The McCloskeys are absolute shit people even by petite boug chud standards
In 2013, he destroyed bee hives placed just outside of the mansion’s northern wall by the neighboring Jewish Central Reform Congregation and left a note saying he did it, and if the mess wasn’t cleaned up quickly he would seek a restraining order and attorneys fees. The congregation had planned to harvest the honey and pick apples from trees on its property for Rosh Hashanah.
“The children were crying in school,” Rabbi Susan Talve said. “It was part of our curriculum.”
Can't wait till Mark's on the floor of the Senate, calling Bernie Sanders anti-Semitic
I sometimes have a real hard time understanding people who do stuff like this. Why not be nice and helpful instead of immediately being as shitty as possible? These types of people need to be reeducated somehow. Maybe force them to work gruelling service jobs with no hope for reprieve
ill get modded for this comment but no shit 3 out of every 10 people are sociopaths or some shit and the world would be better if it was standard practice to kill them when detected
It wasnt a judge, it was the Mayor of St. Louis who lived in the same neighborhood after she literally doxxed people who signed a petition to defund the police.
i mean even if they did, threating protesters with gun isn't very sane of them.
just dont
hes a wealthy white dude who wanted to go outside and point his gun at a crowd of mostly black people. thats it. decades of gun ads have been preparing soft-handed white men like him for a moment like that
It doesn't help to say the wrong thing. It was obviously insane and unjustified but they weren't literally just walking by (as far as I know).
if it was insane and unjustified then why are we concerned whether somebody technically had one foot over the property line &c
Did you know that the beginning of your driveway and the first few feet of your yard is actually public property? You have to pay property taxes on it and may have to do upkeep if there's an HOA, but you can't legally build on the easement, or prevent people from being on it. Standard easements in the majority of the US are almost always either 25 or 30 feet from the center of the road.
Edit: in Missouri, the easement is 60 feet wide. Most residential roads are between 24 and 28 feet wide, meaning there's at least a 14 foot berth onto your yard before you even get to think about trespassing being remotely the case.
Edit2: Also it doesn't matter if it's a private road, all that means is maintenance of that road is paid for by a private entity rather than a public one, not that only the owner of the road is allowed to access it.
Considering they violated the NAP, he behaved with restraint. :ancap-good:
It's weird what people who have never experienced violence before interpret as violence.
Violence is threatening my alienation by approaching my private property
I guarantee his parents abused him. I wouldn't be surprised if he takes the abuse as a point of pride.
Protesting an elected official someone who you're supposed to protest...
If someone had shouted "Boo!" at the right moment, this wouldn't be a problem.
Considering the gun safety he and his wife exhibited, it might end up happening by honest accident
Honestly, I just can't see how somebody sees this image of him and says "This is impressive".
Can you imagine? A fascist state that doesn't actually create its own propaganda. It just gets it from the "news" they watch and spread it to the mainstream.
Everyone with "power" in the government all believe in Q, demons exist and are all Democrats, MS13 chopped off the heads of everyone in Commiefornia etc.
I think we're genuinely seeing a shift from people who know how to use certain rhetoric to get what they want to people who actually believe the rhetoric. Trump was a huge milestone in this, he genuinely watched more Fox News for information than he ever did talking with White House staff and intelligence agencies.
If the libs are right about one thing, it is that Trump is fucking stupid.
The best response the idea of Trump having any sort of rational thought was done by Michael Shannon.
The reporter pressed the question again, asking what Shannon thinks might go through Trump’s head at night.
“He’s probably thinking ‘I want some fucking pussy,” Shannon responded. “I don’t know. I’m not going to remotely contemplate the notion that Trump is capable of deep reflection.”
“In any form?” the reporter asked.
“In any form!” Shannon replied. “It doesn’t happen. Fuck that guy. When he’s alone with his thoughts, he’s not capable of anything more complex than ‘I want some pussy and a cheeseburger. Maybe my wife will blow me if I tell her she’s pretty.’”
:trump-kaneki: Can you believe it folks, they invented a new way to brief presidents just for me! It's excellent, they come in with the flashcards, big flashcards, the best flashcards, and they got little quips on 'em and pictures! So I see a picture of VUVUZELA and it says BAD, bing bang boom, I know Venice Beach is bad. So easy folks!
Everyone with “power” in the government all believe in Q, demons exist and are all Democrats, MS13 chopped off the heads of everyone in Commiefornia etc.
What living under capitalism does to a mf
The "mask off" bit has been done to death at this point, but compare this guy's political credentials to a guy like Ted Cruz. If you believe that we live in a meritocracy, or if you want to have some veneer of legitimacy to support your reactionary politics, Cruz at least checks some boxes you might find important. An Ivy League education, a prestigious legal career, high-ranking government work before moving onto electoral politics, wasn't particularly old at the time of his first election (42), and he's not just some WASP-y white guy, either. He was elected on the (astroturfed and quickly co-opted) Tea Party wave, but all of the above gives away how artificial the Tea Party "movement" really was -- he's right out of the neocon mold, he just knows how to pander to people who actually believe the rhetoric, like you said.
McCloskey does not have an elite education (Southern Methodist University is expensive and nice, but it's not Harvard or Princeton), does small-firm personal injury work (lucrative, but far from prestigious), has no experience I can find working with the government, and is the definition of an old (64) white male. The only reason anyone knows him is because he got on the news for pulling a gun on BLM protesters. There's no way you can half-passively argue that he's a good candidate on his own merits. Hell, even with Trump you could say "he's a billionaire and he says it like it is and he mopped the floor with all those GOP lizards." Can you say anything like that about this guy?
This might eventually be a meaningful change, because a lot of politically active people vote for one party or the other essentially for cultural reasons -- their parents did, and voting that way was acceptable where they grew up. But maybe, at least for some, that type of cultural support is contingent on having a candidate who at least gives them one or two "positives" to hang their hat on. Cruz at least had some sort of conventional political background, and Trump at least had some level of financial success and was entertaining. But what happens when your candidate is just some random millionaire with all the charisma of your typical 60ish reactionary boomer?
But that's a "mask off" positive. You can only admit you want to do that if you're an open reactionary. My thinking is that there might be some non-trivial amount of "cultural" Republicans who are fine with all the horrible shit Republicans do so long as it isn't too blatantly about white supremacy. With Cruz (and to a lesser extent, Trump) you can find some positives that keep the façade in place. But with this type of guy?
His ass will squeeze through the Overton window just fine. The Republican machine runs so smoothly. They will tease each other in the primary, but will lockstop THE MOMENT it’s decided.
Yeah, I'm not optimistic that this will be a bump in the road, but I think there's at least a chance. More of a chance than more presentable reactionaries, at least.
A fascist state that doesn’t actually create its own propaganda. It just gets it from the “news” they watch and spread it to the mainstream.
It's fascinatingly stupid. I would be far more entertained by it were it not becoming the current reality
This guy is either going to just ends up in the gallery of chud politicians whos tweets makes round for how stupid they are.
Or the president of the united states.
John Oliver already did. The Dems will probably run a blue dog against him.
He regrets bigtime that long laugh at Donald Trump saying he'll never be president. Stuff like that, elite disdain, was one of the things that poured so much gasoline on the chudpile that it energized Trump's campaign into a flaming cross. Unbelievably, people who had twice voted for Obama voted for Trump, just so they could give the middle finger to people like John Oliver. Just shows how petty and unreliable they are. People, if you didn't deserve the disdain it wouldn't come down on you.
MY family. I OWN them. They're MY possessions and YOU can't have them!
Where... where did his wife go? This is the pic of him and his wife right?
Where did she go Mark..?
What did you do to her Mark??!?!?!
Sorry, Patricia has my vote. Her shitty trigger discipline shows me she's got the courage to bring the fight in Washington.
I remember his karen wife having a mustard stain on her shirt lol
