If you support free speech, you must support people pinging other users. It's completely legal speech. If you won't defend pinging as free speech because you or someone else finds it disgusting, then no speech that you or anyone else views as disgusting is safe.

if it is in fact on shaky legal ground it's reasonable to not want to be the case that establishes it as illegal.

It's not, The reddit admins are straight up lying to the ignorant (like yourself) to justify their prejudice. Pinging being protected speech has long since been estabilished, as it has undeniable artistic merit. The only time it's been included under any obscenity laws is when someone is being charged with possession of harassment, so the state can slap them with more charges. The courts have been very careful to not charge anyone for pinging, because they'd get their asses fucking annihilated by a higher court due to the firm precedence of pinging being completely legal speech. /r/Drama had nothing to worry about, this guy was just making shit up to fool people into thinking his censoring wasn't entirely personally motivated.

So is this why the GOP has been pumping judges into the system in wholesale fashion?

But Mueller is also a Republican.

Dont expect much critical thinking coming from these people. Yet even with my low expectations, I was surprised.

They don't seem to realize that this judge was appointed in 1987 and not like, appointed yesterday by Trump

Something something Ronnie Ray-Gun.

Unironically.

Can’t abort the manafort

Isn't this just for financial crimes? I don't keep up with this kind of stuff but I thought he was getting a separate sentencing next week or something. People are sperging out way too hard though so I might be wrong.

Federal prosecutors recommended 19-24 years. The judge gave him less than 4 for leading a “blameless life” which is demonstrably false and shows the judge’s bias in this case. He made comments defending trump as well

That's really gross. Hopefully they hit him really hard during the next sentencing then. Guy deserves to rot.

I don't keep up with any of this shit lol. I barely even know who Manaford, Muller, or Cohen are and only know some of they stuff they do from a cursory google search or background noise when I pass the tv.

Probably.

Imagine submitting anything besides comments.

gross

Yikes. Toxic. Problematic.

Y I K E S my DUDE. Do better!

Actually now that I think about it, I usually get spammed articles and tweets of this stuff from my leftist friend who unironically is a walking caricature of the Yikes/Problematic blue checkmark language.

Yikes

Wasn't aware gross was part of the wokesphere language pack. My apologies. Would you prefer "I hope this mongoloid fascist gets le guillotine XDXD" or "Ha h ah Helicopter rides!!" or something less edgy?

Yikes

😎 gotem

That's really gross

bitches leave

The prosecutors are probably going to appeal the sentence and if there are any strong signs of bias they can get his sentence enhanced. It goes to show that there are consequences to allowing one party to just block the entire judicial process for an entire decade and then allowing them to shove as many political hacks in as they can once they get full power.

He made comments defending trump as well

lolwut? you are saying a judge can't comment on anything about anyone now?

Shows a bias? Imagine you committed some serious crime and were found guilty and then during the sentencing, the judge went on about how awesome your boss is and gave you a slap on the wrist. You don't see the conflict of interest?

What? are you like a /r/political subscriber or something?

No.

Oh, I just got one of those chills only a /r/politics user can give me, but I typed /r/political which is probably less awful. .

"Your honer just because I post there doesn't mean I subscribe."

your honer

I heard he yelled "you're in MAGA county!" too.

So do you think that RGB should recuse herself of any trials related to trump after her comments about him?

dude who gives a shit.

👆

Cope

Why you so mad bro? Who gives a shit, really.

Cause I want people who do shady and damaging shit to face consequences, is that too much to ask? This guy is a scum bag through and through, he’s responsible for people dying and I want him to die behind bars

That's not cash money dog. Go hang out in a subreddit that cares.

We're here to watch the drama, not serious post.

Dems and Reps can't help but spurg as usual.

I’m just answering your question. You asked why I’m worked up so I told you. Guess I’ll bounce now

Oh my bad. Didn’t realize he was charged for murder.

"You know he has killed people in Ukraine? Knowingly” - manafort’s daughter. I’ll take her word over yours

Yawn. Call me when he’s charged for that.

manafort’s daughter

Daddy issues aren't evidence.

i mean the op did ask a question

Yes, but everyone was expecting something, anything related to Russian Collusion™ and they didn’t get it.

Something must have gone wrong, a bunch of failed authors online journalists told us that he’s going down and bringing the whole Trump Crime Syndicate™ with him!

So is this why the GOP has been pumping judges into the system in wholesale fashion?

What the fuck do these people want? When the GOP wins the Senate and the Presidency, should they not fill judges?

Nah clearly they shouldn't appoint any judges, they should leave those seats vacant for years so that dems can appoint who they want

(P.S. the judge in question was appointed in 1987 - so not exactly a product of recent judicial appointments)

I think that’s what they would prefer.

I mean in other actually functioning democracies we dont stuff our judicial system full of retarded boomer partisans, seems to work.

Cool but when whatever postage stamp-sized country you live in becomes the most rich and successful country in human history and has the longest continually existing Constitution, you go ahead and let me know your tips and tricks.

burger COPE

take some more fenatyl and go back into your worlds most prosperous trailer park.

Hey I finally got enough money to get out of that trailer park. You wouldn't believe how much fent you have to sell before you can afford a nice appointment in Pocatello.

!!!seriouspost!!! america may be very well off but they are nearly on par with other countries with far less advantages because y'all are terrible at policy, i think its USA and one asian country to not have mandatory pregnancy leave and thats not even getting into healthcare !!!seriouspost end!!!

How is your second year of university going?

please i was agenda posting about how bad the US healthcare system was in HS, uni is all about regulatory capture and needless subsidies.

uni

Don't ever appropriate our culture again

Fuccckk, that sub could replace /r/cringe

When you have a subreddit that worships a Republican attorney that was FBI director under Bush a week before 9/11

C O P E

The head of the FBI isn’t politically appointed. You’re thinking of the Dept of Justice, a politically appointed office that is basically there to annoy the FBI and push the president’s gay agenda.

and push the president’s gay agenda.

wtf I love the Department of Justice now

Reading Andrew McCabe’s book made me hate them even more.

Imagine the extinction-level-event spergz which will occur when Daddy wins four more years.

white privilege....

Why does every sub that hates Daddy turn to this ?
