Imagine how much the world could be improved by one lucky meteor strike.

Not to mention that Nixon was the one who started the whole thing so he would have a tool to use to harass and arrest blacks and hippies.

In a 1994 interview, Mr. Ehrlichman [Nixon’s domestic policy chief] said, “You want to know what this was really all about?” He went on:

“The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and Black people. You understand what I’m saying? We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or Black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and Blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did.”

Good. Wish he’d done it a year ago, or 4 years ago.

Holy shit… this isn’t an Onion article?

You’re not supposed to try and overthrow the government either, but I guess the times they are a changin’.

I am going to buy a flag just so I can fly it at full staff when this orange turd goes to meet his maker.

The reason is that one is trained to (supposedly) keep the peace and prevent and investigate crimes. The other is trained to kill people. Military methods are incompatible with effective police work.

Tilting at windmills is one of my few pleasures in life.

The president-elect concluded that he won a second term “in a landslide” (he didn’t), adding that American voters “have spoken” — which is true, though not at all relevant in this context, since the electorate’s verdict was not directly related to the defendant’s criminal indictment.

Um, what? True? He won, yes, but he did not win in a landslide by any definition. He didn’t even win with more than 50% of the voters. Trump won 49.9 percent of the vote… in what world (other than in his own addled mind) is that a landslide?

Be fair. The billionaire class is starting to find it hard to get richer. The poors will just have to tighten their belts for the sake of the insanely wealthy.

And if anyone would know an evil racist, it’d be someone who looks at one in a mirror every day.

Up to a year, up to. I’m betting on 1 month of home confinement.

Clearly, such pardons would be intended to tell his followers that if they commit crimes to help him, he will pardon them for those crimes. I don’t see how this could have any other effect than encouraging more violence.

Too autobot-ish.

Member of Parliment.

Following Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s resignation announcement on Monday, Trump claimed credit for the decision, saying that people in Canada “love” the idea of becoming a U.S. state. This prompted Ford to make his own comments about acquiring U.S. territories.

…snip…

Canadian MP Charlie Angus rejected the idea outright, pointing to differences in the nations’ laws. Angus stated on X that Canada has rules preventing “sexual abusers” from becoming leaders, a clear reference to allegations against Trump.

I would love to have seen Trump’s face when he heard that rejection.

*POOF* He’s now your manager for the next 40 years at a restaurant where you work for $1.79/hour plus tips.

The department attempted to contain the fallout by quietly adopting a new social media policy in July 2015 that explicitly prohibits discriminatory speech and threatens termination for violations.

Makes sense. We don’t care if you’re racist, just don’t advertise it because it makes the department look bad.

*glances at Bernie Sanders*

Maybe not.

Why wouldn’t they be able to tell him to fuck off? Trump has no authority whatsoever over the New York State Bar. They can and will simply ignore his tantrum.
