I'm not entirely sure i'm comfortable with two retired generals effectively taking over the country, but i'm much more comfortable with the situation in washington with mattis and kelly both willing to kick everyone out of the room to yell at Trump and tell him to shut the gently caress up.

Two retired generals in positions of power huh

I think we should give them new titles. Maybe names that refer to how they council the president.

Consul has a nice ring to it? It'd fit, considering the hard-on the founding fathers had for the Roman Republic.

Trump would call them general council and confuse everyone further.

A pardon carries with it a tacit admission of guilt and you lose all 5th amendment rights associated with the underlying crime.

As someone who was born and raised in Florida, it's got a little bit of everything you could ever want in a state. Deep south towns like Alabama. Liberal cities like NY. Spanish people like Texas. And crazy people like the White House. Most states have one, maybe two of those things. Florida has a lot of all of it.

Florida doesn't have spanish people like texas. Texas has primarily mexican hispanic while florida's hispanics are primarily not mexican. makes for different slang, conversational spanish, and food.

It wasn't an exact 1:1 comparison. Texas has a high population of Spanish people out of Mexico and Florida has a high population of Spanish people out of Cuba.

I'm saying that culturally the hispanic people in florida are night and day from the hispanic people in florida.

Twitter's CEO is an alt-right proud boy and they've been harboring nazis since it's inception. twitter specifically has an api user flag that prevents that person's tweets from being displayed in France or Germany because of anti-nazi laws.

Also look at loving lovely people on local news articles and youtube comment boards and such. The nazis haven't ever been especially quiet on the internet. The trumpenreich has definitely made them more open and bold, though.

No. He can pardon anyone of any federal offense (outside of impeachment) willy nilly.

Casimir Radon posted:

Donnie's statement is still weak as gently caress and makes it sound like he's equating the Nazis with ANTIFA groups.

In positive developments so far:
One Nazi lost his job for marching.
One Nazi tried to say that he isn't a racist when his name was exposed, and then a bunch of his classmates dunked on him because of course he's a racist who has shot his mouth off a lot.
One dad came out to denounce his Nazi son, told him he wasn't welcome at home anymore, and went on to say he might as well shove his parents into the oven while he's at it.

It was absolutely an equivocation speech and I full expect that the DoJ will be cracking down on all the violent racist counterprotestors first.

The things to remember about a pardon - the president can only pardon federal crimes, a pardon comes with a tacit admission of guilt, and the pardoned person loses any 5th amendment rights for any of the activities covered by the pardon.

So for those not caught up, Trump just retweeted this alt-right shitheel nazi bitching and moaning about chicago crime statistics. He is infamous for being a pizzagate supporter and for bringing a RAPE MELANIA sign to a trump protest in order to try to paint anti-trump people as violent psychos.

He was of course MAGAing saturday at the rally in his proudboy uniform (khakis, tucked in polo, MAGA hat) and throwing up heil trumps with the rest of them.
