I’m not a fan of this longstanding thing where articles have headlines like the last sentence in the chapter of a YA novel. I feel it’s an underdiscussed aspect of the dumbing down of news and politics discourse. Everything has to be comminicated in this epic movie poster, self contained “boom. That just happened” style and I hate it
There is a butt. And now, it’s farting.
There are big pig balls. With a log laying on them.
That writing style is effective. And you know it.
The pardons are definitely going to embolden the Freikorps to do more riots and more murders. Trump just demonstrated that if you act in his name you can get pardoned for it.
But like, Trump doesn’t actually give a shit about them. I doubt he’s actually going to pardon them if they get themselves arrested again unless it’s really popular.
So, mixed bag I guess.
If my understanding of Trump is correct, I believe he 100% would pardon someone for doing some illegal act in his name, so long as it’s not against one of his allies or maybe even against anyone in the ruling class.
He doesn’t give a shit about the person themselves, but he cares about his image and “looking strong”. He is playing into the aesthetics of fascism, while not really understanding what fascism is (e.g. interlinked with capitalism)
He already pardoned the proud boy leadership that was in prison for their January 6 roles
I figured he wouldn’t do it because he thinks they’re losers for failing their January 6 objective but here we are
They’d have to do something really spectacular to even get his attention, something on the level of storming the capitol.
I have a feeling they’ll start small and he’ll just totally ignore them.
The point of the pardons is to send a signal for more vigilantes to take action, not to protect or create alliances. He will deploy pardons insofar as it communicates something.
I doubt he’s actually going to pardon them if they get themselves arrested again
Why? It seems extremely likely he’d do exactly that, imo.
Does that PB on his throat stand for Piss Baby ?
It actually stands for poop balls
Really nice of that guy to tattoo a perfect target.
I’m getting too fuckin old to keep clowning on these fuckin chuds
Wait a minute wasn’t Tarrio literally a fed informant? I kinda doubt he’ll be back in charge, but hey never underestimate chuds I guess.
Chuds love the feds if they use them against leftists.
Sure but he was informing on the proud boys themselves IIRC
Lol yeah back when he got caught selling stolen diabetes test strips, the feds turned him informant and he worked for them for years until j6 happened and they burn noticed him
man who just got out of prison and leads anti-state militia’s brilliant plan for revenge on his jailers? the superior and overwhelming violence of the state. genius.
If I ever meet a group of Proud Boys I’m 100% fucked because I’m going to laugh at their silly name and then get beaten to death.

Hyper masculinity turned fascist instead of art. Some of them could have been great fitness influencers.
Intelligence is not necessary for success of these orgs, persistence in doing recruitment related work is. Everyone says they want to grow an org but very few people actually step up and do the work needed to do it, orgs live and die by the members responsible for their growth leaving them. Identifying those individuals and effectively removing them from orgs is the same as killing an org in the longterm.
Our org would fuck them up completely. We regularly have to play defense for people against hardened gang members, not some roid-popping feds and suburbanites
Fascism with a fondness for breakfast cereal and an aversion to masturbation
Extremely stupid timeline
Breakfast cereal and aversion to masturbation are joined at the hip though, so that combo isn’t unlikely.
I thought the proud boys weren’t allowed to cum anywhere but in a vagina tho?
