Just like in the pre-WWII Germany, Americans will stand by as #Trump arrests and imprisons his political enemies without #resistance.

At least she tried to stop #Trump by proving he is a criminal. It should have been Merrick Garland's job. 🙁

The fact that she is both black and female means that an indictment and a prison sentence will come swiftly, and the American public will just assume she is guilty because #Trump says so.

@KarunaX exclaims: 「The Government of the PRC is far more democratically elected than nearly every Western Govt, where Govt is a servant of oligarchs, not the people.」 🫡☭🇨🇳

🤡🙃 If your "Hail CCP, putin & fellow dictators" act didn't stand for literal genocide denialism it'd be even funnier. The old "'Murica EVIL" spiel OTOH never ceases to be funny so full marx on that battle front.

Now, congratulations. Your correction was *technically* right. The Chinese dictatorship's #regimeinsecurity diktat (which CCP calls NSL) dictates that *serious* offenses will result in minimum of five (5) years in unairconditioned #Hongkong dungeons.

The fun part of course is that CCP alone determines the offense and the verdict. You can not find a *single* court ruling that went against the CCP's will. Oh, the *was* a single case in the early days of "NSL" but CCP's local cadres (aka HK gov't) simply overturned it... wait for it... by changing the law itself. 🤷🏻‍♂️

⚠️ Question: How many years in the CCP dungeons do you think is appropriate punishment for the 'national security' crime of ordering these cartoon books by mail?

CCP: “ 'Beijing' would never require companies to illegally gather data and intelligence from overseas“

Well d'oh. The CCP *is* the 'law' in the PRC dictatorship.

The United Front Work Department's global operations are entirely legal by virtue of them being "by the CCP, for the CCP".

To CCP everything is "legal" and nothing external and foreign from UN Charter and other intl. treaties down is ever actually binding beyond appearances and temporary convenience.

"#HongKong’s human rights lawyers are fleeing abroad amid an effort to cleanse the city of dissent. The pressure is part of a wider crackdown by the ruling #CommunistParty on lawyers across China, say activists, legal scholars and diplomats."
