Don't worry, this was just locker room murder talk. NBD!

[-] PeepinGoodArgs@reddthat.com 26 points 10 months ago

Ah yeah, I remember when I was in the locker room talking about grabbin' pussy and murdering people. We were such bad boys back then!

[-] thisisawayoflife@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago

Just boys being boys! Smoking, snapping each other on the ass with wet towels, comparing Nixon portrait tattoos on our nether regions, etc.

[-] thefartographer@lemm.ee 8 points 10 months ago

Hey boys! Let's celebrate our locker talk with dick-punches all around!

Said Stone: “It’s time to do it. Let’s go find Swalwell. It’s time to do it. Then we’ll see how brave the rest of them are. It’s time to do it. It’s either Nadler or Swalwell has to die before the election. They need to get the message. Let’s go find Swalwell and get this over with. I’m just not putting up with this shit anymore.”

Hello, FBI? I'd like to report a credible threat of assassination against sitting members of Congress...

[-] LeadSoldier@lemmy.world 20 points 10 months ago

The FBI knows. They just don't care.

[-] SCB@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago

The FBI literally prosecuted him and won a conviction, after which he was pardoned.

[-] eestileib@sh.itjust.works 5 points 10 months ago

The FBI is trumplandia

Another good one

The intervention from the Justice Department prompted Aaron Zelinsky, the prosecutor and Mueller deputy who led the case against Stone, to recuse himself from the case in protest. Mediaite reported last week that Stone was caught on tape in December 2020 urging Greco to “punish” Zelinsky.

“He needs to be punished,” Stone told Greco in the audio. “You have to abduct him and punish him. That has to be done. It will be easy to abduct him because he is a weakling.”

... who the hell are Stalwell and Nadler?

Are they like Statler and Waldorf?

Democratic Representatives in the House:

Both Nadler and Swalwell serve on the House Judiciary Committee. At the time of the Caffe Europa conversation, Nadler had announced the committee would be investigating then-President Donald Trump’s decision to commute Stone’s sentence after he was convicted of federal crimes in Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia probe.

How is this cut rate Batman villain still out of jail?

[-] AbidanYre@lemmy.world 48 points 10 months ago

He was in jail. Biff Tannen let him out.

[-] Telorand@reddthat.com 14 points 10 months ago

I wish I didn't know the link between him and Trump.

[-] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 34 points 10 months ago

This dude is straight out of Gotham.

[-] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 33 points 10 months ago

But he looks so harmless and not sinister.

[-] grue@lemmy.world 21 points 10 months ago

The difference is that Roger Stone is more cartoonishly evil.

[-] Scotty_Trees@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Roger Stone vs Roger Rabbit Villain, lol

[-] ChucklesMacLeroy@lemmy.world 14 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Yeah but Octavius had a defective chip attached to his brain. Stone is a defective chip dangling from the asshole of America.

[-] AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Not evil enough

[-] TheaoneAndOnly27@kbin.social 4 points 10 months ago

Well I will never be able to unsee that comparison now lol

[-] gregorum@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago

“HELLO, EDDIE!”

[-] dudinax@programming.dev 32 points 10 months ago

Stone was convicted on 7 felonies. Donnie commuted his sentence before he went to prison, then brought him back into his campaign pre-election, and coup plotting team post election.

[-] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

The Penguin always finds a way back onto the street after Batman puts him away.

[-] fluxion@lemmy.world 26 points 10 months ago

claiming they were generated by AI

Flood gates are open. You can get someone dead to rights on recorded audio/video and they'll just weasel right out of it with the "AI" defense.

[-] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

Too bad republiQans give absolutely not a single fuck about the rule of law.

Not a single. Fuck. Complete fascist cowards.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
