    But that's how it's always worked since the invention of Democracy. You don't waste political capital on something when there's not enough public political will for it. You prepare the battlefield and wait for the political will to shift in your favor in order to make your move. Welcome to 1775. :shrug:

    Your side ignores the will of the people, our side are admittedly cowards until they have backing. Which side is worse?

    It's your side.

    You are literally enslaved to arseholes.

    Well done, you agent of freedom you. You voted for the guys who strip others of their rights, whilst we vote for folk who do the right thing after it becomes clear everyone else thinks it's the right thing.

    You truly are a bastion of justice and righteousness.

    Clap. Clap. Clap.

    Sleep sound tonight, ignoring the screams of your victims. You fucking hero.

    I caught the Robocop: The TV Series eps on Amazon Prime tonight.

    Yeah, I'm off my tits on wine and rum.

    But it's still a slap in the face to you cunts.

    A military-grade cyborg. That serves and protects.

    Doesn't kill. Unless it can't be avoided.

    And it can dodge. Oh yeah.

    Inflatable rescue boat up in your cabin, bitches.

    Is that a prerequisite now? That any legislation proposed must be something the legislator has been proposing since they were first elected?

    Yes. It's amazing how @Marso and some others keep quoting Firefly without understanding any of the things it has to say about freedom, servitude, and rebellion.

    This is a long Twitter thread, but it's a hell of a read and makes me look at some peoples reactions to the current events basically parroting the talking points that Hoover wanted established.

    If Kamala Harris is indeed a cop, I need to report some police brutality because she straight up just choked a bitch on national television:

    Yes... gun violence in America is also an epidemic.
    It's amazing that every other developed nation somehow manages not to have this.
