"This is B.S.—you were doing this as a dilatory tactic to help your political friend," says Rachel Maddow on the Supreme Court agreeing to hear the Trump immunity argument, delaying his coup trial. "And for you to say that this is something that the Court needs to decide because it's something that's unclear in the law is just flagrant, flagrant bullpucky."

    Because the police in the US are not bound by the Geneva Convention nor rule of law. Because the middle class is lucky if it is buried in a mortgage, student loans, inflation, and multiple jobs and is too scared to do anything to lose anything else.

    And look at the Seattle CHOP. Or Portland riots. Or the ones in the middle of the country. Or in Rochester, NY. WHERE WERE YOU THEN ? Were you in thee streets fighting the armed, far right terrorists ?

    Or anywhere Black Lives Matter because black Americans are the ones leading a route to change and often without support as people say “Why aren’t we rioting ?” We rioted in Atlanta. We riot in Missouri.

      Well in Seattle, before CHOP, that bitch ass east precinct started all the violence on cap hill, every single night. Then abandoned shop as if they were under attack, which they weren’t.

      “THE BEATINGS WILL CONTINUE UNTIL MORALE IMPROVES”

      and those far right terrorists? Yea, those were ICE and BP in unmarked cars, in civilian clothing, pulling up throwing bags over people’s heads and throwing them in the trunk. People just walking home from work, not even involved. Pure fucking terrorism. That’s what Trump levied against the PNW.

      I’m not fucking kidding either. This whole place is fucked, not even worth the paper the bullshit sanitized lies we were raised on.

        How many felonies does convicted rapist Trump have pending?

        You’re right, America don’t have time for that.

        If Trump weren’t such a dip shit, he could’ve sold red MAGA facemasks, establish a new mint to meet his payout, and kept the 11000 votes he needed in Georgia alive and won reelection. Substantially more than 11k Republican voters had died in GA between Jan 2020 and Nov 2020.

        His negligence killed his own voters. That’s not 4D chess. That’s dumbstruck stupidity at the highest level.
