Well the best part about local government is (minus major cities) it's pretty easy to vote them out.

I once sold a truck to a guy who called and agreed to pay full price as long as I brought it to the airport within the hour. It was incredibly sus, but my truck had been for sale for months, and I had grown desperate. So I went. It only got weirder. The moment I arrive he hops in the drivers seat for a test drive, and a run to the bank to get the money to buy it. He’s a freakishly large porcine fellow, adorned head to toe in dirty work clothes. He looked like Hagrid if he were an alcoholic with a the world’s most unionized construction job. We get to chatting on the drive. Work, life, conspiratorial ramblings, Donald Trump, Pakis. The usual, if you know this type of guy. I come to learn he needed to buy my truck to get home. He had bought a one way plane ticket to come buy a different one, but had been ghosted by the seller when he landed. He was stranded at an airport on the other side of the country with no other plan. So I thought, “well maybe I know the guy who ghosted him. Let me see if I can help.” I asked to see his phone to read his FB Marketplace message with the seller. He had been talking to some guy with Broken English and a vaguely middle eastern sounding name for several days now. The guy was selling an incredibly desirable truck for 30% below market. A virtually impossible deal. The vehicular equivalent of a horny singles in your area add on a porn site. He turned to me and said “y’know, his listing says the truck is about an hour from here, maybe I should go look for him.” I said “bro I’m looking at his profile, he has this same truck listed in every city in North America. The plate in the photos isn’t even from our state. This truck is spammed hundreds of times across marketplace.” To which he replied, “yeah I thought that was weird. I think it’s a glitch.” “No it’s not a glitch… you didn’t send him money did you?” I asked, fearing the answer. “Yeah I sent him a money, otherwise he was gonna sell it to another guy.” I winced. “how much?” “Five thousand bucks.” “……okay.” “Well let’s look him up, we have his name.” He replies confidently. “Look him up where?” I ask. “Facebook” “I’m looking at his Facebook. It’s not real.” Just then we arrive at the bank, he parks my 2500HD in the handicap spot at a 45 degree angle. I say maybe we should pick a different spot, he tells me he isn’t picky. We set up the wire transfer, he makes a disparaging remark about brown people to the teller. She frowns, she is brown. The money luckily still gets sent. And he takes off in the truck. Hours later he calls me from the middle of nowhere. He had decided to fuck with the aftermarket tuner while driving and bricked it. He was stranded. I don’t think all you xitter users realize just how difficult the modern world already is for an 85IQ person to navigate. With 53% of youtube shorts views now coming from AI content, these people are about to be thrust into a completely incomprehensible dream realm forever.

Respectfully, blm was during Trump and I was livid

Trump's not perfect. RINO's are far from perfect. But Democrats would turn America into France.

The Supreme Court burns to the ground in Albania, Parliament and the Department of Education has been stormed, the Prime Minister is in hiding and the country is effectively in the hands of the rebels. Albania rejects blatant corruption and their country being sold.

BREAKING: Iranian lawmakers say Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei's position on nuclear weapons will differ from his late father's and that Iran must now acquire nuclear weapons. "The nuclear doctrine must change," Iranian MP Naderi says, adding that the discussion of nuclear deterrence has become more serious and has now reached the level of Friday prayer imams (top state clerics). "Our response so far in terms of revenge has not been sufficient. A response will be sufficient when we achieve definitive deterrence, which will happen, we are in this process," he adds.

But for the Second Amendment, the father who stopped this killer would have been defenseless, and more children would almost certainly have died. Existing laws didn’t stop the shooter. An armed citizen did.

Nobody’s perfect

A woman at a Trump rally demanded the release of the Epstein files. She was promptly beaten by men in the audience and then carted off by security while her assailants were allowed to remain and received congratulatory high fives and accolades from Trump. A deeply disturbed country, fully on display.

The issue is not about forgiveness. If they were truly contrite about it, forgiving a woman who did this to me would not be hard. I would feel bad for her, honestly, for destroying her life. Staying with them, however, is a completely different question and is pretty much incomprehensible. It's not only about the shattered trust; the same sentiments that lead to pity also lead to disinterest. I would view her as so much beneath me at that point that there would be no basis to continue a relationship, even if I somehow had a guarantee it would never happen again (you never do). The brand of Christianity that seeks to make you a doormat to bad actors out of some kind of moral superiority is fake Christianity. It leads to the empowering of evil people and the denigration of Jesus, by tying your pathetic behavior to his sacrifice. It is not simply the wrong interpretation of scripture, it is a type of practice that serves Satan himself, because you are putting yourself in the way of those who sin experiencing consequences. You shall know them by their fruits, and the fruits of this type of Christianity are rotten. The spiritual purpose of forgiveness is to help you move on from experiences with parasitic people, not to keep you around them. Avoid any priest or pastor who tells you otherwise.
