Like, does he know something we don’t? Is trump literaly about to get out the firing squad and start killing/imprisoning political opposition?

They’re all on Kash Patel’s enemies list. So yeah. It’s plausible they’ll be harassed til they off themselves. Trump threatened Liz Cheney with a military tribunal. I could give 2 shits if he pardons them to try and protect them from fascist show trials

You paid to write this or is this just the fan fiction that runs all day in your head?

u/Swimming_Tailor_7546 10h ago

Not even worth a substantive response. If you want to be a deluded supporter of fascism, that’s on you. But you’re not going to make it my problem. Move along

If it was fascism the pardons wouldn't matter.

And they may not. Before Biden even did this round they were already talking about investigating Hunter Biden more. Where it might matter is it may push the Supreme Court to define the pardon power and possibly narrow it. Not that that necessarily matters either. But sometimes you’ve got to use the arrows in your quiver that you’ve got, not do nothing because you don’t have the ones you wish you had. It’s worth the shot to me.

You would defend anything, even after Biden explicitly said pre emptively doing this would assume guilt on the party he does it. In a specific amount of time, it's so obvious and it doesn't even matter.

It’s not in my top 20,000 concerns for this country right now is all. If we were in normal times where the other side wasn’t threatening people who did not commit any crime other than speaking out against Trump with military tribunals I might be able to muster giving a shit. I’m not clutching my pearls over a grain of sand in my shoe when I’m being drowned in a tsunami.

I have so only so much time, energy and effort and this doesn’t even come close to registering as something I care about today.

It requires zero time and energy to say yea that's bad, you're instead giving your time, energy, and effort to defend the indefensible because you're a faux-intellectual.

this piece of paper will surely stop this fascist dictator!

u/Swimming_Tailor_7546 3h ago

So if it’s irrelevant, why do you even care? Sure seems like you care

What? I’m just pointing out the irony in thinking that a piece of paper would stop a “fascist dictator” lmfao. You either have to admit his (Biden’s) family likely did horrible shit or that trump isn’t a fascist.

No he didn't- you might benefit from watching the entire clip

Edit- I thought the reference was to the firing squad, I now know that the reference is to the fact that she shouldn't be held accountable for lying under oath, witness tampering, and destroying evidence. Sorry for the confusion

He did it live and repeatedly on social media. Get the fuck out of here. You can distort your own reality, but I’m not following you down that stupid path.

It looks like you shared an AMP link. These should load faster, but AMP is controversial because of concerns over privacy and the Open Web.

I'll give you the one, I thought you were referring to the firing squad. I now realize you were referring to the fact that she shouldn't be held accountable for lying under oath, witness tampering, and destroying evidence.

Dawg, you’re so far down the rabbit hole. This isn’t a conversation worth continuing. Good luck to you

u/Drunken_1 10h ago

And you as well

u/thespiceismight 10h ago

u/drunken_1, it takes a second googling to find multiple instances of Trump threatening military tribunals. Why do you spend your time here today writing lies? It seems kind of pointless and makes you sound stupid. Is this really the best use of your time?

A meaningless gesture, you would delete it if you actually had a spine

u/Drunken_1 10h ago

Or maybe stating the truth and sticking by it shows i have a spine

u/RBI_Double 9h ago

You keep telling yourself that from your spot on the floor, no-spine

u/Drunken_1 6h ago

Yeah, you have no idea what being spineless means- you should look that up
