You wanna really turn up the Lonnie hate, don’t you Lonnie?
They reeaally doing anything they can to get that martial law step started from their project 2025 handbook
Nazi child of apartheid encourages elevated racial tensions, more at 11.
Really, really nasty move.
Do you want riots? Because that’s how you get riots.
I wouldn’t be surprised if that is not the point.
actually, yes. I think they do.
Huh. Makes sense then, the pardon. Jesus Christ.
Not saying you’re wrong just want to understand youre thinking why would they want riots? Isnt that the only real threat to them?
trump has been looking to apply the insurrection act since his first term. with the various sycophants in congress and the executive, there has never been a more opportune time (other than tomorrow, of course).
as to why… well, trump has gotten even more messianic since his first term. suppression of dissent would be a powerplay that may yield significant dividends, showing loyalists the need to stay in the camp and detractors what happens when you resist.
just my 0.02
Triggering division as an excuse for suppression is Dictator 101.
Your political opponents are lawless? That means you can legally crack down on them.
It has the side benefit of stirring the shit/divisions which is what keeps Trump in place.
Makes sense thanks for explaining
Mhm. It’s understandably counterintuitive, and indeed a problem for “regular” politicians.
You’d think it would make Trump lose support, and to some extent it does, but I guess you also have to understand how warped the US information environment is. Anyone who cares about George Floyd and actually sees this in their news feed would not support Trump anyway, whereas that’s not the case for nearly any past president. Supporters who see the riots would write them off as not Trumps fault.
Enact martial law, take over all legislation, be a dictator. Job done.
That’s why he’s firing everyone at the top of the military who isn’t a white male.
Authoritarians equate fear with respect. Aggressively putting down a riot makes people scared = people respect them. It is the same reason Putin jails critics inhumanely or Kim kills families of defectors in NK. If people lose their fear of them these despots are powerless.
Dude will still spend 22.5 years in prison even with a pardon.
Non American here, how does that work?
The president can pardon him on federal charges. He still faces the 22.5 years on state charges. Basically, he was convicted of murder in Minnesota, and then civil rights violations in federal court.
Getting classier by the day. Fucking embarrassing
A possible motive is to push the power of the executive. If Trump can somehow seize this power, there’s nothing that can stop him.
That or just trying to embolden the police, but I’m guessing it’s even worse than that.
A gun. A gun can stop him. They work well. American has more guns than people, and a second amendment designed to stop this nonsense when needed.
It’s needed.
No arguments from me bud
I’d say it’s to embolden police and violent racists, in hope of helping encouraging their race war to destabilize the country so that they can divy it up.
The interesting lack of forethought from the oligarchic billionaires is that their billions mean nothing without the US dollar and NYSE. The majority of their hoards of wealth are not backed by anything tangible that could be of use in the event that the US dollar ceases to be relevant. I suppose that this kind of thought isn’t likely to occur to sociopaths that were born with platinum spoons in their mouths.
Yes - just as with the DEI controversy, the main point is just to fan the flames of racism.
The 1% understand that the US is approaching a breaking point. Things are going to shit, and people are going to start looking for someone to blame for the ugliness and horror and death to come.
And the blame falls squarely on the shoulders of the 1%.
And of course, they don’t want us to see that. So they’re doing everything they can to divide us against ourselves.
But that guy was convicted of murder wasnt he? Is Felon now doubting a jugdes decision? I really think he is losing his shit. Did for sometime but now its getting obvious.
Elon’s brain got damaged by ketamine usage. At his level of power and wealth, he basically runs the planet and the drugs embolden him to shamelessly call for whatever shits he believes
He’s basically Baron Harkonnen with a broken dick.
Gotta throw red meat to the racist AF base to distract from how fElon and his Incel Clown Posse is stealing from the American people…
Literally Orcs.
“But of those hapless who were snared by Melkor little is known of a certainty. […] Yet this is held true by the wise of Eressëa: that all those of the Quendi that came into the hands of Melkor, ere Utumno was broken, were put there in prison, and by slow arts of cruelty and wickedness were corrupted and enslaved. Thus did Melkor breed the hideous race of the Orkor in envy and mockery of the Eldar, of whom they were afterwards the bitterest foes. For the Orkor had life and multiplied after the manner of the Children of Ilúvatar; and naught that had life of its own, nor the semblance thereof, could ever Melkor make since his rebellion in the Ainulindalë before the Beginning: so say the wise. And deep in their dark hearts the Orkor loathed the Master whom they served in fear, the maker only of their misery. This maybe was the vilest deed of Melkor and the most hateful to Eru”
Yeah that tracks with this timeline.
Not gonna happen, he can cry about the federal charges but MN has him owing 22 years.
That’s encouraging. Thanks!

Oh boy. I mean sure, pardon the federal charges.
He’s still got time he owes Minnesota about 20 years yet. I don’t know what the laws about where he serves are, but I don’t imagine he’ll be placed somewhere better.
Prisons in Minnesota are much more likely to have inmates that he personally arrested, so moving from federal to state prison would be significantlyworse for him

The real trick is the fact that both of these do damage, and you can’t afford to ignore either.
Signaling to the police that the executive branch has your back and will support you when you kill poor black men is going to get people straight up murdered.
It kinda feels like both hands are doing a lot of damage…
