The current president has already set a precedent that politically motivated violence is a valid form of protest and free speech that doesn't warrant prosecution. Up until that the precedents were much different.

[–] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 62 points 3 months ago (5 children)

Yeah but the current president means politically motivated violence perpetuated against the left is only valid. Violence towards the right, and him especially, is considered treason and subject to ICE detention.

Except everybody hates health insurance execs. It’s like the one thing we can all agree on.

[–] Krono@lemmy.today 13 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Why limit yourself to "health insurance" execs?

They are among the most egregious execs, but the capitalist rot has infected the entire system, not just one industry.

[–] bampop@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Right wing voters still want to suck corporate dick, it's just that health insurance also screws them over in such an obvious way that they get a momentary, and very limited, flash of understanding. And so far nobody seems to have figured out a narrative of how to blame it on the left.

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

B---B---B---BINGO.

That’s the way this country has always been

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Well he considers both types of violence speech, it's just you only have free speech to agree with him

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Sure, but only if you let him stack the cards against you. Why should you honor someone who doesn't even honor your law?

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 9 points 3 months ago (8 children)

Whatever happened to Hillary Clinton’s basement pizza pedophiles? Where’s the CNN FOX NEWS update on that? Remember there were all these tunnels? Where they were raping children?

it was epstein's island all along.

Luigi for President, I don't know anything about his personal politics but he's gotta be better than Trump

[–] FilthyHands@sh.itjust.works 128 points 3 months ago (1 children)

He has a few ideas about healthcare I can get behind.

[–] Nougat@fedia.io 20 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Key word here being “behind”.

[–] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 64 points 3 months ago

The fact he allegedly started attacking from the top down is good enough for me 1000%. Fuck all this "poor people are the problem" nonsense.

[–] hypeerror@sh.itjust.works 27 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

He shot a man on 5th avenue and his popularity went up.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 22 points 3 months ago

wow, callback to season 1

[–] pineapplelover@lemmy.dbzer0.com 26 points 3 months ago

And if he happens to commit felonies then he's on track to be president

[–] Pringles@sopuli.xyz 15 points 3 months ago (1 children)

That bar is buried in the deepest mineshaft ever dug.

[–] VonReposti@feddit.dk 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)
[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

i think i'm starting to understand those movies Journey To The Center Of The Earth and At The Earth's Core and that obsession. At one point we were actually digging just to see how fucking deep we could dig, and that's pretty neat when you think about it.

[–] Bloomcole@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Better than most Americans.
He's the only one that actually did something, unlike the people crying about Trump on social media.

[–] onslaught545@lemmy.zip 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Except he isn't the shooter.

If he runs for president they should drop the charges because that would make the trial political persecution.

[–] muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 months ago

Murder is only cute when republicans do it. It’s less adorable and downright dangerous when someone with a name like “Mangione” does it.

Luigi needs a presidential pardon, then run for office.

[–] teft@piefed.social 157 points 3 months ago (1 children)

He should just run. The current guy is a convicted felon and luigi didn’t do anything.

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 58 points 3 months ago (3 children)

Also the current guy had most of his criminal cases thrown out because he was running for president.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 4 points 3 months ago

and billionaires were bankrolling his lawyers.

All im reading here is Luigi is a candidate and can recieve any amount of money possible.

Where do i vote yes?

[–] PixelatedSaturn@lemmy.world 72 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Good strategy from him attorney.

I mean it's kind of obvious, but still.

[–] mkwt@lemmy.world 62 points 3 months ago (1 children)

His attorney is absolutely top tier talent, and extremely well respected.

[–] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 20 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

She's on MeidasTouch sometimes, she was an original talking head witht them from the start, always enjoyed her takes. Her ads she had to do were always funny too, feels like she's sort of in on the joke about the absurdity of a lawyer hawking a random product but its all good, clean, lawyerly fun 99% of the time plus a day

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 64 points 3 months ago (2 children)

by the way, TRUMPS court cases was bankrolled by billionaires, and people hot dog skin hogan was bankrolled by THIEL during his lawsuit against gawker. this is no different.

[–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 15 points 3 months ago

I find it to be better when 50,000 people put $1 then when 1 person put $50,000.

One says I have a rich guy that supports me, the other says a large number of people support me for one reason or another.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

And his voters. And the RNC.

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 61 points 3 months ago (1 children)

"gee I wonder why people are so upset"

[–] muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 months ago

The peasants are revolting

[–] muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works 34 points 3 months ago

YES! Let’s have this debate!

[–] MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 24 points 3 months ago

Anyone have the legit fundraiser link?

Please just message me with it... It's probably "against the rules" to publicize it.

[–] Nightlight17776@lemmy.ca 23 points 3 months ago

Luigi for president. Hell yes

[–] HappyFrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Is there a link to the interview?

[–] HiddenPotential@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)
[–] unconsequential@slrpnk.net 27 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (5 children)

“You must be new around these parts.” There is no higher form of American free speech than the all holy dollar. Most Americans don’t even question that logic.

[–] Awkwardly_Frank@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago

Most Americans question that logic, but, as money is speech, anyone who questions it in a public forum gets shouted down by those who can afford to speak more ~~"freely"~~.
