Reply to Kimbrough and Sunshine everybody, Springfield’s best. by ricardomilos-mp4

What does your vehicle look like now? I agree, this is funny, but not funny.

Did you know that you got a mention in the news? "Officers say he crossed into oncoming traffic near Kimbrough and Sunshine when he hit a driver of an SUV head-on in a low-impact crash. Officers arrested the driver after a short struggle. They say the suspect suffered minor injuries in the crash. The driver of the SUV did not need medical attention."

Reply to comment by fphillips93 in Missouri has roughly $150 million left to distribute in federal housing assistance by Tess_Mac

Blagojevich was impeached, convicted, and removed from office in 2009 by the Illinois General Assembly. He was also subsequently barred by the Illinois Senate from holding public office within the state ever again. For his role in the corruption scandal, Blagojevich was sentenced to 14 years in federal prison.

Not sure why you are getting downvoted.

lol Patrick is one of the best business owners in this town! He's taken his employees on vacations, and recently gave a big bonus to one employee in particular who was struggling.

>This could be an epiphany moment, where you realize how out of touch with reality you are. Or it could show you how you've been manipulated to hold certain lives as more important than others. But, I'm gonna guess neither of those will come to pass and you'll just double down. Seems like the phrase 'You cannot reason someone out of something he or she was not reasoned into' is very relevant.

Yea, that's pretty condescending, thinking you have to lecture me on the subject of American imperialism. This thread wasn't about American imperialism, you want to start a new one about that and I'll be 100% on board with everything you want to say about how the US Military's function hasn't been protecting the country since at least WW2.

This thread was, however, about a country hosting an event to sportswash their awful human rights record, and a corrupt organization that directly enables organized crime and dictators. The only whataboutism here are the "well the US is just as bad" posts.

> your condescending post.

That you took it as condescending is telling of someone who gets emotional when their point of view is challenged. Rather than make a logical argument, you chose to yell whataboutism and hurl insults. A logical thinker doesn't need to resort to fallacies, like people overcome by emotion.

Once again, extremely relevant: You cannot reason someone out of something he or she was not reasoned into.
