The GOP is still morally corrupt, even if Discourse breaks

Mark_Asher · 2020-07-01T21:17:07.018Z

Yeah, I just read that. WTF Florida!

MrGrumpy · 2020-07-01T21:23:13.523Z

No kidding! I guessed maybe a couple hundred thousand, but not that, yikes.

KevinC · 2020-07-01T21:30:42.631Z

Holy fuckballs that’s disturbing. It’s not unique to Florida either, I imagine.

Is that number right, or does it include currently incarcerated felons?

Prison populations are the new slavery. They count for a full person instead of 3/5th and you can use them as labor if you want to. Better yet the state pays your private prison to keep them. Odds are they can’t vote even after they get out. Pluses all around.

The school-to-prison pipeline is some deeply evil shit.

Just in case any of y’all were wondering whether or not this is a racist country, founded on racism, ruled and run by racism.

I can’t imagine how ready I would be to burn down a fucking Target (because apparently that’s the fucking Rubicon of civil disorder these days) if I were a black man.

It’s not even a dog-whistle any more.

It’s a foghorn.

The number in the Wikipedia article is from this:

1232.32 KB

From their table (on page 15), 1,487,847 of the 1,686,318 total are individuals that are post-sentence.

Also, the report includes this fun map:

Kinda surprised he didn’t opt for a black and red color scheme.

So we’re just not gonna talk about how the official trump store is selling a red-thread baseball for $88 where everything else on the site has an price ending in a zero? Because that seems pretty very much not an accident. https://t.co/7GcFQT93zJ

I assumed that had to be a joke, but no. It’s real.

It’s just so weird and hard to explain, in a "Why do all these homosexuals keep sucking my cock?" kind of way.

Ok, so there’s some profound nexus between Nazis and gross incompetence going on here.

Because that sure as hell looks like Nazi imagery…

But also, it’s apparently something that they just straight to pulled from Shutterstock, and didn’t even bother to change.

Shutterstock.com

Emblems Eagles Usa Flags Design Element Stock Vector (Royalty Free) 1479895235

Find Emblems Eagles Usa Flags Design Element stock images in HD and millions of other royalty-free stock photos, illustrations and vectors in the Shutterstock collection. Thousands of new, high-quality pictures added every day.

So it’s like… Some Nazi could have specifically searched Shutterstock for this. Not gonna put it by them.

But it also could be that someone was just super lazy, and also so dumb as to not notice it looked like a Nazi really. Which I ALSO wouldn’t put it by them, because everyone working for Trump is SO FUCKING DUMB.

vyshka · 2020-07-02T02:11:06.476Z

Sure in isolation, but how many fucking times in a row can it happen and still be incompetence?

RothdaTheTruculent · 2020-07-02T02:42:11.139Z

In fairness to the Nazi’s, drawing an authoritarian eagle is hard. I tried to do one for a project a couple of months ago and it didn’t turn out that great:

Ryan_Kelly · 2020-07-02T03:58:22.628Z

A good, decent American eagle has a shield on its chest. Know the difference, it could save your life.

Madmarcus · 2020-07-02T04:22:52.817Z

Not the Marines eagle, globe, and anchor. No shield on it’s chest.

Ryan_Kelly · 2020-07-02T04:34:00.644Z

Yes, but you see the Marines are part of the Navy, and their eagle has a shield!

Okay, fine, maybe I was omitting some good eagles. I also express my regrets to the Medal of Honor eagle.

On the other hand, the America First slogan is all Trump campgaign Nazi.
