise that there more factors at play that would lead to other problems
Trump reaches stage 1 on a good day.
He has the concept of an idea.
Plus whatever FOX happens to vomit up that day.
Also total f------ Nazi. That bit's important too.
Donald Trump: "I will literally do a Kristallnacht, and kill queer and ethnic minorities with impunity using a standing army. I want to use the police to extrajudicially slaughter undesirable citizens."
Media: "Donald Trump thinks the movie The Purge is real! 🤪 What a goofball! 🤣"
