  • So one of the things that the majority said was that Trump’s pressuring of the justice department to “investigate” nonexistent voter fraud in several states by threatening to sack the acting attorney general if he didn’t was completely within his sphere of official duties, and thus immune from prosecution:

    The indictment’s allegations that the requested investigations were shams or proposed for an improper purpose do not divest the President of exclusive authority over the investigative and prosecutorial func- tions of the Justice Department and its officials.

    So, basically, the president can attempt to force the justice department to conduct sham investigations pretty much whenever he wants, and he’s completely immune from prosecution for doing so. So I say Biden should just order the justice department to go after literally everybody associated with Trump. Why not? It’s not like the courts could do anything about it now that the supreme court has issued this asinine ruling.

    Now, I’m not the conspiracy-minded type. I’m not going to say that aliens from some other part of the galaxy detected us as an emerging threat, and so sent a probe to our planet to spray stupid juice into the atmosphere. But if aliens from some other part of the galaxy DID detect us as an emerging threat, and sent a probe to our planet to spray stupid juice into the atmosphere, wouldn’t that explain, like, pretty much everything?



  • I mean, to be fair, you were kind of talking shit about their boss. It’s a hard living, being a Tankie. You’ve got to wake up every day, look yourself in the mirror, and decide to continue whoring yourself out to authoritarian regimes by posting a picture of a pig pooping on its own balls on the internet and telling left wingers that they’re fascist because they aren’t supporting Russia’s imperialist war.





  • Huh. I wonder if he was also socially awkward when he was raping Sally Hemings (starting from when she was 14 years old, younger than his daughter Abigail, whom Hemings was sent to care for), or when he convinced her to leave the relative safety of France by telling her that he’d emancipate her children, or when he was like: “lol u thought” and kept them enslaved for the rest of his life. So socially awkward. Such a quirky guy.
