I MEAN, HE’S NOT WRONG:

KILLING COMMIES IS DEEPLY MORAL, LIKE PUNCHING NAZIS:

Especially as it’s getting harder to tell the two apart.

JUSTICE SCALIA THOUGHT BULLYING COULD SERVE A PROTECTIVE FUNCTION AGAINST WEIRDOS:

HUMAN RIGHTS AND THE RULE OF LAW CLEARLY REQUIRE THIS: Republic of Somaliland Asks U.S. to Extradite Ilhan Omar There to Face Justice. “In fact, the Republic of Somaliland shared a fascinating X thread recently exposing Omar’s family for war crimes and fraud and illustrating why the government might wish to see her extradited to their country. Did you know Omar’s father participated in the Isaaq Genocide? Why would we ever have let this family come into our country?”

Why, indeed?

STRANGE NEW RESPECT FOR FRANCISCO FRANCO:

SO I GUESS THIS MEANS GRAHAM PLATNER ISN’T JUST A NAZI AND A COMMUNIST, BUT “PRO-RAPE.” “Holy f—, how about people just take some responsibility for themselves and not get so f—ed up they wind up having sex with someone they don’t mean to?”

In posts first reported by The Washington Post, Platner responded to a Reddit commenter who wrote, ā€œThere’s always that story about the girl who gets raped because she drank too much and somebody took advantage of that.ā€

Platner responded, ā€œHoly f—, how about people just take some responsibility for themselves and not get so f—ed up they wind up having sex with someone they don’t mean to? Men and women, you make a choice to consume enough of a substance to lose your self control. So if you don’t want to be in a compromising situation, act like an adult for f—s sake.ā€

Everyone knows that only men are responsible for what happens when they are drunk. What’s funny is that Platner’s position would have been seen as common sense by everyone a few decades ago.

PEOPLE ARE HARD TO PLEASE, AND THE INFLUENCER CROWD LIVES TO COMPLAIN, AND LIVES BY COMPLAINING:
