    Given how nigh impossible it is to put a dirty cop behind bars, they're kind of right.

    They didn't come by this belief in their own heads, the judges told them by their actions.

    One of my children, to spite me, has taken the position that they don’t like cheese.

    EXCEPT on pizza.

    And even then only melted cheese.

    Like every time I order pizza they yell ‘MAKE SURE YOU TELL THEM MELTED CHEESE, I ONLY WANT MELTED CHEESE’… ‘YOU DIDN’T TELL THEM MELTED, YOU JUST SAID CHEESE, TELL THEM TO MAKE SURE IT IS MELTED CHEESE!!!’

    Boise State set up vaccination booths at the first two football games. I gather a few dozen people took them up on it, but every shot is better than nothing. I have an appointment for Sunday morning to get my Pfizer booster.

    My younger son only liked shredded cheese. If I was making tacos or salad or ... anything with shredded cheese, he would come running as soon as he heard the cheese shredder. He would hide behind things until I turned my back, then he would sneak in and grab a handful from the bowl .... He was like 3 or 4 at the time.

    You should threaten him with a pizza with hard cheese when he's bad.
    And not slices or shredded, cubes of cracker cheese.

    Remember that Little Caesar's ad from the '90s with the baby and the rubber cheese?

    Sure it was funny, but how was that supposed to make their pizza look appealing?

    Hmm, can't believe it took this long to occur to me...

    One of the big NRA gun-nut talking points is that Nazis had gun control.
    Storm used to spew it.
    Now he's a Nazi.

    How do these raving dipshits reconcile that their ideal government would ban guns?

    Well, I guess the clue is that when the Black Panthers started to arm up, Ronald Reagan was suddenly for gun control.

    It's not about liberty for everyone, it's about white supremacy being able to arm itself for its revolution, then once they have the power, they take guns from the darkies and the commies.
    They'll be SS officers, so they'll have government authorized firearms.

    All these "libertarians" going Nazi is finally confession that libertarianism doesn't work.

    These are your choices.
    -Socialism with racial equality and democracy.
    -Socialism with white supremacy and dictatorship.

    Libertarianism isn't on the fucking table.

    I wouldn't say that logically follows.

    What seems to be the case rather is that people like Storm were much more attracted to the fuck you part of FYGM.

    That's the bitch of libertarianism.
    Even if you're a non-Nazi libertarian, you're not gonna lift a single pinky finger against the Nazi ones.
    And then you look Nazi.
    Y'think they would have figured out something for that.
    But they can't even crack the "but what about when your pollution floats onto the next guy's property?" paradox.

    It is interesting, now that you mention it, that it seems like Internet libertarians rarely give Trump/Republicans the pasting they deserve for raising the debt/deficits, military adventurism, somehow both simultaneously not using either government or private sector resources well in dealing with issues such as the pandemic, police misconduct, voter suppression, racism, etc. I don't think name Libertarians or pundit Libertarians do much better with a handful of exceptions. Like the guy from Reason who does a lot of writing about police misconduct seems to go beyond FYGM (which I assume is an acronym for "Fuck you, got mine," in which case, genius)

    Most of Wordforge’s “progressives” have assured us that debt doesn’t matter, so Trump having increased it is meaningless.

    I'm no progressive, but the Trump presidency convinced me the Republicans always talking about "fiscal responsibility" was always a bunch of hot air. Now that they're trying to pivot back to that in order to block the Dems won't fly with me. Everybody sees that the debt is a meaningless issue to both sides unless it can be weaponized.

    Karl Popper disagrees. I’m not sure his solution is right, but it’s far from nonexistent.
    The dumb ones haven’t, no, but if you don’t want others to judge your ideologies by their worst adherents online (tell me how great the tankies are, and what size blade is most effective on a guillotine, and how defunding the police actually does mean defunding the police according to those who came up with the slogan despite the excellent job of sanewashing the concept lots of liberals have done), maybe you shouldn’t do the same for those you dislike.

    Or in other words, like I’ve said for years, debt only matters when the other party is in power.

    Maybe, but in my experience, the Democrats have never labeled themselves as "The party of Fiscal Responsibility". They want to raise taxes and increase spending. In the previous presidency, the Republicans were all about slash taxes and increase spending. Which philosophy do you figure leads to more debt?

    No, most have pointed out the debt which generates economic activity can effectively pay for itself.
