Sounds about right, considering ACAB.

What a disgusting person he is.

[-] slurpinderpin@lemmy.world 31 points 3 weeks ago

All law and order, so long as it's the peasants. Not his God-daddy Trump though

Yes, and I watched the interview. He's very much mocking the Democrats in charge of California for being "soft on crime":

“And so they let them out, they give them food, they give them housing, they give them money, they give them drugs and alcohol now, and I gotta be honest, I’m getting tired,” Bianco said.

In a tongue-in-cheek delivery, Bianco implied he was done fighting against the tide and trying to enforce the laws and thus, “switching teams” and instead endorsing a convicted criminal in Trump.

“I think it’s time that instead of letting them out of jail and and giving them alcohol and drugs and everything else, I think it’s time we put a felon in the White House,” Bianco said.

My absolute bad. The article implies the opposite of what he did.

Right, the entire thing was sarcasm. But his point was "hey we're letting off these petty criminals in my state, so I'm just gonna say it's completely fine to put a felon in the White House"

His whole point was to mock the Democratic leadership of his state, trying to equate their criminal justice reform to Trump's conviction. As if they are even remotely related

I had to go find another article to understand what was going on. Sorry.

The idea that calling trump a felon is somehow sarcasm doesn't compute. He is. I don't sarcastically call the sky blue.

[-] slurpinderpin@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah no worries at all man, it was a weird press conference lol. I think once you see how he's ripping criminal justice reform it becomes a bit clearer

"All these Dems are letting people out of jail for shoplifting! Well, might as well put a felon in the Oval!"

It's just disingenuous bullshit from the Right, nothing new

[-] MagicShel@programming.dev 2 points 3 weeks ago

Like... I would totally go to Trump loving folks and be like, "you got me. I'm on team Trump now. Before he was a felon, I couldn't stand him, but now he has experienced the abuses of the criminal justice system that is a daily fact of life for so many, particularly black people, and I think we should have a president who understands their plight."

Now, that would be deadpan sarcasm, but I'd say that. Which is what I really thought the article was saying. I read it multiple times trying to understand what was going on.

[-] slurpinderpin@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Haha yeah I live in a city that’s majority black and some of my friends at the local dive bar are actually saying stuff like that. I just keep my mouth shut because I know they’re in the minority with that opinion but it still blows my mind

In other news (hopefully): Sheriff locked up for being on the wrong side of the law he was meant to enforce.

Come on. Help me manifest this.

[-] slurpinderpin@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

Isn’t Riverside where Scientology has their big HQ?

[-] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 weeks ago

Yep. Or atleast one of the bigger compounds, its over in Hemet.

[-] slurpinderpin@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

You think thats where they have Shelly locked up?

[-] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 weeks ago

They prolly have a tonne of folks locked up there. Fun fact I deliver shit for work and I ended delivering coffee there.

[-] slurpinderpin@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Aw damn hell naw I’d refuse lmao

[-] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 weeks ago

I just dropped it at the gate, it was a literal cardboard box with the word delivery sharpied on. As for actually doing it well nobody wants to deal with my feral looking Redneck ass. Ive got the brow ridge of a fucken Neanderthal ill ooga booga caveman slam them if theyd try anything.

[-] thefartographer@lemm.ee 7 points 3 weeks ago

I agree wholeheartedly. Let's start with Danielle Metz

[-] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 weeks ago

For karmic justice alone, might I suggest Leonard Peltier.

[-] thefartographer@lemm.ee 2 points 3 weeks ago

Wow, I was looking for nonviolent felons, but this is an incredible option. Put them both in the running and we'd probably have the largest voter turnout ever. With people actually choosing a preferred candidate, not the less shitty one
