Daugherty added, “Now these thugs will learn no actual lesson and go out and do it again, potentially with a weapon, and their next victim may not survive like Big Balls did.”

He's right. Someone should do something about ICE gangs.

Daugherty added, “Now these thugs will learn no actual lesson and go out and do it again"

Huh. That's just what I said after Trump pardoned all the insurrectionists from Jan-6.

And a lot of them have turned out to be repeat offenders

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago

And how many straight up killed by police in subsequent encounters? I think it's 3 but I could be wrong.

[–] dan1101@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago

And hired them for ICE, CBP, and other positions.

Homie got beat up by two fifteen year olds and Trump is acting like the Bloods and Crops joined together to beat this dude up.

Also if I have to see the name Big Balls in the context of my government again I'm gonna lose my mind. Dude was a shitty hacker. He shouldn't be in government.

[–] skuzz@discuss.tchncs.de 59 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Dude was a shitty hacker

Vibe hacker. That whole crew of DOGE dipshits wouldn't know a command prompt if it dressed up like a couple of 15 year olds and beat them up.

The funny thing though is how he thinks he found a great user handle, but the story of him getting beaten up by two 15y/o's means he can't use it online unless he wants to be the laughing stalk of any community he joins.

[–] miseducator@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Bloods and crops, laughing stalk... Lots of flora talk in this thread. Are you guys government plants?

It’s amazing how they will take literally any opportunity to say “DEI”.

We should start talking like them just to piss them off. “Big Balls, NEPOTISM HIRE by ELON MUSK, let himself get beat up by CHILDREN! VERY SAD!”

[–] dan1101@lemmy.world 63 points 1 day ago (5 children)

DEI is their new n-word.

Also, the opposite of "diversity, equity, and inclusion" is "uniformity, inequity, and exclusion." Is that what they expect the melting pot of the USA to embrace?

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 27 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

" You start out in 1954 by saying, “N****r, n****r, n****r” By 1968 you can’t say “n****r”—that hurts you, backfires. So you say stuff like, uh, forced busing, states’ rights, and all that stuff, and you’re getting so abstract. Now, you’re talking about cutting taxes, and all these things you’re talking about are totally economic things and a byproduct of them is, blacks get hurt worse than whites.… “We want to cut this,” is much more abstract than even the busing thing, uh, and a hell of a lot more abstract than “n****r, n****r.”

-Lee Atwater, former RNC chairman-

melting pot

To them, it's not a melting pot. They see a caste-system of suckitude where every different group exists on the levels beneath wealthy white people. Every reaction, every lie, every diversion, it's all in service of that one design. The funny part is: the coded speech and dogwhistles mean that they don't exactly have enough social sway to be full-throated racists about it.

Also, the opposite of "diversity, equity, and inclusion" is "uniformity, inequity, and exclusion." Is that what they expect the melting pot of the USA to embrace?

Is it what they expect?

Well, I'm pretty sure not only expect, but reading "uniformity, inequity, and exclusion" is a configuration of syllables that can make every right-wing tradwife pregnant, and feels to their alpha male husbands like watching from the closet in their Batman mask.

[–] AbidanYre@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah, pretty much. There was a comic I saw someone post on Facebook of The Statue of Liberty helping build trump's wall. Like the morons had never read or heard of The New Colossus.

In other news, Trump reportedly asked his advisors today if he could do "the opposite of a pardon".

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 51 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Honestly not sure if this is satire.

[–] teawrecks@sopuli.xyz 39 points 1 day ago

Lol I was joking. He doesn't need to ask, he already has ICE for that.

Right-wing commentator Eric Daugherty expressed his disbelief at the decision and Briggs, who was appointed by former President Joe Biden.

“WTF: DEI Judge Kendra Briggs, appointed by Joe Biden, RELEASED the violent . . .

Why is the dailybeast article made up largely of racist “influencer” quotes? Dailybeast, stop doing it wrong.

[–] Vupware@lemmy.zip 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Daily beast is the liberal answer to Daily Mail, in my uninformed opinion.

[–] DougHolland@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

Your opinion is not uninformed on this. Same as the Daily Mail, everything's SHOCKING and overhyped at Daily Beast. Maybe Daily Beast is slightly more credible; there's usually a baseline truth somewhere under the shrieking headline.

Oh my I hadn't seen that photo of him after his alleged attack. That is so obviously fake.

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 day ago

Yeah, all it shows is that Big Balls is a soft boy. And he probably started it.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 26 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I hope his big balls get stomped again. And again. And again and again and again.

[–] 1995ToyotaCorolla@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

His balls are so big because they’re swollen from getting stomped all the time

Haha nice. Trump pardoned those that killed people on J6th. These are just kids and BigBalls is a piece of shit.

[–] frustrated_phagocytosis@fedia.io 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Trump was out on bail for his own criminal case with way more felonies. Would he prefer to still be in jail pending appeals?

Random "So I married an axe murderer" appears.

Holy shit that photo?! It’s so obvious that they smeared the blood from a broken nose all over his body lol.
