The assault on democracy in Italy

Day 496: "An absolute, total tool."

whatthefuckjusthappenedtoday.com/2018/05/30/day-496/

I'm shocked…

Brazilanons, I hope you have firearms because I am p sure that is where this is heading…

Why won't the supreme court declare this kind of shit unconstitutional.

It all depends on how it's done. Back in the 1980s Congress banned guns on all school campuses but the Supreme Court struck it down as an overextension of the Commerce Clause. Individual school districts and states don't have to abide by that so they can do whatever they want. The Supreme Court already allows closed campuses, student ID lanyards, security checkpoints, metal detectors, clear bags and school uniforms anyway.

Expect it to become commonplace though. Chinese schools are already doing it so American bureaucrats feel a need to play catchup since asians score so well on standardized exams, which were also forced on everyone because Europe did it. Same for standardized curriculums too and the elimination of non-core programs that don't put students into college (which gives the school extra money per the No Child Left Behind Act).

this fucking timeline I swear

...

The EU is crashing this plane with no survivors, and they don't even know it. Not even Papa Varou can save it now…

And you know the reason? The cunt said it was because "it was political". I'm at loss of words. How? How do you get at this kind of position and spout shit like this? How many years in a college did you spend to still spout this shit? What infuriates me most is not even how reactionary they are, but how illiterate they are how dumb they are. Your average favelado isn't this fucking dumb or stupid.
What sort of strike isn't political?

Of course we don't have. As much as I love Lula, he furthered the restrictions on getting guns. It's fucking impossible to get one legally.

Was that a fucking threat?

I think it was a challenge, one Italy will meet.

Thank you, based NewsAnon!

And don't forget our fantastic, amazing, incredible Italothread!!!


Can we please stop with this meme now?

No shit.

Yeah, as the other user said, getting guns is pretty hard around these parts.
You know what.
The Soviet Union's mistake was not discovering the genetic combinations that make it so people become reactionaries. I wish we had it, so we could purge those bastards from their birth, or change it into something decent.

Can someone explicate this Rosanne Barr stuff? Reading up on her she seems to be a Trumpist but I remember during Trumps campaign there was a high profile woman whomest I thout was Rosanne arguing with Trump and Trump supporters all the time? Is it just not the person I am thinking of or did she switch?

Rosanne is just an ultra boomer in all the worst possible ways.

ok I found it. She is the person I was thinking of

thedailybeast.com/how-roseanne-barr-abandoned-all-reason-and-embraced-the-alt-right

lmao

You might be confusing Rosie with Roseanne

It's your basic Trumper meltdown. Rosanne is a racist, wrote racist shit on twitter, got her shit kicked in for being a racist, and is now crying that everything is unfair and society should tolerate her racism because Trump is president.

You're probably thinking of Roseann Demoro

Will the Right-wing regime of Brazil collapse before Venezuela?

It will collapse, so we can form a worse one after

regardless fuck her, fuck ABC, fuck TV and fuck everyone else involved because it's 2018 and nobody watches TV anymore
