Weird thing to say to a retired command sergeant major. I bet he didn't even intentionally cross state lines to murder someone either.

I'm Australian so being an english speaker on the internet I have an opinion on American politics because no matter how hard I try to escape it I cant. So if I have to hear about it incessantly Im going to keep throwing my half informed opinion in.

But FUCK ME is the Harris/Walz ticket well thought out. You have a sitting Dem VP who is female and a POC with a history of being "tough on crime" and a male white late middle aged former high ranking NCO veteran with a history of some super liberal policies in his midwestern home state...

The big, glaring thing they missed is that nobody really likes Harris. She did poorly in the primaries, had a terrible approval rating as VP, and her platform is basically Biden's, and he had a pretty low approval rating as well. She has "diversity hire" written all over her.

That said, she ticks a lot of boxes and Americans tend to have pretty short memories, so I think she has a fighting chance. If she had a stronger campaign when she ran for President, she'd be a lock-in. I think she needs to sound like Obama to win the election.

We are witnessing an idiot's grift. There is no other place in the world for a Rittenhouse other than prison.

I mean, absolutely fuck Rittenhouse to death, but isn't it pretty likely that a retired sergeant major DID in fact cross state lines to murder?

[–] BruceTwarzen@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

But that's legal murder. Wait, they both committed legal murder then. Nevermind

MAYBE we just don't kill at all? I don't know, I'm just spitballing.

It's not murder when it's Desert Storm
