We can expect these people to carry out violent assaults now, with the understanding that their violence is tolerated by the fucking president of the country. This is going to get horrific.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 19 hours ago

He did this deliberately because he needs an extralegal militia to do his bidding.

His personal SA

Honestly, I can't still comprehend how this guy is a president. Genuinely, what is wrong with Americucks dude...

Officially creating the brown shirts

Justice doesn't exist in the US anymore.

The entire system has failed and is ready to be devoured by the wolves. Treason has no consequences.

It's too bad more of them didn't get the Babbitt treatment.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 day ago

US soldiers used to get paid for killing nazis and we were proud of them for it.

Now that the mask is fully off on day 1....

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago

Seems like we might be due for some vigilante justice, then

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 day ago

It's likely not quite the case that treason has no consequences now.

Actual treason, no matter how egregious, has and will have no consequences if it benefits Trump.

But at the same time, it's pretty much certain that the definition of "treason" is going to just be shifted a bit so that it only applies to opposition to Trump, but will include everything all the way down to just saying mean things about him. And that will very definitely have consequences, and quite often fatal ones.

Didn't they say they were all Antifa?

[–] [email protected] 37 points 1 day ago

The law. What a joke.

Didn't some of those people beat & kill police officers ?

https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/capitol-riot-deaths/

On Jan. 8, 2021, the Associated Press confirmed a fifth death: that of Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick, who died "from injuries suffered during the riot," AP reported. However, a medical examiner's report released in April 2021 said Sicknick suffered strokes and died of natural causes.

Depends on how one reads that. I'm pretty sure had any other cop died in the line of duty after being beaten up would have been called a homicide.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 day ago

On the one hand, police murder is based. On the other, Jesus fucking Christ, he started day 1 by reviving the brownshirts

Earlier I made the prediction that Mr. Trump wouldn't pardon anyone from J6, as they had outran their usefulness to him.

Well, sadly, I stand corrected.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 20 hours ago

They have PR usage

[–] [email protected] 20 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Your logic isn't wrong. It's just that the truth is they are useful to him. Not only because they've already shown they will break the law for him, but also because it's a signal to everyone else who follows him that they can break the law

[–] [email protected] 12 points 21 hours ago

You can't buy loyalty like getting someone out of federal prison loyalty. They were running through walls for him before for free. He's going to start his own little redneck SS.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 day ago (2 children)

He now has 1500 evangelist to indoctrinate others to the cause.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 19 hours ago

They were already doing that from their social media accounts from inside their cells, but now they can hold meetings.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Humm, I had not considered that, but you are right.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 23 hours ago

You need a bunch of really dedicated assholes if you want to build the next SA

[–] [email protected] 52 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The US is getting exactly what they voted for. Smh

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 day ago

Yeah, I hate it here.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I don't want a single fucking tear when one of them gets gunned down in the street.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago

True American patriots would celebrate any hero who does that.

pro criminal

Nazi cowards will protect their own, provided it doesn’t cost any effort. This will only embolden them.
