    Not gonna read this, if Trump was ever going to face consequences, it would have happened by now. The rapist is gonna die peacefully in his sleep eventually. There is no god.

      Literally the most hilarious thing I’ve read all week. Honestly I wonder if anyone who was involved in this article actually believes that.

      It just reads like more placation of the angry masses. “no need to burn things down, we promise he will be gone soon, no protesting necessary either”

          Myself after being born into white trash in Texas, never having love for this country, having to stave off poverty for two decades during my lifetime, having taught myself code as my peers resigned themselves to manual labor, and having no options to emigrate out because I have no ties to any origin countries that make up my genetics.

          I wish I could be a Canadian. I’d be friendly, helpful, and pay my taxes on time. I’m going to die impoverished in the “land of opportunity”.

              Quick, you need a mental health app and a prescription too. It’s not normal to be overwhelmed by this, you’re the only one.

                I was did/heartened when I heard psychologists speaking out about how much more difficult their jobs have gotten since so many of the stresses people have been dealing with have moved to externalities rather than internalities. It is REALLY hard to help someone cope in the usual ways because the problems are real, we our lives and livelihoods are under existential threat, and we are relatively powerless in the face of it all. No amount of affirmations are going to make any of that better.

            Ooh how many times have you heard that it’s somehow your fault for not doing enough to get anyone else elected, your fault for not having a degree, your fault for not seeing this coming 10 years ago and making plans then, or your fault for being a dirty American who is American and therefore deserves all the bad things happening?

            I’ve gotten all these, and more.

            My personal favorite was being told in the same conversation by two different Canadians, that I should move to Canada, AND that Canada doesn’t need some “backwards ass hillbilly trash who wants to fuck his guns as much as his sister” because I mentioned I have family, no college education, and firearms.

            Personally I’d prefer to move to an EU country, but if the US ever really did want to invade Canada, I’d want to be there to help defend Canada. You know, with my guns. I’ve inherited quite a few, have training to use them, and am absolutely willing to train minorities on their use to defend against fascist racist phobic pieces of human refuse.

            So basically for one reason or another, country on the planet seems to want someone like me.

            Instead we get to sit here, in this shit hole country. Grasping at anything to try and help pull it back from the massive sinkhole it’s slipping into. Hoping that enough people help us to make a difference.

            I don’t think there’s a relevant peanuts panel for this…

    Some people commit a felony and get punished for four years or more, Trump commits 34 felonies and we get punished for four years (or more)

      There was a moment when Trump wrote that Walmart must “eat tariffs” that I thought "oh we’re getting close now. Of course I don’t want the actual reign of terror that followed the French revolution, but I also wouldn’t feel bad if a few examples were made.

          Yes, and there’s already been a conservative shooter attempt at assassinating Trump. I wouldn’t count that possibility out.

              What could possibly make you think aiming a gun at the sitting president and pulling the trigger doesn’t count as an assassination attempt? Or are you simply shrugging that off because it doesn’t fit your narrative?

                It was a setup for him to get publicity. His “wound” was gone the next day, and there’s no way the secret service would have let him get back up and stand there for his photo op. There’s a bunch of other inconsistencies too.

                  That is conspiracy theory bullshit with no grounding in reality. Nice story, with zero supporting facts.

        Executions don’t give justice. The best we can hope for is Club Fed.
