The president is a convicted felon. It doesn’t matter. Founding Fathers fucked up.

[–] clutchtwopointzero@lemmy.world 26 points 3 days ago (1 children)

To be clear: the the current "foundationalist" supreme court have failed us and failed the common law system by reverting interpretation of laws back to the 1700s

[–] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 29 points 3 days ago

To be fair to the founding fathers the Supreme Court isn't reverting to 1700s interpretations. It's an activist court that is cherry picking the most conservative laws from our history and throwing in batshit insane things that go beyond even the limits of the founding fathers.

The founding fathers were pieces of shit in a number of ways but the fuckers we have now are worse.

His face is like if Nixon and Jack Nicholson had a mutant bastard child who lives off coke, botox, and shame.

What a mess.

[–] Erasmus@lemmy.world 25 points 3 days ago (3 children)

More like if Nixon, Nicholson, and Butt-head had a three way and somehow birthed this douche bag

Butt babies are funny.

[–] Good_morning@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 2 days ago

No mention of his hair plugs?

[–] EvacuateSoul@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

And the Grinch

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

and then fell out of the ugly tree and face planted every branch on the way down.

Oh no "hackers" got them? I hope they don't "Crash and Burn!"

See what I did there?

[–] ME5SENGER_24@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago

It’d be “zero cool” if this wasn’t released to the public

[–] magnetosphere@fedia.io 25 points 3 days ago

POST THAT SEALED SHIT EVERYWHERE

[–] whostosay@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Sounds like it's gonna be some false flag shit. Who takes this and sits on it? They're going to claim because of the hack that the chain of custody is no good and call it a day.

[–] jeffw@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Who takes it and sits on it?

gestures to every corporate ransom

You don’t just release it right away

[–] whostosay@lemmy.world 0 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

I think you should take a second look because from here it would appear that you didn't read the article you posted. There is no mention of money, payments, nor ransom. That's not what this is. In fact, I haven't seen a single report of this being a ransom situation at all.

[–] jeffw@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

There’s no mention of false flags either. I offered a logical response to your hypothetical

[–] nixfreak@sopuli.xyz 12 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Finally the scene is doing activism again.

[–] TheFogan@programming.dev 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Umm... we are limited to "someone took the file". If it's leaked publicly we could call it activism. Or it could be Russia looking to have some blackmail to better control, in which case it won't be leaked unless Gaetz does something they don't want.

[–] TheEighthDoctor@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Sometimes is just someone leaking it and then they say hackers did it

[–] Mediocre_Bard@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

So? If nothing is going to happen, then I don't need to know about it.

[–] jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Look at that sexy, irresistible face.
