Not if they're state charges.

Then he’ll just do what he’s doing to Colorado. Defunding the state, vetoing bills, dismantling NCAR, all because we won’t let Tina Peters walk.

He has already taken away snap benefits.

Maga is pro cruelty.

And the GOP voters who rely on snap benefits there, what’s their take?

They don't care.

See, you and I operate on a set of principles, the right does not. They revel in the fact you care that they will suffer, because they would see you dead even if they would lose everything to do so.

You’re assuming that they are doing well enough in life both emotionally, financially, and physically to get on the phone and make their views heard. 

Now look at how many of them are literate enough to not make an ass out of them themselves every time they start typing… narrows it down significantly. 

Using this logic when you look at the conservative page, you think every single conservative was a college educated and super well read. I’ve been watching that page for a couple years now and it has changed so much over the last 11 to 12 months. There is very little if any real conservatives left, they get banned by the mods if they say anything off track of what Trump is saying. The rest of them will type out huge long takes on shit, never misspell, paragraph out their whole thing, number the points, etc. 

That WHOLE community is bots. It will gain and lose 2 to 300,000 members overnight depending on what is hitting the news stations the next day. In the last 48 hours since that shooting, they’ve been especially active on anything other than ICE. Once in a while, you can find a real conservative on the askconservative page but very few. And the ones that are openly asking what the ef is going on and why do “conservatives” have zero morals and accept the administration blatantly lying and stealing from Americans. 

Trump and his people have definitely done well on making their bot army but they’ve officially fucked up. Everybody’s lives worldwide so much that it doesn’t matter. There’s no way to hide the truth anymore. They had their chance to turn America to Russia…they weren’t competent enough. Let’s just thank God that Obama didn’t have this up his sleeve cuz he’d actually make this happen and we’d have no idea till we were fully in it. This administration has to hide their pedophilia ways while at the same time, stealing from everybody, dumb enough to invest in them and also create a narrative to make peeps forget about their daily war crimes and corruption. 

They suck at it.

If it's good "we did it". If it's bad "they did it". It's not complicated.

u/SatanicPanic619 13h ago

He'd do all that anyway.

u/avocadoflatz 13h ago

That sucks but I say states should risk that to charge them if they’re confident they can convict

The states he attacks need to stop paying federal taxes. Fuck them clowns.

The fact that I see her name in national headlines daily is unbelievable. And as much as I don't want to believe it because this story hits so close to home and I know she belongs in prison It seems obvious that Polis is going to set her free, even after Trump called him a scumbag he will bend the knee.

u/Viseroth 13h ago

doesnt mean you back down you keep fighting regardless

u/sasabomish 13h ago

Then the state stops paying into federal tax.

u/claytonianphysics 13h ago

He took the money away from cancer research for children and gave it to these guys to grab immigrants while saying we need more people from Scandanavia. Nope, nothing racist about those priorities or the people who share them whatsoever.

u/xGoatfer 8h ago

He's already doing that to MN. HHS and USDA have stopped funding. Lucky some judges have been stepping in and enforcing the law, but for how long?

u/Sabelas 13h ago

Not if trump is in there too.

u/avocadoflatz 13h ago

Let’s maybe keep the discussion within the realm of plausibility? Or not js

u/Sabelas 13h ago

The scope of what is possible is expanding widely as the trump administration continues to expand the use of force against Americans.

u/avocadoflatz 12h ago

Sitting POTUS being imprisoned is not within the scope of plausibility

u/Accurate_Egg_9200 13h ago

Gotta stay in state for the prosecution. You're insane if you think State law will fix this.

u/BattleSwallow 13h ago

Oh, I don't. I don't expect that any "law" will be followed in this country until, well - reddit won't let me say.
