  It’s bizarre to see somebody believe that not only will a former Olympic athlete be sentenced for touching paint but to honestly believe he could be beaten into brain damage and die from it.

  Chances are the guy walks away scot free and then sues the US Government.

    More things that you wouldn’t have thought possible in polite siciety have been happening in recent years.

        No no, see, these folks don’t count the genocide of millions and the people who suffered under street executions, illegal detention, and the destruction of families, for centuries because those people deserved it for being born wrong. Now it’s happening to white people! Can you believe that? My stars! Never before! Unprecedented!

    Wait until you find out what the current regime and its supporters thinks about being able to sue for violating the constitution.

      Frankly, I don’t care what the buffoon thinks.

      We took his name off the Kennedy building, we’re suing comanies for AI racial bias, we blocked his DOJ from collecting trans medical records, and we just told his ICE to fuck off from immigration hearing locations.

      The courts aren’t completely corrupted yet and they are still in charge.

        You sure about that? I’d live to have faith in the rule of law, but the trump admin is increasingly ignoring court orders, despite the public wins you mentioned.

        I really feel like we’re going to see the admin trot out the apocryphal Andrew jackson quote of ‘the courts have made their decision, let them enforce it’ in the next year or so.

    Sure it’s bizarre to see somebody believe that, but it’s because it is so easy to believe with all the shit going on, not because it’s something difficult to believe.

      Given the post, these comments, and that comment score I think it isn’t unrealistic to believe it’s just a bunch of fucking Tankies trying to normalize North Korea.

      Like yeah, the Trump admin is shit, and would have spiraled out of control if there were no resistance, but it ain’t fuckin North Korea. It isn’t even as bad as China.

    We’re saying we are seeing the end of that soon. We are being more oppressed over time

      I think he has a lot less support and authority now than at the start of his term.
