    And taking Dan Patrick with him, which is just as big a deal. The Lt. Governor is a very powerful position in Texas, more powerful than the Governor in many ways, and there’s little attention being paid to that. Patrick is as much an asshole as the worst of them. Sweeping Abbott, Patrick and Paxton out the door in one fell swoop is a glorious trifecta.

      Fun fact! An early source of training material for LLMs were the 600,000 internal emails the FBI seized from Enron. At the time, it was the largest source of publically available casual conversion. The only issue was that the chat bots trained on those conversions ended up sounding like rich assholes.

    I’m happy Republicans got forced to eat a humble pie.

    I’m also happy Justin got kicked out of the office and forced to fkoff out of politics.

    Justin Trudeau tried to force everyone in Canada to listen to Islamic call to prayer in public. Justin Trudeau supported zionist supremacy. Justin Trudeau made excuses for an islamist murdering a secular teacher trying to educate students on secularism and why blasphemy laws are stupid.

    Justin Trudeau is a rancid POS. I hate maple-MAGA for their transphobia and racism but I love their slogan of choice. Fuck Trudeau.

            I’m okay with delusional leftists in the West hating and laughing at me.

            Do you know what happened to the Left in Iran? Do you know what happens to blasphemers in Afghanistan and Pakistan?

            I’m not here to make you feel better about your white supremacist delusions.

              Do you know what happened to the Left in Iran?

              Yes, I do. Do you?

              Mohammad Mossadegh was the peaceful, progressive prime minister of Iran, who fought against British colonialism and for the benefit of the people. The CIA removed him from power and installed a literal monarch, who could be more easily placated with bribes to keep the oil flowing. The shah spent decades hunting down and exterminating the Iranian left.

              Mossadegh and the shah were both Muslims, both led secular governments, but one stood up for what was right for the common people, and the other sold out the country to foreign powers for wealth and power and secured that power by hunting down any perceived opposition. Look at any people, any religion, and you will find examples of both types.

              When the decision was on the Iranian people, they supported Mossadegh. When it was on the West, they chose the shah.

              Eventually, the shah could no longer maintain control, and with the left having been the main target of political repression for decades, only then did the conservative clerics come to power. But people look only at the present day, without bothering to learn the history of how things became that way, and as a result they spout all sorts of idiotic nonsense about how “Islam is incompatible with democracy,” when it was the West that suppressed Iran’s democracy and installed an autocracy.

                I wasn’t dunking on muslims nor suggesting muslims can’t democracy.

                Iran refuses to bow and they are being punished for it.

                Even though they complied with the international agreements, they still got attacked. I also don’t like the stupid fkn clerics…

                  Some of your comments make it sound like you’re shitting on Muslims in general rather than the clerics specifically. I think you’d find more agreement if you made the distinction more clear.

                  Many Western leftists, myself included, are wary of certain rhetoric because it’s primarily used by the right to justify discrimination or aggressive foreign policy.

                  I’m no fan of Trudeau (and I’m not Canadian), but I’m not really sure how the whole Muslim call to prayer thing is problematic, for example.

          “he did” did he now

          Just like he eroded your healthcare and quality of schooling

          Housing, just like all of those other matters, are a provincial issue, not federal.

              Mate, that prophet is a damn site more warm and loving than you are acting.

              If you need help, maybe consider religion for support. That’s a lot more productive than spewing hate at internet characters.

                You gotta read into religious scriptures and their weird rituals. Nothing racist, it’s a thing in every religion, culture, ethnicity… not limited to any race.

                Women were forced to go live away in a segregated spot during menstruation and it’s still happening in some places today.

                It’s possible to not be racist and still highlight or mock the absurdity of those things

                  It’s pretty prejudiced to assume that everyone of a certain faith follows all the most fringe beliefs and rituals. Especially when used to ridicule that same faith.

                  Do you assume every Christian crucifies themselves every Easter because one sect does it?
