The Guardian · US police union that backed Trump says January 6 pardons send ‘dangerous message’By Adam Gabbatt

@glynmoody police union that supported the face eating leopards' party wonders about that new policy that all police officers have to submit to a daily face chewing by one of the local leopards.

We are back to "Nobody could have known that he meant what he was saying" and "Everybody was surprised that many if not most of Hitler's ugly policies were preannounced in his bestseller Mein Kampf".

Seriously, what did you think the felonious psychopath would do when elected?

@glynmoody So you mean his promise to pardon the Jan6 criminals who killed police officers if memory serves, would happen in an alternative universe without police officers thus no harm done. While in this universe where there are LEOs, Trump wouldn't do that to them?

You know, there is that irritating thing about reality, at some point Schrödinger's cat is either alive, or dead.

Literally like a sudoku puzzle, at some point the options for a cell narrow down to one possibility.

@glynmoody
Yes, there is that little gem. He obviously promised many things that are contradictions to other things he promised.
(As some people have correctly pointed out, some chapters in project2025 read literally like an undergraduate summary of all options on a topic.)

But if he had promised things that are contrary to your interests, than you have to expect a certain probability that the stuff you don't like will happen.

@glynmoody
Yeah, I know. Everybody with basic statistics education can calculate the expected value of participating in a lottery, and yet there are enough idiots who pay the voluntary tax (read up on the history of lotteries they have been literally introduced to save bankrupt kingdoms' treasuries.)

@glynmoody
And let's be honest, while they only got him after his political career shone bright lights on his business practices, weirdo-in-chief is clearly a career criminal who has profited from the US two class justice that tends to treat rich people very lenient.

So surprise, that his sympathies are with the criminals in prison and not the families of dead police officers.
