    His actions made no impact, so far. Are you expecting the more than half of Americans who voted for Trump and other Republicans to suddenly change their political identity?

    And you’re not supporting his cause if you send money to his commissary, you’re supporting the private prison system.

      It’s literally global news, CEO’s have been pied in the face, which while tangentially related is another reminder. Policeman forces and corporations are “cooperating for added security” and whatnot bullshit.

      Like arguing that Rosa Parks taking a stance had no effect. It took almost a year for there to even be a decision of any sort, as the case got bogged down in the courts.

      The prosecution is already having issues with jury selection. It’s only been a few weeks since the assasination.

      It’s beyond ridiculous to say what he did hasn’t had an effect.

      This is incorrect, we’re all talking about it so it’s brought the conversation to the forefront if nothing else.

      More than half of Americans didn’t vote for trump, roughly 1/3 did.

      Republicans to suddenly change their political identity.

      Republican don’t have a political identity to speak of except “No!” see also: Their current inability to even pass a budget they wrote.

      you’re not supporting his cause if you send money to his commissary, you’re supporting the private prison system.

      He’s being held at the Metro Detention Center in Brooklyn, it’s not a private prison.

      You’re so bad at this you have to be a troll, and not even a good one, sad.

        More than 50% of people who voted, voted for Trump. You know that, don’t be disingenuous like that.

        The Commissary is run by a third party company, not a public office.

            Booohoooo Wah Wah WAh

            Except I don’t feel an ounce of empathy for stupid assholes who allow Republicans to take control and throw a violent and deadly tantrum as a result.

                  They owned themselves when they allowed biden to run for a second term and then realized they fucked up and decided to run Kamala instead of you know… democratically holding a primary.

                  For a party that loves to pretend they care about “saving democracy” (whatever the fuck that means) they sure suck at practicing it.
