Sad to say, the financial consequences will mostly fall on their insurance company. Actually, not sad, because they will just raise rates on Kering and everyone else. Insurance is the only thing that Muslims and I agree on: it's gambling. And you are betting that Bad Things will happen to you, and the insurance companies are betting they won't. Hmmm................I much prefer the horses.
protesting”— gets me every time. We have a 19 yr old friend STILL in jail from J6. His crime? Walking into the capitol, after having a door opened to him— BY A SECURITY GUARD.
The FBI descended on his home weeks later, lining his entire street with Black SUVS, helicopters and drones overhead.
His parents are hundreds of thousands of dollars in the red from court and lawyer fees. He is following all the rules, jumping through all the
hoops, helping teach fellow inmates carpentry and skills he knows, has apologized, done all the things…
He simply wanted to be there with his parents when Trump spoke, whether he won or lost, and got caught up in the throng of people heading to the capitol, became
separated from his parents. He harmed no one and broke nothing.
In contrast, the “mostly peaceful protests” ruined business, broke windows, burned down homes, stores and cars, blinded a police officer with a frozen water bottle, harmed many other cops, cost cites millions of not
billions in overtime and damages, and shut down Mom & Pop stores that never hurt any of the people involved. This evil behavior was called GOOD. Pelosi herself said she had no
idea why more of it wasn’t happening, questioning when more of it may be on the horizon.
I cry every time I hear about folks like your friend’s son. It’s a travesty. My only hope is that someday he will see justice. Or God will give him a front seat in heaven. It’s heartbreaking.
If Trump does win in November and does not issue a blanket pardon on day one to all of the J6 political prisoners I will lose all respect for him. Julian Assange and Edward Snowden as well. He should have pardoned them on his way out the door last time.
I've been reading Plutarch's "Lives" and it seems it was a common strategy even in ancient Greece for members of the elite who felt excluded by the rest of the elite to cultivate good relations with the plebeians as a power base.
God is def giving him a front seat in heaven, AND he is using this kid mightily to bring other prisoners to God, which is a huge price to pay but an awesome thing to see.
As aad & angry as it makes me that this travesty of justice can happen in America, I know God is using him for such a time as this— just like he did John and Joseph and all the others. I also know the powers that be who caused this will pay dearly after all is said and done.
That is amazing that your friend is doing so much good, even from jail. It is amazing to hear about a young person who has his act together like he does, against all the odds.
Thank you for sharing that story. And please tell your friend he is reaching and inspiring people even outside the physical prison he is in.
Thank you for saying so. I’ll will send this kind comment to his mom. Pls pray for him as he continues to serve his (unlawful) sentence to the highest standard he is able. His name is Bruno.
It is uncanny that you posted this reply. After I wrote my comment, I thought, I should have asked KC for this young man's Christian name so I can pray for him. And before I even had a chance to get back to my keyboard, there was my answer. Thank you.
I am in California, and I wrote to officials complaining about the disparate treatment. And I reminded them that they do not own their offices. It is taxpayer property. This is in stark contrast to the small businesses forcibly shut down by officials only to have their businesses ransacked during the riots -with no protection. A SoCal man, previously very liberal but now bewildered, noted that the one business in his area that didn't get hit was a Russian owner who brandished a very large weapon to keep people at bay. During the 92 riots, Korean men, who had come of age during the violent/bloody Korean War, monitored their property with weapons. It was unsettling to be sure and back then I stupidly thought it was wrong. On a recent podcast, a Korean restaurant owner - very woke - was coming to turn with how he was going to stay afloat when customers think nothing of walking out without paying.
The crazy thing is, people think crime was high when there were rules enforced and police and even citizens with guns. How can they possibly think crime will be better without such things?
The best defense is a good offense.
The faster we become like the CCP, and the faster we give
up our arms, our police forces, the faster we allow 7 million people, mostly
men of fighting age, the sooner we become the downtrodden in harms way.
I was listening to a discussion of Dostoevsky's work. I, embarrassedly, never read him. The narrator said he predicted the hell that would overtake Russia.
It's amazing that Dostoevsky made that prediction - he died in 1881, and the Bolshevik Revolution (at least the one that was "successful") didn't take place until 1917.
And it certainly did unleash hell in Russia when the Bolsheviks declared the Red Terror. I used to think that was a euphemism, but it was *literally* official state policy. The Bolsheviks came up with the term themselves!
I always thought it was a good or non-consequential thing that the Russian elite attended universities and salons in Germany and France during the 18th century. I learned otherwise. While I hate YT's censoring, there are still a lot of great things on it.
from Reclaim the Net on GAVI's intent to criminalize memes
One of those involved, the GAVI Vaccine Alliance (that gets money from Gates) now wants to reframe memes - internet's succinct expression of humor and satire - as "health disinformation super-spreaders."
And we've heard this one before - this genre, that, in the digital age, might as well be considered as any other artistic format in previous times, is said to be capable of evading "fact checkers and content moderators" (i.e., censors).
In previous eras and authoritarian states, that would get the books with imagery and words characteristic of memes banned or burned.
So what could be the solution in the current era? And what does the big picture amount to?
Well, it's just Bill Gates going after a free and open internet again, only by other means - cynics might say.
But here's what a blog post on GAVI's site says: "Our research shows that memes form part of a highly sophisticated strategy to spread and monetize health disinformation."
(Not throwing the "monetize slur" in there - in the context of "the Gates!" /s)
When the "research" is done - (including assertions such as that memes falsely "depicted unvaccinated people as unfairly stigmatized" - well tell that to tennis superstar Novak Djokovic who almost got his career ruined by actual unfair stigmatization) - come the conclusions:
"Influencers promoting vaccine hesitancy use memes to build their online following, sow distrust of health authorities and profit from the promotion of unapproved medicines. This enables them to evade responsibility for any negative consequences of their messaging."
There's a "call to action" too, basically - to formally criminalize memes.
Says GAVI: "Memes may not look threatening - but that's why they are such effective super spreaders of health disinformation."
So then, what is GAVI, in its own words?
"As a founding partner of GAVI, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has brought international attention to the cause of immunization and has made several commitments to GAVI, totaling US$ 4.1 billion to date."
I’ve always wondered how it would feel to live in the CCP or other countries who squelch free speech. Thanks to Billy (from the) Gates (of hell), we have all found out.
Billy gives various people/organizations big truckloads of money, and they do whatever comes to his power hungry, narcissistic mind.
THIS is a huge part of the reason we are where we are today.
If police are being defunded I’d like to know why the biggest slice from civic budgets is police. Maybe “defanged” or “demoralized” would be a better term. We need EFFECTIVE policing, and crime solvers, not a bunch of militarized ninja-turtles trained on urban warfare with itchy trigger fingers who approach all citizens as potentially hostile civilians. That doesn’t feel safe to “innocent bystanders.” Most people WANT to do a good job, and our ridiculously incompetent leaders are obstructing not helping. More money won’t fix this.
But....that was supposed to just be virtue signaling! There were never supposed to be any CONSEQUENCES!
CONSEQUENCES! are for 'enemies of the state' (anybody we don't like).
'For my friends, everything; for my enemies, the law'
Is that “The Law”, like “The Science”???
Exactly the same.
I couldn’t have come up with a better response
Niiiice
If Fauci is "The Science©"; who is "The Law©"?
Well, it sure ain’t Fani Willis!
Or Leticia James… 🔥
In his own perverse mind, Attorney General Merrick Garland appears to believe HE is "The Law."
Yup:

And you hope they win.
Are you saying I have to actually bear the costs of my actions??? How dare you!
I'm quite sexist/racist/etc
Whew...that channeled a freaky little Swedish girl...now Gollumette is stuck in my head.
Sounds racist!
Even if there are no consequences for them, their actions have consequences FOR US.
Oh, well those consequences are of no consequence.
Shalom to the thieves both in the store and outside!

Being left wing means never expecting consequences. In that world, cause and effect divorced years ago. It was a messy breakup.

Or you can recognize that Trump is just not that different than the rest. At least in some ways

This is what a regime looks like. Get used to it, these are the easy times.
😢🙏🏽
Thank you. Pls
continue to pray for him. His name is Bruno.
Prayers for Bruno, his family and all of the other political prisoners wrongly imprisoned…
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
When the jokes write themselves, don't interrupt! #KarmaGoesHard
Karma is nothing more than the universe righting itself. And is sometimes delicious.
Like a mille-feuille prepared by a master chef washed down with the most wonderful champagne.
50k, so like a couple of jackets or something?
This is also not true though. Gucci worth $50k maybe in the shop. Stolen? Like any other clothes $10-20 max...
its kinda my point, value is what idiots will pay for things.
none of it was worth shit to me
You're a kitten. Everything looks good on you!
Self owns are the BEST!!!
I'm straight I swear but I really love that gal Karma. Makes me all tingly.
Lol 😝
They need to defund the legislators in that state.
How about the entire freakin government?! 🔥🔥🔥 I would ABSOLUTELY LOVE to defund them… 🤡🤡🤡
It would have been much worse if they weren't vaccinated.
Or if they were Putin lovers or climate deniers.

and meme-ing
I wish him all the best of Hell. He deserves it.
I can’t stop laughing……. (Karma. It’s only a bitch if you are…)
Using that one!
The fact that leftists consistently misuse the word irony -- as in the popular song -- is more than just an amusing speech impediment.
They literally do not understand the concept of irony.
They don't understand how good intentions could ever lead to opposite outcomes.
This is a fundamental reason why the left cannot meme.
Yes, and the humor of memes comes from the illustration of a fact which is politically incorrect, but which you know know to be a fact anyway.
Humor requires some tension, and the tension of memes is in knowing you not "supposed to" laugh at something, but laughing anyway.
Lies are not funny, and this the main reason the left cannot meme.
If police are being defunded I’d like to know why the biggest slice from civic budgets is police. Maybe “defanged” or “demoralized” would be a better term.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!
Did someone miss the correct 'pay-to-play' payment?
That's pretty sweet store you got there, it be a shame if someone were to rob it, know what I mean?
Who needs police when you got connections ;-)
Hilarious!
