So let’s get this straight: Democrat politicians and corporations supported widespread looting and arson for months over the summer that destroyed already struggling private businesses, but a group of protestors spend a couple hours on public governtment property and it’s the end of the world? What that fuck is wrong with this country?

So... now that Trump merch is no longer profitable, Shopify grows a backbone. Convenient timing. Seems like everyone is suddenly growing a conscience now that there is no money in Trump.

If it's good enough to have access to nuclear buttons, why not Facebook/Shopify/Instagram/Twitter etc. ? Confused by what is happening in US. EDIT: "The president has supreme authority to decide whether to use America's nuclear weapons. Period. Full stop," said the Arms Control Association's Kingston Reif. A president could only be stopped by mutiny, he said, and more than one person would have to disobey the president's orders.

  I think - We know trump likely wouldn’t launch nukes, we know for sure we will ignite his base. The expected outcome of nukes is nearly zero deaths. The expected outcome of social media access is multiple deaths.

Hellboy spoke the truth. I'll just repeat it here. So let’s get this straight: Democrat politicians and corporations supported widespread looting and arson for months over the summer that destroyed already struggling private businesses, but a group of protestors spend a couple hours on public government property and it’s the end of the world? What that fuck is wrong with this country?

The truth has been flagged dead twice but let me repeat it because it’s still the truth.

  The problem with this comments is that it downplays what happened yesterday too much. Yesterday was really bad. But I absolutely agree with the overall sentiment. It's incredibly hypocritical how differently the two situations are being treated. They both should be treated as really bad situations.
