    Much as I appreciate the faltering popular base of MAGA, anyone who thinks these shitheads have abandoned their most heinous opinions is living in a world of naiveté.

      just because they’re abandoning dumpy, doesn’t mean they’re going to abandon being racist, homophobic, transphobic etc. if anything, they may well become MORE bigoted.

    Really unfortunate timing for him. Trump just got a $1.776B slish fund to bribe supporters, influencers, and other powerful people with

    Could have gotten a whole lot of money off that corruption

    It just kills me, “Hang on, we’re about to storm the capitol building? Let me not take a shit, put on my fur, horns and makeup real quick. This is gonna make history.”

    What a waste of vaginal dryness.

      Let me also go unarmed, that’ll be a successful insurrection against a government with tanks, F-35s, and satellite tracking!

        That’s because it wasn’t a real insurrection. It was a Trump-planned insurrection LARP that turned into a mob after all these noobs got too into it. They were organized and supposed to go in and out, making quick death threats at the Congresspeople who opposed Trump along the way. Showing “the public doesn’t agree with this” even if they didn’t manage to murder some enemies, instead it turned into memes and the collateral deaths.

        To be fair I would take the fuck out of a pardon if I ever got one. Literal get out of jail free card.

          I’m pretty sure there is no choice. If you’re pardoned then you’re released. You can try and stay in prison but they’ll drag you out just like they dragged you in.

          Except you admit guilt by accepting the pardoned and commuting your crime. You can never ever change your plea or answer.

          But otherwise, yeah, I agree.

            Why would this be true?

            If you pled not guilty, got convicted, and got pardoned, that would imply admitting guilt?

              Because you automatically admit guilt when you take a pardon. Please whatever you want, taking a pardon makes you instantly guilty of the crime regardless.

              You can also no longer plead the 5th, you MUST answer questions regarding your crimes and the crimes of others.

              It’s more like you can plead not guilty but still be convicted. So by accepting the pardon you are admitting you are in fact guilty. Kinda fucked in other situations really.

          The people creating and supporting that system do deserve it though… it’s just the taxpayers don’t deserve having to pay for their parasitic asses any more than they already have.

      MTG ended her political career over the same thing (plus support of Israel). It doesn’t mean they learned good values. She’s still racist. I heard he plans to run for some office and I imagine we’ll learn his current beliefs and they’ll resemble the MAGA days.

      But they can become fed up with a lying asshole when he’s lied enough times. I was genuinely surprised when the crazy asshole MTG broke. Now I hope we’ll see a lot more. Again, they’ll still believe terrible things, but I like the idea of his (Trump’s) fragile ego suffering. The reality is he’ll probably take it out on the rest of us and it’ll suck no matter what.

        MTG fell like so many before her. These people shove their whole head up Trump’s ass hoping to curry favor, ride the wave and get access. If they try to exert the influence they think they have gained, but get caught on the wrong side of a narrative shift, or are unable to reach an unrealistic standard of their cult, they get fucked.

      The US does not nor has it ever had a left wing party or even any notable left wing representation. Even if you made a point with that statement, it would be a moot point.
