Interesting how these types of people seem to have a set of phrases with their own fixed meanings that don’t necessarily correspond to the literal meanings of the words that make them up. “Can’t trust the government” in this context really means “can’t trust liberals/progressives”. You can see that in her response if you watch the video. She’s not stumped when the reporter points out the apparent contradiction. She expect everyone to make the same mental substitution, under which there is no contradiction.
Another good example is a 5 minute youtube video about homelessness from a fake university with an orange logo. They cite an example of a bridge between Los Angeles and Culver City that has a major homeless encampment on one side, but not the other, due to different laws in the two cities. To quote directly:
the Los Angeles side is full of tents and the Culver City side is empty. Why? Because the two cities have different public policies. Los Angeles has effectively decriminalized public camping and drug consumption while Culver City enforces the law.
If Los Angeles has no law against homelessness, then what law is it supposedly failing to enforce? This seems like a contradiction, until you realize that “Culver City enforces the law” has nothing to do with actual laws, but with the “law” of the moral framework that the authors are trying to propagandize.
Literal, actual retards are running the show now.
Placed there by literal, actual retarded Americans.
Wild that our country became so pathetic.
It would be great if you could avoid using ableist slurs to refer to people you don’t like
And she’s the secretary for homeland security of all things now?..
Ok, news break! The President of the US is the most obvious foreign actor the country has ever had. This is like if Benedict Arnold was actually President while trying to overthrow the government, then running again and winning. His main goal is to weaken the US as much as possible for his daddy, Putin. If this appointment surprised you, get ready. It’s gonna get a lot worse.

Hey, that’s the same type of language my mother use against me, a human being…

They aren’t good people.
They’re not sending their best.
he didn’t trust herself
They need to stop hitting themselves in the face with the ugly stick. Holy shit.
Her nickname is Branches.
Is there a name for this phenomenon for when people start to look inbred due to having all of the terrible plastic surgery? It’s like the Habsburg jaw but within a single generation because the deformity wasn’t a product of breeding.
Brian Posehn called it “Hot Girl Down Syndrome” several years ago on a special. While I understand that is problematic, it’s so spot on it does work as a fantastic shorthand.
My boy posehn got Nickelback all but removed from the airwaves.
Im so using this! Ha!

We can’t trust the government now. We couldn’t trust it before either, but we also can’t trust it now.
The sad thing is, there actually used to be some areas in which you could trust the government. You could trust the CDC for health information, the FDIC with your money, the FDA for food regulations, the USPS to deliver your mail…
Nowadays, everything good about government will be getting axed and everything bad amplified. But what can you do~
But what can you do
If there’s a Covid-25, I wouldn’t recommend getting a vaccine from this government. Not without a consensus approval from blue state governments.
I would wait for a Canada or EU approved vaccine.
Will they require people to be vaccinated to travel if they’re explicitly traveling there to be vaccinated?
Fun question. Unfortunately, I assume yes. They used to check your vaccination status before granting you entry at the border/airport.
What with how Trump is pulling out of WHO and deregulating the chicken industry, if the avian flu becomes transmissible to humans, it will make COVID-19 look like childsplay. At which point things may get so dire vaccine hesitancy is likely to get you killed, and I’d probably recommend a quick plane trip to Canada to get vaccinated, if that’s even still an option…
I’d be surprised if they offered any vaccine.
I used to not trust the government.
I still do not trust the government, but I used to, too.You especially can’t trust it now.
We can trust that they will do the absolute worst thing instead of not knowing if they will or won’t!
Very true.

Elon Musk is part of the administration that is helping us identify where we can find…savings.
I wonder what she almost said
Holy shit, I wasn’t expecting it to be word for word the same. Wow…
Points for honesty… I guess?
To be fair, it was like 2 overlapping conversations interrupting each other.
Still, though, she can go fuck off.
Wow CNN “journalists” really can’t interview worth a damn.
In equally current news, that Back to the Future sequel looks very promising!

you can actually never trust the government
Libs see absolutely nothing wrong with the war on drugs and prison slavery. Thus California super happy to vote to keep their prison slaves. Progressive my ass.
Oh those cops that abused and maimed protestors during the george floydd protests? The ones that aren’t legally required to protect you? They will be in charge of your safety and security. Please turn in your guns, ignore January 6th 2021. Don’t worry, we passed a bill to require them to wear a rainbow BLM sticker over their body cams.
it doesn’t matter if they’re nazis, commies, or whatever, the governments job is to exploit the people in order to stay alive
The government’s job is to give punk rockers something to sing about
When someone in your Government is a bimbo girl, then you know you are fucked up
I submit that president Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho is a male bimbo, and we should BE so lucky to be led by such a saint in comparison to real life.
Bimbos are cool and they are fine in positions of power. She is a fascist though, you could have just used that instead of using weird misogynistic stereotypes.
Interesting; and I’ll start by saying we immediately disagree but I am curious on your perspective about not being misogynistic towards Nazi women. I recently (like 6 minutes ago) came to the conclusion that it’s fine to punch them. Can you change my mind?
The thing is: you don’t have to be misogynistic. She’s a Nazi, there’s plenty of other things you can demean her on without using language that broadly stereotypes everyone, or at least that group.
I get where you’re coming from, and I don’t think I’ll change your mind, but that language is not partisan (for lack of a better word). It might hurt the women standing against you, but it also hurts the women standing with you.
And just to be sure: You’re using bimbo to be hurtful, not because you believe bimbos are less than, right? Because that would be fucked if you wholesale discount bimbos simply because of what they are.
So I actually don’t use the term “bimbo,” and never have. I’m not misogynist; just somewhat of the opinion that it should be open-season on Nazis. As in, “anything goes.”
I don’t want to offend people that aren’t Nazis however. It’s unfortunate that someone might interpret a slur directed at someone else as a slur directed at oneself; but I get it.
In my lexicon, I have a lot of words I’d use for Noem. “Bimbo” would not be on the list in normal circumstances.
Hell yeah. I guess we’ll just be two different side of the coin, because your anger and frustration are valid. It might be chaotic, but it’s still “good”. lol
It’s fine and not at all misogynistic to punch a Nazi woman. You’re simply treating her the same as you would a Nazi man.
One might argue that not punching Nazi women is in fact misogynistic.
women 😤
A government large enough to supply all your needs is a government powerful enough to take everything from you.
What’s the size of a government that supplies precisely zero of my needs yet is still powerfull enough to take everything?
My guess would be 2 people, all the guns and knowledge of where everything you have is, assuming more people means “bigger” than more objects/information
This government doesn’t provide for people’s needs and is still powerful enough to take everything from us.
The real problem is if it’s not powerful enough to maintain a top position on violence then I’ll end up paying a second set of taxes to the local sheriff and his posse of Ranchers.
We need to ensure power is used responsibly. Not just get rid of it and hope nobody comes along to fill the vacuum. (Spoiler Alert, they will, and there won’t be voting)
So glad government mass surveillance has stopped all crime!
Not sure what you’re trying to say here. I’m against mass surveillance! I’m against big powerful government in general. All the fear people had with the Republicans coming to power would not have happened if there was no power for them to come to in the first place.
As for crime, that’s the job of a small, local, effective, community police force to deal with. Not a militarized thug squad that we have now!
Good job sounding profound while spewing absolute bullshit.
I’m sure a social safety net propped up entirely by bureaucrats is going to suddenly deprive every one of their rights. It won’t be a government with mass surveillance and militarized police. Nope, those are definitely not two different things. Big government is big government regardless of form apparently.
I’m not against safety nets. I’m against bureaucracies and mass data collection. A social safety that features mass surveillance (means testing) is another tool for social control. A simple safety net via a negative income tax doesn’t leave any cookies in the jar for Musk and his goons to plunder.
Good fences make good neighbours. The government I trust most is the one with the least power to hurt me. When you vote for a new bureaucracy with broad powers over people’s lives you’re setting a time bomb that’s waiting to explode the moment the bad guy wins an election.
Never forget that it was the power of the bureaucracy that allowed the Nazis to be so ruthlessly efficient at rounding up all the Jews. The lesson of history was not “only the good guys should be allowed to win”, it’s “we shouldn’t be leaving so many loaded guns laying around the house.”
