Silicon Valley oligarch wants to bring back public executions.
"If I’m in charge later, we won’t just have a three strikes law. We will quickly try and hang men after three violent crimes.
"And yes, we will do it in public to deter others.
“Our society needs balance. It’s time to bring back masculine leadership to protect our most vulnerable.”
It’s so funny to read that and then look at Joe. 'Cause I’m pretty sure Joe ain’t gonna be one of the ‘Alpha males’ come the his revolution.
Joe best get some knee-pads and stock up on lube for when he’s (not) in charge later.
In your gimp suit or on it!
Mass murderer Kyle and piece of shit lawyer defend a monster. Sheriff calls them out. Absolutely disgusting.
That’s a pretty spectacular takedown by the sheriff.
Ritterhouse could have turned his life around after his trial. Instead, he decided to become another scummy grifter.
I guess Kyle Rittenhouse is lucky Joe Lonsdale wasn’t serving on his jury.
I know he’s not very bright. How on earth does he justify this as a stand your ground case? I think I answered my own question, but damn.
Easier than working at a job. His job prospects are slim - his notoriety, thanks to his terrible life choices, and his lack of brains and skills have left him without much of a future outside of scamming the rubes.
Well, the guy who got arrested is white so we know he can’t be a criminal.
He killed the “right” people, which is what “stand your ground” has been consistently used to mean in court. Somebody can succeed (and have) with a “stand your ground” defense where they shot a fleeing unarmed man in the back. But he was black, so killing him was OK.
“Stand your ground” is in practice just legalized murder. Rittenhouse getting away with murdering protestors is exactly the sort of thing “stand your ground” laws were written for.
We’re taking about the Michael Rediker shooting incident in Florida.
Rittenhouse claims Rediker was attacked by three people and used stand your ground. Even though
Rediker had driven his tractor a half a mile IIRC into the victim’s property.
Rediker first beat down the victim’s wife.
The man went to assist his unconscious wife. He did not attack Rediker.
The man was unarmed.
Rediker shot him in the head.
But hey, those five-year-olds with him were scary!
Luckily for him, the ruling party is located right on the corner of Evil Avenue and Stupid Street.
Whoever selected that photo to run at the top of the PennLive article deserves loads of praise.
One of the primary goals of US gov right now is to enrich Trump family… This is just insane.
And gambling industry has potential to be worse than illegal drugs…
While the Biden administration sought to rein in this industry, Trump’s regulators are breaking down barriers to allow it to flourish.
More than $2 billion is now traded every week on Kalshi, an amount the company says is 1,000% higher compared to the Biden years.
Polymaket, which was forced in 2022 to shut down in the U.S. for operating as an unlicensed betting site, recently won the Trump administration’s blessing to re-launch in the U.S.
The Trump family is also getting in on the action. The president’s son, Donald Trump Jr., is on the board of Polymarket, and his venture capital firm invests in the company. He is also a “strategic adviser” to Kalshi. Truth Social, the president’s social media site, is planning to launch its own prediction market called Truth Predict.
Who cares about the well-being of people, THERE’S MONEY TO BE MADE and we have the power to steer it our way.
Would that it only were a Trump-faction issue…
But does he have a laptop?
This will not stop people without ID from driving. It’s just a voter-suppression tactic, plain and simple.
John Boyd Jr., president of the National Black Farmers Association, was denied access to a recent White House farm meeting and was told the administration is no longer prioritizing DEI, Black farmer issues or small farmers.
“They said they were moving away from the Black farmer issue. They were moving away from DEI and the small farmer issue, and they were focusing on low-scale white farmers and corporate farmers because they produced the most food, is what this administration said. And they told me they may come back in a couple of years and revisit the farmers of color issue, but right now they were moving away from it. And where’s the accountability? I’m a farmer just like anybody else.”
Umm John? In light of your recent education you might want to reconsider the truth, or lack thereof, of that so very naïve statement.
He’s a farmer that happens to be black. He’s still a farmer.
Maybe it’s naive for him to think he would be treated the same, but his statement is the truth.
