Do you remember watching Sesame Street with the song " One of these things aren't like the others, One of these things are kinda the same"

This issue is going to be all over those Florida primaries.

Its easy to sit up here in Canada and talk shit about violence, and its another thing to be living it.

this isn't what the world is coming to, it's what the world has always been. What the world is (very slowly) coming to is an awareness and an acceptance that these things which are so appalling are more common than we've ever thought. People are slowly being willing to see that which they've always preferred to just sweep under the rug and ignore.

Some day, pigs, you will make a statement that is relevant. Keep working on it. I believe in you.
Some day you will post a meme that actually reflects reality, but I am not holding my breath waiting .

tu quoque fallacy
It's Latin for "you too."

Thus, if you ask "Was it wrong for Trump to hump a porn star while his wife was pregnant?" instead of addressing the question of whether it was wrong, the cowards will simply squeal "Your side did it too!" Dodging.

The appropriate answer is Stephen from Braveheart: "The Almighty says to quit changing the subject and answer the focking question."

But unlike Wallace's men, the cowards won't.
