Are they planning on storming George Washington’s nostrils while there?

Combined with yesterday’s light sentencing of another fascist insurrectionist, it looks like our judges have not studied enough history to know what happens to a liberal democracy when the perpetrators of a putsch are coddled.

What are the odds she used the same meaningless drivel word-for-word during her participation in the Capitol riot?

Note to everyone in Guantanamo: A little performative Christianity will turn the sternest authorities soft and stupid. If even faking it bothers you on a spiritual level, just sarcastically ham it up. Nobody will be able to tell the difference.

  1. Storm the Capitol over a false dispute about the election.
  2. Claim sovereign citizen status, even though you’re white and have all the privilege.
  3. Go to a monument built on sacred Indigenous land, and celebrate the anniversary of your divestment from the parent company.

Yes, exactly. It absolutely helps to be pale of skin to get leniency in America for trying opposing the government… if you’re Black, they just execute you without a trial for even trying to make positive change…

That people can get away with any kind of illegal behavior just as long as they are White and have money.

Same judge. It is worth noting that the government didn’t oppose it either. :man_shrugging:
