Eric Adams corruption case is dismissed, not because there wasn’t evidence, but because Trump needs to keep him in office to further his deportation program. Seriously. That was their argument… And the court bought it. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news... - ThreadSky

Seriously. That was their argument… And the court bought it.

Simply speechless.

Just a reminder that while we were setting guinness world records for speeches, they were doing this shit.

So like, maybe we actually wake up and realize what we are fighting is FASCISM. It's not just an asshole with a vendetta. They are FASCISTS. Act accordingly please.

If you’re dead set in thinking that the people do not need to be rallied, that speeches are unimportant, and that nothing we do matters unless it’s done the way you approve, then I’m not gonna argue with you. My energy is better spent elsewhere.

This is definitively not a good way to fight fascism. They did this in Germany just as well before the holocaust. Feel free to go ahead and look it up. Having a singular target for them to demolish is exactly what they would love to have. It's appalling how many people don't know history.

Telling me to “look up the holocaust“ gave me a good sardonic laugh. Have a good day.

And with that he levels up from a mute to a block for me.

The judge really didn't have any way to force an unwilling DOJ to prosecute. But the Trumpsters wanted the case dismissed without prejudice, evidently to retain the threat of re-filing the charges against Adams later. The judge did not give them that -- charges are dismissed with prejudice.

Valid point.
