For all the cries about it being political persecution, I haven't seen anyone prove any of the evidence being used against him is false. Courts don't take up cases without merit. The actual abuse going on is a minority of politicians trying to suppress the will of the American people.

These crybabies won't do anything to start a civil war. They're spread too far apart, they don't have enough of their own resources, and if somehow they were able to break off some piece of the country, who is going to be trade or political partners with a cesspool that is still surrounded by a super power and it's friendly neighbors? This isn't the 1770s or the 1860s. They have no powerful support abroad. This isn't a group of people with plans. Just a bunch of scammers pulling a long con on rubes.

Ignore them. Let them eat themselves. Let them keep telling us who they really are. From watching the debates, half of them seem tired of this BS themselves.

The whole reason "persecution" is the main talking point is exactly because there is no legitimate defense. There's not even an illegitimate defense that they can float to the base, so the only thing left is "witch hunt".

Agreed. If there's evidence you did something, there's only yourself to blame. I don't care if it's Trump, Hunter, the Sacklers, whoever. Own up to what you did. And if you're ok with someone hurting people or try to cover it up, you aren't really any better

I'm not on his side. but selective application of the law is still abusive. just looking at the veracity of the evidence to assess fairness is disingenuous.

That sounds like a threat.

Yet Republicans are perpetually surprised about how armed liberals are in any state.

We just don't gobble each others dicks about it while fantasizing about killing people we don't like lol.

Good luck with your little man syndrome war Palin. I'm sure it'll go about as well as your insurrection.

They were so pissed when that one Drag story time had armed leftists standing guard a few months back. W-w-why are they armed? 😂

Fuck around and find out traitorous fucks

It's amazing how much the party of criminals is circling the wagons around the most criminal president in US history.

[–] flipht@kbin.social 21 points 1 year ago

Really? Because the leaders just surrendered in Atlanta. Again.

[–] Davel23@kbin.social 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

We're not going to keep putting up with... what? Upholding the country's laws?

[–] anon6789 4 points 1 year ago

To be fair, that policy has worked for numerous people through history! 😓

Doesn't have to this time though!

[–] SpunkyBarnes@geddit.social 11 points 1 year ago

Why does anyone waste a column inch on anything that witch says?

I could see the US breaking up along political lines, but that's going to go a lot worse for most Red states than they think it is. It's still pretty unlikely.

What's likely going to happen is just more bitching and moaning and gerrymandering.

[–] freeman@lemmy.pub 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Honestly that won’t happen. But even if it did. Most of the US agriculture comes from red states.

The cost of food will skyrocket with tariffs.

[–] Cylusthevirus@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Actually California makes over 11% of US ag output and rather a lot of that gets exported.

Please just realize any article about Sarah Palin is basically clickbait. She has nothing of substance to offer, and no one is more informed after hearing her hot takes

"If you have the facts on your side, pound the facts. If you have the law on your side, pound the law. If you have neither on your side, pound the table."

I do not give a shit what the traitorous quitter says. She needs to shut the fuck up & mind her own shitty family circus.

[–] xc2215x@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sarah Palin wants it to happen.

[–] snooggums@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

She should be on the front lines of that revolution, like that lady on Jan 6th.

Irrelevant lady says something to try to be relevant again, this should be considered a viable threat as she is signaling

[–] JelloBrains@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

Sure it will, I was also told his supporters would swarm the courthouse in Atlanta if he was charged there, and yesterday it looked like 20-30 people bothered to show up.

[–] CeruleanRuin@lemmings.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Lol, when was the last time anybody gave two moose shits what Sarah Palin had to say? This isn't news.

[–] Lettuceeatlettuce@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Nice to know the nut is still as nutty as ever.

[–] SomeGuyNamedPaul 2 points 1 year ago

Just a reminder that she named her son "Trig" who has "Trisomy G"' which is the modern term for Down's Syndrome.
