In an earlier post I made the point that more than 90% of the January 6th insurrectionists who are serving prison sentences were sent away for assaulting police officers, but that Trump is referring to them as “hostages,” and promising to pardon them if he is elected.
So, in essence, the concept is: everyone who breaks the law deserves to be punished except for a) those who attack law enforcement personally at the direction of a former president, and b) the former president himself, who has complete immunity from criminal prosecution, regardless of the nature and severity of the crime he committed.
Does the word “hypocrisy” come to mind?
The cartoon here by Dan Piraro speaks nicely to that as well.
Until Trump came along, I would have said that the Twain quote here was intended as humor.
Now we can see how true it is, as we have an entire voting bloc rooted in ignorance and confidence.
The reader who sent me the meme here writes: No problem. I’d also feel safer that no liberal crazy would bust in and harm me.
I wonder how many people have been injured at polling places in the 250-year history of the United States, and I’d be particularly curious as to how many were hurt by liberals.
As is the custom of the day, we’re fabricating data to scare idiots into demanding solutions to problems that don’t exist. Voter fraud is virtually nonexistent, and among undocumented aliens it’s almost zero, since they don’t have the ID to get on the voting rolls in the first place.
The foreign policy of the United States is a catastrophe, putting it mildly.
We could begin with the tearing upon of the internationally negotiated treaty we had with Iran, and then starting a war with them shortly after “obliterating” their nuclear capacity. From there, we have the attempt to annex Greenland from our (former) NATO ally Denmark, trying to make Canada our 51st state, taking over the Panama Canal, and capturing Cuba and Venezuela.
In all, we’ve become a rogue, pariah nation.
