You want riots? Cuz that’s how you get riots. Then again, they totally want riots.
I'm genuinely worried there's going to be a US Tiananmen Square equivalent at this point. And I don't just mean the massacre, but the attempts to cover it up as much as possible.
All while the world just sits back and hums loudly.
Trump did praise China for that massacre before
Of. Fucking. Course. He. Did.
What a goddamn anti-human demon.
a federal pardon only moves him from a (relatively) safe federal institution out-of-state, back home to minnesota--and a potentially much more hostile environment, to serve out his longer state sentence (and iirc, scotus has already rejected an appeal of state conviction)
While i do agree that they want riots so they can do shit like martial law and all that, I think they're underestimating how pissed off everyone is. There's only so much bullshit they can expect us to put up with in such a short amount of time which I think is the biggest mistake they are making. Their "rapid fire" approach is only accelerating everyone's anger faster than if they were subtly destroying everything over the course of months.
Guy Fawkes masks and Luigi caps are all on backorder, with no ship dates before December 4th.
a large group of people wearing both of those would certainly be a memorable visual
