What is with all the russian propaganda on this page recently? (6)

Funny memes and different views are Russian propaganda? Got it (-7)

I know this is difficult for conservatives, but two things can be true at the same time. It's entirely possible to separately sympathize with Ukraine's repelling back Russian invaders, and also hate Trump for being a draft dodging coastal elite. (20)

Ukraine is not innocent. It's not to say Russia is,. obviously, but Ukraine has done some messed up things and helped Biden in his money schemes.At the end of the day, we should be trying to establish peace. And that could have been done ages ago, but Europe and America at the time told them not to. (-7)

You stand with Russia though, right? (1)

I stand with America.Not wanting a stupid war to continue and not wanting to escalate into a near-peer conflict directly with Russia over a country that nobody cared about until 14 seconds ago is not standing with Russia.If Russia didn't have nukes, they would probably have a whole lot more American freedom than McDonalds right now. But they do have them, and the people dying on the front lines for both sides are conscripts. People are forced to fight. I stand on the side of not fricking funding that. At least I know when I signed up to be in the US army, every person I served with also chose that life, and I sure as shit aint interested in escalating a conflict that risks entangling them and potentially people like my nearly adult nephews into it for Europe, which is not very close to us, especially when they are not willing to commit more than us to protect themselves. When they don't hold up theit part of the alliance and take primary responsibility for their own defense on their ... (1)

I'm sure this will get the jimmies rustled beyond belief, but for one second, just stop worrying about being labeled some bullshit term, and actually think about this. Option 1: Continue hemorrhaging money to Ukraine (we've given 114 billion euros; the next most generous country is Germany with 17 billion euros) or engaging in war with them against Russia. Guess who Russia is going to partner up with? China. Guess what that kick starts? World War 3. Option 2: Stop being so sensitive and hateful toward the president. The left honestly hate Trump more than they love America, and it shows in the media, on here, and in every city. He does come across as an butthole, sure, but Ukraine giving America mineral rights is giving Zelensky what he wants: America's guaranteed security. Think about American workers mining in Ukraine. Let that marinate in your mind and say, "Would Putin really be more apt to bomb Ukraine and risk killing Americans?" No. No, he wouldn't. And is it really bad asking ... (1)

Also I always hate how people hide behind this "I just want the killing to stop" yeah we all do.. but not on an agreement that benefits no one but the aggressor. Guess what? I think fighting for the sovereignty of your country is a good thing. I would HOPE that IF put in the same situation as Ukraine. These same Americans wouldn't just bend the knee at the sign of a tough fight ahead. (2)

Offer a realistic plan where Russia concedes territory and no more soldiers die.If you can't, then shut the frick up, real life is not a movie, nobody wants to fight to the death just to eventually lose. (1)

Sigmon chose a firing squad after concerns were raised about previous lethal injection executions in South Carolina. Inmates required twice the dose of pentobarbital, and one inmate "died with his lungs massively swollen with blood and fluid," akin to "drowning," according to an autopsy report cited in court documents filed by the defense last month.

South Carolina restarted executions in September after a 13-year pause caused by the state's inability to procure lethal injection drugs. A shield law allows officials to publicly withhold details surrounding where the state sources its current supply of pentobarbital.

Richard "Peepee" Harpootlian, a former prosecutor who handled death penalty cases, introduced the firing squad proposal when he served in the state Legislature in 2021. He said he "wrestled" with pushing for the method but found it "less barbaric" than the electric chair.

"I don't relish the idea of somebody being shot to death, but if they're going to die, this is an alternative," Harpootlian said.

The state has released some details about how it plans to carry out the firing squad execution; the last one occurred in 2010 in Utah, the only state that has used the firing squad since the Supreme Court ruled the death penalty constitutional in 1976.

In South Carolina, three Department of Corrections employees will make up the volunteer squad, officials said. They will fire rifles, each one loaded with live ammunition, from behind a wall about 15 feet from the inmate, who will be seated.

Before the shooting, the inmate will be allowed to make a last statement, then a hood will be placed over his head and a target pinned over his heart. Bullet-resistant glass separates the execution chamber from another room where witnesses, including media, will be permitted.

of course soyboys are crying about it

Deborah Denno, a professor at Fordham Law School who studies the death penalty, said execution by firing squad remains one of the "least inhumane" options compared to other methods, including lethal injection and nitrogen gas, given how quickly someone can die after being shot in the heart.

Its return hearkens back to other periods in American history when firing squads were more common, such as the colonial era and the Civil War, when it was used against deserters.

"Even though [a firing squad] was used in our very first execution in 1608, we've never had this many states adopt statutorily the firing squad until now," Denno said, adding that a bill in Idaho would make it the primary execution method.

Witnesses to Utah's last firing squad execution recently recalled to NBC News the sound of rapid gunfire in the chamber and how the inmate, Ronnie Lee Gardner, appeared to flinch and move his arm after being shot. A corrections department spokeswoman said the agency offers mental health support for staff taking part in executions.

No, Democrats, these little auction signs aren't it. You're acting like Wes Anderson characters who don't understand that they're in a Tarantino movie.

I’d love to see each Dem hold a placard that reads “LIAR” and silently hold them up every time he tells a lie. (Everyone’s arms would be exhausted by the end, but it would be great.)

Okay but why? Is this really worthy of this subreddit?

The real question

And wouldn't it be helpful to include his whole name in the title if you want it to come up in searches?

Remember, mocking people for their appearance is wrong, unless we don't like that person. Then it's a good thing.

I don't even think that's how Google works

This karma farming shit doesn't even work unless you've uploaded the image to Imgur...

Yeah that'll show him, just like the 20+ other times this gets posted. Christ we're so fricked

I've seen this pic with this caption posted multiple times. Do y'all actually think you're doing community service or making a change in the world posting this pic or just farming karma?

Honestly this sub is just free karma farming lol

That's funny he looks like the average reddit political poster without a beard. I'm talking both sides before someone thinks I'm with them.

Yeah it's very ironic, Vance looks like the average Redditor

Dumb post, this never works anytime anybody ever tries it

It would be really funny if Reddit ever did what did to userscores on Kiwi Farms and made karma essentially worthless. I bet site activity would tank hard if there was no point to karma farming anymore.

Not pasting anything from the article because it's pure but they did embed this cool video that I won't watch. A 17 minute video about how to argue with people online.

What the frick is he doing? This is a horrible idea

Leftists deserve the consequences they reap

Yeah, clearly this will never be used in the future against conservatives. Free speech is free speech.

Wahhhh wahhh you are a leftist pretending to be conservative. frick off

States rights and freedom of speech means nothing?

By this clarification the Million Man March would've been an "illegal protest"

Very slippery slope

Stop being so hysterical. It will be fine.

Oh, okay. I am so relieved now!

Wow check out the Brigading.

It's hysterical. Lots of people masquerading

I se that the Repub and con Subs are cleaning House of the Leftists, Trolls and Bots.

Everyone happy with their stripped freedoms? I for one am loving it!!! But I must have kink or something cause I love the national humiliation even more. We all must have the same!!

Frick off bot

You are the bot, you Russian stooge.

Can someone explain to me what "illegal protest" means? To me any protest is protected under the 1st amendment whether you agree with it or not. Even if what you are protesting is considered "protected" anyone should be able to speak out about anything no matter how stupid, ignorant, or how evil their message is. Obviously this might be a semantical issue here, but i would like to know whats being classified as "illegal". Thanks

These protests often talk about genociding Israelis. That is illegal.

No it's not. Hate speech is protected free speech.

Threats are not free speech. I can't say I am going to kill and eat you.

The thing that makes me angry was to see liberal adults totally ignoring the Nazi like antisemitism coming from a lot of these schools before Israel even took action. I mean my God, there were videos coming out every day of unbelievable chance towards Jewish students. Assaults. Blocking them from going into schools. Liberals destroying the schools While supporting Hamas. Liberal students telling Jewish students that a lot of October 7 was fake. Nobody was r*ped. Liberal students tearing down posters of missing adults and children from October 7. I could go on and on. So yeah, Trump needs to do something about this to those type of students.

So violate their free speech?

If you want to call it that, sure.

He should just pull all federal funding from universities.

Throwing the baby out with the bathwater, China would be thrilled if we just stopped STEM funding

So what % of all funding is STEM funding?

Stealing someone's money to give a grant to your pet projects is horribly inefficient spending even if it's going to STEM. If STEM truly is worth it, people will fund it with their own investment. And it is worth it and they do invest it towards this shit all the time. It's just that people get to pick which projects they deem worthwhile and to what degree instead of a bureaucrat shotgunning money at all sorts of shit much of which is stupid, political, or both.

You're implicitly stating your complete lack of confidence in STEM with this position. Why advocate for a sector you don't actually believe can stand on its own?

Rightoids are so r-slurred it is insane.

I think its kinda racist to announce this before Kamala has announced her canidacy

!khive

foid did a solo protest in Alabama. She didn't have a sign so I'm not sure how it's a protest and not just visiting what I presume is the capital. But she did have #FDT on her shirt and someone definitely asked what it meant. She is making a difference!
