We’re acting like this shit isn’t a direct threat. Absolutely amazing to me. Its kinda like the end of the prequels (they sucked, btw): so this is how democracy dies…

How are they convinced these are political persecutions? I'm so sick of this crazy shit. Every talking point I see posted I have to hear at work all day.

[-] [email protected] 31 points 2 weeks ago

They aren't convinced at all. It'll give them unwinnable court cases that they can use to rally their base for reelection who will be so mad their witch hunt isn't successful they won't notice the GOP fucking them from every which direction.

He’s not talking to you or me. He’s talking to idiots and racists in swing and red states who watch Fox.

Absolutely fucking terrifying what they are advertising and how it’s not being cared about. In addition to the lies and other shit, of course.

So the state of New York went after Trump and scored 34 convictions? And this is somehow a federal/Presidential matter? Biden couldn't interfere if he wanted to. States rights anyone?

Y'all libs need to get strapped and stand by. They're ramping up to running trains. Think it can't happen here?

We honestly don't have the infrastructure to support an efficient genocide of liberal ideology due in large part to conservative politics. They defeated themselves.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago

Of course not! The trains don’t work here. /s

“I think the criminality of the Biden border policy should be looked at.”

Sorry, Lindsey, but the SCOTUS just ruled that literally anything the president does officially cannot be "looked at."

[-] [email protected] 18 points 2 weeks ago

Well, King Trump I will just look at it anyway, and have Biden prosecuted anyway. It'll be HIS official act, and that will (forgive me) trump any of Biden's official acts. We all know the protection of immunity is for them, not us.

This SCOTUS is so corrupt.

I honestly feel like I should start buying guns to protect myself in the near future

[-] [email protected] 10 points 2 weeks ago

Do it. You'd be amazed at how many people on the left have done so.

My husband and I did. We've trained extensively. I can guarantee you the other side knows how to use their weapons. It feels ridiculous, but I really think bad things are coming and we'd better be prepared.

I hope y'all laugh at me and call me ridiculous, but I'm truly concerned.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago

Yes, you should. And train with them. Find nearby like-minded people you can train with. You don't need many, but you really need to know how to use them.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

I'm competent with guns, I just don't own many. I have a single pistol I got for free. Hooray for the fall....

As bad of a rep as they get, having an AR-15 is a really good idea. Readily available parts and ammo. Very easy to use. Easy to clean. Overall a good choice.

Buy bolt cutters and an angle grinder too

Watch Blanche wilt like a flower in the South Carolina sun when trump’s people start loading gays onto cattle cars.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


South Carolina’s Republican senator Lindsey Graham warned of retribution against Democrats amid Donald Trump’s ongoing criminal cases.

In May, Trump was found guilty on all 34 counts of falsifying business records in a historic criminal hush money trial that involved adult film star Stormy Daniels and Trump’s attempts to influence the 2016 presidential elections.

Speaking to Bash, Graham continued: “This country is going to have a reset here and using [Joe] Biden’s standard of glorifying political prosecutions, a Pandora’s box has been opened.

Bash, who co-hosted the first presidential debate between Biden and Trump earlier this week, replied: “Sir, you just warned of retribution.”

Bash went on to ask Graham if he felt comfortable with Trump’s response to her question on whether he would accept the 2024 election results, regardless if he wins or not.

During Thursday’s presidential debate, Bash and her co-host Jake Tapper took a hands-off approach in factchecking statements from Trump and Biden, which prompted criticisms towards CNN for letting false claims – mostly from Trump – go unchallenged.
