          Remember, stealing from workers is good. Time theft is good. When you steal from the shareholders or other investors, that’s bad.

            You see, dozens of boomers excessive lifestyle relies on you being paid less than minimum wage. That’s why it’s legal and that’s why it’s a good thing that you’re starving to death while working two jobs and living in a dilapidated cardboard box.

        And women. And atheists. And non-hetero people. And people who match their definition of “woke”, which is intentionally extremely broad and nebulous.

    Seems a bit rich after their last supreme leader is facing 91 felony charges across 4 criminal indictments.

    DeSantis has signaled he is open to firing missiles into Mexico to kill narcotics kingpins involved in the trade of the synthetic opioid fentanyl that is fueling a deadly drug crisis in America.

    Okay. There are two methods for dealing with the drug problem. One is to use violence, and really doesn’t work at all until you manage to create a totalitarian state.

    The other is to treat addicts like humans who are suffering from a disease, and this one always improves the situation.

    Ron DeSantis wants to fire missiles into a sovereign country instead of taking care of his own citizens. What’s next? Firing a nuke at a hurricane?

    These criminals against human decency always choose violence first.

      Firing a nuke at a hurricane?

      Story time.

      I went to a tour of Fermilab, a particle accelerator in Batavia, IL. It started with someone explaining to the room of about twenty people about the general idea of how a particle accelerators work, and what they help us find out. When it came time for question, they first one was from a farmer looking guy sitting in the front row, who said:

      If those protrons and electrons are so powerful, how come we can’t shoot 'em into tornadoes and hurricanes and stop 'em??

      The pause from the speaker before responding was palpable. Sadly, I don’t remember the response, because this was in 1982.

    Sixth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution:

    In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence.

    Eighth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution:

    Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.

    In other words, fuck these unAmerican pieces of shit.

      If you’re the lawmakers then you can change the laws to make what you did legal.

      No crime here boss, just perfectly state legitimized theft and racketeering.

      See, we charged your money with the crime of being used for illegal purposes and since it didn’t put up a defense against itself we put your money in the prison of our wallets.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Trump received little political blowback from inside the party for his rhetoric toward crime while in office, when he routinely called criminals “animals” and “thugs,” noted Doug Heye, a long-time Republican strategist.

    Violent crimes, including rape and murder, declined in the United States in 2022 from the previous year, according to a report released by the Federal Bureau of Investigation this week.

    With Trump nearly 40 percentage points ahead of his nearest rival in the Republican race, his opponents are also incentivized to try to break through by putting forward attention-grabbing policy proposals, even those that appear to advocate state violence.

    DeSantis has signaled he is open to firing missiles into Mexico to kill narcotics kingpins involved in the trade of the synthetic opioid fentanyl that is fueling a deadly drug crisis in America.

    During the spring state legislative session in Florida, DeSantis signed a bill expanding the use of the death penalty by, among other measures, allowing its use in cases of child rape, which has not occurred in the U.S. since 1964.

    At the most recent primary debate in California in September, former Vice President Mike Pence said he would seek to accelerate executions of people involved in mass shootings.
