This article makes the case that New Mexico has sufficient public evidence, today, to open a criminal investigation into Attorney General Todd Blanche for bribery of a witness, tampering with evidence, and conspiracy, and that opening one requires nothing but a decision by elected officials who answer to the public.

They keep thumbing their nose at you americans and still you do nothing. 35% of you think they are doing great. Didnt you cry to keep weapons so you could stand against a corrupt government? so here you have even more evidence of corruption. Now where is your NRA?

Fwiw, I'd imagine of the people that were pushing hard in support of the 2A, most but not all we're conservative. Of those 35% you referenced, I bet almost all of those contribute to that group of hard fast 2A supporters. There is a large portion of us that didn't vote for this, don't support 2A, and hate the current state of affairs.

The public has weapons to defend the corrupt govt that doesnt care about the public. Its what the founding fathers wanted.

Instead he gets to be the one to put us in prison and he'll even make us pay for it. People are not mad enough.

Elected officials do not in fact answer to the public. It was always a bit of a sham to get the pacivity of a democratically sated populace while maintaining effective aristocracy, but even that is obviously over. Advertising has become too advanced and your social reproductive apparatus (education) too degraded.

You will need to do real democracy, or admit you're just slaves.

And you're Americans, so I know how much you like your slavery.

Aaaand nothing will happen.

This comment is less useful than an astrological reading.

[-] BassTurd@lemmy.world 2 points 28 minutes ago

Well, not with that attitude.

This means jack shit now if true. Also, substack so take that for what it’s worth.

[-] slickgoat@lemmy.world 12 points 3 hours ago

Sounds like an automatic pardon to me.

It's not like these guys experience consequences.

In these times, I stopped saying that things can't happen.

Do we think laws apply to these people?

The headsman’s axe is more efficient. Portable, too.

[-] Malyca@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 hour ago

I feel like a dull sword would do the trick

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 5 points 1 hour ago

Sure.

But it’s all about efficiency. We got a lot of assholes after all.

[-] watson387@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 hour ago

Right. More than one whack is the difference between 300 and 301 heads in a day.

[-] BassTurd@lemmy.world 1 points 26 minutes ago

I could do it with toothpicks if given the opportunity. How many billionaires and corrupt politicians do we have? I could knock that out in a week under less than ideal circumstances if needed. The guillotine is a great option for efficiency and shock though.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
