So the president who is rushing to execute murderers is now pardoning mass murderers.

Trump has vetoed the veto-proof defense bill. Will Congress now vote on it again with the necessary veto-proof numbers? Curious to see what happens.

Demanding higher payments to Americans in the COVID relief bill is pretty rich. If he'd made that a centerpiece of his campaign 6 weeks ago, I could see him winning the election rather than losing. Now it's just pointlessly pointing the finger at McConnell, which I'm personally fine with. It's stupid that McConnell can single handed dictate policy from the Majority leader's chair. It's not even like a majority of Republicans are against more relief, it's just that McConnell and the 'fiscal conservatives' are opposed to just about anything unless it's handing yacht owners the funds for another yacht.

It's exactly what I was worried about when he lost. What would he do to cause chaos and sabotage the government/country in his last month? We're seeing it now: pardoning anyone he likes, vetoing spending bills, possible government shutdown, etc. He has zero incentive to behave himself as long he still has a large chunk of the Republican party cheering him on to own the libs.

With the explosion in Nashville the conspiracy election fraud crowd is at it again. Claims are being made that the explosion was used to destroy the voting machines, so central to the discredited conspiracy theory. Here is rumour control; Tennessee isn't a swing state. The results of Tennessee isn't being questioned. Tennessee overwhelmingly went to Trump. A Democrat winning in Nashville isn't an indication of voter fraud. It is completely normal for the Democrats to win in Nashville (Davidson County), but lose Tennessee as a whole. Obama won Nashville (Davidson County) in 2008, but lost the state. 2008 ResultObama won Nashville (Davidson County) in 2012, but lost he state. 2012 ResultHillary won Nashville (Davidson County) in 2016, but lost the state. 2016 ResultAnd now Biden won Nashville (Davidson County), but lost the state. When did a Republican candidate last win in Nashville (Davidson County)? 1988, George H. W. Bush. If shit is being made up (which it clearly is), why not suggest that a Trump-supporter wanted to punish the voters of Davidson County (which includes Nashville) for going to Biden - alongside Haywood County and Shelby County (which includes Memphis), and conducted a bit of domestic terrorism?

Well, PragerU is now arguing that the statue of Robert E. Lee that got taken down in Virginia should've been left up because *checks notes* Lee crushed the revolt led by "radical abolitionist John Brown".
Imagine being so reactionary that "radical abolitionist" is a negative.

Always good to see the closet facists and racists rallying on Dakka. One might have almost thought the hobby was being 'politicized' by 'those lefty SJWs' >.> How dare we and GW not want to have fascists and alt-righters in the hobby! www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/0/794924.page

Imagine being so reactionary that "radical abolitionist" is a negative. PragerU is some of the best comedy on YT, unfortunately every single comedian on there makes my skin crawl. The logical leaps they make on every topic are so horrifically bad. Their videos on feminism especially had me in stitches: 'I'm a feminist, now let me tell you how feminism and all other feminists are evil'. It has the circle jerk quality cultists of the OAN network and anyone posting the vids is a lost cause. When I was still part of a large FB political group as a moderator, there was a copy paste response textbook for almost every one of their videos and how it was wrong, that's how often Prager and his stooges came up.

Its just strawmanning the topic to death. We don't need or want 40K to change, we just want these people removed from the hobby as much and as clearly stated as possible. Arguing that those on the left are politicizing the hobby is such a dumb attack, the status quo at this moment is being defended by the very people GW put out a statement against.
The new 40K game Darktide is another cesspit of alt-righters crowing about the 'SJWs ruining the lore' because there is a vaguely Asian looking priestess character in the gameplay trailer. I don't want these people in my hobby, who the fuck does? Live and let live my ass...

That's an impressive amount of strawmen by people who yell to high heaven about logical fallacies. Jesus.

But Marxism, you guys! We can't get rid of the fascists, an ideology rooted in the natural superiority of certain ethnicities/cultures, unless we also get rid of the Marxists, an idelogy rooted in the universal equality of humankind which calls for the destruction of insitutions of inequality such as class structures, too!
