"Look, I didn't actually force feed anyone, I just thought it was really funny and laughed at it."
anyone who ever utters the phrase "i was just following orders" to excuse their behavior should get the nuremberg treatment.
in fact, you can skip the trial and just get straight to the end
We're a country run by fascists. We're not giving anyone Nuremberg anything.
i'm trying to cut back on the aggressiveness of my :fedposting: but i trust you understand what i am really saying here
i am well aware we are in hell. i live in florida
:trans-heart: i'm okay, really! my partner and i have been making plans to leave and will probably be doing so sometime before the year is out. i'm one of the extremely privileged ones.
but thank you, honestly. you're actually the second person tonight to offer me assistance in escaping, because the users here are just the absolute fucking best.
I'm trying to figure out what I might be able to do over on the West Coast. Maybe leftists should start calling for sanctions against Florida?
Set up armed trans communities that take in refugees from red states, something along the lines of Tenacious Unicorn Ranch in Colorado. I'm not joking, that's the kind of mutual aid the Amerikan trans community needs rn.
i wish i had answers. i don't think money is going to matter, somehow. tennessee gleefully threw away a few billion in fed money in order to pass their anti-trans shit
sanctioning florida would be funny though, so i support it
it was more merciful than they deserved then and the same would be true now
that said... :yes-hahaha-yes-l:
How about the Communards' Wall treatment, but in reverse?
After. High School Teacher was 2002, Guantanamo Torture Advisor was 2006.
Funny how these creepy teachers with political connections keep coming into contact with the intelligence services and elite shortly afterward. :epstein:
I mean it's pretty much the classic way the feds rope people into being intelligence assets. Find incriminating stuff (especially anything involving pedo stuff or human trafficking) and blackmail them to work for a three letter agency
Yes DerSantis you might not have been the hand that actually did the deed, but as a legal adviser who suggested what could and could not be done? Who watched the entire time and was right there?
You. Complicit, enabling you. Torboto Remembers DerSantis. NSFW
just want to yelll NEEEERRRRDDDD homer style every time i hear him speak
God, they're both playing a slippery fucking semantics game. It might be technically true to say DeSantis is accused of "authorizing" force-feeding, but it's in the sense of "co-signing," "tacitly endorsing," or "allowing" rather than directly giving orders. They both know this, but DeSantis answers using the more obvious "direct order" interpretation and so is technically telling the truth (completely omitting that his duty was theoretically to protect the detainees from this illegal torture). Rather than clarify his question, Piers Morgan says "so that's wrong" which allows DeSantis to flatly deny any culpability. Scumfucks.
Weird that he wouldn't lean into it, but it's to my understanding that a lot of modern day conservatives are old school InfoWars libertarian types and i feel like this would be the sort of neocon thing they were opposed to at the time
He did not simply "observe" torture, he was part of the torture. He intervened on behalf of the torturers.
If he embraced the allegations, would that even lead to a drop in his support? Or am I too cynical?
Whatever this is only going to increase his popularity with the GOP base. Liberals don't care all that much either, death to America.
