1. Thanks for reminding us what a racist POS you are, Marjie

2. He murdered George Floyd and was convicted but he's a political prisoner. Got it, Marge

13. I'm so sick of their self-victimization bullshit.

I saw one the other day for some whackjob who was involved in January 6th and beat police officers nearly to death. It was because he was a loving father and Christian!!! Never mind that he was a violent psychopath who was armed to the teeth and had a grudge against the government because he was brainwashed by talk radio. That never happens!

3. But Dr. Fauci needs to be locked up. Republican logic makes my head hurt.

14. Remember, the conspiracy theory whackos are the same ones who accused the Ukranians of being Nazis.

I'll never understand that one as long as I live.

Ukraine's Nazi problem is real, even if Putin's 'denazification' claim isn't

Of the many distortions manufactured by Russian President Vladimir Putin to justify Russia’s assault on Ukraine, perhaps the most bizarre is his claim that the action was taken to “denazify” the country and its leadership. In making his case for entering his neighbor’s territory with armored tanks and fighter jets, Putin has stated that the move was undertaken “to protect people” who have been “subjected to bullying and genocide,” and that Russia “will strive for the demilitarization and denazification of Ukraine.”

On its face, Putin’s smear is absurd, not least because Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is Jewish and has said that members of his family were killed during World War II. There is also no evidence of recent mass killings or ethnic purges taking place in Ukraine. Moreover, labeling enemies Nazis is a common political ploy in Russia, especially from a leader who favors disinformation campaigns and wants to stir up feelings of national vengeance against a WWII foe to justify conquest.

But even though Putin is engaging in propaganda, it’s also true that Ukraine has a genuine Nazi problem — both past and present. Putin’s destructive actions — among them the devastation of Jewish communities — make clear that he’s lying when he says his goal is to ensure anyone’s welfare. But important as it is to defend the yellow-and-blue flag against the Kremlin’s brutal aggression, it would be a dangerous oversight to deny Ukraine’s antisemitic history and collaboration with Hitler’s Nazis, as well as the latter-day embrace of neo-Nazi factions in some quarters.

4. Posobiac says the same thing at whatever Nazi festival their having

At least he said the Chauvin didn’t murder Floyd.

5. Margie, if Donnie Dumbass does pardon him, I think he'd turn it down.

He’s in federal prison, because he pled guilty to federal charges AFTER being convicted in state court. If the federal charges go away, I don’t see Tim Walz pardoning him, so he’d go back to state prison. He doesn’t want to be in state prison.

[spapeggy]

9. Why is that?

Is state prison supposed to be worse than federal prison?

[rsdsharp]

10. Yes. He pled guilty to the federal charges as part of a deal to get transferred from state prison.

[JoseBalow]

11. Yes

State prisons are exponentially worse than Federal.

6. We're gonna need a new circle of hell for this one.

She's special.

[tinymontgomery]

7. Free everybody, their all political prisoners

Free everybody, they're all political prisoners. In jail for weed, it's political because they refuse to make it legal nationally, states have made it legal. Just one example.

8. Used to do some work in her rube red district, bet her constituents love that crud.

[JoseBalow]

12. She's a ridiculous troll

[Cha]

15. Shut UP Garbage Fuck.

[Straw Man]

17. I guess part of what they consider "Making America Great Again" ...

... is bringing back the ability of police officers to kill people of color with impunity.

18. only when murdering Black men is intrinsic to your politics...

Oh....
