President Donald Trump has issued a full pardon for loyalist Michele Fiore, who paid for her plastic surgery with funds that were meant for a statue honoring a slain police officer
This part of the article is interesting (and sad):
Fiore, who does not have a law degree, was appointed as a judge in deep-red Nye County in 2022 shortly after she lost her campaign for state treasurer.
I’ve watched a ton of judge Judy episodes and also feel qualified to judge others.
Google Translate for Conservativese:
LAW ➡️ The exercise of state power, or its agents. e.g. “The law is at the door.”
ORDER ➡️ Social hierarchy. e.g. This pardon restored order by putting this woman a back in the social hierarchy where a white conservative belongs, rather than at the bottom, under the bootheel of the law, with the brown people.
100%.
Law - the whims of the king and his agents regardless of what the written law is. The written law will be ignored or interpreted and then modified retroactively to suit the king’s whims. The law only applies to opponents, critics, outgroups, minorities, and those that can be interpreted as foreign. The king and his sycophants can get away with whatever they want.
Can’t argue with “Order”.
This is gender affirming care.
It sure is
If this were any other president than Trump it would’ve been a great Onion back in the day, but to be honest a headline like this wouldn’t for a second make me doubt whether it’s satire or not.
TFW the government doesn’t back the blue.
Yet another failed actor/actress.
Its a weird thing now so much if the right wing is filled with people who so desperately want to be special a D seen as so by everyone else but will shift to willing to take any path to get there.
Its like they thought those were the easiest ways to get fame and money and that is as far as the thought went and it works when your leader is this gross but in your corner.
Want to know why the kids are turning conservative? This feels like why. They see they need to drop morals to get what they want and they have been told what they want is fame and money or they will never be happy.
A friend years ago clued me in to the Rosetta Stone for understanding conservatives: At base, they have a deep, abiding self-hatred. Yes, people often say it’s fear, but everybody’s motivated by fear of something. The conservative is motivated specifically by fear that they’re worthless, that they don’t measure up.
It makes so much sense when you game it out: They’re constantly needing external validation that they are good, or at least, better than somebody else. The basis of racism becomes clear as day in this light, and the desperate need to be special is just kind of axiomatic.
Arrest the judges, pardon the con artists
Stealing from cops to buy tits. What could be more American than that?
She should at least be made to get a tattoo reading “Alyn Beck memorial tits” or whatever she had done.
