I’d feel a whole lot better if there were a system tha would prevent autocrats from just bailing out their rich friends & acquaintances…

Should pardons really exist though?

Agree

Yeah, we really suck right now.

I hope they leave her the fuck alone.

Wow

Haha, thanks friend. I didn’t type it for upvotes or downvotes though, I was just annoyed. I get that it’s unpopular. It’s a lot easier to just be angry. I prefer to be both angry and annoyed though. 😅

Give me a full quote… all I’m saying. There’s not a single sentence.

Edit: my bad, I just realized your quote was the one full quote in the article that I’d missed. Lack of coffee. Still, a whole lot of editorializing around a bunch of partial quotes.

And again, fuck white nationalists.

Fuck white nationalists, but this article seems like a sensationalist headline with little actual backing. They don’t give a full quote of a single sentence of his speech, and seem to take a lot of liberties connecting the dots. I don’t know anything about this guy, and he may well be a piece of shit, but I don’t trust this style of reporting.

This year, Schmitt, a sitting senator, outdid them both. Schmitt opened by reiterating the antisemitic tropes of his senior colleague. America is threatened by the “elites,” he declared, “who rule everywhere but are not truly from anywhere.” This is the “rootless cosmopolitan” trope at the heart of modern antisemitism. They serve “global liberalism” and “global capital” and support mass migration, he continued, a nod to the “great replacement” theory, which blames Jews for replacing white Americans with nonwhite immigrants.

Didn’t republicans do the same shit? Not that it’s justified either way, but I seem to remember arrest threats against the republicans and at the time thought it was some shitweasel behavior by them to dodge some stuff. I feel more sympathetic to us being shitweasels against facism though.

Fuck

Jesus fucking christ

I don’t remember seeing it.

Likewise. I think I’ll toss in a little extra, just to be sure.

lol, people downvoting but that’s top notch.

You may ask yourself “what happened to the nuclear arsenal?”

That’s regular crypto. This is that plush a dash of trump. I’d stick with only the first half of your advice. 😉

Your name is correct
