He’s not pretending.

It was enough of a Nazi salute for the head of France’s far-right party, who are Nazis, to cancel his planned speech.

He has almost no filter and I think if he was a secret KGB operative, that would not be a secret by now because it would have just come out at random at some point.

He’s extremely malleable, loves rich people and authoritarians, and will agree with almost anyone who kisses his ass. So it’s pretty easy for Putin to just wrap him around his little finger.

No trans person has ever done anything bad to anyone I care about.

All Republicans have.

…and other ridiculous things libertarians say.

“I wish to buy something that tells everyone that I’m richer and better than them.”

Later…

“Waaaah! Everyone’s being mean to me because I’m telling everyone I’m richer and better than them!”

Gender is real, it’s just a human construct. But that doesn’t make it any less real than, say, Italian is real despite it being a human construct.

Yeah, but the price of eggs will be going down though, right?

For those who wish to know the salient details of this clear miscarriage of justice:

Bowman, imprisoned for more than half his life, was convicted of the 2001 killing of Kandee Martin, a 21-year-old childhood friend. He has said he did not kill her and that he refused to accept a plea deal because of his innocence. His attorneys said the evidence used against him was not reliable: the primary witnesses implicating him were two men also charged in the crime who received reduced sentences, and a third man who had pending charges in a separate case, which were subsequently dropped.

His lawyers also argued that the state had withheld evidence casting doubt on the witnesses, including a memo outlining a claim that one of the witnesses had confessed to the shooting.

Bowman’s legal team also argued in a recent petition that the lawyer who represented him at trial had been “infected by his own racism”, writing that the lawyer pressured him to plead guilty because he was Black and his victim was white.

Even if he was 100% guilty of the crime, he did not in any way get a fair trial. By any measure, this was a miscarriage of justice and he should be alive today.

Mark my words- queer people will be next.

Yes, well what do you expect from people who think it’s a disease that can be cured (often with quack shit like bleach)?

I understand that parents find parenting an autistic child difficult. I have a high-functioning autistic child and that is difficult enough.

But they are just giving these people false hope. Autism can’t be cured, just like many other ways people can be disabled. No one seems to be talking about curing Down’s Syndrome.

A lot of this shit comes straight from Autism Speaks, by the way.

Just in time for a Trump pardon.

I’m kind of amazed any time anyone in America feels guilt or shame or regret based on their actions at this point, but especially Trump’s fans.

To quote a former Supreme Court justice and asshole, “I know it when I see it.”

Please note that Elan.school is an incredibly difficult read and could very much be triggering if you went through other kinds of trauma as a teenager.

Thanks. We’ve been to some cons in the U.S. and she does like them, mostly for the cosplay, but it hasn’t been a way she’s found anyone to befriend, but maybe it will be different over there.

That is super helpful, thank you!

By coincidence, a friend just posted this elsewhere:

Are they usually remotely unlockable by the car company? Because that sounds bad.
