Fucking conservatives will do anything to get Trump elected.

[–] Anticorp 48 points 2 months ago

Yes. Take that seriously.

[–] doingthestuff 6 points 2 months ago (6 children)

This doesn't make sense though. They could destroy thousands of ballots and it's not like either of those states are going to go to Trump.

Yes sabotaging elections via fire bomb in ballot box is not a rational action.

I read elsewhere that one of the locations is in a district with a competitive House race.

[–] Seleni 6 points 2 months ago

But it could win them more local elections, and then we get fuckery like what’s happening in Florida and Texas all up in our business.

Local elections matter too, and often more, than national ones.

Chaos makes a coup easier.

[–] MirthfulAlembic 2 points 2 months ago

Both states in these areas have toss-up Congressional races. They could decide control of the House.

I guess Clarkson was wrong (again): Not everyone who drives a Volvo is a nice person.

[–] spankmonkey 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I wouldn't be surprised if they chose it because people would assume that a volvo driver wouldn't be a conservative. Like a disguise!

[–] Anticorp 9 points 2 months ago

I've only known two people who drove Volvos in my life. Both of them were rich conservatives.

Gen 1 Volvo S60 (2000-2009), black, dark blue, or charcoal gray.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Unknown rear plate?

... SovCit Imaginary Ambassador of the Peoples Republic of My House's Property Limts License?

[–] ThePantser 7 points 2 months ago

Yeah whoever installed the security cameras really failed, they should have had 3, one for front, one for back, and one for faces.

[–] TheEighthDoctor 16 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Of those 558 how many have black rims? Probably less than half

[–] Atropos 11 points 2 months ago (3 children)

This is also a model other than R, since the R line for that year range has special headlights.

Witch Hunt! Lets gooooo. Jk let's not repeat the Boston Marathon thing.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 months ago

It's okay, that was Reddit. It could never happen here. /s

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

We did it Reddit!

I live here in Vancouver and will be on the lookout, but I'm not optimistic. Police in Vancouver basically do almost nothing on crime and are filled with a bunch of people that want to see the city go to shit so they can blame Democrats.

Would this land someone in federal pound-me-in-the-ass prison?

[–] iamericandre 12 points 2 months ago

I think it’s a first class ticket

[–] colonelp4nic 6 points 2 months ago (7 children)

We can do better than prison rape jokes :/

[–] ProIsh 21 points 2 months ago

Maybe we can focus on Office Space jokes instead

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

WILD that you’re getting downvoted. Seems some agree a person can “deserve to be raped”… y’all need to do better.

Idgaf if they’re convicted of the most heinous crime, rape and mental torture was not part of the sentence handed out in court. Never mind that there’s thousands of people who are wrongly convicted.

[–] ChicoSuave 15 points 2 months ago (3 children)

OP was quoting Office Space. A character in the movie is scared of prison and thinks that the worst punishment would be time in a minimum security detention center until they are corrected by another character who uses the overly dramatic "point you in the ass" prison to describe the level of misery that the character will be in.

You can hate the joke but OP is using it correctly.

FInd the fascist, folks.

[–] Atropos 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Man, giving us S60 drivers a bad name.

We're supposed to be chill!

[–] EtherWhack 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Where were you on Monday, and can anyone corroborate?

[–] Atropos 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yep! I was binging Factorio with my buddies - we have launched our first space station, and finally have power production under control!

[–] Crashumbc 4 points 2 months ago

FAKE! Everyone knows it's impossible to get power production "under control". He did it!

J/K

[–] Nuke_the_whales 9 points 2 months ago

Another moron who is going to prison for Trump.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Car doesn't look black to me. Charcoal or titanium or some such.

Seats are beige leather/synthetic, not fabric.

[–] jordanlund 6 points 2 months ago

Those radicals in their Volvos!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

@pruwybn not the brand of car I expected lol

[–] spankmonkey 3 points 2 months ago

Probably intentional misdirection!

[–] MattMatt 4 points 2 months ago

Holy crap that newspaper's site is a dumpster fire of popups and ads.
