@wesdym When I see someone talking about elections or impeachment as a useful tool it tells me that they do not understand the scope of the problem.
That's not cynicism.
Impeachment failed twice because the republican party won't voluntarily give up power. The mid-terms only have power if elections are free, fair and binding.
You can hope for those things, but hope is not a plan.
Today the only viable tool for a peaceful resolution the crisis is economically disruptive direct action.
@simagick You ARE being needlessly cynical, I'm sorry.
30-day mute.

@theleftistlawyer unfortunately from abroad it seems that the majority of US citizens have long stopped separating reality from fiction and therefore in their minds Judge Dredd probably set a legal precedent circa 1980.
@sheislaurence you're actually suggesting the majority of Americans support this? I mean, you can just insult millions of people despite the evidence I guess. I love when prejudice is okay.

@sheislaurence I guess it's supposed to be funny or edgy, but also like, the majority of us now dislike YOU because you're saying something really terrible about us without any reason to do it...

@johnzajac @theleftistlawyer You just took what klan members post on sites like Facebook and Reddit (i.e. Floyd was a rapist, etc) and attributed it to the media. This thread is kind of funny.

Shut the fuck up about this already
This can't be your fucking reply to everything -- all of you, please stop about the Supreme Court -- it DID NOT give Trump blanket immunity for anything and everything. Your reading is wrong.
You're telling people to give up. It's not helpful. You're working for Trump.
It's not clever. You're not helping. You're being a child.

"...it DID NOT give Trump blanket immunity..."My reading is that of a Supreme Court Justice. Go argue with her.
"The President of the United States is the most powerful person in the country, and possibly the world[ ...] Orders the Navy’s Seal Team 6 to assassinate a political rival? Immune. Organizes a military coup to hold onto power? Immune. Takes a bribe in exchange for a pardon? Immune. Immune, immune, immune."

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/jul/01/sonia-sotomayor-dissent-trump-immunity-case@clintruin I don't care to argue with you. You're telling people to give up. You're whole reason for being here is to tell us Trump has won. You've become MAGA by default.
They are murdering people. Now is not the time. Quit polluting the internet with your noise.
Dissent in a case means nothing. Shut up.

@clintruin Trump hasn't mentioned Canada in like a year and you're quoting the wrong things.
SHUT UP.

@clintruin Trump hasn't mentioned Canada in like a year and you're quoting the wrong things.
SHUT UP.
@clintruin ESPECIALLY SINCE YOU LIVE IN CANADA - YOU'RE TELLING AMERICANS TO GIVE UP AND GIVE IN TO TRUMP
YOU ARE A FASCIST

@clintruin @connynasch @theleftistlawyer The people trying to spread despair and discourage people from voting could be suspected of being bots working for Russia. I mean, that's what a reasonable supposition would be of such people.
@ariaflame @clintruin @connynasch @theleftistlawyer Suspected or no, they sure as heck are doing the work of Russia and the Republican regime by doing this.
ELECTIONS MATTER! Even *IF* the regime tries to stop the election that the Constitution and the laws require, we *MUST* resist that! Getting people to feel despair only and stay home and just forget it is exactly how the right got a convicted felon into power last year.

"Cynicism has never solved any human problem"Please understand I pray I'm wrong. I really do. But dangerous naivete has never solved any human problems either.
The President of the United States says he wants to make my country the 51st state, I believe my cynicism is well earned...not to mention FOUR YEARS of nothing after J6...the most clear cut example I have seen of treason in my lifetime.
@clintruin Trump doesn't want to make Russia the 51st state

Yeah. "Cynical". Riiight.
Talk about killing the bearer of bad news.

Gentle reminder that EVERYONE shot by ICE or the police is innocent. Every single one. Cops aren't Judge Dredd. A person is innocent until proven guilty IN A COURT, so until a person is found guilty by a judge or jury, they're innocent. They're ALL innocent.
@theleftistlawyer police are the worst vigilantes.

@iwein @crazyeddie @theleftistlawyer no, they are right - despite seeing the video the officer is "accused" of murder. There aren't exceptions to this. Not for ICE, not for pedophiles, immigrants or anything.

"Everything is ultimately peculiar and ultimately ridiculous."
- Thomas Ligotti@clintruin @connynasch @theleftistlawyer That doesn't address my comment. Did you vote last election? Are you acting to improve things? Or are you just giving up and trying to make others despair?
