Gee. Wonder who.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago

Told ya! She doesn't need a pardon to dance to Trump's tune. This is one hell of an upgrade for her!

[–] barnaclebutt@lemmy.world 11 points 9 hours ago

Maybe a journalist wants to find out who did it? Journalists? Are you there? There's a story here. There's so few of them left.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 18 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

Good, maybe somebody in there hates sex offenders enough to take steps.

[–] burgerpocalyse@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

it would be so unbelievably funny, just like how some people wanted Derek Chauvin to be pardoned for his federal sentencing, which would send his ass to state prison for his state sentencing, where he would be most likely murdered by people he sent there

[–] IhaveCrabs111@lemmy.world 15 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Didn’t this state overwhelmingly vote for one?

[–] Randomgal@lemmy.ca 7 points 9 hours ago

The whole country did lmao

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 117 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Did I die and wake up in hell at some point?

Nothing of this makes any fucking sense anymore.

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 28 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Waitwaitwait

THIS is the bad place!

[–] StarryPhoenix97@lemmy.world 18 points 16 hours ago

SkaveRat figured it out...SKAVERAT!? This is a real low point. This one really hurts.

But like, EVERYONE keeps just going with this shit. Am I the only one who heard the story of the emperor’s new clothes? We’re just going along with that I guess.

Also how the fuck does that guy keep appointing child molestors to shit, How the fuck does he possibly know so many of them that it happened multiple times at all? Does that not raise a ton of questions in and of itself? The whole Epstein shit should have been the end of Trump, oh he’s mad, let’s stop talking about it while he installs literal fucking censors in the news.

And his executive orders have zero authority, yet everyone in the US is treating them like legal decrees. You’d think there’d be a lineup of every person implementing them being fined, but nope.

Openly defying the Supreme Court about returning that “deported” guy in El Salvador? Nobody gets in trouble for that I guess. Plus he just gets to declare he’s investigating people and nobody does a thing.

Seriously, the marines in LA and now multiple states to arrest people, an explicit crime, and zero reaction from the public.

And it’s not just the US. Here in Canada we’re somehow winning the measles race while Britain has decided you need daddy Charles’ permission to view swears online. They’re even talking about how that’s not quite far enough! What’s next, you need a guard with a bear fur hat to unzip your pants to be sure you don’t glance at your own genitalia?

Jesus fucking Christ, I get why God drowned the whole planet now and we are long fucking overdue.

God we’re all so fucking fucked I just want to live in the forest and never see another person again.

This collapse was long in the making, crippling education and co-opting media for half a century bred a nation where 40% of the people think a rapist felon traitor is an ideal presidential candidate

There is no fixing this, there will be a civil war within the decade

[–] Whostosay@sh.itjust.works 8 points 23 hours ago

Lmao you're so close.

Also how the fuck does that guy keep appointing child molestors to shit, How the fuck does he possibly know so many of them that it happened multiple times at all?

It's exactly what us 4 billion people that have access to the Internet think

I got a classic Stoner cousin who once shared an interesting Theory with me while he was high of course. He says we all died in 2012, the Mayans were apparently right after all I guess, and that this existence we have now is just hell or some form of eternal torment. Whether it's hell for all of us or just me or just him I'm not entirely sure. Don't know the metaphysics on that one. But I'll tell you what, his theory makes a little more sense every single day.

[–] alaphic@lemmy.world 10 points 22 hours ago

Fuck, are you my cousin? Cuz I've had this theory for awhile... also, if so, i feel like you're being kinda derisive about me being high, but if you think im about to be out here just raw doggin' hell you're out your mind

[–] Zirconium@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

I feel asleep waiting for election results and woke up when it was all red. It felt like I took a bunch of Benadryl

[–] Angry_Autist@lemmy.world 32 points 22 hours ago

All those child molesters are going to walk free and there's nothing to be done about it

Justice is defiled

Burn the entire fucking thing to the ground

[–] supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz 53 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Trump is clearly going to pardon Ghislaine

[–] Pickleideas@lemmy.world 23 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Only if SCOTUS doesn't overturn her conviction first

[–] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 6 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

The same SCOTUS that works for Trump?

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world -1 points 4 hours ago

SCOTUS does not work for Trump and has ruled against him a few times. They're conservative, not partisan. Well, Thomas is whatever you want if you got cash money.

In fact, they were making so many "woke" rulings I started tracking those for giggles. That's not all, only what I could screen shot. Also, I quit collecting over a year ago.

[–] only_in_ohio@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 hours ago

That’s sad

[–] don@lemmy.ca 41 points 1 day ago (4 children)

The next time the dems take the office, they’d better do shit for the people so fucking radical it makes this entire admin look like soggy frosted flakes.

[–] Angry_Autist@lemmy.world 23 points 22 hours ago (2 children)
  1. fascists don't hold free elections

  2. What the fuck are the DNC going to do? Beg for more money and wag their fingers and the repugnicans while saying 'naughty naughty'?

The DNC failed hard on all fronts with the exception of maybe 3 voices that have STILL accomplished nothing in stopping this shitshow of a fascist parade.

Even IF somehow 2028 a legitimate election, I don't see the DNC putting forth any actual progressive candidates ever. They are more interested in their corporate donors than the well-being of the citizens and it is time they become irrelevant

[–] drhodl@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

It's almost like BOTH parties are bad, but don't lose sight of the fact that one side is demonstrably much, MUCH worse than the other. Be active in the Dem primaries, but vote blue in the election, until a viable option is available. Don't just give up to the baddest guys, even if your own team is somewhat bad. That would be weak.

[–] Angry_Autist@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Oh I certainly agree. Here's how I see it:

Democrats are Rusty Shitbox right now, but the repugnicans are Radioactive Rusty Shitboxes that are also On Fire

In that case I vote rusty shitbox every time

[–] don@lemmy.ca 2 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago) (2 children)

Which leaves you with what options? One, near as I reckon: fuckall.

Guess it’s time for you to stop being angry, and just be sad.

Edited for clarity, apparently.

[–] Angry_Autist@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

You can be sad all you like, I'm spending my energy stocking my family's cabin and teaching my sister how to shoot

[–] don@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)
[–] Angry_Autist@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Nope, there is no edit mark.

Liars get blocks, no exceptions

[–] kebab@endlesstalk.org 1 points 28 minutes ago

I think they meant that they edited their comment you were originally replying to. There is an edit mark on that one

[–] azertyfun@sh.itjust.works 6 points 18 hours ago

It is necessary to recognize the tipping point where working with the system is no longer a useful way to save the system. I vehemently disagreed when those fucking tankies refused to campaign and vote for Harris based on that logic, but now that point is passed.

There are plenty of things you can do, but they no longer have to do with electoral campaigning and a lot of those will be steadily made illegal.

Being vocal against the pedo elites is one of those things. Fascism thrives on unearned legitimacy and this is a threat to that. Keep your neighbors angry, keep pointing out that the emperor has no clothes and that he's not-so-secretly fucking children.

I like your optimism that Democrats will ever get a chance to have this power again. Trump is here to stay. Even if he dies this term, you have Vance to carry the torch. And don't worry doesn't matter how unpopular he is the election will be rigged in his favor anyway. They also find that when they break from the constitution there no consequences. So they will just completely ignore the two term rule. After all what anybody going do about it? Nothing.

[–] Onyxonblack@lemmy.zip 5 points 18 hours ago

100% correct here sadly. Most people won't see this truth until after the next "Election" is decided. Fully rigged and even then there will be ICE at every voting place. It'll just get even more Black Mirror 1984 after that.

I completely agree, unfortunately.

The Supreme Court has made it clear they won't do anything to reign in the power of the presidency and Congress won't either.

[–] don@lemmy.ca 6 points 23 hours ago

I never gave a timeline for it happening.

[–] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 3 points 19 hours ago

Next time Dems should not take office. At least not the current old guard. We already know what happens else.

[–] tanisnikana@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago (2 children)

She’s gonna get merked in a suicide. Calling it.

[–] MisterOwl@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Nah they'll keep her around to name the names they tell her to.

[–] jontree255@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago

Once she’s pointed the finger at who they want they’ll suicide her to keep her from going back on it.

If she gets out for any reason expect her to disappear to avoid that fate.

[–] Angry_Autist@lemmy.world 5 points 22 hours ago

Nope, she's going to name a handful of dem adjacent politicans and walk free without a record

If she was going to be suicided it would have already happened
