So the people upset about the wrongdoing can be punished, but the people who wrongdid are not able to be punished?
Fascinating.
It's pronounce fascism
What’s that? I can’t hear anything besides this guillotine whooshing down with its blade. Bonjour!
The headline is missing the point and downplaying what's going on here, this lawyer wasn't expressing frustration, he didn't raise his voice or make insulting remarks or anything like that. He was asked by the judge [paraphrased] "Why is your client breaking the law?" and replied [paraphrased] "I asked them that too. I guess they didn't mean to do it?" but the Trump administration wanted him to either straight up lie and say they hadn't broken the law or refuse to answer the judge's questions and pretend the court didn't have authority to ask them.
Not only is our executive branch breaking the law and ignoring court orders to follow the law, they're throwing out any attorneys who won't also break the law and ignore judges too.
Just more evidence that the "weaponized DOJ" was projection.
It always is.
No dissent will be tolerated.
So much for free speech.
You can have all of the free speech you want, as long as it's the right speech.
You'll be hard pressed to find lawyers who are both competent and willing to directly lie to a judge.
Why would this administration need competent lawyers, they're playing the game with cheat codes and can't lose
Maybe if more people hold up signs and occupy a sidewalk outside buildings that these oligarchs never go to will fix this! Lets organize ANYWHERE BUT their mansions, lets not inconvenience them too much and inconvenience eachother even more. That'll show em! I can't wait for the next time millions of people gather together to be ignored, just so long as we don't organize and gather at places we can't be ignored, that'll make them fear us!
Hard /s because people still seem to believe that peacefully holding signs and capitulating to the villains will fix anything.
There are stages to escalate through and multiple channels to apply pressure through at the same time.
Large-scale peaceful demonstrations are an important first stage, and are still required as more intense channels are opened up.
It's a matter of "Yes, that and more" not "No, something else"
Touche. Perhaps I figure that we'd already be at that stage by now, considering how broad the consensus is about who the villains are. Considering the crime that Luigi is unjustly taking the fall for, and how uniting across the board that was, I figured that was less a seed being planted and more a full grown tree bearing fruit.
Nobody here is stopping you from organizing/doing your own whatever. There are sites like mobilize.us where you can organize a protest at whatever oligarch's mansion you want. Stop whining and waiting for someone else to do what you think needs to be done. Be the change you want to see.
Let's discuss plans to commit civil disobedience in public forums, that's a great idea! /s
