I was told pizza gate was a conspiracy!

Yes it's the description of the Klan Act, but not what he's charged under from what I can tell.

Look, Don Lemon is a twat of the first order, but there's very twisted optics in charging a black man under an act named after a white supremacist group.

Well maybe the Democrats should stop naming bills after naughty no no words like they're fucking six. Oh wait, they can't because without those shitty names, their drug addled voters wouldn't understand how "good" the bills are.

People trying to argue this was some kind of legal protest are fucking retarded and have been educated by CNN and YouTube kids.

Just with what’s in the affidavit, this wasn’t ever meant to be “peaceful.” And btw, a church is PRIVATE PROPERTY. No you do not have the right to barge in to private property with the sole purpose of harassing and terrorizing the people inside, make content out of it, and prevent parents from getting to their children. IMO the fact that they were trapping these people, and had planned for that, should qualify for more charges.

That technically constitutes illegal confinement and kidnapping, so these chimps could be facing some hard time if they press every possible charge against them.

IIRC, the Klan Act was passed because the KKK was running around torching black churches… regardless of whether black people were in them. The specific language of the act says you can’t persecute people for engaging in Constitutionally protected activities, such as practicing their right to freely worship.

Everyone gets equal protection under the law. So what’s good for the Klansman is good for the niggerfaggot.

The thought of Klasnmen seething that a nigger has been charged under the law named after the KKK makes me chuckle.

Ohio Republican Primary Race Update:

Recap for the people here for Minnesota:
Casey Putsch is the only serious challenger attempting to primary Vivek Ramaswamy by running on 'America First' in the race to be the Republican nominee for Governor. The entire state GOP is on board with Vivek.
Basically:


Vivek Ramaswamy and Casey Putsch both gathering signatures to appear on the ballot. Casey claims he obtained enough last week. Vivek, of course, will have no issue getting on the ballot.

Casey Putsch reacts:


A newly surfaced clip (I think from 2024) shows Vivek calling for closer ties to India and decoupling from China:

Casey Putsch commits to freezing H1Bs and student visas if elected:

Vivek to NYTimes:
Medicare and Medicaid were a mistake. (But I will never ever criticize Social Security)

Genius economic Vivek Ramaswami: We should just grow GDP by 50% and people will stop hallucinating that prices are rising.

Candidates are putting out edits (well, not Vivek because he's not using social media):

I'm sure you're all wondering about the Democrat Primary right?

Dr. Amy's BSKY and TikTok:

Some campaign stuff:

 

[Gnu Fig]

Surely this is the release where hides the evidence required to overthrow Drumpf and save our illegal brethren and their fraud schemes

Wall Status: Closing

 

[marvlouslie]

Holy fuck. They actually DID manage to arrest Lemon. Good.

 

[Point and Laugh]

The thought of Klasnmen seething that a nigger has been charged under the law named after the KKK makes me chuckle.

I think they’d be pretty happy about that.

The fact that an obese sheboon could terrorize white women and children inside a Christian church? I’d like to think the reaction would be half of Minneapolis burned to ashes.

 

[RGK5H]

The mob won't be pleased until 5 million

They won't be happy until theres a smoking gun implicating Trump

Ohio Republican Primary Race Update:

What an absolute shit show.If Ohio unironically goes blue, drumf has no one but himself to blame.

For precedents, you can start by looking at US vs Brock, where in the opposite scenario of abortion protestors entering a clinic uninvited and chanting in the waiting room, they were found to have met the conditions proscribed by the FACE act.

Uninvited entry contributed to force, presence was considered intimidation etc. it’s like the perfect analogue

How dare you celebrate chud?!

Ohio is 100% going blue after this. If there is a rake, Trump will step on it.

Casey Putsch reacts:

I can't fucking believe people in this thread tried to convince me that JD was ever going to be MAGA. Once Trump is out it's legitimately over for the right.

 

[Blewberry Nausea]

And btw, a church is PRIVATE PROPERTY

When churches pay taxes they can be private property.

 

[Sensitive Young Man]

Looks like Jeff was feuding with Bill Gates

 

[Joy Jay]

I've always been wary about JD but this seals the deal for me. Dude's gonna jeet up the country harder than Biden spick'd it up.

You never pass up a chance to remind us all that you’re a massively retarded faggot, do you?

 

[Libtardism Is Over]

Vivek is going to win the primary and the general. He will have the R next to his name, a lot of money (he's a rich indian guy), and will have prepared rebuttals to any attacks on him. Doesn't matter if some of the attacks are legit - he is going to have prepared answers to make them seem less legit, and in the realm of elections that's what mainly matters.

When Vivek Ramaswamy becomes Governor of Ohio, it will show to the entire world that getting hate on the Internet is not the exact same thing as losing enough potential voters to not win an election when the fundamentals are in your favor

 

[Trans Fat 41g]

I've always been wary about JD but this seals the deal for me. Dude's gonna jeet up the country harder than Biden spick'd it up.

Which would align with your hatred for the US, correct? Try being consistent.
