That guy looks like he was breastfed until he was 14.

Paint chips are still his favorite cereal

[–] Carvex@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago

His family tree is a stick.

[–] Zahille7@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

And had the same hair since he was 6

It's only 728 weeks

I can't unsee it

"if your not careful we will start enforcing the law on your guys too!"

Wow, what a zinger. I'm sure everyone is scared of that happening.

I wonder what he thinks Bidens crime is. Ah yeah, an "invasion" from the southern border. So not treason at all, just the usual made up scare mongering.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 18 points 10 months ago

You weren't really expecting logic or reason, right?

[–] newthrowaway20@lemmy.world 33 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Do it you dumb shit. Show me state, my ass.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 26 points 10 months ago

Yeah, Biden is always committing insurrections left and right. Like just the other day he did one. BoTh SiDeS!!11

We're in a race with Arkansas to be Mississppi.

[–] brlemworld@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Ohio is pretty progressive

[–] TWeaK@lemm.ee 14 points 10 months ago (3 children)

I wish Biden would sue him for defamation.

[–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Or just have him arrested for treason, he is attempting to give aid to Trump, who tried to use fake electors in an attempt to steal the presidency. I would list anyone who tries to steal the presidency as an enemy of the state.

He can sit on those charges until a judge gives conviction. (I doubt there would be bail on a treason charge, and the only out if convicted would be a federal pardon)

It would put a stop to that malarkey real quick

[–] TWeaK@lemm.ee 4 points 10 months ago

That's a fair bit more serious, and much harder to prove. To convict this guy of treason, you would also need to convict Trump of treason, and both would need to be proven beyond reasonable doubt - ie it is more than 99% certainly true.

Defamation is a civil claim, which means it is decided on the balance of probabilities. This means whichever side tips the argument past 50%.

[–] theodewere@kbin.social 4 points 10 months ago

would be nice if someone started using the organs of government to punish traitors and crooks

[–] Zipitydew@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I'm cool with fast forwarding to the phase where it's socially acceptable to shoot fascists.

[–] TWeaK@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I'm not, because no one with a gun should be able to decide who is and is not accetable to shoot.

[–] sylver_dragon@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

But The Terror looked like so much fun! Why wouldn't we want to replicate that here?
