Imagine if this is what finally gets him that Time Person of the Year issue he’s always wanted. And they use the mugshot.

As another user pointed out to me yesterday, a lot of these people are brought into right wing politics by some tangentially related content. “How anime went woke!” “Does watching Dragonball make you a liberal?” “The left is attacking anime!”

You like anime and watch those videos, get mad about your favorite character being a woman now or black instead of white, whatever. That leads you down the ShitTube rabbit hole that is designed to direct you to anger inducing material that is related to what you watched, so now you’ve gone from “why is Naruto becoming BLM propaganda” to “the left is literally the antichrist and wants to kill the entire world and make you gay only Trump can save us.”

So you think all of this investigation and the resulting indictments and court cases are entirely fabricated? Would you mind explaining how you arrived at that conclusion?

You won’t get a serious reply but it’s a good question to ask.

Considering most law enforcement are worse criminals than the people they’re arresting…

This stupid response is why I hate the quote from this article. It will be taken out of context (it already is in this post) so these people can make it sound personal and frame it as such. Just take the mugshot and when challenged say you’re treating him like everyone else, don’t crow about it beforehand.

Having said that I don’t think acting like an adult will have an impact on people like jcb2016 so maybe I’m wrong.

The guy hoarded nuclear secrets, attack plans, DEFENSE plans, ordered people to “find” votes. As an old guy who unfortunately was once a Reagan republican the GOP acting like this is mind blowing to me. The man is a traitor.

Right? Reagan was just as petulant and vindictive. He happened to have an absolutely perfect enemy in “the communists” and riled enough people up to stay in office for 8 years. We can be thankful that, so far, Trump has just been far, far stupider than Reagan when it comes to committing crimes.

First, some of you seem to be missing the word “unfortunately” in my comments and in my defense I was young and raised that way. Second, social policy wise yes but am I/others not allowed to learn, grow, and change? It is not a natural progression just a likely one, again unfortunately. Third, sucking Russia’s dick and selling US intelligence? Fully bonkers. Opposite of natural in my personal opinion.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
