It's curious that one of the defining characteristics of Trump's appointees is that they're essentially overgrown children. Of course, so is he.

Emotionally, she appears to be about 13, which puts her alongside Musk, Vance, Hegseth, Miller and Bondi, at least.

And they're still all well ahead of Trump himself, who never made it past about 4.

Those were probably the ages they experienced trauma that sent them on the path to become shitty people.

Trauma doesn't make you a shitty person. Lack of boundaries does.

Not dealing with your trauma, can definitely make you a shitty person.

That wasn't a-salt, it was a-sandwich.

Also fuck these nazi twats, the pendulum swings hard fuckstains.

Don't take the plea bargain like they want. No jury is going to convict a felony for throwing a fucking sandwich.

By the statute, he's 100% guilty. And there's no particular guarantee that he'll get a jury of people who are willing to say "Yeah but fuck Trump at the end of the day" (or even that he won't get whisked away to some kind of ICE tribunal that are going to make him the test case for "deporting" citizens or something).

I'm 100% behind the guy, and honestly I would be cheering for him to fight the case because fuck Trump also, but I'm just saying that it's way way different when it's you in the seat start facing down "sacrifice the rest of your life" consequences.

What is the point of the statute though? I can get behind spitting as assault, because human saliva can spread diseases, but who could possibly be harmed by this?

[–] PhilipTheBucket@piefed.social 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

As far as I know, it's basically "throwing anything at anyone in an unwanted / offensive manner" in pretty much every jurisdiction. It's normally not a big deal that it's so broad, because it's a misdemeanor, and the cops / prosecutor / jury will exercise a certain amount of common sense about whether or not it's a big deal that you threw a balled up business card at someone or something. But, as soon as you're throwing something at a cop, it becomes a very different situation...

I agree that that’s the law, but why? Why should we make throwing things that can’t harm someone assault? If you throw a pb & j at someone who’s allergic to peanuts, or throw a dense sandwich really hard at someone standing on a high precipice, that’s a different story (and those are each covered by other crimes), but no harm was intended or caused by this. Why should it be illegal?

Edit: I can get behind littering as a charge here, but that looks very different on a background report…

A person who should be working as a door greeter at Walmart.
