"if we are not allowed to blatantly commit crimes then we'll try to kill all of you"

Gotta love a good Republican

"Because no one's above the law...except us."

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I'll love one if I ever meet one.

Glad they checked in with Nostradumbass

Dedication to a Trump-inspired civil war will only last as long as the batteries on their mobility scooters.

Damn that's good shit.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Or until they run out of S'mores Schnapps

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Hey guys! Let's all play a game of grab ass!!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Lmao I can only imagine a bunch of old boomers and fatass GenXers starting a civil war.

[–] [email protected] 80 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Cool. Do it or shut up. Y'all threaten a civil war every time the waiter forgets your ranch.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

What she really means is "there will some extra mass shootings on top of the mass shootings we were going to do anyway" but calling it a "civil war" instead gets proud Republicans throbbing.

Which is weird, since they're functionally identical to the people who lost the last one.

[–] [email protected] 60 points 1 year ago

Awww, look who's trying to be relevant again...

[–] [email protected] 56 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think even saying that is illegal.

But let me guess, the FBI isn't going to go question her about those comments.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Not illegal. Just evidence if she's found to have actually facilitated it in any way. Just how trump was free to lie about his loss all he wanted. But the moment he entered into conspiracies to actually violate the laws etc. It all became evidence.

[–] [email protected] 41 points 1 year ago

And she's an expert! After all, she can watch Russia's invasion of Ukraine from her front porch!

[–] [email protected] 40 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sarah Palin and her allies have been wanting a civil war all along. There won't be one, but her kind of language will give license for extremist militia groups to do acts of terrorist violence.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, the American version of the Taliban isn't far off now.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

Y'allqaeda is coming, and it's going to be horrible.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 1 year ago (1 children)

She’s still vying for the dumbest republican spot, sad

Over Donald Trump? These people know they worship Donald Trump?

If only this cult was more Jonestown and less Scientology.

Understood. This time we won't stop until we reach the coasts.

Conservatism is a plague in dire need of a cure.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I forgot this idiot existed. I hope I forget again soon.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

She was one of the OG example precursors to people rising the power like Marjorie Taylor green

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Wait, I thought she died fighting the moon Nazis? Was that a movie?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

Iron Sky is a premium documentary, not just some movie.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Wolfenstein II The New Collosus

Nazis on the moon? Fuck you, moon.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Because that went so well for them last time.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago

Sherman didn’t go far enough

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Which last time? The civil war last time or the insurrection last time?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago

Lol, this vapid cunt is irrelevant.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

If it does, it will be the largest Leopards Ate My Face moment in US history....

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago

Good to hear that absurdist comedian of Monty Python fame, Michael Palin, still is making solid jokes in his old age...

At least that's what I'll pretend to have read, in order to safe some sanity

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

i wish the only version of sarah palin was lisa ann

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago

Lock her up!

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Does that mean we’re finally getting the Obamacare death panels she promised?! Time to grow some mutton chops and rain hell on Dixie, those insurance premiums are going DOWN

Go on then, try it! Would absolutely love to see what happens when Ya'll Qaeda fucks around and finds out.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

Easy to say when you won't be the one fighting it.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

We need a community called "NeverHappened"

Good ole Sara Palin, the first MAGA...

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Palan finally gets called out on how stupid she is!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

It hasn’t reached me yet, is it only in AK right now?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Right, thats where the line has been drawn. Lets not overwhelm penal system with privileged white jackasses, lets keep it for underprivileged to prevent them from getting ahead.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

That is what Palin wants to happen.
