Do you want Iran to have nuclear weapons?
Do you want to let fentanyl enter the country?
Do you want men in women's locker rooms?
Are you soft on crime?
Does your hair hang low?
Does it wobble to and fro?
Can you tie it in a knot?
Can you tie it in a bow?
Can you throw it 'oer your shoulder
like a continental soldier?
When these questions start you aren't really having a conversation anymore.
Yes, I'm soft on crime. Because I love crime. Can't get enough of those crimes. Just love to be mugged or find out my poor mother had her purse snatched. It's delightful.
There is a segment of the US public who thinks that the left and democrats (who are groups that overlap but not even the same people) really are like this. Just pure villains who want bad things for everyone. Thinking about this for more than a second makes it not make sense. And as long as you see those with different policy ideas as evil you don't need to discuss the policy.
You don't need to talk about "Well will this war do what you claim?"
@futurebird "framing" as epistemological violence I wish I could shoot it into the sun
"Why are you asking me a question that implies I'm some kind of depraved monster who doesn't care about all of us like you do?"
These questions are just insults, not questions.
"Why do you enjoy hurting puppies so much more now than you did in the past?"
@futurebird you won’t answer the question well I guess we all know what kind of person *you* are
@futurebird
Pica is innocent. Cease and desist.
Pica loves crime. Let's be real.
@futurebird
Presence on crime scene is not proof of culpability. There are a mass of CSI personnel too, and police squads on all the site.
And she is not witness. She wasn't here. She just was walking by, intrigued by the ruckus and came by curiosity.
@futurebird And of course it’s republican policies which increase things like crime and fentanyl smuggling

@futurebird yeah, because those "Asking these Questions" don't want to solve any of these solutions, but merely use them as #FalsePretense|s to attack,marginalized people!

My mom and my aunt used to sing that song to each other but they used slightly different words.
Apr 22, 2026, 1:13 PMin Britain its usually sung as "do your balls hang low", and there's another verse
"ting a ling old man
find a woman if you can
if you canna find a woman,
find a clean young man.."
the tune is the same as the theme of kids TV show "Blue Peter", which is also ironic due to state broadcaster BBC being *full* of dirty old men in prime talent and management positions (its only just getting cleaned up in this respect) and the kind of (usually) clean cut folk who were selected as presenters for Blue Peter 😁
Apr 22, 2026, 1:20 PMthere was a scandal a few years back when one of the twink lads who presented the show had also turned up in a gay adult movie (called a blue movie in 20th century British English), the tabloids had a field day with "Blue Peter" related puns..
> Do you want men in women's locker rooms?
Oddly, the people who ask this question are the same ones who voted for a man who _bragged_ to have _been_ in women's (or even girls') locker rooms.
Remember:
"Well, I'll tell you the funniest is that before a show, I'll go backstage and everyone's getting dressed, and everything else, and you know, no men are anywhere, and I'm allowed to go in because I'm the owner of the pageant and therefore I'm inspecting it.
"You know, I'm inspecting because I want to make sure that everything is good. You know, the dresses. 'Is everyone okay?' You know, they're standing there with no clothes. 'Is everybody okay?' And you see these incredible looking women, and so, I sort of get away with things like that."
And that's not from an article. It's on tape.
Have most of the MAGA people just never listened to that recording?
He ran a beauty contest for teens too around that time.
@futurebird Which tells the real motivation. "The American Dream", i.e. "if you are rich, you can do anything - rules are only for the poor".
