I love that Trump didn’t just commute Ross, but gave him a full pardon and was so vicious about the people who put him behind bars. “Scum” was the perfect description.
After more than a decade of insane wokeism, I understand why there has been a rise in hardcore right wing sentiment. When dudes in dresses are giving lap dances to 11 year olds, a “put them against the wall” tweet is much more satisfying than a message about individual liberty, and that’s understandable.
So, I apologize for this bleeding heart libertarian message, but at some point we need to grow up and think about what kind of society we want for our children, not just what message sounds more hardcore and will ‘own the libs.’
Ross was given two life sentences plus 40 years for creating a website. Think about how insane that is. How barbaric and vicious it is to hand that type of sentence to anyone, short of the most brutal violent criminals. Call it what it is: state sanctioned torture.
There are many people who are burned by the legal system the way Ross was and after Jan 6th and the Trump trials, right wingers should recognize this danger and blatant miscarriage of justice.
Americans should consciously consider who we want to be as a society. Do we want to be the freest country in the world, or the country that imprisons its own people the most and the hardest. You can’t be both and the choice should be obvious.
@lecternleader@RandPaul@RepThomasMassie Congress controls funding am I correct? Who approves 41k for a window? This inflated price would make the Mafia blush.
Real journalists risk their lives telling the truth. Julian Assange, Gonzalo Lira, @azaizamotaz9. These are real journalists. Heroes. In a world of bootlicking propagandists, people like this are rare and should be honored by the WE THE PEOPLE whom they serve cuz they never will be by the establishment or the history books.
Ep. 47 Gonzalo Lira is an American citizen who’s been tortured in a Ukrainian prison since July, for the crime of criticizing Zelensky. Biden officials approve of this, because they’d like to apply the same standard here. The media agree. Here’s a statement from Gonzalo Lira’s father.
(00:00) American Zelensky critic jailed in Ukraine
(05:14) Where is our State Department?
(08:40) Lira arrested after criticizing Biden
(11:49) Is Ukraine the democracy we’re told it is?
It seems likely that government officials were involved in planting pipe bombs in Washington, DC three years ago, as part of an effort to keep Donald Trump from running for president again. Darren Beattie has details.
