One of the things that I miss about reddit was going over to the crazy subreddit and seeing how they reacted to news like this. Might open up an incognito window and check it out for old time's sake.

Edit: Found the crazy I was looking for lol

standard pressure flip, which should be illegal. We all thought it was cute in the 80's when it was used against drug dealers, but its amazing how fast the tools of tyranny end up being exclusively used on patriots.

They basically level charges at someone, true or false, and offer a plea deal in exchange for testimony against their desired target.

100% of the time, its just a trick to abuse people and have them bear false witness, a game as old as medieval torture chambers.

Plea bargains should be illegal, granting immunity for testimony should be illegal, and people should only be tried for actual crimes, laywers and judges that abuse the legal system for political gain should be stripped of office immediately.

Old joke. Conspiracy buff dies and goes to Heaven. St Peter leads the soul to God's throne room and tells them that they can ask God Himself one question.

"Who really killed John Kennedy?" the human asks.

God speaks, "My child, it was Oswald acting alone."

The soul gasps. "The conspiracy is even bigger than I thought!"

I used JFK because I doubt many MAGoos are going to see the Pearly Gates.
