It’s one thing to say he’s innocent because you believe he didn’t murder the guy. It’s an entirely different thing to say he was justified in murdering someone, or to encourage others to commit a murder. The latter is not legally defensible.
So many oligarchs in one radius. I mean room.
I wasn’t going to bother, but this kind of makes me want to delete my Facebook account.
No, see it’s OK because these slaves did a bad thing and that’s why they’re slaves. Not because they are black. It’s just a coincidence that all the slaves are black children who are punished more harshly than white criminals. They’re lives don’t ma- wait, no. That’s, uh… Tough on crime, war on drugs, not in my backyard.
That’s like saying furries are pretending to be animals. Like, yeah, no shit, that’s what a furry is.
Conservativism isn’t an ideology, it’s a grift. Conservatives sell the idea that whatever policies and regulations help them are good because they are part of some glorious tradition, and then any policies and regulations that don’t help them are evil government oppression. You’re on their team, or you’re the enemy. That’s always what conservativism has been. Narcissism and fascism talking like stoics, bearing a holy book and draped in the flag.
It’s more obvious now because Trump isn’t good at pretending. Imagine a furry convention where everyone there is trying to imagine they are really animals, and then there’s Trump running the show, wearing an ill-fitting blue suit, long tie, and a headband with cat ears. And then he’s like “bark, I’m a tiger or whatever. If you don’t think I’m the best lion ever, you can get the fuck out.” And all the furries who don’t play along are exiled from the convention. “Are you a lion or a tiger?” Banished! “Did you just bark?” BANISHED!
And it’s possible because none of them ever were real animals. They have always been pretending because it feels good to pretend. Some have been better pretenders, others more committed to their role, and some have been pretending for so long that they don’t even realize they are pretending. But to keep pretending, they have to bow to their self-proclaimed god-king emperor.
Apologies to any furrys for the analogy. I know furries don’t actually think they are animals.
I’m not saying it’s good, but all I see on modern laptops is USB-C ports.
Sure, that’s one option. Juries have the authority to apply a moral standard rather than a legal standard. Another apparently viable option is to request a presidential pardon. Or better yet, run for office and win.
Personally, I doubt the evidence against Luigi is conclusive, so I’d argue that he’s simply innocent. But I would certainly not encourage anyone else to start murdering executives, because that would be legally indefensible.
