  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

It's like watching children realize they've made a mistake after the fact, despite their parents having just told them right beforehand not to do it because it was a mistake.

I honestly can't see conservatives as anything other than children. Stupid, hateful children raised by stupid, hateful parents.

Did the GOP lie? Trump laid out most of his dumbass plans when he was campaigning. His voters just assumed he's a stable genius and knew what he was doing. They lied to themselves.

Why is this in Latin? Doesn’t this saying stem from Alexander Pope’s poetry?

[–] astutemural@midwest.social 7 points 1 year ago

Obviously, Latin is their native language.
