    I’m so glad all I ever did in politics is build some homeless shelters a few decades ago. Shouldn’t be enough to get me noticed.

    A random idiot posts random bullshit on social media – but we gotta take it seriously because they might end up being attorney fucking general. Welcome back to the Trump era.

      It’s alright, it’s been prefaced.

      They want to do violent stupid things legally. But because Trump is in charge, I guess all violent stupid things are legal now.

    Remember a few years back when we’d have a running gag of saying something violently over the top and adding “in Minecraft” to the end? Some dude on 4chan got arrested for doing that with death threats, and yet for years I’ve been hearing other people, guys with actual political power and platforms, muttering “politically” after way worse shit. It’s a good thing whenever anyone acts on anything it’s a false flag, it’d suck if they ever had to face any consequences.

      Well yeah, when you have the power of the state on your side you can say or do whatever you want. If you’re a random citizen, get fucked pleb.

    Trump just has to say, “…as an official act”, then he’s a-OK to go with whatever, however unconstitutional it may be.
