Pastadome - A place for friends who are being too friendly in other threads.

How about Trump should've listened to the governors and not sent federal police after protesters? But apparently "MAH FEDERAL BUILDINGS!" are worth more than 162k+ American deaths. Fascists gonna fascist.

Trump doesn't need permission from state authorities to use Federal force to protect Federal properties, why do you keep calling this fascist? And how on Earth does the number of COVID deaths relate to people trying to commit arson on a courthouse?

You seem to be fundamentally misunderstanding that the Feds have the right to protect their property and prosecute those who damage it under Federal law. The President, whoever it is, can be polite and non interventionist and let local authorities handle it if they wish, but he's gotta have faith that local authorities will. So far all the protesters the PPB have arrested have been released with no charges. If Portland won't actually do anything except remove rowdies for the night who immediately go back, rejoin the mob, and do it again, it's not fascism to use your legal authority and jurisdiction to "go after" protesters, not for protesting, but trying to set the building on fire.

It's like, I can have a "no stealing" rule for my kids, but, if the cops catch them shoplifting, I have no authority to demand they let them go and allow me full control over the punishment, else they're just fascist kidnappers.... after all, I'M THE PARENT, THE STATE DOESN'T CONTROL MY KIDS!

They have as much authority to arrest your kid as you do to spank/ground them... don't they? Assuming the kid breaks a law, not just a house rule.

Same thing here, both local and Fed have jurisdiction, and the locals have abdicated any desire to control it. So what's left except to send in the Feds? Are we just supposed to let a courthouse burn, for literally no productive reason? NOTHING about the Floyd case or police brutality or the COVID response was the fault of anything done in that building, they're just attacking it because it's a big obvious target they want to knock down for personal Fight-the-Power points.... as far as I can tell. If that's not why they're tying to burn it, I'd like to know the reason. It's one that apparently justifies nobody trying to stop it and making those who DO fascists.

I'm trying in good faith here to find out exactly where this claimed fascism is, but if you're only doing it to shitpost, I have no idea what the point is. I'm asking honestly, and I'd like an answer other than "Fascists gonna fascist" which is as unhelpful for me as saying "green is green".

If you just respond to me again with 'fascists gonna fascist, Trump killed 162 thousand' I'll have to conclude we're either at an impasse or you aren't genuinely trying to argue a point.

Don't you unironically believe that "muh public saftee" outweighs individual rights?

So you think MAH FEDERAL BUILDINGS are more important than the lives of 162k+ dead from covid? Face it, Trump found the people protesting black people getting murdered by police to be more of a threat to him than a disease which has killed 162k+ Americans. You can at least admit he fucked up the response, but that'd be admitting the emperor has no clothes

And yes, public health is more important than individual rights. Same reason why the government can forcibly quarantine you if you have TB or ebola; they've always had the right to do that.

In the USA there are responsibilities divided between the Federal govt and the individual States.

The individual States were responsible for their own CV19 response. Once Federal buildings start getting bombed, that's the responsibility of the Federal govt. You should probably wonder just why for example Cuomo was so incompetent after Hurricane Sandy went Hulkamania on New York State, and just why Mayor Blasio of NYC encouraged people to go out and get food and go to clubs when the pandemic first hit.

So, by your logic, Trump automatically is not responsible for the outcome of his own policy of letting states do what they want because it's then the state's responsibility? His policy was to let the states do their thing and it resulted in 162k+ dead. That is his responsibility.

I know you're a troll, though, so not sure why I am wasting my time.

Everyone's a troll who disagrees with you.

I outright told you why. In the USA there is a division between Federal and State powers.

You also have a reputation for going far on one side, and then going full retard towards the other side (ie your behavior in the covidiot thread). You're a troll.

But either way, Trump's plan lead to 162k+ dead Americans. That's on him.
 
Do not engage the retard beyond rating him Dumb or MOTI, and mocking him for being a retard.

Wahhh how dare Trump not use authority he doesn't and shouldn't have to stop a virus nobody is immune to, with no vaccine and limited treatment options!

Please note that literally anything Trump did would've resulted in the retards complaining just the same, with the same vehemence, with still no response as to what he should've done differently.

Edit: what he should've done differently is the opposite of what he did, and also the things he tried but was blocked from doing until it was too late.

Yes, everything is one side or the other with no way to understand anyone's argument.

What do you think about the Senators like Schumer and Pelosi who encouraged people to go out for Lunar New Year? Or (more on topic) the Italian mayors who told people to go out and hug a Chinaman?

Trump actually tried to shut down travel between the USA and China. The media called him racist.

Y'all motherfuckers are STILL on this shit

I thought the whole point of the Autism thunderdome was 'two spergs enter, one sperg leaves', not 'two spergs enter and camp out here until the sun burns out.'
We need more pasta.
Exactly. I thought this thread was dedicated to the really incendiary debates like whose Nonna has the best sauce recipe.

I'm doing my best but I'm running out of recipes. :(

Why can't @Hollywood Hulk Hogan and @AnnLurker take their arguing to the Food board where it belongs?

Wouldn't you prefer to comment on a site where you'll be praised and lauded for calling anyone to the right of Mao Zedong an incel? Might I suggest r/politics?

Sorry that the truth hurts your 5'3 self. Outside of this subforum, everyone on this site hates the regulars here. There's a reason that the admins are thinking of deleting this section. You'd be amazed how many messages of support I get lol.

How... You know you are a regular here right? Also you know 'thinking about deleting this section' is another way of saying 'not deleting this section' right?
