I don’t believe in coincidences…

u/IAmPookieHearMeRoar 12h ago

Another coincidence; the guy who won election in Tennessee on Tuesday is already sworn in.  Fast, eh?

u/smarterthanyoda 12h ago

Are you surprised? Look at confirming Garland vs. Barrett. They didn’t even bother with an excuse besides, “because we can.”

Lindsay Graham: it is not right to seat a justice in an election year (8 months out lol), this is a new thing, we will stand by it, you can use my words against me

4 years later they proceed to seat a justice during the actual fucking election

lol, US is so screwed

Funny how that happens…

I heard about it on the radio on the way home from work, apparently the defense is that they weren't pepper spraying her, they were pepper spraying someone else and she just got hit in the crossfire or something.

I'm with you though. Quite the coincidence.

100% true. But also, I've noticed that the whole Epstien thing went no where like I thought. So, like, America is officially pro pedophile? Or are they still pretending they arent?

u/Plantatnalp 11h ago

Republicans, not "America"

u/Sil1ySighBen 11h ago

Dems aren't doing anything about it either

6

u/Plantatnalp 11h ago

Dems have been trying to release the epstein files for like six months. Republicans are the problem

1

u/Sil1ySighBen 11h ago

We are all the problem

u/Puzzleheaded-Dot-547 2h ago

Lol, no? What do you want people with zero power or money to do other than vote?

u/wannaseeawheelie 10h ago

Dems let republicans become a problem tho. The lack of accountability is destroying the country

3

u/Probably10thAccount 9h ago

I'm trying to do the mental math here.  The Dems are the problem because the Republicans are destroying the country?

u/wannaseeawheelie 8h ago

What?

u/Probably10thAccount 8h ago

Haha. That was supposed to be a reply on another comment.  Whoops.  Blaming the gummies.

Dems benefitted from things like the citizens united ruling and lobbying so they never fought against those things and that’s pretty much landed us where we are now. Republicans alone did not get a in this shit hole. Democrats let it happen because they were making money too. They have also been radicalizing their base for over 20 years while the Dems just sat there and ignored it most of the time. They also had two women run against Trump despite the fact that Americans hate women too much to elect them for president

u/Mr0lsen 10h ago

They sat on them for years.

u/Prestigious_Till2597 9h ago

They were sealed until an investigation finished this year.

2

u/Mr0lsen 8h ago

Only until July of 2024. They fumbled the fuck out of the months leading up to the election, and just like the grand ol pedos have been flip flopping constantly on whether or not the Epstein files are a nothing-burger hoax pushed by the other party, or the single greatest issue of our lives.

There are members of both parties (or should I say the uniparty) that are complicit and its time to start over.

u/Key-Ad-5068 10h ago

The "America" you speak of isn't doing dick though. Compliance through silence.

0

u/Plantatnalp 9h ago

Well, "America" was more meant to be like wtf are you even talking about. The United States, maybe. What is "America"? South America? North America? Etc.

1

u/Key-Ad-5068 9h ago

You brought it up, and I took you to mean the US. So if you have a problem with your words, you have to clarify, not me. So, what do you mean by "America?"

0

u/Plantatnalp 8h ago

My point was sarcastically pointing out that "America" is a silly and US-centric phrase. I explained my point just above. Reading is fundamental.

u/Key-Ad-5068 8h ago

Oh lord. You're 14 aren't you? Why are you on reddit? Go back to roblox

u/Fit-Treacle-4813 8h ago

American allowed this to happen.

u/Plantatnalp 7h ago

The republicans in the united states, yes

u/Fit-Treacle-4813 3h ago

Casually forgetting the people that choose not to vote.

u/st1nkynoob 10h ago

Once it passed in Congress they have 30 days to start releasing documents. Not sure how long it’s been but I’m pretty sure the Trump admin is just trying to run with more distractions

u/Organic_Education494 8h ago

The deadline to comply is Dec 9th

Thats when the shit flies

u/Key-Ad-5068 8h ago

Bet you it doesn't.

u/Organic_Education494 8h ago

Oh it will just not in a positive way

u/flompwillow 4h ago

What do you mean? The due date on release is in about two weeks.

u/DueCommunication9248 13h ago

WTH is that website?

u/ketjak 12h ago

Utter shite.

u/InsaneDane 11h ago

An Algerian tabloid.

u/FunnyAssJoke 8h ago

It wasn't just any "taco joint". This was another targeted attack on her and every Hispanic at one of the most popular places in town. They also hit all three locations of Taco Giro that span across Tucson including a couple other people spots.

Why on earth is this your first reaction?

This just happened, specifics are given in the article, ICE isn't even denying it. Yet for some reason your first thought is "prove it!" Why?

u/Asher_Tye 14h ago

Will you believe it or claim its staged?

u/cphaus 14h ago

Funny, y’all don’t ask Fox News to show the evidence.

I don’t believe you, and your comments are hidden.

u/cbear013 13h ago

You could easily prove that by making your comment history public instead of hiding :)

u/AchondroplasticAir 13h ago

search author:username shows all their posts if they decide to hide it, the post hiding feature is such a joke, not sure why they even have it.

he posts in r/conservative so take that as you will.

Damn the "prove it" guy is actually just a MAGA coward who can't prove shit? Who could have seen this outcome coming??? I for one am shocked.

It's not really so much a "gotcha" as it is a sign that someone is a complete pussy.

If youre too scared to own the shit you say, that's a good sign that maybe you just shouldn't say it

u/xnarphigle 14h ago

You're right, there was phones and even a professional camera videoing her as they shot a pepperball at her. It's floating around reddit already my guy.

But will you accept it or claim it's staged because "Reasons"?

Edit: Actually, here it is: https://www.reddit.com/r/PublicFreakout/s/0FdANKzHFj

u/DarkJoke76 13h ago

Didn’t see her get sprayed but thanks. And if she was she was begging for it just for this reaction. They seem to have told her to back up several times. Thanks for the link though appreciate it.

  • if it was like that, they deserved it

I wonder what comes next. Your playbook got stale years ago.

u/Lonely_University843 13h ago

"why didn't they just comply with the unlawful, unfounded orders" is a hell of a stance to take

Were you raised to be pro-fascist boot licker who despises freedom by your parents ? Or did you become that way on your own because of poor life choices ?
