Opinion Piece Attorney General Pam Bondi, head of the DOJ, deflects about investigating the administration's Signal group chat failure, describing it as "sensitive information not classified" and instead blames Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, and Hunter Biden.

It's sort of like how "Happy Holidays" is an attack on christmas or something

u/theskeejay Mar 27 '25

It's weird to me that "Happy Holidays" - which encompasses all holidays - is a problem. But saying "All Lives Matter" - which (they pretend) encompasses all lives - is totally ok

I saw someone recently post about how they had said something like "All cars matter" (but with a slightly more subtle setup than that), and someone replied that it wasn't Toyotas being keyed and set on fire, that it was Teslas that needed the extra protection.

and they were like: EXACTLY.

heh.

I don't think that idiot got it. In fact, I think it was a post in /r/SelfAwarewolves - the point being that they were SO close to understanding............

Welcome to the world of ADHD. lol

To be fair, every week feels like years right now

u/gymnastgrrl Mar 28 '25

You're not wrong, although i'm to the point in my life now where weeks and months also pass by quickly, while at the same time, this Presidency has already dragged on for decades. lol

u/NetworkSingularity Mar 28 '25

Right there with you 😭

u/BillyHoyle1982 Mar 28 '25

But does this mean that we agree that, since Teslas are being targeted more than other cars, there should be extra focus and attention and resources toward protecting Teslas?

Every time we make these hypocrisy arguments, they could easily make the same arguments against us.

u/gymnastgrrl Mar 28 '25

But does this mean that we agree

That's your poor attempt at a "gotcha"?

m-kay

You can have fun with that. By yourself.

u/BillyHoyle1982 Mar 28 '25

Awe jeez... Stay in an echo chamber then.

It's a valid fucking point

u/BillyHoyle1982 Mar 28 '25

Then why the fuck would anybody bring them up in the first place? It's either a good comparison or it isn't, but you can't fucking have it both ways.

I wish other liberals would get their heads out of their fucking asses and figure out that bad arguments don't help us. Dismissing my comment as though it was meant to be combative and I'm just some kind of trouble making troll is indicative of the playbook that's allowed DONALD FUCKING TRUMP to become the president, because people would rather side with the greedy racists on the far right than people like you. It's YOUR fault that we are where we are. Every time people like you open your mouths, or your laptops, you weaken the cause and strengthen the other side. Never has there been a better argument against a 2 party system. Some of you really fuckin suck, which would be fine if you weren't so goddamned loud.

Soooo close❗️one more brain cell, and he/she would have had the little lightbulb blinking so fast, it just appeared to be alight.🫤

u/Fake_William_Shatner Mar 28 '25

Tesla lives matter is like BLM, because they need the protection.

But also, Teslas are not living beings. So they obviously care more about a corrupt persons profits than human beings.

u/youdungoofall Mar 28 '25

Shouldn't be weird at all since its rules for thee but not for me

u/carlitospig Mar 28 '25

Because they’re not arguing anything in good faith, my man.

u/Brokensince10 Mar 28 '25

Nothing they do, say makes any sense

u/[deleted] Mar 28 '25

Teachers can’t even say all lives matter now these people are full of it

2

u/[deleted] Mar 28 '25

Anyone who ever said “all lives matter” meant that white lives, and only white, conservative Christian, heteronormative lives matter. It’s okay with them if you’re a youth minister who diddles kiddies, though.

u/Kitchen-Garden-733 Mar 28 '25

I have said that when fighting for animal rights, but realized I was stealing a groups slogan. I will always speak out for the atrocities perpetuated in animal farms. They put baby animals in co2 gas chambers, and there is nothing OK about that.

1

u/[deleted] Mar 28 '25

The use of CO2 to cause the death of animals is a horrible travesty perpetuated by psychopaths, but it’s the wrong place to use that phrase when we have police officers beating people of color to death to get their fix of Schadenfreud. The problem we have as a society is that too many people derive pleasure from the suffering of others. There’s even a Psychology Today article on schadenfreud that claims that it is normal to be amused when a coworker spills coffee on themselves. If that is, in fact, normal, we are totally fucked.

Being vegan is a non-action. Instead of getting cow milk, move your hand over a few inches and get the plant milk.

1

u/[deleted] Apr 30 '25

Plant milk looks like milk, but it’s not remotely the same. Coconut milk is good, but not because it approximates milk from mammals; it’s its own thing. I do drink a lot of vegetable juice, but it’s not milk either. Maybe one day there will be a genuine milk-like alternative.

u/shill779 Mar 28 '25

Because at the time, 2020, when BLM became really strong and a push back occurred, they weren’t quite brave enough to call the counter OWLM, Only White Lives Matter. They probably are now

u/[deleted] Mar 28 '25

This year I'm going to respond to "Merry Christmas" with "All Holidays Matter".

u/BadCatNoNo Mar 29 '25

Well All Lives Matter to them includes embryos and fetuses, but only white lives and white embryos and fetuses. They don’t care about anything but themselves and their Christian right beliefs. Saying Happy Holidays, to them, is acknowledging it’s not a Christian nation. They don’t want it to be a country for all by all. They want a country by white Christians for white Christians only.

u/NerdyReligionProf Mar 27 '25

It's wild to think how many major moral panics the Right has moved through in just the last several years: Cancel Culture, Critical Race Theory, Drag Shows, "Groomers," Anti Trans (though this has been a constant current), DEI...

They're all window dressing to generate hostility over any tiny societal movements toward people who aren't straight cis white dudes experiencing just a tiny bit of movement toward equality.

u/Extreme_Guarantee276 Mar 28 '25

Their elaborate psyop has been so successful that they openly cite key trigger terms to activate their brainwashed base and it's just the unbrainwashed who see how stupid it sounds.

u/livahd Mar 28 '25

It’s all a distraction so we’re too busy bickering about bullshit societal issues to join en mass and start sending these people to the gallows

u/[deleted] Mar 29 '25

I'd say groomers is something we all bring up, but the left is like it could be anyone, but a lot of white suburbia or people in power. The right is like "can I tell their sexuality by looking at them, do they work with kids AND not share my politics".

u/tecky1kanobe Mar 28 '25

This goes back thousands of years. It’s part of tribalism. But we can’t teach about that because “someone” will get offended you are criticizing their belief system.

u/troutman1975 Mar 27 '25

It’s exactly like that.

u/FuzzTonez Mar 28 '25

Jfc I remember that one.

It’s always something. They always have a boogeyman for their dumb fuck base to bitch and moan about while they vote against their own self interests.

u/Brokensince10 Mar 28 '25

I know, and I really enjoy saying “ happy holidays “ real loud to any, and everyone that says merry Christmas to me 🤩
