She's literally saying that she will ignore the justice system and set a criminal free.

Please vote for me, I like criminals!

I still don't like this timeline

Doing it, is bad enough. Promoting one self by saying you'll do it, is even worse!

Why would you pardon him? Has he committed any crimes? /s

Seriously, you must think he committed crimes if you are going to pardon him.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 8 months ago

I mean fuck the GQP, but do you really think that one can't wish to pardon someone one deems innocent?

So that’s a fucking problem…

Trump, Haley, and the rest of the republican traitor filth must be crushed under the heel of justice.

Didn’t you hear? Justice is long dead.

It grinds slow, but fine. Or so the saying goes. And when they say slow, they mean glacially.

This design is intentional to make it difficult to weaponize, which people did all the time through history. Don't mistake slow for stationary though. Glaciers do move, even if you can't see it if you sit there and stare at one.

At the same time: justice delayed is justice denied.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Uh, no, not true. Justice delayed is justice delayed. Justice denied is justice denied. It almost always gets delayed over something or another, just because proving a case as best you can is difficult and complex, and often changes mid-process.

And you do want proof to be important, justice isn't something you want Kyle Rittenhouse types just winging on their own.

That was justice denied, right there. Delayed is fine sometimes though.

It's important to remember that efficiency is not always what you want most. You want accuracy and precision too, and a balance somewhere between these competing priorities is necessary.

If you delay justice long enough, it becomes generational injustice. Non-white, non-male civil rights over the course of US history is an example of this.

“What’s in the best interest of our country is for our corporate donors to understand that if I am elected, nothing will fundamentally change”

——Nikki Haley, no wait, Joe Biden, no wait Pete Buttigeg , meh whats the fucking difference…. None

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

If you're implying there's not a fundamental difference between a Republican president and a Democrat president, at this point, that's absolutely hilarious. Delusional.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

From a certain point of view there isn't any difference to be seen.

The point of view would have to be very far away though, maybe Jupiter?

People do go there to get more stupider

[–] [email protected] -1 points 8 months ago

Then why do they go to Uranus?
