  • No no, you misunderstand the circumstances. He wasn’t pardoned for the “murder for hire” charges, those got dropped. Years ago actually, quietly, after they were used to unfairly influence the case he was convicted in which the charges were “engaging in a continuing criminal enterprise, conspiracy to distribute narcotics, conspiracy to commit money laundering, conspiracy to traffic fraudulent identity documents, and conspiracy to commit computer hacking.” For those charges he was convicted on all counts and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole, but after that case ended the other case with the murder for hire charges was dropped for lack of evidence and police corruption in the case (and the cops themselves were actually convicted.) He can’t have been pardoned for a crime which he was never convicted in the first place. Not only that but the charges were dropped “with prejudice,” which means the court has looked at the merits of the case and made a final determination that the case should not move forward. The prosecutor is barred from refiling the charges at any future point.

    The Jan 6th guys however were convicted of their charges, just as Ross was convicted of “engaging in a continuing criminal enterprise, conspiracy to distribute narcotics, conspiracy to commit money laundering, conspiracy to traffic fraudulent identity documents, and conspiracy to commit computer hacking” and so basically “no they were convicted, Ross wasn’t but was overcharged for other crimes which he was convicted for.”

    Look at it this way, if I’m a cop, and I just know you committed a murder, I’m damn sure of it, but I have no real evidence except for some stuff I fabricated, and then you get arrested for selling weed, I don’t think it should be legal for me to put you away for life for the charge of selling weed “because I toootally know you did that murder I don’t have evidence for.” Basically that’s what happened to Ross boiled down.

    You may think someone deserves to die in prison for “engaging in a continuing criminal enterprise, conspiracy to distribute narcotics, conspiracy to commit money laundering, conspiracy to traffic fraudulent identity documents, and conspiracy to commit computer hacking,” but I don’t, call me a progressive idk.

    No no more like the boot licking you’re doing to the corrupt cops that were actually convicted for being corrupt. Wild choice but it’s yours to make. Meanwhile I’m “bootlicking” for that super dangerous…checks notes…webdev. Real scary guy that one.

    I’m talking about your defense of convicted corrupt cops. Camera or not they were sent to prison and yet here you are parroting their lies, why?



  • Before pardon: Free Ross

    Wrong president does it: Wait akshully the corrupt cops that were convicted were right even though he was acquitted of those charges for lack of evidence!

    Fucking mind boggling. Like fuck me I don’t like the annoying orange either but this was the right move, he never should have been in jail (at all, end the drug war, but…) especially not “for life” for the crime of running a website.

    And free fucking Snowden while we’re here, goddamn.



  • Well due to double jeopardy he can’t be tried again for the crime he’s already been acquitted for due to lack of evidence and police corruption, but you’re free to lick any boot you wish, and judge people based on all the untrue lies directly from the police you want to, it’s understandable!

    I’m assuming you also believe police like Derek Chauvin then, since he was also convicted and convicted corrupt cops are somehow trustworthy to you? No? Well by all means believe these corrupt cops and not those corrupt cops, corrupt cops can be right twice a day or whatever, even when they’re stealing millions of dollars of bitcoin from the guy they’re fabricating evidence against, that doesn’t mean that the fabricated evidence is fabricated!

    Why is there no “jerk off with eye roll” emoji? The world needs it.

    This was sorta my fault, but I’m counting it. I have been flashing meshtastic devices recently and flashed two just fine from fedora (just had to DL ungoogled chromium because fuck chrome but librewolf can’t access serial ports so…), tried to flash a third from my friend’s windows PC and it just would not recognize it in the serial monitor, tried for like an hour being dumb, then I remembered drivers exist, downloaded one set of drivers, couldn’t install lord knows why, downloaded a second set that finally worked on a reboot and got it flashed.

    I understand that sometimes you still have to install drivers on Linux too, but can we stop pretending you don’t have to on windows? What’s more while I was in there and edge wasn’t using my serial port my friend said to install a chrome based anyway to try, and I had to find the damn download pages instead of using a package manager, philistines.


  • Well Kakarot’s hair kinda looks like a pineapple when he goes Super Sayan, I guess, and so he goes on to fight Vegeta and fuck Bulma (Vegeta’s wife). The part I don’t get is unless some shit has gone down in Super, Goku never has and never will have sex with Bulma.

    First of all, he’s basically sexless. Technically Chi-Chi kiiiiiiinda R’d their kids into existence by taking advantage of her intellectually disabled husband, that’s how little he even understands sex (but like it’s fine because he’s basically a god anyway I guess.)

    Bulma also first encountered him when he was like 5, and she clearly thinks of him as more of a brother.

    It’s for these reasons that the joke falls apart for me in the 4th panel, and I’m a nerd.
