The Beltway conservative consensus was that Trump was nothing more than a political fit of pique, and the quicker he was out of the picture, the quicker the GOP voters' love for tax cuts, war, and sodomy would be rekindled. Look at how they're responding to the indictments. They have no awareness that the common GOP voter is contextualizing it against the organized, nationwide terrorist attacks the left wreaked and which Democrats actively abetted, from the attack on the Senate offices to Disrupt J20 to Antifa's attack on the White House, and, of course, how an absolutely evidence-free (really evidence-free) conspiracy theory about a Russian spy ring with Donald John Trump as its most trusted agent was used to try and delegitimize the 2016 election and find a reason to remove Trump from office. Even if Trump did anything wrong, what he did pales to the years of violence and fraud the left wreaked on our country, and the GOP did nothing about. They just think, "Oh look, indictments, we can jump on this to make our dumb, stupid voters forget about him!" And they can't figure out why their voters hate them more and more and more. The Democrats have sponsored organized terror cells in major cities, and Mike Pence just says, "That's not my concern."
Store clerks have legal options when someone shoplifts. Teaming up to brutally beat the thief isn’t one of them. No wonder two 7-11 clerks in Stockton who battered a would-be shoplifter with a wooden rod are being investigated by police, as reported on TV news. Although brazen stealing is frustrating, costly and dangerous to store employees, confronting it with violence that far exceeds self-defense is not the answer. Most people watching the first part of a viral video taken by a bystander will be shocked at the way a man with partially concealed face methodically sweeps stacks of cigarette cartons off a shelf with his arms and into a bag-lined garbage bin on July 29. Viewers might be outraged and angry that the suspect seemed to believe he could calmly walk out with stolen goods, unimpeded. These types of images symbolize growing public frustration over brazen theft occurring in public stores that many of us frequent. Part of our outrage is that we imagine ourselves faced with sudden danger while minding our own business while shopping. In this case, the robber was impeded from “getting away with it.” One clerk grabs the shoplifter’s arms and takes him to the ground while another man wails on the suspect with a staff or pole — raining more than two dozen blows in full-arc swings, mostly to his legs and torso as the man screams in pain.
Where is the line when it comes to protecting property?
California law gives a homeowner the right to confront an intruder with deadly force. That right does not extend to commercial property subjected to shoplifting.

This is an important distinction and one wonders if the legal outcome of this confrontation results in felony assault charges for those who went too far defending a store from theft that may not have even risen to a felony charge. The justice system will decide this. Readers of The Modesto Bee recently learned the ins and outs of citizen’s arrest. If you observe a crime, you can lawfully detain someone until the cops arrive, reporter Dominique Williams explained. “Reasonable” force is OK under some circumstances, Modesto police told her. But a citizen’s arrest that goes wrong could lead to civil or criminal charges such as assault and battery, false imprisonment or kidnapping, according to the Shouse California Law Group. “If there isn’t an immediate threat to their own or others’ safety, citizens should be encouraged to let police handle the situation,” Williams wrote with reference to a California Department of State Hospitals policy manual.
FRUSTRATION DOESN’T JUSTIFY VIOLENCE
No doubt the Stockton clerks were frustrated. Authorities said the partially masked man had reportedly stolen from the store before. A Stockton police station is just across the street from the store, which may have contributed to the frustration of the store clerks. But again, we don’t know that, shouldn’t assume that and even if this were the case, frustration over theft on commercial property is not a justification for violence, in the eyes of the law. Police in Stockton are busy with weighty matters, as they are in Sacramento, Modesto and elsewhere. Petty theft often doesn’t get the cops’ attention, and if a thief is arrested, the punishment handed out in court typically is light. But thrashing the guy with a big rod, viciously and repeatedly, is not a lawful response. The bystander recording this display of vigilantism saw the beating for what it was and tried to intervene verbally, asking the clerks to stop and ushering the bruised man toward the door. Before exiting, the shoplifter asked for a soda, calling into question his mental state. At no time did he appear to pose a physical threat to the clerks. Street justice may be popular in movies or among frustrated citizens, but it has no place in a society governed by the rule of law.
Reminder that the argument against election fraud happening boils down to, "Well, we use the honor system, and people are honorable."Probably one of the most unusual pundit commentaries I've seen, Jan Halper-Hayes, who sits on a TaskForce for the Department of Defense, 9 minutes:

We need to build a wall around California so when they inevitably no longer have businesses to obtain goods from they can't go somewhere else and continue to be parasites.Meanwhile this shitlibism continues unopposed.

Too late, Colorado and Oregon are already lost and Texas isn't far behind.We need to build a wall around California so when they inevitably no longer have businesses to obtain goods from they can't go somewhere else and continue to be parasites.
Who in Desantis team isn’t abandoning ship at this point?

The default reaction to the California mind virus is revulsion. That's why it takes having the entire tech economy backing it to be accepted by anyone. People are telling California to go fuck itself even when you basically have to suck their dick to make big money in this country. The Faustian deal they demand is increasingly not worth it because they are running out of money and influence, so imagine how all of this will crumble once they can't just bribe everyone into believing their horseshit.We need a War on California like there was the War on Drugs and War on Terror.
"He needs to be more moderate" means, "get back in line with the global enslavement agenda or we cut your campaign funding." Anything that endangers the process of rendering citizens into docile cattle is considered "extremist," despite these "extremist" policies being the basic fucking building blocks of a healthy society for the past 2 centuries.I thought this was gonna be about his shit poll numbers and collapse of his effort but no, "he needs to be more moderate he is getting too extreme" holy fuck no wonder they were so happy to play along with 2020 electoral fraud with a GOP like this who needs the DNC?
All i was implying is that blackpilled faggots to stop being allYou could've also said "Looks like the left will have to find another way to get their incompetent but politically loyal pet demographics into positions they don't merit or deserve. But hey, at least you have racism and tranny hatred as a bogeyman for brown people underperforming and the left's normalization of pedophilia being slowed up a bit". That's probably a little more on the nose.
When the doomer holocaust is upon us, I'll be a front line soldier. But this is my one guilty doomer pill: 90%+ of the niggercattle just want a dictatorship that gives their sensibilities the force of law.
People make the expected noises when words like "freedom" or "authoritarian" come up. But they not only have no use for freedoms they don't want to use, but are positively offended by the idea that other people are using their freedom in ways they don't approve of.
Most of the right still sees political power itself as neutral and legitimate, per se, and not an inevitable but dangerous imposition on personal freedom. I think the culture war stuff is more front and center with them than the authoritarian power grabs all around them. The tactic is only bad because they're currently the target. Really hope I'm proven wrong about this.
You have a few cretins floating around like Asa Hutchinson or Chris Christie. The correct path to take during the Republican primary season is to wait out Trump's court cases and grease palms at the contested convention when Trump gets convicted and becomes ineligible "for the good of the party." You can get the sense that the DOJ is trying to time their cases to be before primary season ends for this specific reason. People seem to forget that the voting portion is irrelevant to the selection of candidates, it just informs the people at the convention whom to vote for, which they usually do. Contested conventions haven't been a thing for many years.Who the fuck is the GOP going to back if DeSantis keeps spiraling into failure?
lmfao what kinda niggercattle falls for this propaganda. The banks said something publicly? Everyone knows that means the opposite is being said behind closed doors. The same banks that said the housing market in 08 was just fine.
I want to sign up for a twitter account just so I can mock this retard.Meanwhile this shitlibism continues unopposed.
