... As do I.

I hope a lot of other things happen to Sheehy that I would likely be moderated for saying, so...

Yeah. Yeah. Sue him. Press charges.

I don’t think the conservatives really understand the meanings of words

Many of them know they are using words dishonestly. They don't care. They will say whatever in the pursuit of power.

Some are just legitimately stupid and have no internal consistency beyond emotions.

I don’t think the conservatives really understand the meanings of words.

They use whatever words they think will get them what they want. Their intent is not to convey meaning or to seek truth, it's to grab more power.

"Black man dint stand for flag song" - conservatives

The math isn't mathing up....

Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.

Nice

The video is already removed here.

Fucking scum. She really nailed it when she called them robots, the cowards couldn't even watch

WOOOOAAHH that ending is absolutely horrifying. Something amazing is going on.

Oh my fucking god.

The woman audibly losing her shit was the only one with a visible conscience; the whole thing is like a demonstration of the banality of evil.

At least there was one sentient human left in the room after they removed the (also sentient) marine.

I'd far rather be the guy with the broken arm and intact honor than one of the ones who couldn't even be bothered to turn around and who just sat there silently listening, even to his arm snap, as they waited for it to be over.

If you saw some of the unfiltered news, you would agree. I have quite a few Iranian friends that are watching their fellow citizens be murdered. but we know that’s not why the USA is doing this.

Also, change Iranian to American and I’m on board. Fuck ICE.

It is true. But this war doesn’t promise relief, only hope. Ali has just been replaced by his son now.

Sue successfully? Probably slim, but there's a chance, seeing as it could be brought in the district of columbia.

Personal opinion? Fuck the entire body of sitting senators and representatives right now. If we had elected representatives who would hold their fellows accountable when they propose insane, or regressive, or asshole spewed, or corporate fucked legislation (and you can imagine whatever you'd like for how they could hold them accountable), then we would have long ago run out of or stopped sending pieces of shit in. They can all sit there and take the interruption that this marine and people like him bring to their 'business' or 'work' as congressmen. Removing him is uncalled for and they deserve every bit of their power and influence (money) being removed from them!

Legalish (I'm no lawyer, obviously) opinion? The marine was interrupting a government meeting, which means he was not welcome any longer in the building/space where the meeting was taking place, and when you are not welcome in a space the people who are allowed to be in that space can use force to remove you from said space if you do not leave (roughly... there's obviously a lot more to it than that, especially in government settings). The individuals involved in the melee here weren't using anything besides pushing/pulling, so it's unlikely you'd see much success with an 'excessive force' lawsuit. I think if they had used a taser, or a baton, or even pepper spray there would be a good, strong case to be made, because he wasn't doing anything but trying to not be moved and it would be pretty apparent to a jury that there was no call for any of those. Even punches or strikes of some kind would be more likely to win... but you'd have to make your case in front of a very sympathetic jury for what we saw to go very far in an excessive force case.

Well duh, all cops

They must have fired and replaced all the ones who were attacked on Jan 6, 2021...

Also, look how unrepentant that senator is.

Zooey Zephyr

Someone ought to go beat their asses

That was the actual disturbing part of the video.

Yeah that's the best part. If you watch the vid, it's clear that the police did most of the damage, but the senator was right in the way "helping" trying to get the "good PR" and he caught all the blame. Absolutely beautiful turn of events!

Except for the marine.... Having your hands broken for telling the truth is brutal. No one wants to die for Israel's wars of aggression.

Graduated from Quincy Senior High on a Saturday in early June 2000, and went to Marine boot camp the following Monday. Mama was not ready.

Did my one enlistment as a Light Armored Vehicle Crewman, an infantry MOS in the Corps, until June 2004.

Highlights:

-Six months on a Med Float on the USS Wasp in 2002, established a training ground in Djibouti, Africa.

-Deployed for the initial invasion of Iraq in 2003 and traveled extensively across the country.

-Made the All-Marine boxing team later in 2003 until the end of enlistment, tried out the year prior, but broke my hand in the tryouts.

Not his first rodeo with broken bones, evidently.

Yeeep.

Pretty fucking bad, I fucking flinched and wretched, had to turn it off, the first time.

Not military related, but I've got PTSD, wooo not fun not fun.

... Least it wasn't as bad as Kirk's neck.

Fuck.

That sent me into like a 3 hour long fit, had to step away and just ... try to not explode/feint for a while.

Never had anything but contempt for Kirk, but Jesus Christ that was horrific to watch.
