    The guy has two gofundmes right now:
    TJ Sabula is a patriot!! at almost 481k
    Support Ford Worker TJ Sabula during suspension at 330k
    Guy’s almost scoring a million!

    Why do both have “donations paused”?
    More importantly, how can one be sure the money will actually go to him?

      Geico fired R. Lee Ermey because he gave a speech claiming Obama was bankrupting the country on purpose so he could bring socialism to the US. Just saying.

        I truly don’t understand that line of reasoning. At all.

        Putting aside ideological stances on economic and social structures, how does someone reason that the country being broke makes socialism more achievable?

          If I can remember correctly (and I probably can’t) I think they figured Obama would cause mass unrest, bankrupt the country with insane economic policies, then use that as excuse to implement martial law, then use that to pass a law that says we do socialism now.

          I’m pretty sure I remember that rhetoric going around during Biden too.

      While I agree with the sentiment, there’s always 1 person who says something really racist or something and does get into trouble, but usually gets a bunch of right wing support too.
      Edit: Google search mentions several, including Ferguson police officer being extremely racist, a teacher also being racist calling Michelle a gorilla, a NY police officer got a mere 60 days for a slur and suggesting the president “go die in a shallow grave.”

      The overall point stands that they did way worse than someone calling out the truth, but right wing defenders will definitely say it happened with Obama too.

    I could just imagine some rando touring the White House, and they stumble across him. They start out so excited. Go in saying:

    Oh wow! Look at that! It’s the president! It’s great to me you, President Pedophile. Oh. My mix up. I mean, President Insurrectionist. Oh fuck, slip of the tounge! I’m just so nervous. Ha-ha! President Trump! It’s a pleasure to meet the Rapist-in-Chief. Oh fuck. There I go again.

        Yeah, FoMoCo is shit, and Henry Ford was a racist shithead, but it’s not about supporting Ford. It’s about resisting the regime.

        We’ll deal with Ford once we’ve reclaimed our democracy.

          Racist is putting it lightly… he was a Nazi. He owned a newspaper pumping out Nazi literature and was admired by the leaders of the Nazi party.

          He even has his own entry in the Holocaust Encyclopedia. https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/antisemitism-and-henry-fords-international-jew

        It’s at $219,000 right now. That man deserves a fucking metal for actually getting a response from that child rapist. We need this to happen to him wherever he goes! This is one of those few times that filming yourself insulting someone is not only permissible, but encouraged.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
