You mean the child sex trafficking accomplice of Epstein who received a unprecedented transfer to a day camp white collar prison? The woman who perjured herself and is a known liar? We should believe her when she says nice things about the man who can pardon her? Yeah right.

Don’t forget that we are in this redistricting battle because the ideological Supreme Court held (5-4) that partisan gerrymandering cases couldn’t be heard in federal courts Remember: This was a SC that that was configured that way after Republicans stole a SC seat. No stolen seat=different result.

Trump Justice Department is contacting Ghislaine Maxwell’s attorney to setup a meeting. Will they offer her a full Presidential pardon if she agrees to testify that Trump was never on the island or at any Epstein sex party? Does she need to name Democratics and exonerate Trump to get it?
RL (@meshugaas.bsky.social) reply parent
She complains about usurping Trumps Article II power? Well, If she is doing such a banger job, & is so qualified, use those powers to nominate her for the job. I guess they don’t feel she is qualified enough to make it through the Senate’s Article I power to advise and consent?

… and that cop should be disciplined. But the stop and the SovCit behavior is why the window was busted. It had nothing to do with race. Now that said, we have different options on it. Good people debate. Stupid ignorant people disparage the other. Your first reaction was to name call & be vulgar
RL (@meshugaas.bsky.social) reply parent
Oh you know about it. If you knew anything you would see there are multiple units there. That happens when they encounter a SovCit. Next time you get pulled over for anything try arguing the stop and refuse to get out of your car when ordered. Same thing would happen to you. Punching him was wrong …
RL (@meshugaas.bsky.social) reply parent
Maybe you not knowing about the movement blinds you? I would love for the full video to be released, I bet they gave him ample chances to comply. I bet he refused to provide DL. I bet he refuse to identify. He HAS TO get out. SCOTUS Penn v Mimms. Do you get to choose which laws to obey? I don’t
RL (@meshugaas.bsky.social) reply parent
Stop calling me names. You are uneducated on the problem with Sovereign Citizens. He did do something wrong. I hope you never get hit and injured by a Sovereign Citizen with no valid license. No insurance. No vehicle registration. Educate yourself on the movement before you defend them.
RL (@meshugaas.bsky.social) reply parent
Many times if they would just cooperate they would get a warning or a ticket to fight in court. I could not be more progressive & protest against police violence but Sovereign Citizens are a growing problem. They don’t believe in any laws. No license, no insurance, no registration. Watch some videos
RL (@meshugaas.bsky.social) reply parent
Hey, I agree that is what it looked like with the short video. But I have watched probably 100 of these videos. He sounds like a Sovereign Citizen. They all question the stop. They all ask for a supervisor. A lot refuse to get out of the car. When that happens the window is broken.
RL (@meshugaas.bsky.social) reply parent
Well Fang, He wasn’t following the law. He was running the SovCit script. In EVERY STATE when asked to exit the vehicle that is a lawful order you must obey, Penn v Mimms, otherwise it’s obstruction & resisting. He was classic SovCit. Watch some videos. youtube.com/@vanbalion?s... BTW fuck you too
RL (@meshugaas.bsky.social) reply parent
Sorry you are incorrect. Watch some videos. Every SovCit stop, EVERY ONE, starts with complaining about the stop and denying doing anything wrong and questioning jurisdiction. EVERY ONE asks for a supervisor. EVERY ONE is given the order to get out over & over. Only then the window gets busted.
RL (@meshugaas.bsky.social) reply parent
Looks like a Sovereign Citizen stop to me. He is refusing a lawful order & using SovCit language. In Pennsylvania v. Mimms (1977), Supreme Court ruled that police can order drivers out of their vehicles during a lawful traffic stop. Don’t get out, window busted & dragged out. BUT NO RIGHT TO HIT HIM
