He could pardon people in immigration detention.

He could pardon people with federal marijuana convictions.

He could pardon people on federal death row.

He could pardon Julian Assange, Edward Snowden, Leonard Peltier, or any of the feds other miscarriages of justice.

But no.

He just pardons his crackhead son and leaves.

I don’t care

🤡

You say “even they” as if it justifies your beliefs, because they agree with you. Libertarianism grew from their classical liberalism. So what? Their ideas were shit.

I literally gave you books as citations.

But you don’t read books, so I’ll give you Wikipedia.

Jefferson has Black descendents and had a Black “mistress” who was, in actuality, his slave. Her name was Sarah Hemings.

During the Revolution, the Sullivan Expedition was ordered by George Washington to wipe out Iroquois villages that sided with the British. Scalping was widely practiced.

Bathing letting in bad airs is known as miasma theory. It was widely practiced all across Europe, from peasants to merchants to royalty. Tribes like the Wampanoag noted how fucking nasty they all smelled.

No Wikipedia for this one, but https://www.grunge.com/591432/the-staggering-amount-of-alcohol-the-founding-fathers-drank/

Now, how about you learn some history?

It wasn’t that long before you were born that the Black Panthers marched in the streets with guns to confront murderous cops.

Things look bad because people here have had it too good for too long. We won the Cold War, it was the end of history!

But the good times are coming to an end and America’s chickens are coming home to roost.

I wonder how many police stations will burn this time.

They’re currently in the process of exterminating 2.2 million people by turning Gaza into a concentration death camp.

The only difference from the Nazis is the Nazis had a larger starting population to exterminate. Other than the gross total, the methods are similar and the goals are similar. People in Gaza are being starved and butchered on a scale eminently comparable to the Holocaust and I don’t know how you can deny this.

From CNN

Hezbollah on Monday fired two projectiles toward Israeli-occupied territory, responding to repeated Israeli strikes that have hit Lebanon daily since Thursday, the day after the ceasefire came into force.

The projectiles landed in an open area and no one was injured, according to the Israeli military. It did not specify the type of projectile fired.

Hours later, Israel’s military said it began striking “Hezbollah terrorists, dozens of launchers, and terrorist infrastructure throughout Lebanon,” after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to retaliate, calling Hezbollah’s attack “a serious violation of the ceasefire.”

Lebanon “attacked” in response to Israel’s attacks, and it fired warning shots into an open field. Then Israel started hitting targets.

Israel is the aggressor, as always.

Do you think average people want that shit?

I wish I was part of a hive mind. 😔

I can’t help but notice you didn’t deny it.

Do you think that the police need a pretext to become violent?

I’m skeptical of all “outside agitator” narratives that seek to frame uprisings as illegitimate. The fact is, even if he encouraged other people to take direct action, the uprisings were the result of people choosing to take matters into their own hands after that. He didn’t start those fires.

I don’t condone individualistic violence! It doesn’t help and just creates chaos. We should be organized and disciplined, not burning random shit down.

But let’s not pretend the uprising was fake. The purpose of blaming him for all the other protesters taking their own direct action is so people like you are reassured that good USAmericans will never do anything drastic. That’s the actual function of this article.

Things can only get so bad before we hit a breaking point. It will come. Have some revolutionary optimism.

Ah yes, the independent thought and nuance of repeating the propaganda fed to you by your own government. You’re such a free thinker!

I recommend reading Lies My Teacher Told Me. Then, when you finish that, A People’s History of the United States.

But I doubt you’ve ever read even one history book that wasn’t assigned to you by a teacher.

USAmericans burned down a police station last time Trump was president. People got pretty close last time.

Every new little shitty thing only makes it inevitable.

Taking away people’s porn does, in fact, mean taking away some of those creature comforts.

And a lot of people are already pretty uncomfortable.

Where do you think Jefferson’s Black descendents come from? Who do you think paid the bounties for scalps? Germ theory wasn’t invented yet, they didn’t know why beer was safe to drink or why they needed to bathe. Settlers thought it was strange how the natives would strip naked and bathe in rivers - so uncivilized! Unlike Europeans, who would bathe as little as possible as to preserve their modesty.

All of this is easily looked up.

Your idols were evil morons. Read a history book.

They’re going to overreach so hard during this Presidential term, holy shit. There’s also many unpopular things they’ve wanted to do for so long and now is their chance.

I wonder what the breaking point will be.

The founders would routinely rape their slaves and participated in scalping. They were day drunk all the time because one of the best ways to clean water was to make it into beer. They didn’t believe in bathing, they thought washing the grime off would let the bad airs in and make them sick.

It’s clearly making fun of boomer humor. 🙄

He could still pardon them all, it’s not like his hand would cramp from signing too many papers! Go through, one by one, and pardon them all.

And all the people on federal death row, that Trump is going to kill.

And all the people with federal marijuana charges.

And people like Leonard Peltier and Julian Assange while he’s at it.

What’s stopping him?

smh that’s two words

the failing nyt cant even count

Infrared isn’t red, though. Seems like it’s worth making a distinction between different frequencies if the way it interacts with matter is different.
