Florida has sunshine laws that mean any charges filed are immediately open to the press for publication. Crazy shit like this goes on everywhere: We just hear about it when it happens in Florida because it's so easy for the media to get hold of the information.

You may be underestimating their desperation. Unfortunately, you may also be overestimating the resilience of the majority of people. If the covid measures are reintroduced, there may not be as much resistance as we're hoping for.

Yes.

Fuck The Police is the one thing I wholeheartedly agree with the left on. The difference is that my "Fuck The Police" is not conditional on whether they're Federal agents investigating Trump for political reasons or county sheriff's deputies conducting illegal searches of your car. Fuck all of them with a splintery wooden dildo.

Well this might be the only Canadian television show produced in the past several decades to not be boring as fuck.

I for one will enjoy watching the flames.

Black men, specifically men, who manage to climb into the middle class might be slightly more inclined to support Trump-like populists. Not conservatives, and even then, it will be a minority of them. I could see a future where 20% of black men vote for someone like Trump. But their support for rightist populism won't last longer than that particularly charismatic candidate does.

On the plus side, this might lead to the authorities actually locking up a few favela gangsters, because they certainly weren't using the gun laws, the racketeering laws or the laws on violent crime for that purpose.

Wait a minute, isn't "coon-ass" used to refer to white Louisiana Cajuns? As a Canadian with no Francophone ancestry whatsoever, I am deeply offended.

I don't think it will matter at this point if he is convicted. 55% of Americans believe the prosecutions against him are politically motivated, and that number seems to be going up every time a new indictment is introduced, not down. There's even almost 20% of Democrats who are willing to admit publicly that they believe that. Convicting him might sway most Dems and some independents against voting for him, but the working class MAGA base will only be more determined. At this point, they'll vote for Trump in a jail cell or they won't vote. No other Republican would be viable even if Trump dropped out of the race tomorrow.

As for rigging the election, the renewed COVID panic being propagated by the state-media complex is clearly intended to lay the groundwork for mass harvesting mail-in ballots again, but it really looks like the only places where it will work are already deep blue. I don't think people in the swing states where they need to pull the most bullshit will tolerate another million or three mail-in ballots.

12: Even harsher rhetoric employed against apostates who've left the cult than against those who've never believed.

Whatever the result or the intention, the spurious prosecutions have only made Trump supporters even more determined to vote for him, and perhaps even some people who were not his supporters before.

All these indictments have made it impossible for the Republican nominee to be anyone but Trump. I'm only half-convinced it was deliberate.

The narrative the left is running with about this, to deflect from the fact that the worst serial killer in UK history is now a woman, is that the hospital admins didn't do anything because it was a brown nurse reporting on a white nurse. Literally, "this white woman got away with killing a bunch of white babies because of racism."

Stalin actually studied to be a priest when he was a teenager.

Later he had a whole bunch of priests shot.

Latest in a long list of mysterious fires this year, especially in places where rich people like to buy property. And go figure, all of the middle class homeowners in Maui lost everything, and the billionaires are buying up all of the land.

We are destroying American democracy by weaponizing the justice system in a series of malicious and spurious prosecutions against our political opponents. Here's why that's your fault.
