    I keep saying it: The one thing that may still save us, is their virtuosic incompetence. All we have to do is give these apes enough rope, and they will eventually hang themselves.

    The problem is all the damage they’ll do before then.

    It’s funny that of all the alleged murderers that end up in court, The put a ballistic vest on Luigi we certainly ain’t gonna shoot him) just to make him look more dangerous.

      “we” aren’t. But the Bootlickers might try to. But I agree that it’s to make him look more dangerous. Because they certainly wouldn’t give a shit if a red hat shot him.

    True americans knew day one that this whole case is botched and ruined since the administration politicized it and the healthcare CEO’s made it to be WAY more than it was.

    Hopefully he is let go and we can start arresting and charge the criminals running our country right now. It’s gonna take years to charge all the people in the white house, so the sooner we start, the better.

    Did anyone actually think he’s gonna get a fair trial? He’s obviously a patsy set up because they couldn’t find the real guy anyway. Who actually carries the weapon on the bus with them? The real one is probably at the bottom of the East River.

      I have to disagree because I think this conclusion is a trap.

      The people listening to that stuff and eating it up? Yeah, dummies.

      The people SAYING that stuff though? It feels very intentional because it’s a win-win for them. At the beginning they get the base riled up, donating, and engaging with the propaganda machine. Then later on when Luigi suddenly gets off on a technicality, the outrage over that fuels even more furor, donating, and posting/watching.

      Conservatives live on outrage. It is irresistible to them. Especially to the white persecution complex ones like my extended family, god damn.

      In the Alec Baldwin case it seems to me the important people at the office took on the case because it was so high profile. They screwed it up because of their inexperience with actually doing any work.

      Could be the same thing happening with this case.

        And after the DoJ historically having a 99%+ success rate in front of Grand Juries, this administration has had loss after loss, absolutely unprecedented.

        They don’t even get a chance to learn from their mistakes, because they just blame their losses on liberals, somehow. They are convinced that they are right in their legal strategies, so they keep on the same path, despite going over the same cliff, every time.

          Now the crucification will cost them so much credibility.

          It’s a nice thought, but no it won’t. The 99% that always vote two-party really don’t give a fuck about anything other than what their favorite news broadcast tells them to, and all the news broadcasts villainized Luigi and tripped over themselves talking ad nauseum about Thompson being an innocent victim, and a family man, etc. etc. etc.

      Conservative Justification: You have to be patient, and give the process time to gain momentum. If you need to accelerate the process, then more conservative policies need to be implemented, more harshly.

      I’ve been hearing that for literally 40 years. Shouldn’t those policies have kicked in by now?

      Oh, right, they did.

          Those people are the periphery of the Democratic Party, and deliberately held in that place by the rest of the party. When people say “The Democrats” they mean the people with actual power in the party, like Pelosi, Schumer, Harris, etc.

          Maybe theyre not all in, vut they did condemn luigi. They lack a backbone just like the rest of the democrat party. Theyd rather just kinda hope things get better rather than making it happen.

      I knew it was horseshit the moment they just found the three things that were impossible to find “from a good Samaritan” all in one neat place. Look at this man right here, he has suspect, motive, and murder weapon on his person’s right now!

      This whole case stinks like shit.

        The actual killer was good enough to escape and hide for days. He’s long gone and hiding now. Not in a McD’s with all his evidence.
