So because the majority of voters voted Republican the parents who lost children deserve no empathy from you, even if you don't knwo how they voted.

This is a shit take. Everybody who lost a child deserves empathy, period.

"Minorities" are actually dangerously close to becoming the majority in most White/first world nations.

That kind of lies.

At the time of the 2021/22 Census, 16% of people in the UK had been born abroad – a total of around 10.7 million migrants. Although the foreign-born population has increased further between 2021 and 2024, no reliable data are available for later years.

But they are giving the context in which he says it.

The story came about as he was discussing his uneasiness for looking at blood, which prompted him to recall the incident.

And I wouldn't call it cherry picking if an article that says: Here is a bad thing Trump said in an old interview is quoting, well, said bad thing. In Context.

I mean, you are right about what they did. He said a lot of stuff and they represent the things that make him look bad. Doesn't change that he said them tough.

I was saying, 'Get that blood cleaned up! It's disgusting!' The next day, I forgot to call [the man] to say is he OK.

It's just not my thing

He paid 44 billion for twitter. He could pay the legal fees of every American for a year and it would hardly dent his wealth. It's obscene how much money one person can have.

I play with Mods, unfortunately. It's the one thing keeping me back atm.

The woo doctor says there's fairies in the garden and unicorns in the forest, and never shows them to me. The biologist says there's birds the size of your thumb that flap their wings so fast they become a buzzy blur, and there's huge winged creatures that fly through the ocean called "Manta rays." He shows me pictures and specimens of both.

This sounds so much like a writing prompt.

Old cars must have leaked more frequently without it breaking them, because I can remember oily puddles under parked cars quite a lot from my childhood (which was in the 90s).

I know we don't do I objective viewpoints point on here, but there is a difference between thinking that it is okay to do blackface in the context of a movie or a play and accusing Harris of pretending to be black.

I don't agree with either of those points, but it's silly to pretend they are the same.

Yep, it's just the new talking point from their supreme leader. It was "Sleepy Biden" before, now it's "opportunistic race swapping Harris" (he is better with stupid names so he might come up with something more catchy, but that is the general direction).

They will gobble it up like all the shit they parrot all the time.

It's a dirty joke. You'll get it in a couple of years.
