Trump Asked Why He Thinks He Can Arrest Gavin Newsom — Says He Committed ‘Crime’ of ‘Running For Governor’ - Lemmy.World

What crime has he committed? I think his primary crime is running for governor because he’s done such a bad job. What he’s to that state is like what Biden did to this country. And that’s pretty bad. It’s the wrong philosophy. Thousands, hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants, many of them prisoners, they’re taking up your healthcare, they’re taking up your space in schools, they’re taking up your hospital. And in many cases, they’re criminals. And we have to do something about it. And we’re doing something about.

Jesus fucking Christ what have you Americans gotten yourselves into? Do we need to pop across the pond and sort you out again?

Well it was this or a woman.

Pretty hard choice for them.

Whole lotta people that should know better stayed home, too. Also, a lot of people still bleating out nonsense, even now, about “both sides” and talking about “shitlibs” and GenocideJoe and so on.
Why are you supporting genocide?
Who is?
Right now every American who pays taxes.
No.
Why not?
The premise is absurd.
Does the tax dollars not go to fund Israeli weapons?

Yes they do.

Do you think the general population who pay taxes get a say in that?

That doesn’t matter, support is support.

It’s literally in the definition of support.

to give financial assistance to (a person, organization, program, etc.); be a contributor to or patron of:

I try to support the local theater by buying season tickets every year.

Our scholarship fund supports a number of students from lower-income families.

How can someone just stop paying taxes? Through what method?

What’s your solution?

I could easily say that you support Genocide unless you fly to Israel and protest. Obviously that would be a foolish statement but it’s kind of what you are doing.

I sell drugs and drug accessories and I don’t pay tax so I don’t support genocide.

So your argument is “I can do it that means everyone can do it”?

That’s a really flawed argument.

I don’t see how not paying taxes wouldn’t mean I’m not supporting genocide though.

By flying I’d be paying taxes and supporting it.

Noted.

How many grassroots campaigns against genocide have you started in your hometown?

If the answer is less than 1 then according to your argument you support genocide.

My argument is I don’t pay taxes so I don’t support genocide grassroots campaigns have nothing to do with it.

Well governments of the world aren’t standing up to Israel because they feel no political pressure from their constituents to do so.

Therefore you support genocide because you aren’t doing anything to put pressure on your politicians to stop it.

This is all extending from your original ridiculous accusation. See how absurd it is?

If people don’t pay taxes the government will have to change or will go bankrupt.

You’re overthinking a simple concept and seem to be confusing yourself by doing so.

Keep making yourself feel better about doing nothing to stop the genocide.
That was pretty low effort.
Much like your efforts to combat genocide.
