I'm sure that will work. "ONE SIMPLE TRICK THE REPUBLICANS DON'T WANT YOU TO KNOW ABOUT."

Why are politicians not accountable for spreading lies? Not even ridiculous ones like this?

[-] Treczoks@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Lets hope they get this done. Trump and Vance as prison buddys, now that is something I'd love to see.

[-] YeetPics@mander.xyz 4 points 2 months ago

Send them to prison and hide the couches.

Would love to see it happen, but I won’t hold my breath.

They’ve already ruined their reputations themselves, honestly keep it up🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿

And for the half of Americans that continue to support them without question after having done so, honestly. Half of the American flag should be drenched in sewage to reflect how they are leaving the reputation of the US within and outside of it.

I don't think half of Americans support him.

Hang 'em both.

Stochastic terrorism needs to have more severe criminal penalties for career politicians specifically. Right-wing figureheads have been getting away with this shit for too long.

We're now penalizing the parents of school shooters, so if we find out that someone who threatens to bomb a school is a super fan of X person, then X person should face some sort of penalty if they continually put out deliberate lies about said school. We did a version of this with Alex Jones already, just follow through with that logic honestly.
