  • What is giving you the idea that a pardon automatically admits guilt? I've seen this so many times and it makes absolutely no sense. There's one court case from the 20's in which the court suggested that accepting a pardon "may imply guilt." And there's like 528 court cases saying the opposite. There's also nothing in the verbage of a pardon that states that. It simply removes any legal consequences from relevant acts. I'm not sure why so many people insist that if you accept any type of pardon for any reason, you are confessing to have perpetuated whatever you are accused of. It makes absolutely no sense. You could be guilty as hell. Or you could have been on the other side of the planet and accused of something random. I'm either case, all a pardon does is just get you out of trouble.

    This isn't to say that I think Giuliani is innocent or anything. He's a complete and utter dirt bag. But of all things, him merely accepting a pardon is not the smoking gun a lot of people seem to think it is.

  • They said that over and over too lol

    “Roe v. Wade is not going to be overturned. We all know that.”

    • Chris Collins, R - N.Y.

    “I think the likelihood of Roe v. Wade being overturned is very minimal. I don’t see that happening, truly I don’t see that happening.”

    • Joni Ernst, R - Iowa

    “Well, I don’t think anybody is going to overturn Roe v. Wade … it’s a settled opinion … I doubt seriously that that’s really a legitimate concern.”

    • Orrin Hatch, R - Utah

    I could go on and on... Now they're saying the exact same things about same sex marriage

    Fool me once, shame on... shame on you. Fool me - you can't get fooled again.

  • And what the hell is the republican answer for why it was so important that people not get slightly more affordable healthcare that it was worth starving people.

    Immigrants. It was always immigrants. They repeatedly blamed it on immigrants "stealing" tax payer money thru ACA even tho that's not really possible except for extreme circumstances that typically account for less than 1% of the funding for the program.

  • They will give him the nastiest look you just wait

  • The full presentation is 10x weirder. He says the robots will eliminate poverty and provide universal health care. In fact, he says the only way we can get universal health care is with optimus robots. He also says that with optimus robots we don't need prisons. We just have an optimus robot follow criminals around and it will stop them from commiting crimes.

    He also sounds like a 5th grader nervously stumbling through a speech to their class about Luis and Clark.

  • I don't even know if it's that. I wonder how much of it is just "shit is clearly bad... Let's please just try something different and see if it helps."

    We've been doing the exact same stuff for so long and everything gets worse. The current administration's solution is to just go backwards and try the old stuff that didn't work again and see if it will work now somehow.

  • The song this is from (Doot Doot by Skrilla) is such an insanely monumental piece of shit lol. Its difficult for me to even consider it music.

  • That's just what the corpos over at Big Rhesus Monkey wants you to think.

  • That guy's Instagram is like an antidepressant lol.

  • Just wait until Gen z and Gen alpha grows up and becomes the journalists.

    The president SKIBIDI RIZZED the prime minister over the weekend.

    34 die in middle eastern artillery barrage... IN MINECRAFT

    Google announces new AI sex bot will replace all need for romantic relationships, NPC Unc Tech Bros say they're totally DELULU

    Lab grown hot cheeto dust: BUSSIN NO CAP? or EXTRA MID?

  • He has demolitional immunity!!!

  • Idk, they make it abundantly clear in that interview that they are angling for a third term and skirting the 22nd amendment. He can blabber all he wants about technicalities but at the end of the day he explicitly states he'll have another term, shit he even said two if that's what they need to "finish what they started."

    Just think about a 90 year old Donnie rolling around the oval office in a mech suit or something with his head in a glass jar Futurama style. We're gonna be so great...

  • It was also very strongly touted to be one of the biggest reasons for the economy being as rough as it is. The brown people are taking your jobs and wasting your tax dollars and murdering your children and eating the dogs... A ton of people voted to get them out to save the economy. The funny thing is a ton of those people are/were the main reason prices aren't higher. It's a self own in like 12 different ways.

  • I mean the entire doge "savings" were instantly wiped out by the $200 billion increase in military spending. And I say savings incredibly generously because there are a ton of studies that say the agencies and people they cut will leave a hole in federal capabilities that will end up costing the American people way more than all of the money they claim to have saved (Some speculate the massive cuts to the IRS alone will end up costing about $1 trillion in lost tax collections).

    But this combined with the cost of the shutdown and the farmer bailout and so much more is just icing on the cake I guess.

  • This is nothing like nazi Germany. For one, there's a whole ocean between Germany and the United States. For two, that was, like, a million years ago. So... Yeah.

  • The fact that it's a picture of Jessica Simpson from the movie Private Valentine should tip some people off. Oddly enough they photoshopped the pic to change her name from Valentine to Lena and added nips lol

  • Careful. That sounds an awful lot like something a domestic terrorist would say!!! 😲

  • Everything he does is because of some declared emergency. It's ridiculous and hilarious at this point.

    Tarrifs - an economic emergency (with every single country with which a tarriff is levied)

    Deploying the National Guard - national emergency of foreign invasion by immigrants somehow invading the usa

    Literally blowing up 4 vessels (so far) in international waters and killing civilians - a recently declared "non-international armed conflict (niac)" with the gang tren de aragua. Basically saying the country is currently at war. Also declaring gangs as international terrorists gives them the ability to indiscriminately do whatever they want according to them.

    Arresting immigrants without warrants, forgoing due process and deporting to wherever the fuck they want - national emergency of foreign invasion by immigrants somehow invading the usa

    Dismantling or destroying any organizations they just simply don't like and arresting and killing, if necessary, their members - recently released NSPM-7 which basically declares anyone having just about anything to do with anything even remotely left leaning as a domestic terrorist. This includes anything "anti-American, anti-capitalism, and anti-Christianity; support for the overthrow of the United States Government; extremism on migration, race, and gender; and hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on family, religion, and morality" which can pretty much apply to anyone ever.

  • Yeah I haven't kept up with it but for a while there around me, these had a huge problem of people cleaning them out and selling all the decent books in them for some cash. Rinse and repeat every time it was restocked.

    Why isn't Lemmy searchable on a search engine?
