It used to slightly tweak my nose when the weaponized outrage mob on the left complained of not feeling safe. Primarily because they'd say it in response to someone doing nothing but disagreeing with them or even simply saying something they didn't want to hear. Since neither of those remotely implies impending violence, I figured they're either lying or so paranoid that they need to be institutionalized and medicated.

Nowadays though, I count it as a happy thing. Turns out it's usually a combination of them lying and being extremely fragile little pussies. That sets me up to call them out on both counts and I genuinely enjoy doing so.

      Don't worry. The pseudo-left will never support the Second Amendment except for the national guard (army of the bourgeoisie) interpretation. The army of the proletariat interpretation runs counter to their class interests.

      Revolutionary leftists support the idea of an army of the proletariat (without which the socialist era is unachievable), but I admit it's questionable whether that really was the intention of the Second Amendment. Right-wing mytho-macho bullshit would seem to indicate they support the army of the proletariat interpretation, which can involve the individual right to bear arms, but their inaction in the face of FEMA ICE concentration camps indicates that what right-wing fans of guns (and much effort in MSM/hollyweird/propaganda establishment has been expended to paint gun ownership as something only right-wingers do) really see themselves as is the reserve army of the bourgeoisie.

      Sometimes the reserve army of the bourgeoisie has differences with the bourgeois political establishment ("muh secession"), but ultimately they protect capitalist forms of property.

        Best get ready to use it, didn't you know the US government is being subverted??

        1. Obstructing Justice

        The trail of evidence starts with Trump’s attempt to get Comey to drop an investigation into National Security Advisor, Michael Flynn. When he refused, Trump fired James Comey, the FBI director responsible for overseeing the investigation into Trump’s relationship with Russia during the 2016 election. Trump made two more attempts at stopping the investigation by trying (unsuccessfully) to fire Robert Mueller, Comey’s predecessor. Read more about Donald Trump’s obstruction here.

        2. Profiting from the Presidency

        The Constitution’s Foreign Emoluments Clause prohibits the president from accepting personal benefits from any foreign government or official. Trump has retained his ownership interests in his family business while he is in office. Thus, every time a foreign official stays at a Trump hotel, or a foreign government approves a new Trump Organization project, or grants a trademark, Trump is in violation of the Constitution. For example: shortly after he was sworn into office, the Chinese government gave preliminary approval to 38 trademarks of Trump’s name. Then, in June, China approved nine Donald Trump trademarks they had previously rejected.

        And every time he goes to golf at a Trump property, he funnels taxpayer money into his family business—violating the Domestic Emoluments Clause.

        3. Collusion

        In the middle of the 2016 election, Trump’s son was invited to meet with a Russian national regarding “information that would incriminate Hillary and…would be very useful to” Donald Trump The Russian, Natalia Veselnitskaya, had ties to high-ranking Kremlin officials.

        Trump Jr. took the meeting. He said, “I love it,” when told Veselnitskaya may have had dirt on Clinton. Paul Manafort and Jared Kushner also attended.

        Federal law prohibits campaigns from soliciting anything of value from a foreign national.

        After journalists broke this story, Trump personally dictated a public statement on behalf of his son that lied about the intended purpose of the meeting.

        This relationship between the Trump team and the Russian national raises questions of whether the campaign aided a hostile foreign power’s active operation against the United States.

        4. Advocating Political & Police Violence

        When Trump gave cover to the neo-Nazis who rioted in Charlottesville and murdered a protester, he violated his obligation to protect the citizenry against domestic violence.

        When Trump encouraged police officers to rough up people they have under arrest, he violated his obligation to oversee faithful execution of the laws.

        When Trump shared anti-Muslim content on Twitter, he violated his obligation to uphold equal protection of the laws. This represents a pattern of disregard for some of the president’s basic responsibilities as defined by the Constitution.

        5. Abuse of Power

        President Trump’s decision to pardon Joe Arpaio amounted to an abuse of the pardon power that revealed his indifference to individual rights and equal protections.

        Joe Arpaio was convicted for contempt of court after ignoring a court order that he stop detaining and searching people based on the color of their skin, which constitutes a violation of their rights. Pardoning this conviction goes against the Fifth Amendment, which allows the judiciary to issue and enforce injunctions against government officials who flout individual rights.

        6. Engaging in Reckless Conduct

        High-ranking administration officials involved in foreign affairs have signaled that Trump does not have the capacity to make informed decisions in the event of a military crisis.

        Even worse, his actions could spark a needless confrontation stemming from misunderstanding or miscalculation. We see this in full effect every time Trump tweets or makes a public statement taunting and threatening the North Korean regime.

        The president may be the “Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States,” but that does not give him the right to behave in reckless or wanton ways that put millions of lives at risk. If he is unfit to perform his duties as Commander in Chief, he cannot be allowed to remain in the position.

        7. Persecuting Political Opponents

        President Trump has repeatedly pressured the Department of Justice and the FBI to investigate and prosecute political adversaries like Hillary Clinton.

        This is not based in concerns with national security, law enforcement, or any other function of his office—it is an attempted power play, plain and simple.

        There’s no question that this constitutes an outrageous and inappropriate abuse of executive branch powers and serves as clear grounds for impeachment.

        8. Attacking the Free Press

        President Trump has repeatedly attacked the concept of an independent press.

        He’s called critical coverage “fake news” and journalists “the enemy of the American people,” made threats to change libel laws and revoke licenses, and his battles with CNN led him to try to interfere in the AT&T/Time Warner merger.

        This demonstrates his unwillingness to respect and uphold the Constitution, and disdain for the crucial foundations to our free society.

        Thanks to Free Speech for People, whose white paper, ‘The Legal Case for a Congressional Investigation on Whether to Impeach President Donald J. Trump,’ served as the basis for this list.

        9. Violating Immigrants' Right to Due Process

        Enforcing its new “zero tolerance” policy, the Trump administration separated as many as 3,000 immigrant children from their parents at the southern border. This policy was meant to deter families from attempting to cross the border.

        The children and their families have been held in internment camps and cages with what lawyers call “inhumane conditions” Due to negligence, the Trump administration has no plan to reunite all children with their families, even deporting some parents while their children remain detained.

        Thanks to Free Speech for People, ‘New ground for impeachment hearings: cruel and unconstitutional imprisonment of children and their families,’ served as content for this impeachable offense.

        10. Violating Campaign Finance Laws

        Donald Trump knew disclosure of his extramarital affairs with Stephanie Clifford (A.K.A. Stormy Daniels) and Karen McDougal could hurt his chances at winning the 2016 election.

        At the direction of Trump, Michael Cohen and American Media, Inc. (AMI), the publisher of the National Enquirer bought the rights to the women’s stories and forced them to sign Non-Disclosure Agreements to prevent them from going public.

        Cohen admitted to making illegal, hush-money payments to hide Trump’s affairs in the fall of 2016, just weeks before the election. Federal prosecutors, and Trump’s co-conspirators Cohen and AMI, all say that Cohen made the payments at Trump’s direction, “in concert with the campaign,” and with the intention of helping Trump win.

        Trump is unindicted co-conspirator because he directed Cohen to “cause an unlawful corporate contribution” and an “excessive campaign contribution” by paying the two women hush money with the intent to influence the election.

        11. Threatening Behaviour

        Several threats made against Mueller, Democrats and even the country of Iran with 'obliteration'.

        C'mon, show that backbone you're always on about!

              The quote wasn't sourced, and anything so loaded with bias needs to have its sources exposed. I will note that I did not find an original source, but did find dozens of circle-jerks with large chunks of the exact same content, so just linked the nearest match.

              As to its purported truth, I'm reminded of how an airliner crash in the 1980s was reported. I forget the model of plane but I'll call it the XV-10 for efficiency.

              Honest reporters noted that in that "In its long history, the XV-10 has had very few crashes."

              Sensationalists reported it as "The XV-10 has a HISTORY of CRASHES!!!"

              [Actual stats: crash rate somewhat lower than average.]

        That's right, I'd feel the same way about any president (any local pols too) with a background in real estate development. Haven't met a developer yet that I could trust, but we've met many that said one thing (about what they were going to build or the effect on our neighborhood) and did another.

        The continuing saga of the Yellow Vests, Act V [libcom.org] (Lydia Hirsch, Jul 20 2019 20:35):

        On the Champs-Élysées, I spoke to a casseur, “breaker,”-- one of the violent protesters who have been the focus of much of the media coverage. He actually walked up to us and volunteered that he was “one of the casseurs.” He, unsurprisingly, seemed a little aggressive, but he was willing to speak and asserted the necessity of violence-- violence is what keeps a mass demonstration going, it’s the energy of it, and without it the demonstration is ineffective because there’s no real threat. An American participating in the protests told me there were two different kinds of casseurs-- les vrai casseurs, the real ones whose eyes were wild with the adrenaline of political violence, and the police infiltrators whose expressions were bureaucratically cold. He said that they sometimes went around trying to start fights with protesters, an opinion shared by a number of others. Though I cannot confirm this, what I saw made me sympathetic to this view.

      The officer, Charlie Rispoli, a 14-year veteran of the Gretna, Louisiana, police force, called Ocasio-Cortez a "vile idiot" who "needs a round, and I don't mean the kind she used to serve," referring to her past job as a bartender, according to a screenshot posted by nola.com, the website for The Times-Picayune in New Orleans. According to the news outlet, his comment was a reaction to a fake quote attributed to the congresswoman claiming that "we pay soldiers too much." Both his post and Facebook account have since been taken down.

          That particular statement actually treads might close to the line, arguably went right over it.

          It doesn't matter whether you like the Representative or not; "she deserves a bullet" could certainly be taken as a call for violence, and/or an attempt to cow her or make her afraid.

          You want to criticize her policies? There's plenty there, tear it apart.

          But if one's argument is just "I think that person is so disgusting she's not really a person, someone should just shoot her" that's a really bad argument.

          I agree with you to a point, I think there have been plenty of outrageous cases of people just being outrageously outraged for the sake of being outraged... that particular example not so much though. That's exactly the kind of bullshit that's killing this country and I think it should not be tolerated regardless of which side it's coming from or who the target is.

                It is amusing that when you goes for a serious insult you just sound silly. Stick to nonsense trolling, it really fits your image better.

                And yes, you do make yourself look bad to anyone that isn't playing the tribal politics game. You are the Trump of SN, Runaway is the Mike Pence, and khallow is Huckabee. It all starts to make sense now.....

              Tone trolling has replaced patriotism as the last refuge of the scoundrel. Taking the high road when your opponent constantly takes the low road is not a winning strategy, and neither you nor anyone else is going to tone-troll me into doing so. Sometimes you have to get your hands dirty. And yes, I'm aware of the proverb about not wrestling with a pig in the mud, but sometimes it needs to be pointed out that the other person *is* a pig, as some people might not be aware of that fact.

                    Well, that's generally how jokes work. They take one down a plausible road up to a point where it seems serious and then they suddenly shift the camera and it's a totally different scene, so to speak. That moment when serious gets flipped to ludicrous is the moment of relief that makes you laugh.

You twist and redefine words, then stick to your own bizarro-world dictionary definitions, and think your arguments somehow work in the real world. They don't. You've built yourself a tiny little toy universe, and are going around with your little sewage-filled snowglobe and telling people it's a scale model of the real thing.

            See, I understand you wouldn't know this from being lesbionic and all. While a guy's sense of humor does get sophistication and classy bits added to it as he matures, we also don't throw the old bits out. Only horribly insecure guys would even consider trying to convince themselves that Pull My Finger isn't as hilarious at 40 as it was at 4.

              Oh come on, fart jokes are *always* funny. Women are just told not to laugh at them, is all. Same as society tells us we have no libido or can't work power tools.

    Buzz I apologize as this isn't the right place but I don't know where is.

    Can you please add this link https://soylentnews.org/comments.pl?noupdate=1&sid=33046&page=1&cid=878487#commentwrap [soylentnews.org] to the dev doc notes regarding ACs? It's sincere and being ignored and I worry that these ideas might be ignored in future important decision making.

    Again, sorry for posting to your journal, I just can't find an anonymous 'send to devs' form.

      Doesn't bug me. admin@soylentnews.org, dev@soylentnews.org, and themightybuzzard@soylentnews.org all reach me and I check IRC for mentions of my name when I get back if someone talks to me there while I'm out.

      Don't worry about ACs going away or otherwise getting shafted here. Not going to happen while I'm around. If you think I'm persistent in arguments that I have in the comments section as entertainment, you should see me when it's a situation I care about and that my voice actually matters in.
