January 6th will be fun

lmao no, Biden isn't going to block the National Guard from arresting everyone if people try to attempt a coup again. Enjoy your night in military jail waiting to be handed to the feds.

True. However there would still be incredible violence, bloodshed, and discord. It might be even more chaotic and destabilizing for the nation than it was in 2021.

It's time that the boot lickers learned how the boot on the neck feels.

No mercy should be shown to these traitors.

[–] jlh@lemmy.jlh.name 1 points 1 week ago

Criminals should still be shown compassion. Eye for an eye makes the world blind.

I would also like to share this story in the Washington Post (arc'd) about how some Republican states are refusing to allow DOJ election monitors in even though that seems like a violation of federal law, but every time I try to post it I get an error message

I wish them the success of Ashli Babbit

Unhinged. These people are not well.

Patrick Byrne, the former Overstock(.)com CEO who donated millions of dollars to efforts investigating the 2020 election, warned on Telegram this week of a cyberattack that would rig the election and lead to imminent “death and cannibalism” unless Americans stand together.

Pretty sure making threats like that is a crime

[–] Dkarma@lemmy.world 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You found a threat in that word salad???

[–] Hugh_Jeggs@lemm.ee 1 points 2 weeks ago

*Sentence with more than ten words or two commas

*Americans so used to dumbed-down soundbites - "Is this a word salad?"

I'm so confused as to why citizens are donating in order to help investigate an election.

[–] Jumpingspiderman@reddthat.com 1 points 2 weeks ago

It's probably Oligarch money.

Load up on tear gas, Capitol Police.

[–] IchNichtenLichten@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

Trump is on record as being tough on criminals so the cops shouldn't hold back and play nice.

Sandbags and machine guns.
