Fucking conservatives will do anything to get Trump elected.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 48 points 2 weeks ago

Yes. Take that seriously.

[–] doingthestuff@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago (6 children)

This doesn't make sense though. They could destroy thousands of ballots and it's not like either of those states are going to go to Trump.

[–] TheReturnOfPEB@reddthat.com 18 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Yes sabotaging elections via fire bomb in ballot box is not a rational action.

[–] leadore@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

I read elsewhere that one of the locations is in a district with a competitive House race.

[–] Seleni@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

But it could win them more local elections, and then we get fuckery like what’s happening in Florida and Texas all up in our business.

Local elections matter too, and often more, than national ones.

Chaos makes a coup easier.

I guess Clarkson was wrong (again): Not everyone who drives a Volvo is a nice person.

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I wouldn't be surprised if they chose it because people would assume that a volvo driver wouldn't be a conservative. Like a disguise!

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

I've only known two people who drove Volvos in my life. Both of them were rich conservatives.

[–] Nougat@fedia.io 25 points 2 weeks ago

Gen 1 Volvo S60 (2000-2009), black, dark blue, or charcoal gray.

[–] sp3tr4l@lemmy.zip 22 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Unknown rear plate?

... SovCit Imaginary Ambassador of the Peoples Republic of My House's Property Limts License?

[–] ThePantser@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah whoever installed the security cameras really failed, they should have had 3, one for front, one for back, and one for faces.

[–] TheEighthDoctor@lemmy.world 16 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Of those 558 how many have black rims? Probably less than half

[–] Atropos@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

This is also a model other than R, since the R line for that year range has special headlights.

Witch Hunt! Lets gooooo. Jk let's not repeat the Boston Marathon thing.

[–] Rhaedas@fedia.io 19 points 2 weeks ago

It's okay, that was Reddit. It could never happen here. /s

[–] Canadian_Cabinet@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 weeks ago

We did it Reddit!

I live here in Vancouver and will be on the lookout, but I'm not optimistic. Police in Vancouver basically do almost nothing on crime and are filled with a bunch of people that want to see the city go to shit so they can blame Democrats.

Would this land someone in federal pound-me-in-the-ass prison?

[–] iamericandre@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago

I think it’s a first class ticket

[–] colonelp4nic@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago (7 children)

We can do better than prison rape jokes :/

[–] ProIsh@lemmy.world 21 points 2 weeks ago

Maybe we can focus on Office Space jokes instead

[–] Milk_Sheikh@lemm.ee 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

WILD that you’re getting downvoted. Seems some agree a person can “deserve to be raped”… y’all need to do better.

Idgaf if they’re convicted of the most heinous crime, rape and mental torture was not part of the sentence handed out in court. Never mind that there’s thousands of people who are wrongly convicted.

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 15 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

OP was quoting Office Space. A character in the movie is scared of prison and thinks that the worst punishment would be time in a minimum security detention center until they are corrected by another character who uses the overly dramatic "point you in the ass" prison to describe the level of misery that the character will be in.

You can hate the joke but OP is using it correctly.

Man, giving us S60 drivers a bad name.

We're supposed to be chill!

[–] EtherWhack@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Where were you on Monday, and can anyone corroborate?

[–] Atropos@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yep! I was binging Factorio with my buddies - we have launched our first space station, and finally have power production under control!

[–] Crashumbc@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

FAKE! Everyone knows it's impossible to get power production "under control". He did it!

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

FInd the fascist, folks.

[–] Nuke_the_whales@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

Another moron who is going to prison for Trump.

[–] blockheadjt@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Car doesn't look black to me. Charcoal or titanium or some such.

Seats are beige leather/synthetic, not fabric.

[–] jenbanim@mastodo.neoliber.al 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)
