I’m disgusted with this country.
Everyone immediately rolled right over before election night even ended. There’s almost zero fight from anyone. Disgusting is the perfect description.
That’s the shit that gets me, too. They’re literally just letting everything happen. It feels fucking hopeless.
What is left to do? The majority of the American electorate is hopelessly uninformed, selfish, or lazy. The slugs have voted for salt!
Making normal people feel helpless the key. The Nazis did the same shit as this turd reich is doing.
Okay, what can I actually do about this then? Difficulty: Only mention things that won’t get you banned.
Take care of yourself first. Can’t do anything if you’re on the ropes.
Then, it is every liberal’s duty to become a lawful firearms owner. I can’t believe I’m saying this. If you only knew me. Wednesday after the election I spent the day crying. Thursday, I signed up for gun class.
I used to think America was a pretty safe country. I watched the violent crime rate drop since the '80s. It was mathematically clear that having guns in the home was way more dangerous than not. But then I saw these fuck sticks with their tiki torches. Then I saw that guy drive his car through the crowd. And now they won, again?
Republicans today are way more dangerous than any street gang I’ve ever heard of.
Nice job skirting the ban. “Buy a gun, but I won’t tell you how to use it.”
Then go do it.
Almost feels like the DNC was controlled opposition this whole time we marched toward fascism.
Sure but this is his only move here given what the shit ass Supreme Court rules on presidential immunity.
Hopefully this orange asshole survives the four years and someone with a moral compass picks the car back up after/if he leaves but there’s not a damn thing he can do now with Trump back in office and he’s just got to wait until he gets indicted himself in political retribution from this orange fascist.
Hopefully this orange asshole survives the four years
Hopefully he dies tonight, but the roaches always seem to be long lived…

Oh cool. The latest in a looooooooooooooooong fucking series of “Oh darn! Our hands our tied! We can’t do this thing we never wanted to do in the first fucking place!” moments.
The best justice money and corruption can buy.
Legal justice has become a pipedream. The only options with any real chance of happening are vigilante justice or no justice.
which should fundamentally terrify anyone with a basic understanding of history.
Once the rule of law collapses, the empire is soon to follow.
I want him to get drunk, go on a podcast, and just spill the tea. What does he really think. I mean, I think I know, but I’d love to hear his honest opinion of the games that were played, who dropped the ball, and what he thinks of all the players, outside of what we glean from the filings.
Cold Ones suddenly looks very politically relevant.
Or maybe he could go on Hot Ones
He’s probably walking a tight rope in the hopes his family doesn’t get massacred.
Resist, unless you might suffer consequenses.
Good… because this might finally lead US citizens actually consider a civil law system rather than a common law system…
Aw, who am I kidding? Yanks don’t even use the metric system yet. Smh.
Fascist accelerationist.
Yeah, common law systems have a tendency to go that route.
Do you support Russia?
Russian people? Yes. The Duma and the Kremlin? No. Name your terms, dimwit. Context matters. I mean not to you, since you’re a dimwit.
Also: you didn’t get the original post, did you? Reading comprehension and understanding irony is not your strong suit I guess.
"bUt RuSsIa HaZ a CiViL lAw SyStEm.’
Russian laws don’t matter, because they are run by a literal fascist - you moron.
What was your point again? Mine was violent revolution whereby Trump gets axed and no president could set a legal precedent like that again.
Did you get that?
You understand the difference between a civil and common law system is an extremely niche issue that most people engaged in online politics don’t really have an opinion on, right?
I called you a fascist accelerationist because you were praising the Trump victory for something that doesn’t fucking matter. It’s like if you said some deranged like “elephants are a cooler animal than donkeys.”
Guesses on what he was threatened with?
He’s dropping them now because its the only move that might revive them when Trump is out. If his old ass lives that long.
Could you explain what you mean? Does dropping the case mean they can prosecute him for the same crimes later?
They’re not dropping charges but rather prosecution iirc.
Ah ok, I see what you mean. Thank you
Make sure to parrot this everywhere. There is a lot of misunderstanding going on right now.
Because this is federal the chain of command goes from Jack Smith through one or a few other people before landing on Trump (once he takes office). Trump can simply order people down the line to dismiss the charges with prejudice, making it so they can never be re-filed again. If the charges are just dropped at this point, he’d have to order them to be re-charged then dismiss. Which honestly, I don’t see him suffering any backlash at all if he did. His supporters are fucking stupid and fucking crazy.
Much appreciated
The evil ones always live the longest, annoyingly.
He is making a pragmatic decision that any reasonable lawyer would make.
DOJ policy is to drop a case like this. If he ignored policy then he would be fired by February before the case would even proceed. So no matter what he does, the case is dead and at least he got to write some words down. Basically the same as the three resonable justices on SCOTUS who have no power to do anything beyond write dissenting opinions that might matter sometime in the future.
It sucks, but Republicans have completed their coup from within the US government.
No need to guess. Project 25 is free to read.

Oligarchs infight all the time particularly when one tries to kill several others.

Ahh yes, the peaceful walk thru the capital.
Fuck off with your gaslighting.
It’s not me refusing to press charges
