Luigi did nothing wrong. He didn't kill that guy either.

Holy shit can you guys imagine if the jury rules “not guilty, because you got the wrong fucking guy”? Luigi could probably run in 2028 and win.

[–] itsgroundhogdayagain@lemmy.ml 87 points 1 week ago (1 children)

He'd never defeat the Democrats' list of very strong candidates.

Am I dumb or is AOC not an option

[–] suite403@lemmy.world 44 points 1 week ago (2 children)

She is 100% an option, but not for the current Democrat party. They will push her our like they did Sanders.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 29 points 1 week ago (1 children)

They'd vote Trump before voting for AOC. At least that's my take from abroad.

[–] MrPoopbutt@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago

And mine from not abroad.

The Dems are controlled opposition who are funded by the billionaires just like the Rs.

[–] I_Has_A_Hat@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago (7 children)

Democratic party needs to split up. Bernie has been calling on more senators and congressmen to go independent, but none have jumped off the rotten DNC ship.

[–] suite403@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Can't make millions if you jump ship!

Lmao this guy thinks there will still be elections

[–] oatscoop@midwest.social 10 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

There will still be elections -- they just won't be fair and legitimate elections.

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 5 points 6 days ago

50 States all went to the GOP... crazy how that happens now that Elon Musk counts the vote

[–] LodeMike@lemmy.today 57 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Not 35 years of age or older enough

[–] knightly@pawb.social 111 points 1 week ago (2 children)

The law clearly doesn't matter anymore.

[–] LodeMike@lemmy.today 67 points 1 week ago (2 children)

It does for the right/"wrong" people.

[–] SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world 22 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Only as long as those people keep pretending.

In reality everyone knows we can just do whatever.

So executing the rich and forcefully redistributing their wealth is a valid public policy now

If orangeboi runs, Luigi should run.

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

More like repeat the same action that happened to the CEO of United Healthcare.

[–] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 25 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Can you imagine?

Orangeboi:

word salad

And if he were to run for a house seat, and we get 2/3 of congress to vote for a package to do this, we could make him president by impeaching and removing POTUS, VP, and have him be speaker of the house and succeed into the presidency for a special term.

Wishful thinking but it would technically be constitutional. I've tossed this idea and many others in my head about how to get massive support across the country to accomplish something crazy bold like this but I could go on and on and there's lots of what ifs

It's a threat to the poors. You hurt the rich, you'll be treated the same.

[–] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 64 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Sounds like they are saying we have nothing to lose.

I don't see a threat. I see permission.

It feels like they should be doing everything to avoid a mistrial.

Maybe less embarrassing than a not guilty verdict?

[–] sunbytes@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

Depends if someone has had a firm word with the judge about what is going to happen.

[–] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 27 points 1 week ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

I have a feeling for a while that Luigi is absolutely innocent... and you know what? If, and hopefully when, he is acquitted (no need for jury nullification, I am convinced that he really didn't do it), that would mean the real shooter got away with it.

And that is kinda nice to hear that you can off a powerful shitbag individual and escape in the 21st century. Assassinations of major figures by people who escape are so rare I can count them on one hand. One of them was literally the first ever murder by firearm in London. A16th century assassination of a nobleman who remains undiscovered.

[–] LustyArgonianMana@lemmy.world 14 points 6 days ago

I think the real Luigi likely trainhopped or otherwise entered the homeless underground, which would make him pretty untraceable. Many homeless are absolute masters on how to disappear/travel cross country for free.

[–] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 25 points 1 week ago

Wow is this the best feds and NY state got here

🤡

[–] CalipherJones@lemmy.world 22 points 1 week ago (5 children)

Did anyone else notice on Reddit that whenever Luigi was mentioned there were a bunch of the same comments saying "this is old news if there were any updates we'd know about it". Meanwhile Luigi was getting censored super heavily. Starting to think those were all bots.

[–] LustyArgonianMana@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago

The bots are massive, it probably was a mix of bots and people who parrot bots thinking they are with the group

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Reddit is an absolute hive of bot accounts and influencer accounts.

[–] Vex_Detrause@lemmy.ca 10 points 6 days ago

This is old news if there were any updates we'd know about it.
