Nails Nathan: I’ll repeat, no one produces rhetoric this charged when Black elected officials are sentenced. No one pledged to punish the enemies of Kwame Kilpatrick or anything,

That’s . . . a lot of metaphors.

The idea that anyone with a popular base of support must therefore be exempt from any form of accountability is some shit they made up for Trump and people like Trump.

“People like Trump” is what his voters think they are, even after tons of them were arrested for Jan 6.

By this standard I guess they shoulda just let Hitler* cook? *I guess the issue with the Bierhall Putsch was that they weren't too lenient but too hard on him by this standard.

It worked for Sarah Sanders with her improper lectern purchase

The Barabbas Defense.

Also for Bush.

It $eems to have been kind of $tandard i$$ue for awhile now.

In Italia Berlusconi lo pensava 30 anni fa.

Jesse Jackson Jr, bearer of his father's iconic name and 8-term Congressman, was in federal prison for 18 months plus years of supervised release and forms of restitution, under the despised administration of the Republican George W Bush. Somehow conspiracy theories were kept to a bare minimum.

Right? And Bannon's not an elected official, he's not an official anything. He's just a racist shit-stirrer.

Don't forget that he's also a literal traitor.

unfortunately, reconstruction failed because this country has historically never taken dealing with traitors seriously

Racist shit-stirrer and literal traitor? No wonder Taibbi likes Bannon so much

In Florida, Gillum was being investigated in a case that resulted in no guilty verdicts, but I haven't heard anyone lament how that might have affected the 2018 election

For those unfamiliar, it was an extremely tight and consequential election

bcz its been memory holed... bcz that case was brought by DeSsntis pals. the message was sent.

It's the opposite. The actual media glee when Mayor Barry was arrested.

I was thrilled when Rod Blagojevich went to prison and I voted for the guy in 2002.

Did Taibbi say a single god damned thing about the birthers or the FBI sting op on Gillum

Same with any of the many, many Illinois Democrats who have gone to prison over the years

Taibbi is a bald little prick.

The shit that comes down on any black person in elected office is unbelievable. So many district attorneys are being persecuted.

Way too many metaphors for an idiot who doesn't really understand what the heck he is saying.

What’s the world come to where a criminal has to go to prison after being convicted and sentenced to prison?

The Calvin and Hobbesian Jungle?

Wasn't Taibbi at one point an actual reasonable journalist? When did he let the far-right brain eater in to devour himself?
