  • Some redneck spray painted shit like “go home” on a Mosque in my rural hometown. Like, literally illiterate levels of redneck. I think they literally spelled “Canada” wrong in one of the messages.

    When people saw it in the morning, the community SWARMED the mosque with cleaning supplies to scrub it off. All the school kids made posters saying stuff like “You ARE home”. By noon, the mosque was cleaned and windows plastered with the posters the kids made.

    Kinda pissed me off that the national headlines neglected to mention the community response.

    Made me realize pretty early on that ragebait sells and the media knows it.

    There are probably countless instances of communities banding together that you’ll never hear about. Doesn’t mean they don’t happen.


  • JD is drawing false equivalence, to lead to the conclusion that law doesn’t matter.

    Does a judge plan a military operation? No. But they can establish if it is legal.

    That’s their whole job, to establish if actions violate the law. If they violate the law, they can order them to stop.

    Judges don’t write the law. You don’t like the judge’s ruling? Change the law. Judges don’t write the laws, they just interpret the ones that exist.

    JD is arguing that judges (and by extension, the law, and by extension the fundamental concept of the rule of law) don’t apply to him and Trump. It’s literally an argument for monarchy.
