Why on earth would he do this?
The time to have second thoughts about declaring martial law was before declaring martial law and trying to arrest the parliament. He’s now guaranteed a lengthy prison sentence instead of possibly winning, or at least coming close enough to demand concessions.

There was quite a bit of ‘4 am property damage’ attacks directed against Catholic Churches in the aftermath of dobbs as well, the stuff that could have been prosecuted as a hate crime if the perpetrators weren’t politically sympathetic. A very small number of far left activists attempted to interrupt masses and were physically prevented from doing so, which I suspect had a deterrent effect on confrontational behavior.

I dunno man, are there people here willing to argue that? Maybe a couple.
Yes.

He could simply be socially awkward+not trying very hard. This isn’t India where your extended family will just make you get married.

But Nick's "stock" isn't falling (if that's even true) because of purity spiraling, it's because some people who hate him are just lying about him being part of a scandal he has no relation to... that's not purity spiraling it's just a vendetta
I’m probably going to regret asking this, but how is he not part of the scandal? I thought the whole thing was he’s been caught on video having gay sex.

Uh, isn't the core of SK's low fertility based on competitive pressures to get one of the few socially respected jobs before shacking up? These aren't western trailer trash who will breed on the dole.

Sure, but they were already 4B, I don't think having no romantic relationships, sex, or babies is actually spreading.

Presumably, no one is going to make enough ado about it for him to be worth pardoning, because the Biden's are spent. It simply does not matter.

I mean, in large part that's because my tribe cares. We can overlook some spousal infidelity on the basis of 'politicians aren't often good people', but homosexuality is a bridge too far.
I posit that there are things liberals/progressives could be caught doing which would impede their credibility for moral reasons. Everyone has ritual purity standards. I don't know what would be a serious violation of them in a progressive- trying to pray away the gay? Marrying a teenager? But I am confident that they exist.
Now I've never been a Nick Fuentes fan. But among IRL people with actually far-right beliefs, being gay is disqualifying from having an opinion.

When was this agreement ever a thing?

People that supported Bush Jr generally thought he was a moral exemplar as a person and not just a good leader. In fact there are still a lot of people who think he was and remains a moral exemplar as a person, certainly more than believe he was a good leader.

Nobody really cares- the FBI doesn’t go after random crackheads, democrats want to sweep the whole thing under the rug, republicans are more interested in grandstanding on the pardon than in ensuring justice is done.

To be blunt, by who’s doing the noncomplying. Rednecks- it was from Covid. Blacks- it was from BLM. Everyone else is just copying one of the two(or possibly both).

I mean, we have quorum busts and filibusters, ‘odd’ is in the eye of the beholder.

Where did I say it would be illegitimate for a Republican to do the same thing?

Isn't Tesla's registration moving to Texas for exactly that reason?

Uh, hate to break it to you, but no we won't. Maybe the bodies will teach us to trust public health again, but it'll be too late.

Is it a high percentage or is it the homophobic pastor effect- being gay is now news, not a simple fact or regrettable character flaw, depending on perspective.

Finally, Biden is a professed Catholic, and there's nothing in Catholic morality that upholds loyalty to flesh as virtuous (quite the opposite, tfh).
Aside from the fourth commandment, the traditional understanding of which has been to consider loyalty to relatives morally obligatory.

How was it a defect button? The president has the power to pardon crimes. This is a known power.

I said last year that if Hunter had any decency, he would go to his father and beg to be put in prison.
I mean, it's Hunter Biden.
If the intent was always to pardon Hunter, why not let him get convicted and spend a nominal amount of time behind bars? That sacrificial lamb would have been massively politically advantageous.
Biden doesn't have time to make this happen, and even if he did, he'd have no reason to care. He lost, he feels betrayed by the current DNC leadership, and he's a few short years away from dying in a nursing home surrounded by people he thinks are someone else.

In the meantime, republicans win senate races in New Mexico and Virginia, making the left decidedly unhappy, and the new party may call itself socialist but in practice moderates into centrist machine politics faster than a barefoot jackrabbit on the blacktop in july.

Aside from which, the idea that an elderly dementia patient poses a threat to anybody is farcical.
You are aware that productive labor depends on people physically doing things? Fancy computer programs cannot do this.
