You Betrayed The Law!

I feel like, philosophically, the Supreme Court shattered the very idea a' law by sayin' it don't apply ta' official acts a' the President.

The US teaches kids from a young age that laws apply ta' everyone, from poor ta' rich, from felon ta' the President. Now we all know that ain't true, but that's how it's s'posed ta' be, right? We believe in the rule a' law in this country, or at least we say we do.

Ta' my mind, rulin' that the President is immune from prosecution fer any "official" act (meaning anything they say is official) means there ain't no philosophical or moral basis fer imposing the law on anyone. The reality, that we ain't a nation a' laws at all, has just become blatant an' undeniable.

Now, I ain't sayin' ta' commit crime, cuz they will come after ya' an' lock ya' up. But I'm sayin' that's an injustice.

Every police action is an injustice. Every imposition a' government power is an injustice. Any use a' force by an agent a' the government, directly or abstractly, is an injustice. There ain't no such thing as law fer Presidents, so there ain't no such thing as law. It's all just tyranny.

What we do about that is gonna be up ta' us. But we shouldn't be constrained by some idea of "legality" no more. Only by consequences.

Corruption at it's finest.

From on of my favorite bloggers, check it out. As stated so many times here, what less could we expect from a clan who bragged to the WEF of their own corruption? When we have someone in the Oval Office who is so comfortable with his corruption that he brags about it to members of the World Economic Forum and their audience, then we have nearly reached the pinnacle of corruption. What…

The left is saying, “look how stupid their guy is!”

The right is saying, “look how stupid their guy is!”

No one is saying, “Holy sh^t! They’re all f*cking stupid!😳”

Sometimes I wish we would start calling out the performative radicalism on this site for the poser bullshit it is. "Remember, it's always morally correct to kill a cop!" "Don't forget to firebomb your local government office!" "Wow, it sure would be a shame if these instructions on how to make a molotov cocktail got spread around!"

Okay. But you're not killing cops or firebombing government offices. You are posting on a dying microblogging website to a carefully-curated echo chamber that has radicalized itself into thinking that taking the absolute most extreme position on any subject is praxis but that anyone discussing the most practical way to effect actual change is your sworn enemy. You do not have the street cred OR the activist cred to be talking about killing cops, babe.

IT CAN HAPPEN HERE

“…it’s a serious time. With all the discontent there is in the country to wash him into office, Senator Windrip has got an excellent chance to be elected President, next November, and if he is, probably his gang of buzzards will get us into some war, just to grease their insane vanity and show the world that we’re the huskiest nation going. And then I, the Liberal and you, the Plutocrat, the…

in light of the recent news that Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi has been found dead after a helicopter crash you might be wondering 'who the hell is this guy and why are so many people celebrating his death??' and i'm here to answer that!

to fully understand what's going on we need to look into Iran's history: when the Iranian revolution in 1979 happened the authoritarian king who was ruling at that time was overthrown, but the ensuing power vacuum lead to the islamic regime seizing power and establishing Iran as an islamic republic

the following years were incredibly cruel to the Iranian people; thousands of people (especially minorities) have been protesting against the strict islamic regime leading to many being jailed, tortured and executed.

and this is where Raisi played a big part: in 1988 he was part of a committee that ordered the execution of thousands of political prisoners who were protesting the islamic regime, earning himself the title of "the butcher of tehran"

do not be fooled by what the state media wants you to believe, the Iranian people are celebrating his death. he was a cruel mass murderer who has destroyed the lives of thousands of people, his death should be used as a time to mourn for all the suffering he has caused, and bring new attention to the political prisoners still being held in Iranian prisions today

because sadly the fight is far from over. many of you have probably heard of the murder of Mahsa Jina Amini back in 2022, causing a new wave of nationwide protests and establishing the "woman, life, freedom" movement. the regime has gotten increasingly cruel in their treatment of the Iranian people, especially women, but the people of Iran are not deterred and keep fighting for a free Iran.

if you want to know how you can help, please keep talking about us. the one thing the regime hates is international attention, and in the past it has been proven that international pressure has stopped the regime from executing various political prisoners. people like Toomaj Salehi are under imminent threat of execution and spreading their names could save their lives. so whether you share social media posts or talk to your family and friends about what is happening in Iran, anything helps 🙏🏼
