The Afroman Trial.
-Cops raid Afromans house for bullshit reasons.
-Steal money, break his door, fuck his house up.
-No criminality found whatsoever, no charges at all pressed on Afroman.
-Afroman spends the next 3 years making songs that make fun of all the officers involved by name, even using footage of the raid from his own CCTV cameras.
-Songs had titles like "Randy Walters is a son of a bitch" and "Lick Em Low Lisa" accusing one of the officers of being a lesbian and sleeping with the other officers wives.
-During the raid one officer looked like he was about to eat some lemon pound cake sitting on Afromans counter, Afroman made a whole album calling the officer fat.
-The cops get mad and file a lawsuit for defamation.
-Afroman turns up to court in a whole American flag suit.
-Officers performatively mald and cry while listening to the songs really trying to oversell how badly the songs upset them.
-One officer was suing because Afroman made a whole song about him saying he was fucking the officers wife. When the officer was asked if Afroman was really fucking his wife, he said "I don't know". Nuking his own case and establishing that there is a non-zero chance that Afroman might actually be fucking his wife.
-As his only witness for the trial, Afroman brought a deputies EX FUCKING WIFE.
-The jury ruled completely in favour of Afroman.
This entire thing has been a great win for free speech and absolutely fucking hilarious.
As yet another preemptive war is begun in the Middle East, John Quincy Adamโs words of wisdom still ring true:
โWherever the standard of freedom and Independence has been or shall be unfurled, there will her heart, her benedictions and her prayers be.โ
Like most Americans I have sympathy for the plight of the Iranian people and all subjected people around the globe, from North Korea to Tibet.
But as Adamโs wrote, America: ย โgoes not abroad, in search of monsters to destroy.
She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all.
She is the champion and vindicator only of her own.โ
The Constitution conferred the power to declare or initiate war to Congress for a reason, to make war less likely. ย
Madison wrote that โthe Executive Branch is the branch most prone to war, therefore, the Constitution, with studied care, delegated the war power to the legislature.โ
As with all war, my first and purest instinct is wish Americans soldiers safety and success in their mission. ย
But my oath of office is to the Constitution, so with studied care, I must oppose another Presidential war.
At this point we are long past the point where any (any) rationale for keeping the Epstein files secret is valid. Enough is already out to cause suspicion in anyone even tangentially mentioned. Even they'd be better off with a full release.
The 2nd amendment is not for hunting, it is not for self protection
It is there to ensure that free people can defend themselves if god forbid government became tyrannical and turned against its citizens
Carrying a firearm is not a death sentence, itโs a Constitutionally protected God-given right, and if you donโt understand this you have no business in law enforcement or government.
