Trumps agenda? Hah.
New idea for a
band namelaw firm name:23andPlea
Must be 23 peasant than one ceo.
There’s a guy who killed 23 people in a Walmart in El Passo in 2022. Got charged with hate crimes on account of…he’s openly racist and said that’s why he did it.
That guy just got a plea deal to avoid the death penalty.
Nobody should identify the criminal justice system in America as anything else but a mechanism for protecting the rich.
They can’t even prove he did it
Nobody did it, the guys head just did that.
“Based on the evidence, I do not believe the accused is guilty.”
That’s all that needs to be said.
Exactly, he had spontaneous lead spawn pop up inside him. Happens every day to assholes
Bizzare. Americans are seriously crazy. It’s a monarchy really, it’s so in your face, like a bad comedy.
We are dumb and crazy a bad mix.
Way to downplay what’s at stake, it’s sadistic, psychopathic and cruel.
It’s a monarchy really
Yes, this is actually a much more helpful way to think about Trump’s approach to presidency. Here is Dr David Smith from the United States Studies Centre explaining this in a recent episode of PEP (excellent in-depth American politics podcast from Australia).
No, it’s just that the south hates everything about the rest of America, and have done since we took their slaves away
They support anything that hurts everyone else, or as they call it: ‘Owning the libs’.
I mean, this really isn’t new for us.
It’s a monarchy really
All nations are, when you get down to it.
But what if he runs for office? Then he can’t be convicted, right?
Start the campaign now for President in 2256. Wouldn’t want the judges to look politically biased, they’ll have to hold off on sentencing until after the election.
Lol imagine thinking these freaks give a fuck about being hypocrites.
Seems very short-sighted on their part. They’ve made the penalty for taking out 1 the same as taking out 100. They’ve also highlighted the disparity between punishments for crimes against average people vs the rich and powerful.
They wanna make martyrs now?

Everyone should read about jury nullification and spread it everywhere.
You know they’ll disqualify anyone who might even hint at knowledge of jury nullification from the jury pool. They’ll be selected on their ability to convict solely.
Then they’ll need the knowledge and a decent poker face 🤷
Now you’re asking them to commit perjury - which is also bad. (In case anyone reads this and decides to try their best poker face)
Now you’re asking them to commit perjury - which is also bad.
Only if they get caught and punished for it. Laws exist to discourage bad behavior, which lying in service of justice isn’t, so in this case breaking the law is the morally correct thing to do.
Like shooting a billionaire or the CEO of a predatory corporation.
Sure, whatever, but lying under oath during the jury selection process is a crime called perjury. Morale correctness aside, I’m just trying to keep folks out of jail my dude.
Now your asking them to commit perjury
Only if they specifically ask “do you know about jury nullification?”
No, they usually ask something like “Do you have any personal beliefs that would prevent you from returning a guilty verdict involved with this type of crime?” - seriously yall, this shit isn’t hard to look up and is usually posted right alongside explanations for what jury nullification is. Frankly, I doubt anyone reading this is rich enough to pull the “you didn’t specifically ask about jury nullification therefore I technically did not commit perjury”-card.
Well at least now I know it’s effectively illegal for me to be on a jury for the rest of my life. So that’s cool.
Wait. They have to swear an oath that they don’t know shit about the legal system?
No, you swear an oath to answer honestly during the jury selection process. The lawyers will ask if you have any moral or ethical concerns that would prevent you from convicting the accused - ie you would be willing to engage in jury nullification. If you say no, but you actually do intend to nullify, then you lied under oath and could be found guilty of perjury at that point.
Thats why EVERYONE needs to know it. You can’t disqualify everyone.
This administration is too stupid to realize they’re sitting on a powder keg? By all means light the match……let’s see what happens
My current tinfoil-hat conspiracy theory is that’s exactly what they’re banking on. They’ll draw the trial out until right before the midterm election… Then Trump will use the resulting riots to declare martial law and cancel the upcoming midterms, so he doesn’t lose control of congress. After he has cancelled the election, he’ll make a final push to clean house, and will start ousting liberal congress members by accusing them of being riot conspirators.
The Mangione Riots will be Trump’s Reichstag Fire.
Not if y’all aren’t bitches about it.
It’s not that far fetched.
Incels should honestly be targeting country clubs instead of elementary schools.
The ruling class plays a much bigger role in why they’re incels than school students do.
They’re not smart people. This would require the ability to critically think and reason with facts. They’re brainwashed by the billionaire backed right wing propaganda machine. Women/brown people=bad. Billionaires/White Men =good
You want martyrs?? 'Cause that’s how you get martyrs!
Luigi Mangione has been the only thing uniting the left and right in the US. This is one of the few things that has managed to break through Fox News propaganda. Killing a legendary hero isn’t the win the GOP thinks it is.
The left and right really need to understand priorities.
It’s fine to disagree on culture war bullshit, but let’s put our differences aside and focus on the common enemy first.
Saint Luigi Mangione
Have you seen how long it takes someone to get through death row? If convicted, he will sit for 20 years. Far far beyond the current political discourse.
If he gets convicted, that will be a stink for a while. But by the time they kill him, he will be a distant memory.
Martyrs die when the timing is optimal. If it isnt the right time, they are just a name on a gravestone. And we have plenty of those.
Trump has actually speeded up the process through executive orders
nah we already have sanders and aoc it’s enough, we still want to conserve decorum /s
You want martyrs??
I mean, yeah that’d be cool. What else do we have at this point
Evidently Pam Bondi has financial lobbyist interests for the GEO group. They own a bunch of private prisons and mental health facilities.
I wonder if we could get creative to bring down the profits of this group in retaliation of her idiotic direction.
That’s fucked up that a prosecutor has lobbyist interests in private prisons.
She’s an evil, soulless vessel of meat
I would love to be a juror in this case.
Same
That’s seems pretty damn ballsy of them since unless they are extremely confident in the jury selection it’s practically guaranteed to result in a hung jury if they know that finding him guilty will result in the most severe verdict.
I’m sure that will be as corrupt as everything else this administration touches
Yeah there’s no better reason to use jury nullification than when government wants to kill a guy for political reasons.
Federal juries are way, way easier to tilt towards the prosecution, and the judge has far more power, even assuming he isn’t a Trump appointee.
Nullify.
