Daugherty added, “Now these thugs will learn no actual lesson and go out and do it again, potentially with a weapon, and their next victim may not survive like Big Balls did.”

He's right. Someone should do something about ICE gangs.

Daugherty added, “Now these thugs will learn no actual lesson and go out and do it again"

Huh. That's just what I said after Trump pardoned all the insurrectionists from Jan-6.

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 50 points 3 months ago (1 children)

And a lot of them have turned out to be repeat offenders

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago

And how many straight up killed by police in subsequent encounters? I think it's 3 but I could be wrong.

[–] dan1101@lemmy.world 19 points 3 months ago

And hired them for ICE, CBP, and other positions.

When did tiny testes and the pedi party ever learn a lesson? Bitch please.

Maybe they'll go after him again. One can only hope

Homie got beat up by two fifteen year olds and Trump is acting like the Bloods and Crops joined together to beat this dude up.

Also if I have to see the name Big Balls in the context of my government again I'm gonna lose my mind. Dude was a shitty hacker. He shouldn't be in government.

[–] skuzz@discuss.tchncs.de 63 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Dude was a shitty hacker

Vibe hacker. That whole crew of DOGE dipshits wouldn't know a command prompt if it dressed up like a couple of 15 year olds and beat them up.

The funny thing though is how he thinks he found a great user handle, but the story of him getting beaten up by two 15y/o's means he can't use it online unless he wants to be the laughing stalk of any community he joins.

[–] miseducator@lemmy.world 16 points 3 months ago (3 children)

Bloods and crops, laughing stalk... Lots of flora talk in this thread. Are you guys government plants?

In other news, Trump reportedly asked his advisors today if he could do "the opposite of a pardon".

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 52 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Honestly not sure if this is satire.

[–] teawrecks@sopuli.xyz 40 points 3 months ago

Lol I was joking. He doesn't need to ask, he already has ICE for that.

Right-wing commentator Eric Daugherty expressed his disbelief at the decision and Briggs, who was appointed by former President Joe Biden.

“WTF: DEI Judge Kendra Briggs, appointed by Joe Biden, RELEASED the violent . . .

Why is the dailybeast article made up largely of racist “influencer” quotes? Dailybeast, stop doing it wrong.

[–] Vupware@lemmy.zip 14 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Daily beast is the liberal answer to Daily Mail, in my uninformed opinion.

[–] DougHolland@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago

Your opinion is not uninformed on this. Same as the Daily Mail, everything's SHOCKING and overhyped at Daily Beast. Maybe Daily Beast is slightly more credible; there's usually a baseline truth somewhere under the shrieking headline.

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

This site sucks. I don't care if they agree with me politically, I hate how they write

Oh my I hadn't seen that photo of him after his alleged attack. That is so obviously fake.

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 6 points 3 months ago

Yeah, all it shows is that Big Balls is a soft boy. And he probably started it.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 28 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I hope his big balls get stomped again. And again. And again and again and again.

[–] 1995ToyotaCorolla@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago (2 children)

His balls are so big because they’re swollen from getting stomped all the time

Haha nice. Trump pardoned those that killed people on J6th. These are just kids and BigBalls is a piece of shit.

[–] frustrated_phagocytosis@fedia.io 18 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Trump was out on bail for his own criminal case with way more felonies. Would he prefer to still be in jail pending appeals?

Random "So I married an axe murderer" appears.

Loved that movie when it came out. Saw it trice in theaters. Never seen it again

The President of the United States defending a member of his administration named Big Balls, this shit is surreal…

[–] Eh_I@lemmy.world 14 points 3 months ago

They have the chance to do the funniest thing.

"attackers of DOGE’s Big Ball"

Angus Young wishes he could write lines like that. I still don't know if I should laugh or cry at murica right now 😢
