Luigi did nothing wrong. He didn't kill that guy either.

I have a feeling for a while that Luigi is absolutely innocent... and you know what? If, and hopefully when, he is acquitted (no need for jury nullification, I am convinced that he really didn't do it), that would mean the real shooter got away with it.

And that is kinda nice to hear that you can off a powerful shitbag individual and escape in the 21st century. Assassinations of major figures by people who escape are so rare I can count them on one hand. One of them was literally the first ever murder by firearm in London. A16th century assassination of a nobleman who remains undiscovered.

I think the real Luigi likely trainhopped or otherwise entered the homeless underground, which would make him pretty untraceable. Many homeless are absolute masters on how to disappear/travel cross country for free.

Did anyone else notice on Reddit that whenever Luigi was mentioned there were a bunch of the same comments saying "this is old news if there were any updates we'd know about it". Meanwhile Luigi was getting censored super heavily. Starting to think those were all bots.

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

Reddit is an absolute hive of bot accounts and influencer accounts.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago

This is old news if there were any updates we'd know about it.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

The bots are massive, it probably was a mix of bots and people who parrot bots thinking they are with the group

I stopped posting at reddit. I deleted all but one account that I use for porn and extremely niche shit. I don't use it to post in political stuff there because fuck them.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

This is the way

I hope lemme gets a Sims and Sonic board

And one for the weird bodyswap caption porn that was on reddit

Holy shit can you guys imagine if the jury rules “not guilty, because you got the wrong fucking guy”? Luigi could probably run in 2028 and win.

The oblique implication in my comment is that if orangeboi (illegally) runs for a third term, then it also does not matter if Luigi (illegally) runs when he’s too young

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Why not? He already illegally ran in 2024, and was illegally inaugurated...

lol wow uh… you know, I guess you do have a point there 🫠

[–] [email protected] 79 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Lmao this guy thinks there will still be elections

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

There will still be elections -- they just won't be fair and legitimate elections.

50 States all went to the GOP... crazy how that happens now that Elon Musk counts the vote

[–] [email protected] 86 points 3 days ago (1 children)

He'd never defeat the Democrats' list of very strong candidates.

[–] [email protected] 86 points 3 days ago (16 children)

checks list

its just hillary again

Am I dumb or is AOC not an option

[–] [email protected] 43 points 2 days ago (2 children)

She is 100% an option, but not for the current Democrat party. They will push her our like they did Sanders.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 days ago (1 children)

They'd vote Trump before voting for AOC. At least that's my take from abroad.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 days ago

And mine from not abroad.

The Dems are controlled opposition who are funded by the billionaires just like the Rs.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago (6 children)

Democratic party needs to split up. Bernie has been calling on more senators and congressmen to go independent, but none have jumped off the rotten DNC ship.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

There's an inherent strategic advantage to claiming the party brand, because so much has been invested in raising its name recognition.

Very hard to get people to throw away a shot at a winnable primary in pursuit of a much more difficult independent run.

Not 35 years of age or older enough

[–] [email protected] 111 points 3 days ago (3 children)

The law clearly doesn't matter anymore.

[–] [email protected] 67 points 3 days ago (9 children)

It does for the right/"wrong" people.

It's a threat to the poors. You hurt the rich, you'll be treated the same.

[–] [email protected] 64 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Sounds like they are saying we have nothing to lose.

I don't see a threat. I see permission.

It feels like they should be doing everything to avoid a mistrial.

Maybe less embarrassing than a not guilty verdict?
