There’s few weaker positions than an authoritarian attacking dissent.
Deteriorating old man spews word salad when his night goes slightly off-script
You should be who they hire for article subject lines.
Yeah yeah, release the Epstein files.
Of the 330M+ people in this country, some 220M are antifa. Good luck arresting them
Some of them would gladly send 220M people to their deaths, it’s their fucking wildest dream to send all ‘the bad ones’ away for good. This is literally devolving into humanity at its worst.
Just because you didn’t vote for Trump doesn’t mean your Antifa. You could be just Enablefa, nihilfa, or survived getting kicked in the head by a horse.
As usual those who do not see clearly, believe antifa is a real organization. IF you do not vote for a fascist, you are antifa, like it or not. The only way you could not be antifa is to subscribe to, be a party to, or admire fascism
I would put emphasis on the anti part though- if you are just sitting at home smoking weed and playing videogames when you need to vote or be in the streets, you are not resisting fascism.
That sounds harder to get a grand jury to agree to move forward with charges on than a ham sandwich.
"I mean, they were just shouting, basically, in his vicinity,” she said.
“Repeat what you just said. I mean, honestly. So you’re asking whether there was damage done by four individuals screaming and yelling at the president of our United States while he’s trying to have dinner. That can’t be a serious question,” Blanche fired back.
Jesus Christ…
To be fair, she’s right that asking her to defend her 🤡 position can’t be a serious question.
Well good thing we have a Constitution to protect us, right everyone? I think we should all be making sure we have hard copies for the future or it too will be destroyed like Wikipedia probably will be.
Fun fact: Some dictatorships also have constitutions “guaranteeing” freedom of speech.

Article 35 Citizens of the People’s Republic of China shall enjoy freedom of speech, the press, assembly, association, procession and demonstration.
This is America right now.
“Could” face RICO charges but WILL not. Because nothing the protesters did was a violation of any part of the RICO act.
Greenpeace just got hit with a bogus private Rico lawsuit in North Dakota brought by the oil companies. They did all of these mailers as well to all the perspective jurors.
Sadly what I’ve seen from the judicial system whenever trump starts to throw laws around hasn’t been a stellar response, so while I’d like to have full faith in said system, I don’t.
A grand jury would have to indict them, and DC grand juries are hostile to Trump’s bullshit. Faith has nothing to do with it.
… they could face federal anti-racketeering charges that were designed to bust up organized crime.
Not even the Onion could come up with something this bat-shit silly.
It’s now a crime for hurting baby Donnie’s feelings. Oh, poor baby Donnie. Do you need a lollipop baby boy?
Yeah, the Cop City protestors finally got this dropped.
Georgia judge to toss landmark racketeering charges against ‘Cop City’ protesters
The defendants faced a wide variety of allegations — everything from throwing Molotov cocktails at police officers, to supplying food to protesters who were camped in the woods and passing out fliers against a state trooper who had fatally shot a protester. Each defendant faced up to 20 years in prison on the RICO charges.
Only one of those things should be a crime!
Edit: and tbh, I don’t really care about the one that is a crime
Oh my God, the amount of Idiocracy is off the charts with this bullshit.
Reminder that Idiocracy had a good President.
Good luck making it stick.
They don’t even need to make it stick. Just being arrested for something like this can ruin a person’s life, and the legal bills could be financially ruinous.
“The process is the punishment.”
It won’t get that far. DC grand juries are refusing to indict for these trumped up charges.
“Have you ever been arrested for a felony?”
Never seen a job application with that on it. “Have you ever been convicted of a felony?” Sure, but never what you said.
Here is a lawyer who says that it’s one of their most common cases, employers who ask if somebody has been arrested at a job interview.
https://www.reaveslegal.com/faqs/-have-you-ever-been-arrested-.cfm
It apparently varies from state to state if, and when, they can ask that question. It’s also worth pointing out that any lawyer worth their salt (like the lawyers who work on behalf of the ACLU) would take steps to see that record erased or limited in how it can be used.
And unless you are completely desperate, why would you work for someone who looks down on you for being arrested for standing up to fascists? Being arrested for that is a badge of honor.
By the way, Trevita17, I can see that you downvoted my other comment. Did you do this in retaliation, thinking that I had downvoted your comment? I didn’t, and you can see that with this link, which is the same service I used to see your downvote. I don’t approve of using downvotes like this. Comment downvotes should be reserved for trolls, spam, and serious misinformation.
Still, an employer might have two applicants who they otherwise have a hard time selecting between, but one has been arrested and one hasn’t. They will probably choose the one who hasn’t been arrested. I would say that’s the bias against somebody who has been arrested is the whole point of asking the question.
I love how the free speech guys support all of this
It was never about “free speech”. It was always about suppressing anything that might offend ALPHA MALES
What a completely stupid waste of resources and degradation of the meaning of law & justice. If the words and application are made up, the whole thing loses meaning. Never mind a sane prosecutor knowing there’s little chance in court.
People called you a shitty name. Aren’t you supposed to “be a man” and just get over it? Isn’t this just snowflake behavior? /s
The point is to waste the other persons resources. Even if / when it’s dismissed it may bankrupt them.
Trump is (and has always been) “Mr. waste of resources and degradation of the meaning of law & justice.”
If the words and application are made up, the whole thing loses meaning
Almost as if that’s the intention…
