It’s so fucking stupid, because Biden could have very plausibly used the same fucking laws to forestall the fascist upwelling in the US - but no, that would have been “too divisive”.
So glad we dodged that bullet 🤦♂️🙄

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Next up: dodging real ones.
Better learn to dodge real fast.
Biden was too weak, that's something we can all agree with.
Last I heard he was still about 3 miles up his own ass about how good he thinks his legacy is. What a completely fucking useless tool, honestly.
Neoliberals/conservatives are imperative to fascisms success. Without them, the conditions for fascism to flourish wouldn't exist.
Now all that's needed is redefining having a different opinion as being political violence, and America's transformation into a fascist dictatorship will be complete.
In fact, I think this approach was summarized best in Borderlands 2: "Did you know littering in [the city of] Opportunity is punishable by death? If not, you also ought to know complaining about Opportunity's laws is considered verbal littering."
Now all that’s needed is redefining having a different opinion as being political violence, and America’s transformation into a fascist dictatorship will be complete.
How about declaring opposition to fascism to be terrorism?
Just so, yes.
feels like Kirk was made a martyr by his own just for this
can't even sell a dime bag on the street corner without immediate arrest but dude rifles someone in broad daylight and gets away for a whole day
whole thing sounds too wrapped up and clean not to be another narrative controller
That's just the complete incompetence of the FBI under Kash Patel.
Plenty of people are still out there selling dime bags without issues, trust me.

And bless them too.
I'm sure it's no coincidence that RICO was used against trump in Georgia when he tried to force them to overturn the 2020 election... no coincidence at all.
Yup, Trump is so simple like that.
Fathers look at what happens when you don't show love to your kids.
Don't fuck up like Fred Trump fucked up.
Fred fucked us all.
Is there always some weird old law in the US you can use to justify your politics? Often I don't really get how the US legal system works. At the same time I guess this stuff is not really legal, but the broken jurisdical system makes it possible...
There's often even some verse out of context in the Christian Bible to justify shitty behavior, in the name of God. It's turtles all the way down.
