We truly live in the worst timeline.
The people who hid Anne Frank and her family were guilty of obstruction, too.
Yup. The holocaust was legal. Slavery was legal. Hiding Jews (to help them escape the holocaust) was illegal. The Underground Railroad (to help slaves escape the south) was illegal. Legality often aligns with morality, but legality cannot be used as a basis for morality. Because throughout history, people have used laws to justify heinously immoral acts.
Legality often aligns with morality
I’d say it “sometimes” does.
For the major crimes, yes.
Murder, theft, etc.
But for other crimes, like the one in the article, it’s moral to resist.
The vast majority of laws cover petty things that may or may not be moral rather than the big stuff, though.
The vast majority of laws are regulations. And the vast majority of those were written in blood.
They can mostly be summed up as, “don’t do that, or do this specifically, because someone could die otherwise”.
The big ones, yes. A lot more are “Don’t do this because it isn’t in the best interests of those in power for one reason or another.”
“I took six parking spots, three handicapped, as a moral and political position and statement. As such my actions are protected political speech and unless you are duly sworn in by the coast guard you can’t do shit you see that gold fringe on my license placard? I answer only to the Admiralty Board. Now agents of corporate have put three boots on and a glued this mermaid titty clamp onto the front of my primary turbine familiar domicile conveyance and I mailed them a quit and go away deed. They ain’t quit and go away. What words I need put on my quit and go away deed?”
How close is sometimes and often? Close enough, no?
“Often” means more than “sometimes.”
When were talking about simple ass shit that we probably barely need a legal system to deal with, sure.
Don’t kill, don’t steal, don’t rape, these are rules that every man of any creed can live by (sorry, had to)
But as soon as the law gets more complicated than “don’t visit violence on others unprovoked” it just becomes the state threating you to do what it wants
So she gets convicted of obstruction, but Trump steals and hides classified documents and is basically apologized to for the inconvenience of getting charged?
Not just apologized to but he also just sued the government for a $230 million payout for being investigated over illegally keeping the documents and its up to the president and head of the DOJ whether to pay it 🙄
The USA is a facist country now. laws are only for the poor and the opposition. Try to keep up.
We’re too stupid a country to be fascist. We’re a popularity contest made up almost entirely of mean girls.
Fascism does not require intelligence. Kind of the opposite actually.
That’s fascism. Its a vibe only worldview. Because, differently from socialism or grassroots movements, post truth is better than real actions done by real working people.
America hasn’t been a nation of laws in a long time, if ever.
“Jury of your peers”
More than half our peers are fascists and their sympathizers
A “fascist sympathizer” is just a fascist.
The other half are useful idiots.
Hey, non-voters and protest voters, y’all fall under that “sympathizers” bucket. Have the day you voted for! ✨
Non-voter: “but 1 didn’t vOtE!”
Everyone else: “Yeah you did. You’re just too stupid to understand what you voted for. Or make any effort to.”
Someone hasn’t looked at the election data for 2024 because those people wouldn’t have made a difference in the outcome, but whatever it takes to keep the heat off the people and party actually running the “opposition” campaign, right?
Did you just make the factually wrong claim that non-voters wouldn’t have made a difference in the 2024 outcome if they voted?
Well at least you’re dishonest about it
This is what your 4th or 5th reply and you’ve provided exactly zero facts to suggest that anything I’ve said is wrong. Now, why would that be?
I swear if the Democrats do not pardon her, they will lose any banking left as people are helping in what they have been saying. We need to let them know that it’s on the list of people that need to be given a damn pardon.
Fuck maga, fuck trump, fuck these fascist traitors.
Attacking an independent judiciary is a clear, unequivocal sign of unbridled fascism.

Matter of time INS becomes Deportation and Denaturalization Services.
Someone set up a Go Fund Me account for the nice lady.
When reason is restored, every member of this jury will be found and held accountable for enabling this fascist abortion of Constitution, law, ethics, and morality. No treason will be forgotten or forgiven. Not one act.
The state can remain irrational much longer than you can remain free
Appeal and get a new judge. I wouldn’t trust any of this.
Show’s how worthless the “law” is for any judgement of an action as history has always shown.
No amount of therapy can fix the reality of the country like this
Lol during my therapy sessions I talk abt how I’m personally doing better but the state of the world is magnitudes worse in every respect. Also my healthcare premiums are skyrocketing and I either pay it or get screwed and walk away from my therapist cause I can’t afford out of pocket sessions.
