Mere hours after some House Republicans reported progress on a proposal to avoid a government shutdown at the end of the month, Donald Trump demanded they use the opportunity to "defund" Special Counsel Jack Smith and his team.
If there’s one thing I want above all else taken away from him assuming he’s convicted, it’s luxury. Trump should be forced to live like he’s in an army barracks, or, well, a prison!
Personally I wish he could be tortured to death and kept alive for as long as possible with various stimulants and machines to ensure a long, long, long process.
Well yeah, duh. But that doesn’t mean we stop trying to do better. People are saying “do the right thing”, and you’re saying “people already fucked up though” like it’s some sort of, I don’t know, excuse to not care about doing the right thing this time. Maybe, just maybe, if we can prove even the highest level crooks go to jail, we can shake the idea that “In America that there’s no point in doing anything because it’s already shit.”.
I’m not saying let the fucker free. Lock him up til he dies. Prison rations. Solitary confinement. But if we torture, and excuse it because THIS TIME WE’RE SURE, and “it must be alright because the bad guys also tortured”, then we’ve only made a more torturous union.
There’s a difference in having perspective and bringing up last week’s book at book club.
I am against cruelty. Full stop. I am against torture. I don’t have to list every type of torture to say I’m against this one. You’re right, though, it’s whataboutism. You’re not adding perspective that cops are bastards on this tiny little federated open source website. Everyone here already knows that. We’re all some sort of non-mainstream political identity. Look, that guy over there is a anarcho-syndaclyst furry. All you’re doing is muddying the waters over a very simple statement that torture is bad.
Regarding anyone “deserving torture”
Frodo: ‘It’s a pity Bilbo didn’t kill Gollum when he had the chance.’
Gandalf: 'Pity? It’s a pity that stayed Bilbo’s hand. Many that live deserve death. Some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them, Frodo? Do not be too eager to deal out death in judgment. Even the very wise cannot see all ends. My heart tells me that Gollum has some part to play in it, for good or evil, before this is over. The pity of Bilbo may rule the fate of many
Personally I wish he could be tortured to death and kept alive for as long as possible with various stimulants and machines to ensure a long, long, long process.
What a pathetic creature. I hope he gets a jumpsuit as orange as his spray-on tan.
Awwww come on, those white and pink striped ones would be much more hilarious, esp when he’s in the middle of a chain gang
Can you imagine him trying to keep up with the rhythm of the chain gang song? He’d get a pickaxe to the head just for that.
Not sure it comes in his size, but

Body to small and gloves are WAY too big
Then he’ll look naked. Ew.

I hope he gets a jumpsuit for someone who is 6’3 and 215 lbs.

Others’ mileage may vary.
If I had meme skills I’d make a Simpsons “Don’t make me tap the sign” macro, and the sign would have the cruel and unusual punishments clause on it.

Well okay, but nobody was saying cops should get a pass, or that we like cops. This thread isn’t about cops.
