If you haven’t read the Colorado decision, the dissenting opinions are interesting in how diverse they are.

I haven’t had a chance to yet, but I plan on reading them this week.

That’s a great question. I’m not sure we will really know what the precedent will be until it happens.

Perfect explanation ☝️

It would be truly glorious to watch all these ball-coddlers have to tuck tail and try to save their own asses from their knuckle-dragging constituents.

I agree. I think every single non-Trumper in this country should vote for Chris Christie in the primary. He is the least dangerous candidate, it will piss off Trump the most if Christie is the nominee, and you can guarantee it will mean a third party run for Trump. Seems like a net win all around.

The jury decided the punitive damages should be, well…punitive. They added $100 million on to the requested compensatory damages because clearly they wanted to drive home the point that lying, scumbag, decrepit, pieces of human garbage who try to justify overthrowing the government by claiming fraud and then blaming that fraud on random election workers should get fucked for life.

You really have to appreciate the fact they called this thing “Deep South”.

Wisdom comes from the understanding that there is nuance to everything. Only those who lack the maturity to understand this concept or benefit from those who do attempt to paint the world in black and white.

No, you do not rile me up. You do not trigger me. I was illuminating the issue with your argument so other people who stop in here may gain some insight. In other words, I am using your ignorance as an example so those with more intellectual honesty might benefit.

That’s not a “yes or no answer”. Are you refusing to answer my question because you feel your answer might serve to incriminate you?

Notice that this stupid fucking cunt has zero issues supporting Donald Trump’s absolute and unequivocal right to free speech regardless how violent or psychopathic his rhetoric may be. This has nothing to do with employing moral consistency in dealing with complex free speech issues because these people have no fucking morals to begin with. All they understand is remaining in power, and saber rattling in order to rile up their base of knuckle-dragging constituents.

You’re never going to convince these true believers that the DNC is corrupt, and regularly rigs the system in favor of neo-liberal candidates. They can’t admit they are suckers for the same kind of brand loyalty and fetishization of party that exists on the right.

Having gone through a lot of death in my early life, including the death of a parent, I can relate. The reverberations and consequences of that trauma can have far reaching affects that you really subconsciously internalize, and often aren’t able to deal with until much later. Only now, in my 30’s, am I starting to really understand the complexities of how my childhood affected me.

With that being said: Hunter Biden was DEFINITELY the product of nepotism that afforded him the opportunity to indulge his hedonistic tendencies in an attempt to avoid the pain of his trauma, and he likewise bears the responsibility for his unethical actions as we all do.

However, I think it is also quite clear that what is being done to Hunter is a direct attempt at using the judicial system in order to manufacture a false equivalency between the soft-corruption of Hunter Biden and the MASSIVE corruption of Donald Trump et al., which is obviously patently absurd. Hunter is not an elected official, and him falling on his sword will only serve to weaken Biden both personally and politically which is exactly what the fascists in the GOP are counting on.

Seriously, imagine being so fucking stupid, self-entitled, and scientifically illiterate that you cannot accept the brutality of the real world where fetuses can have genetic defects that make them non-viable. I’m not even surprised anymore by the sheer level of willful stupidity and back-bending these fucking morons will go to in order to satisfy the infantile fantasies of their supporters.

In a just world all the women Ken Paxton has caused life-long pain and suffering would be allowed to slowly slice off his genitals with a mandoline or a zester.

“When you talk to god, that’s prayer. When god talks to you that’s schizophrenia.”

I’m sorry you are struggling, but remember to take care of yourself. You are worth it, and you can make it through this. ✊️🫶🙌

Yeah, let’s waste more time arguing over who’s fake deity causes them to get the most “unjustly” persecuted. That has worked out so fucking well in the past. The fact that we have broad access to the internet, and yet people still choose to believe this shit is an abomination.

This has nothing to do with antisemitism, and everything to do with censoring dissenting voices who oppose the violent collective punishment being committed with US taxpayer dollars. I’m so fucking tired of this shit.

There’s a bitter irony in the face of the system collapsing not because the masses rose up and fought for a better future, but because those seeking to enslave humanity finally got everything they thought they wanted…

I think I did actually misread a bit of what you wrote initially. I originally took your comment as you saying that you thought it was unlikely he could stop stepping on his own dick long enough to actually institute tin-pot authoritarianism. After re-reading both your comments I do believe you understand the threat that we are facing. So, forgive me there for misunderstanding your position.

However, the part that scares me the most is the fact that all these legal proceedings are going to turn him into a cornered animal. Every vindictive, vitriolic, nihilistic, violent part of him is going to be ratcheted up to a truly unhinged level that I believe will fracture his personality. Once he is made to feel vulnerable he will lash out at everything and everyone that made him have to go through one fucking second of cognitive dissonance.

The most dangerous people are the ones who are capable of being truly dishonest with themselves.
