talkpoliticsGreetings again! It's now time to initiate the 2nd installment of our DailyQuotes list™ for 2019! As you know, this list is to be updated regularly, and will include lines that might or might not inspire bursts of giggles and/or deep thinking within the next 4 months or so. A link to the DQ list will stay put on the comm sidebar.
The Dailyquote list for May-August follows here...
"Maybe if freedom of speech has societal costs then those costs should be paid for by the people exercising their free speech; because, evidently, sometimes it is not free."
(johnny9fingers)
"I would've been almost inclined to feel the Schadenfreude from seeing all those climate denier assholes burn along with the rest of us, had this not involved the fucking rest of us fucking burning."
(mahnmut)
"Forget common sense gun control, we need to find some common sense first."
(oportet)
"The Constitution and it’s Amendments have become articles of faith. America’s religion is America, if you will excuse the tautology. There ain’t no arguin’ with scripture and catechism."
(johnny9fingers)
"You shouldn't trust somebody by default just because they're by definition "less worse" than someone else (who's terrible enough in the first place)."
(abomvubuso)
"The EU Parliament will soon be much like the Soviet Politburo. Only a facade of pluralism, and behind, some unelected dignitaries making decisions for everybody else."
(mahnmut)

"Canada is one of the most boring places on Earth. In the cutest way possible."
(dreamville_bg)
"Editors have become more of a political tool rather than a filter for indecency these days."
(abomvubuso)
"If I wanted to fuck the USA as badly as Nicholas II fucked Russia, an Iran War on a big scale would be precisely how I'd do it."
(dancesofthelight)
"War with Iran has always seemed like more of an eventuality than a possibility - the forbidden fruit we have to try (no matter the risk for food poisoning)."
(oportet)
"It's not war until lots of folk die. Until it crosses the threshold from terrorism to open conflict it is just murdering the odd MP and being racist on trains."
(johnny9fingers)
"Fascism is a renewable resource, while oil is not."
(edelsont)
"If abortion is murder, then a handjob is genocide, and a blowjob is cannibalism."
(luzribeiro)
"Divide and rule becomes polarise and exploit."
(johnny9fingers)
"The majority of people has been stupid and gullible since the dawn of time. In fact there have been times (read: always) when an even greater portion of the populace were stupid and gullible than in present times."
(kiaa)
"Athletics at heart is about exceptionalism: exceptional ability, exceptional dedication, and (especially) exceptional genetic inheritance. But obviously, for the sake of fairness, we have to make exceptions of certain exceptional talents."
