Bragg and Disney: We can play "what about" too.

Sorry if this has been posted before, but it occurred to me this morning in the shower.

I am beyond fed up with all these repukes feeding their followers (and Faux Noise) the bullshit that Bragg’s investigation of tfg is political. Besides the fact that Bragg spent months collecting evidence and witnesses to try to show that “someone” was suspected of breaking NYS laws, and that the grand jury (23 people) believed it and voted to indict him, there’s also the little inconvenient fact that Bragg went by the book and did exactly what DAs are paid for.

NOT investigating him WOULD have been political. Cue Bill Barr.

But then “what about” that prick in FL? Thanks (so to speak) to SCOTUS, corporations are considered individuals and have the same rights. IIRC, it all stemmed from the amount a corporation can contribute to a politician wannabe. So that prick tried to hobble Disney because they exercised their FA right to free speech by disagreeing with something he said.

Are ya going to tell me THAT ain’t political?

May Pluto have diarrhea all over their sorry fucked-up heads.

Either businesses tow the line, or they get destroyed and/or divied up to the party loyalists.

People indoctrinated into the Republican cult will continue to accept the lies without question.
