    10 years ago, this would be a bad joke that fell flat.

    5 years ago it would have been insane.

    Now, it’s merely highly unlikely.

    …developing….

    Which was the point I was trying to make. The state of Minnesota would be crazy to allow the feds to charge this and not the state. Chauvin would be free if he was only charged federally.

    This isn’t a Kyle Rittenhouse situation, so yeah, highly.

    Yeah….you know how the Chauvin pardon talk came hot and heavy for a while and then stopped? Do you know why?

    Chauvin pleaded guilty to the federal charges in exchange for an agreement between the state of Minnesota and DoJ that he’d serve his state sentence concurrently in a federal prison rather than going to state prison. It was Chauvin who didn’t want the pardon as all that would mean is he was transferred to the state prison on charges trump couldn’t pardon.

    if he’s only tried federally the chances of Trump pardoning him are a hell of a lot closer to 100% than highly unlikely

    You believe the comparison between Chauvin and Floyd, and this guy and a couple of state legislators, is a good one. I don’t. We can just leave it at that…everyone is gonna either agree with you, or with me, and that’s that.

    You seem to have forgotten we’re talking about fascists. Kind of surprised this is coming from you tbh.

    I think we can both agree on one thing…we hope I’m right, and we hope you’re wrong.

    I’ve mentioned that I was reading Shirer last October but had to put it down for my mental health. My view has been that it’s 1933. Your prediction is more 1938ish.

    but yeah, let’s hope you’re wrong

    So WTF is a peacekeeper? Apparently the person shot in SLC was shot by accident by "a peacekeeper" who was shooting at a man with a gun who was charging at protesters with his own gun. The person shot was just a bystander, not the target, and is reported to have died, and the report indicates the shooter was "a peacekeeper" not a policeman?

    Some wannabe dogooder took a gun to a sign fight and the predictable result came of it?

    Demonstrator - killed
    Aggressor - pealed off and apparently went to get a rifle
    Killer - Was part of the "peacekeeping" group and had brought a hand gun.
    Killer's partner - Also a "peacekeeper" who also brought a hand gun, but didn't fire it.

    And who hired these "peacekeepers" is unclear.

    Good job, gun lovers/owners.

    You are both wrong. Cuz this is absolutely ridiculous. I was told a good guy with gun is the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun and I don't know how I'm going to live in this world if you guys are right!

    Here's a good one from 2021:

    Rep. Beatty compared today’s incident to the Black Lives Matter protest in Washington, D.C. several months ago and pointed out the stark differences in how the crowds were handled.

    "When we had members of BLM who came with t-shirts, signs, they didn't come with weapons, or flags and they came to march for change and stand up for George Floyd and Breonna Taylor and all those who came before them. When you look at how they were treated, you ask where is law enforcement now?” said Beatty.

    “This is the work of this president,” she said. “This president invited and sent people here. This to me is equivalent of treason for you to come and deface and destroy the Capitol and to have members of Congress, and young staff have their lives threatened?"

    Once again, where the hell were the police and military on 1/6/2021? Republicans have no problem defending buildings when it's a left-wing protest against their MAGA Daddy.

    Well regulated militia FTW!!!

    Yeah, and if anyone wants to make a good faith argument that we’re in some earlier year than 1933, I’m all eyes. Have at it.

    Good. Does this mean that since Trump has multiple felony convictions he should removed from office?
