Also. to make the point.

Vance Boelter is walking free today, out on bail. I expect trump to nominate him for SecDef once Kegbreath finally loses it.

"no no no I refuse to have a reasonable conversation about this because some purity test that I just made up so I can continue to be mad has not been passed. Also vance buelter vance buelter vance buelter vance buelter."

why the fuck do you do this, dude? I am literally agreeing with you and trying to bring some nuance to the discussion for purposes of better understanding the dynamics and your response, invariably, is some form of "fuck you, jesus ate my parents, feel my wrath and mockery for daring to feel anything other than useless, nondenominational despair."

There were about 38 million people in Ukraine during the Maidan. About 400,000 of them protested, or 1.0%. There are about 350 million people in the United States. About 5 million of them protested during No Kings, or 1.4%. They were ostensibly protesting a military parade in Trump's honor, which the Army turned into an extremely downtempo celebration of diversity and history.

So what the fuck does "meaningful protest" mean to you?
