      Lol. Yeah I’m sure they’re all adopting this technology because a shit load of people AREN’T using it. That makes sense.

      They’re not afraid of “rebellion”, they’re afraid of higher taxes. That’s why they try to convince people to either vote for Republicans or pretend both parties are the same.

        Both parties are the same when it comes to committing genocide in Palestine, so with that said, I don’t really care what their domestic policies are. “Do you want to vote for the slightly kinder Hitler or the meaner Hitler? Look at you, now it’s your fault that meaner-Hitler got elected!”

          This begs the questions, “why wasn’t he ever sentenced?” and once he is no longer president can he be sentenced to do hard time for any of those 34 counts?

              Well, not technically. He had his sentence “discharged” the week of Jan 6 2025, which was technically while he was not president, but well after he had stolen his second term and it was certain he would be the president in about 2 weeks. So, he can’t be sentenced for those 34 felonies anymore, but I wonder if he would have been sentenced to time if he hadn’t stolen a second term.

              Probably not, since the judge who unconditionally discharged any sentence was at the very least a Trump apologist who bent over backwards to give Trump the white glove treatment. At the very least Judge Merchan could have assessed fines equal to the value Trump stole with his crimes, or even put Trump on probation. Nope, just let him off free and clear.

              I just hope some enterprising state AGs find more things to charge him with and he spends the last couple of years of his life rotting in prison.

        Democrat politicians are not the proletariat lol (except at the local / county-level, potentially)
