22 years? Yeah that is disheartening.
There are several states in the South and Midwest that possession of marijuana can land you life in prison. That’s potentially a 70 year sentence for a young adult.
Yet these jackasses can attempt to overthrow the US Government and install an unelected dictator and the longest sentence we’ve seen yet is only 22 fucking years?
Yeah it is disheartening to see the hundreds that got off with house arrest, probation, or even at best landed behind bars for only a year or so.
Can’t believe the sentencing for weed is still so strong. Like who gives a fuck, just legalize the shit already. I think that most of us can agree that alcohol has just as much of not more potential for harm than weed does and that’s legal.
Not only is alcohol legal, it was made legal again after its own failed prohibition.
Yes, but have you considered that if we legalize weed, Satan might get your kids?
/s
That’s because Jesus drank wine but did not smoke a joint.
Moses was burning that bush all night though
I agree. Christians should rethink interpretation of that passage.
Or maybe he did - who knows? I know there’s a burning bush in the Bible - maybe it was a metaphor for smoking that good stuff XD
Anyone who tries to argue that weed is as or more dangerous that alcohol is not doing so in good faith.
Groups of people who like weed being illegal; Police unions, private prison owners, beer/wine/spirit producers, pharmaceutical companies, cartels, private rehab clinics
Especially when in som part of the country it’s perfectly fine. So much for the united part
Also there’s the case of Chaya Raichik, who is now a star of the far-right…
Attempting a coup = not the good guy
It’s framing. For the next coup. Because there will be a next one. The Nazis didn’t win their first coup either.
Hitler was only sentenced to 5 years in prison despite being convicted of treason. He lived in comfort and wrote his famous book there.
The 60-day, nine-month, and time-served sentences make a mockery of justice and a tragedy of history. 20 years is about right if not a bit lenient for plotting what would have gotten someone hanged, drawn, and quartered at the time of our country’s founding.
Hitler was only sentenced to 5 years in prison despite being convicted of treason. He lived in comfort and wrote his famous book there.
Just to add on to that. He served 9 months and was released on good behaviour. A reminder he spent those 9 months writing a manifesto that promoted genocide. I hope we can learn from history.

it seems that we are learning from something
If they think attempting a coup is being the good guy, I actually hope they become “bad guys”.
It depends tho. Overthrowing an authoritarian is usually considered a good thing. But mostly, it only depends on the success of the coup. Successful coup = we were heroes. Unsuccessful coup = they were traitors.
Unless it succeeds. Most Mericans today think the revolutionaries are heros cuz freedom, but at the time there were plenty of people who were against splitting from England. Now this is more like being a Confederate sympathiser, and that tracks perfectly.
The good guys don’t go to prison for attempting to overthrow the elected government
I wouldn’t make it a blanket statement like that. Maybe something like “good guys don’t go to prison for attempting to overthrow the elected government to replace them with a fascist government”. If a fascist government is elected, I’d consider the people trying to overthrow it the good guys.
Conservative women need to keep their mouth shut and stay in the kitchen. There are bible quotes on this. Every time they speak in public the only response should be
KJV: “But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.”
RSV: “I permit no woman to teach or to have authority over men; she is to keep silent.”
GNB: “I do not allow them to teach or to have authority over men; they must keep quiet.”
I wanna see hundreds of replies to every tradwife politicians with these every time they speak and I wanna see reporters repeat these instead of asking questions. If they want rights and be treated with respect, ditch the religion and trad shit and join the rest of us in the future.
Sarah Palin has always been a fucking airhead, and fuck John McCain for legitimizing her airhead voice
Her greatest achievement was revitalizing Lisa Ann’s porn career.
The sad thing is McCain could have easily beat a black guy if he didn’t pick a woman as his running mate.
Maybe you mean this woman in particular.
I think they meant Obama was representing a kind of progress that McCain thought he needed to compete with but his base would have been happier if he had just said “fuck that shit” instead of trying to be a conservative version of woke.
It’s quite possible that McCain picking Sarah Palin as his running mate lost him more votes than it gained him for trying to be progressive.
I can imagine it losing him both the republican voters who dislike women and all the voters who simply dislike her.
I further believe that women voters while they do like representation they vote based on politics to a further degree.
Alternative headline: Sarah Palin thinks criminals are good guys
Only when they are white supremecists and accelerationists.
If you shoplift from a CVS, Palin wants will want your hands cut off.
Why are Republicans calling people that directly attacked and killed people in the hallowed halls of the Capital building “the good guys”?
These are the same dingbats that have made Ashli Babbitt a martyr (and have doxxed the man who shot her) and never can answer the question. Just what the f— was she even doing there that day?
Not one of the people that cry about her and pretend to be so very concerned about it can answer why she was even there. Of course, this is the same bunch that think killing someone over selling loose cigarettes (if they are Black) is NBD.
At this point, fuck it.
You’re right Sarah! You are the good guys, and there is just no point. Might as well stop trying to over throw the government and terrorizing marginalized communities. Even voting. It’s a lost cause. The deep state will come after you for interfering with their plans, so just stay home. Protest the system by being quiet and not participating.
Wait, The “Good Guys” were not the capital police fighting to protect Congress and the constitutional procedure taking place? The capital police who stood up to the deadly mob worked up by Trump and aimed at senators doing the work of the constitution…they were not the “Good Guys”?
Palin is wrong and not a “good guy”.
Palin is encouraging bad people to be worse and she almost certainly knows it.
Smashes a Capitol policeman with the riot shield you stole off of him. We are the good guys!
Can you imagine the timeline if she were VP?
It’s hard enough for me to imagine a timeline where she’s relevant.
Same here. It seems she just pops up every so often, says something stupid, then disappears again into the woodwork.
Makes me wonder who pays her to ‘pop up every so often’.
Unfortunately, people like Marj are and it’s possible that Marj is even worse than Palin.
They can all get fucked along with you, Sarah.
Imagine thinking Sarah Palin was someone whose thoughts were worth more than the wretched air they’re made of.
“Patriots” don’t try overthrowing the government.
Ehhhhhhh technically not true in a pretty important way. BUT, “patriots” sure as shit don’t try to overturn the valid results of a democratic election functioning exactly as it should. The word for that is “traitor”.
Let’s all gather around and listen to the dumb ass who is consistently wrong about everything.
the dumb ass who is consistently wrong about everything
You’ll need to be more specific.
What’s the point
Chin up, gents, you’ll get to smear feces on the capitol walls next time
As her favorite book says, “Woe to those who call good, evil, and evil, good”
