Brings up an interesting question: Is a slut still a slut if she has no traffic? If she is celibate by popular demand? _Put your Hammer of Thor in professional hands Or just leave it alone if you’re lazy Or stick it in mud, there’s a place for your pud But don’t stick your dick in the crazy!

I think the point little pig is trying to make is that she is using the same tactics and rhetoric as Nazi’s just with a different boogie man. ---

> [@Budget\_Player\_Cadet](#): > > Law-abiding citizen murdered by a cop (who was acquitted, big shocker). During a traffic stop, the cop tells him to get his license. Castille warns the cop that he has a gun in his glove box, then reaches for his ID. The cop freaks out, gives conflicting orders, then shoots him. Another friendly reminder that the second amendment has a hidden additional clause: “If you’re white”. Like I was sayin’ … WHITE lives matter.

Oh yeah, the reality would not line up with the fantasy, and most of them actually do know that. Just as I know how reality would probably not line up with fantasy with some attractive celebrities I may be interested in. Doesn’t mean that they aren’t fantasizing. ---

As far as gratuitous sexism goes, I could insult this “person” for three days straight without having to resort to gender. But the content of the message is what needs to be addressed, and this is some seriously fucked-up shit. How many people out the in the fact-resistant hinterlands are going to believe this crock and start stocking up on Guns and Ammo? How many of their kids will die in accidental shootings? Or, more likely, steal one or more of daddy’s guns and commit a Columbine? How many agricultural dept employees will suddenly be viewed as agents of the “one world government” or the bad guys dejour? How many elected officials to the left of Attila the Hun will be dispatched? ---

> [@Evan\_Drake](#): > > Do you imagine that had Mrs. Clinton, or any other, been elected then Kim would have refrained from testing them thus ? > It’s what he does. Yes. At least, the one after the fact wouldn’t have happened. He was testing whether the U.S. would actually hold on its threat. Clinton wouldn’t have made that threat. And she wouldn’t be telling Americans to get out of the country, thus scaring Kim into thinking they need to use their nukes now, before America attacks and destroys them. We are in danger because Trump is in office, and I wish people would stop downplaying this. This is why I said what I said about getting him impeached. Even Pence wouldn’t be this stupid.
