Just more sensationalism to keep everyone’s mind off the Epstein files if you ask me.
drump is going to get what mussolini got if we keep heading in this direction
I wish I was that optimistic but who the fuck is going to make it happen?
krasnov out here trying to build a bigger distraction
Hang HIM
Good thing we’re not talking about those pedo-files tho, right?
Zone = flooded.
The only people who would get mad about telling the troops to refuse illegal orders, are the people who plan to issue illegal orders.
And Reddit banned me for 7 days when I said this dude should get the death penalty.
I got a permanent ban for telling someone on an nfl team sub that they were a stupid fucking idiot. Wtf?
If you haven't noticed yet, that's because it is a tool of the regime that exists to pacify and propagandize its enormous userbase.
if they had balls every dem politicians who could run for next election should say that they will pardon anyone who gets arrested or in trouble for disobeying illegal orders.
Set aside Dems for a moment. When will the media give any of these scandals any deserving attention? Bush, Obama, Biden got raked by the media for weeks for the slightest misspeak
Yeah they do that because the people who own the media know two things:
The Dems will get criticised by both people left of them and people right of them, so raking them over the coals generates a lot of outrage which equals to clicks and views.
They can use this public perception pressure to ensure they keep passing policies that are, if not aligned with, don't affect the super rich owners and donators. Because the media owners can always dial up the jingoism and get the republicans elected again at the subsequent end of second term election.
Obama got slammed for wearing a tan suit
Well, you see, we're chasing the clicks and stale news doesn't get the clicks. And Trump constantly makes fresh news to chase those clicks with. Gotta get those clicks! WE NEED THOSE CLICKS!
They obviously won't... All the American media outlets are being consolidated under right wing ownership. To the extent we ever had fair reporting, that's over.
They are all complicit, however I cannot comment on that, because I have not watched tv or followed main stream media in a decade. I have ground news, which is great (I do have some complaints about it, it isn't perfect but no point venting here). So I personally cannot complain about them too much.
When is the majority of this country going to grasp that we are dealing with an actual, real life traitor?
Is it going to be one of those things where it isn't generally recognized until way after the fact when historians/teachers/students are studying the time period?
It's pretty fucking obvious.
He INCITECD AN INSURRECTION. He is ADVOCATING FOR HANGING POLITICIANS FOR ADHERING TO THE CONSTITUTION.
I fear that if things somehow miraculously go back to normal in the Untied States, absolutely nothing will have been learned, these chucklefucks won't be prosecuted, no laws will change to prevent a fascist regime, and millions of Americans will carry on oblivious that anything out of the ordinary happened
Maybe when he sets off a nuke in Chicago … but I wouldn’t hold my breath.
You mean Chiraq? Hell it's such a lawless hellhole up there they should glass it just to get rid of the libtards. That's what Sean Hannity told me anyway.
Trump: “Hang them for sedition!”
Commentator: “That is of course nonsense. The President doesn’t have the authority to …”
Supreme court: “As the President is a sovereign, he has absolute authority to issue death sentences for any reason” (6-3 majority)
That ruling would also be blatant permission to commit genocide
Yeap and there go. Buy ammo ladies and gentlemen.
He is afraid that people explain to the military the current state of the law? Like he hoped he could order them to do illegal things, and they would compüly, not knowing any better?
BTW: The Nuremberg trials started on this day 80 years ago. I hope you guys prepare your version of it then Trump is over.
Only if there's a revolution, because the democrats aren't gonna do shit to hold these people accountable
The fuck is wrong with Americans?
If any other president had said the things he said over the past couple of months, the country would have exploded and a president either legally or through mass protest removed from office.
What's so special about this orange nutjob?
A country full of stupid, small-minded, selfish, arrogant, angry, racist, misogynists elect a stupid, small-minded, selfish, arrogant, angry, racist, misogynist... How could this have happened?
What’s so special about this orange nutjob?
Nothing, really. He's not doing anything other piece of trash authoritarians haven't done before. And he's not doing it as effectively as many of them did.
What's special is that we live in a country whose populace is so ignorant and hateful that a high enough percentage of the population supports this basic ass bitch because he says basic ass hateful shit that he has remained protected by them.
The issue isn't Trump. Our society could have easily kept him just a whiny little rich bitch like all the other whiny little rich bitches. The issue is our society because we didn't.
Believe me. There is nothing special about this loser.
There have been tons of massive protests, the average American doesn't support this crap and they're doing what they can
The question should be the fuck is wrong with America's police officers, service members, judges, and lawmakers and other elected officials
He doesn't care about your protests. He literally created a video of himself shitting on them and declaring himself king. It works in functioning democracies, but walking down the street with a sign will not stop a fascist intent on absolute power.
Nothing is a special about the Cheeto Man. He is not a means to some end, as though his specialty is bringing about some change which nobody else could have. Cheeto Man is an end in himself. He’s the result of where we have been headed for a long time. Circumstances were right for a man like Cheeto Man, and now here he is. It’s like when the weather man tells you circumstances are just right for rain — that means it’s probably going to rain.
I wish I could fucking tell you. Propaganda is a hell of a drug.
It's been the downfall of empires before, and America isnt anything special. Just unchecked and unchallenged humans greed and corruption taking its next logical steps.
He has done it so much and gotten away with it, it's been normalized.
January 6th (aka, the insurrection) should have been a wake up call for everyone. A lot of people don't care about their country or God or whatever else they claim. Many just care about community.
Quiet, piggy.
If anyone should be getting hanged for anything, it's Pedonald for all of his many crimes, including plotting a coup while stoking an insurrection.
But it's always projection with the conservatives.
They are outright admitting their orders are unlawful?
They're markedly leaving that word out when they discuss this.
Nah.
Their rationale starts with the belief that all of Trump's orders are lawful, because he's the president and a president can do anything.
So their issue would be that saying that isn't true, is unlawful.
Which is obviously hypocritical because they acted like Biden and Obama were Stalin and Mao level authoritarians and multiple sherrifs and other red state officials flat out refused to follow orders from the Fed.
By their logic now, all those people shouldve been hung.
But when Trump's out of office they'll change their tune again
If it weren't for double standards, the Republicans would have none whatsoever
Our standards are the best, folks. They're so good, they call them, you know what they call them? I know you know, the lying media knows, but folks they call them "double standards". Can you believe it? Standards so good they're double. And listen, when we put America First, our standards will triple, even quadruple.
Trump is a lunatic
J6ers didn't hang...
But boy howdy should they have.
Still can...
Next Dem regime needs to, using the full authority of the President to do whatever the hell he wants consequence free, immediately have all Jan 6’ers executed day one. That way the problem is permanently solved.
Yeah, dunno how any of that or similar is ever gonna happen in this "country", NGL. 🙃
and Dems need to tone down their violent rhetoric btw
