Remember when he put riot police in DC during his last term? That's where he pulled them from.

And George Floyd got summarily executed for allegedly having a counterfeit 20 dollar bill
And Eric Garner was executed for selling individual cigarettes out of his pack.
summarily executed
Weird way to spell MURDER
(There was literally a whole trial that ended with the perps convicted with murder, did you forget?)
You are right. And the murderer and accomplices got away with it.
We keep moving beyond parody
what will comedy even look like in 30 years? Will political satire be dry PSAs about functional government?
I saw an episode of SNL. The joke was that Reagan only pretended to be a bumbling idiot and was, in fact, a razor sharp mastermind.
That's Phil Hartman, a legend of comedy and acting but neither during the Reagan era. That's mid 90s, roughly a decade after Reagan
edited. Thanks you eagle eyed sentry of truth.
After reading the article, this ironically seems to be one of the few times Donnie Moscow managed to pick someone who seems decent for the job.
“lived experience” wait isn’t that DEI?
where else would he get his appointees, all the legitimate and qualified people arnt going to risk thier neck for turmp, and he needs loyalists, not competence. its also the MO of putin, which hes taking directions.
Honestly I was thinking sure why not, he was in for marijuana and Cocaine charges he admitted guilt to and served 5 years for and got out more than 20 years ago. That shouldn't matter anymore. Then it mentioned 10 felonies before the age of 16... Those charges I think should be evaluated before you are put in charge of imprisoned people. You get a job with others, if they don't like you it sucks to change jobs but you can choose to leave. Prisoners don't get that choice, so we should have strict guidelines on their caretakers.
The inmates are literally running the asylum.
What the actual fuck even is this timeline anymore
The joker is now the warden of Arkham, cool cool cool.
He’s an expert.
Takes one to know one, I guess?
When the MAGAs MAGA so hard they accidentally wrap around to woke. \s
spoiler
\s because if Trump pardoned him, he must be a real piece of shit who actually should still be imprisoned.
The thumbnail looked like Steven Seagal at first.
he looks like seagul and alex jones combined.
That combination would be like, well... Seagal in the modern era.
Wut?
