Has it ever been more painfully obvious that a police scumbag is bought and paid for by corrupt campaign funding?

Its time we put that sherriff in a sanitarium

If this dude wasn't such a conservative nutjob, I would think he was doing a satire

[–] [email protected] 11 points 10 months ago

Thank to conservatives and their culture war, I think the entire concept of satire is on an indefinite hiatus.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Oh, the normalize it trick.

On the surface of only the quote. I agree.

If a felon was in the White House, I think we'd finally see some genuine prison reform, and if we're lucky, for profit prisons being outlawed.

Can you imagine a Danny Trejo type in the White House? Someone who deeply cares that prison is reformative and not punishment?

But not Donny Felon. He's just going to commit more crimes.

Crime, with a little it of treason.

Holy shit, he actually said that.

This, right here, is a prime example of a political headline that looks like it comes from The Onion.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I actually wasn't sure until I checked the URL.

Glad he supports criminal rights reform, but I don't think he's picking the right criminals

One more for the "Evidence 'law and order Republicans' are just racist" drawer.

This is only the beginning of what is going to be little pockets of civil war through the USA this fall.

Start getting basic supplies now as we navigate what will be a very violent time coming sooner than later.

Keep your political opinions to your self when waiting in line, lest you get followed home by some GOP weirdo and get your car vandalized..

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again:

Trump is the greatest argument for the 2nd amendment.

(Though seriously… gun control folks. It saves lives.)

Something really strange about American police forces is their use of military rank insignia. Here we have an elected official overseeing a civilian law enforcement agency of ~4000 personnel wearing the rank insignia of a 4-Star general.

Convicted felon. Because lets be honest, they are all felons.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 10 months ago

"Bianco also challenged the idea of systemic racism or bias in law enforcement"

Yes, because no police department ever has had these kinda problems in the United States.

Trump isn't fit for a Waffle House, let alone the White House.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Nah, waffle house accommodates larger folk all the time, pretty sure he could fit in the seats.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, but he can't keep his mouth shut, so he's a prime candidate for a parking lot fight.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

You mean the after hours Waffle House special with a 2 piece, side and a drink?

Who wants to bet we find something nasty on this dude in the next six months?

[–] [email protected] 35 points 10 months ago (2 children)

No, too easy. I'd only accept bets on how much of what material is found - like "31 Terabytes of furry porn" or "452 illegal WW1 weapons".

I'm a professional yiffer. I can jump rope and keep my tail plug in at the same time. Get on my level.

We're both wrong. He's basically an openly dirty cop. https://lemmy.world/comment/10439983

[–] [email protected] 116 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Does he care about people not caring about the rule of law?

Or is he just upset he cant run his little fiefdom like a tyrant like cops would have been able to 30 years ago before cameras and youtube?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 10 months ago

Mr. Treehorn draws a lot of water in this town. You don't draw shit, Lebowski.

[–] [email protected] 258 points 10 months ago (2 children)

It's time we take seditionists out of the Sheriff's Departments.
