Damn, White Jesus is an asshole.

Always has been.

Reject white Jesus, accept Black Jesus

I'm not religious just to make that clear

The funny thing is Jesus was, in fact, guilty of treason against the state

That requires you to assume the goals of a Christian nation are out of line with the goals of a Roman Empire. And Emperor Constantine certainly didn't seem to think so.

They won't reject him for the crimes he's convicted of, they'll reject they legal system that convicted him of those crimes.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 10 months ago (2 children)

They only reject the legal system when it's Republican politicians getting prosecuted. They're just fine with it when it's immigrants and other minorities getting murdered by police or deported or thrown in prison.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

Yes. That's Conservativism. First decide who is good (cishet white Christian males) and who is bad (basically everyone else). Then subjugate the latter group(s) to the benefit of the former. The court system doing something other than that gives the Conservative a visceral level of discomfort.

If you could reason with trump supporters, there would be no trump supporters.

As usual it's the pot calling the kettle black. The most blatant US example of a political prosecution in my lifetime is when Trump got John Durham to prosecute two people for reporting him to the FBI. Both of these people merely did exactly what we tell people they're supposed to do: reported suspicious activity to the FBI. Both were accused of telling immaterial lies that were documented exactly nowhere and clearly lacked the kind of evidence that would be needed to justify any other prosecution. In fact, two prosecutors in the DOJ argued that charges shouldn't be brought and one resigned in protest over the prosecutions. Both defendants were acquitted after short deliberations, but only after their lives were overturned and they were savagely attacked in the conservative media.

But no one talks about them because unlike Trump, they don't have the biggest microphone on the planet. Then there's also Trump's blatant pardons of his political allies, which is just as bad of an interference in the judicial process.

Well, there are so many Presidents in American history that got away with all their crimes, it really is kind of surreal to see one caught on something so trivial. A real "Al Capone caught by the IRS instead of being a mobster" moment.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 10 months ago (4 children)

He’s caught on a bunch of stuff. This is just the first one to get through trial because of the delay tactics of the judge he appointed in one and the delay tactics of the Supreme Court in another and delays associated with poor judgement in the private lives of the prosecution in another triggering delays.

I’m guessing their defense/diversion from all this will be to claiming it was a rigged trial for political purposes and/or talking about other people committing crimes, so why is Trump suddenly getting punished for committing a fake crime?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago

The hand, pointing out, he's reading this exact phrase, the only phrase in the book, is perfect.

In fairness, most politicians who pay off their prostitutes with campaign hush money don't get prosecuted.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 10 months ago

It wasn't prostitution though, that would have been standard. This guy tells Stormy that it's a job interview like he's Harvey Weinstein

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago

IF only that was the crime. Then ya, sure. It's the fact that he did it to influence an election. That's the crime.

I enjoy the schadenfreude as much as the next guy, but there is a frame in which this kind of confusion does actually make sense.

It's the frame in which you acknowledge that our system of justice isn't about holding everyone equally accountable to the law, it's instead been an institution to keep the poor and marginal in their places- that is, it's about enforcing an unspoken social, class, gender, and racial hierarchy that a lot of the MAGA folks take for granted and really want to defend and uphold.

That is the order they're talking about when they say 'Law and Order'. The order is a social, racial, gender, and class hierarchy, and the law is the means by which the hoi polloi are kept in whatever the powerful in it regard to be their 'rightful places'.

For these people, the idea that the law might actually apply to everyone is an attack on the basis of order as they understand it. Of course they're mad.
