So, storming a government building is a minor incident. And now there is precedence for that.
Go try it and see how much "precedent" protects you.
Minor incidents? A police officer died!
5 people died according to legal eagle video.
I had only heard about the police officer, 5 people is even worse..
I'd like to see the back the blue folks try to justify both sides of that
They won't. Why can't people seem to grasp that the hypocrisy is a feature, not a bug?
They. Do. Not. Care.
No need to worry, they'll be too preoccupied with arresting minorities
They just say the stroke he had the next day was totally unrelated.
Simple: rules are for people who aren't like them.
Their whole political philosophy is derived from this axiom.
In writing passive voice is less emphatic. Instead try active voice. "A bunch of deranged MAGA assholes (redundant) murdered a police officer by beating him to death"
Edit for active voice.
ACKSHULLY...
While you've chosen better verbs, that's still passive voice.
"A bunch of deranged MAGA assholes murdered a police officer by beating him to death."
Thank you for coming to my pedantic grammar lesson.
TY!
"A bunch of raging Trumpites beat a government pig to death"
Can we get a list of these animals?
I didn't realize beating a cop to death was considered a minor incident.
For a Republican, I guess it's no big deal?
Sadly, I predict that one of these "patriots" is going to have a "minor incident" with someone on Trump's enemies list, Luigi style, and will get immediately pardoned by Trump. He will say some shit like "This is what traitors deserve, he was just willing to do what the DoJ wouldn't."
The GOP will have a good look in the mirror, have a heartfelt discussion as to whether Trump went too far, then put on the red hat and have an equally heartfelt discussion about who can snap the best salute.
He doesn't need them. He is going to have the CIA NSA FBI all in his pocket with loyalist appointees
No, he doesn't need them anymore, except to continue grifting them. But you know they will try to off someone on that enemies list, anyway.
He also doesn’t know the CIA is all in. It’s much easier to just form a new unofficial group of Proud Boys who will be pardoned. Seeing as Trump can’t actually be held accountable for asking them to do things, it can’t come back to him.
The only solace I can find in this situation is that the worst ones will likely do something dumb and end up back in jail.
"A florida man" lol
Beautiful, but Trump could just pardon those charges too.
the recent crime wasn't for Trump's benefit, he doesn't care about that guy lol
True but the Jan 6 pardons were a big, performative, "I'm in charge again" thing. I doubt he's going to re-examine these. They've already served their purpose.
That's what they said the first time.
