    “First and foremost, I know – as a former federal prosecutor and as a defense lawyer for decades – that a person who is a judge, who has a residence who has no problem being found, should not be arrested, if you will, like some common criminal,” Gimbel said. “And I’m shocked and surprised that the US Attorney’s office or the FBI would not have invited her to show up and accept process if they’re going to charge her with a crime.”

    The cruelty is the point

      When people are loosing their basic civil rights, I’m not going to guzzle tears because some judicial pig didn’t get the special treatment she was owed according to her station.

            This waste of space owes existence itself an apology.

            So you have one-line answers to all political discussions on Lemmy with your one-month fresh account. I see you are a video gamer, do you think Lemmy is a screen game of reaction-commenting to important issues, detached from reality of how the psychologists and psychiatrists of Cambridge Analytica have worked with Russia to create alternate-reality out of USA society?

            Have you noticed how people in USA are behaving in 2025, talking about invading Greenland and forcing Canada to be the 51st state… or are you back to your video games for distraction? Have you ever studied how people can become detached from reality and dehumanizing with social computer systems, outright anti-humanism behaviors?

            “At the NATO summit in Wales last week, General Philip Breedlove, the military alliance’s top commander, made a bold declaration. Russia, he said, is waging “the most amazing information warfare blitzkrieg we have ever seen in the history of information warfare.” It was something of an underestimation. The new Russia doesn’t just deal in the petty disinformation, forgeries, lies, leaks, and cyber-sabotage usually associated with information warfare. It reinvents reality, creating mass hallucinations”

                Fuck off back to Russia you divisive troll

                I’m not Russian. My name is Stephen Gutknecht, I was born in Columbus Georgia. I grew up in Fort Wayne, Indiana. I’ve been to Milwaukee, the topic of this Lemmy posting. I speak critically of Russia, but you seem to have a style of Lemmy communication I can describe: Your messages here on Lemmy are reactionary, Twitter-length hate-filled “fuck off” messages to Americans, that’s what you do here to Americans who call-out Putin’s information war on social media systems.

                 

                Fuck off

                As I said, i was born in Georgia. That’s were Dr. Martin Luther King Jr is from. Going around on social machines and telling people to “fuck off” is hate messaging, I suggest you study up on what hate does to your brain:

                “There’s another reason why you should love your enemies, and that is because hate distorts the personality of the hater. We usually think of what hate does for the individual hated or the individuals hated or the groups hated. But it is even more tragic, it is even more ruinous and injurious to the individual who hates. You just begin hating somebody, and you will begin to do irrational things. You can’t see straight when you hate. You can’t walk straight when you hate. You can’t stand upright. Your vision is distorted. There is nothing more tragic than to see an individual whose heart is filled with hate. He comes to the point that he becomes a pathological case. For the person who hates, you can stand up and see a person and that person can be beautiful, and you will call them ugly. For the person who hates, the beautiful becomes ugly and the ugly becomes beautiful. For the person who hates, the good becomes bad and the bad becomes good. For the person who hates, the true becomes false and the false becomes true. That’s what hate does. You can’t see right. The symbol of objectivity is lost.” - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

                 

                you divisive troll

                Your Lemmy account is only 2 months old, you show up on days-old post that mention Russia and you start attacking the Americans who are criticizing Russia. Are you describing your own Lemmy messages, psychologically projecting that you are copying “Internet Research Agency” patterns of messages in April 2025 on Lemmy?

                 

                Russia-watcher Catherine Fitzpatrick, who documents Kremlin disinformation for InterpreterMag .com, says just as Moscow uses vague Internet laws to encourage self-censorship, trolls inhibit informed debate by using crude dialogue to change “the climate of discussion.” “If you show up at The Washington Post or New Republic sites, where there’s an article that’s critical of Russia, and you see that there are 200 comments that sound like they were written by 12-year-olds, then you just don’t bother to comment,” she says. “You don’t participate. It’s a way of just driving discussion away completely,” she adds. “Those kinds of tactics are meant to stop democratic debate, and they work.”

                  I’m saying, Russia encourages both sides to fight each other and I’m sick of the fucking Russian propaganda everywhere and anywhere I look these days

                    You said “fuck off”, spreading hate. I was born in Georgia, were Dr. Martin Luther King Jr is from, you need lessons: “You can’t see right. The symbol of objectivity is lost”

                    “There’s another reason why you should love your enemies, and that is because hate distorts the personality of the hater.

                    I’m saying, Russia encourages both sides to fight each other and I’m sick of the fucking Russian propaganda everywhere and anywhere I look these days

                    It is Americans like JD Vance and Tucker Carlson and Donald Trump spreading hate on media systems, it is also Middle East supporters who want to kill each other in Israel and Palestine over Torah Synagogue vs. Quran Mosque, I suggest you view hate itself a s problem no matter where it is in the world and your “FUCK OFF” messages are hate messages.

                    fucking Russian propaganda everywhere and anywhere I look these days

                    You think October 7, 2023 in the Middle East has nothing to do with social media propaganda everywhere the past 18 months? You know how long those hate-wars have been going on, thousands of years. Propaganda everywhere surged when terrorists attack Israel. This isn’t only a Russia and USA problem.
