The rest of us have classified djt as a pre- and current criminal.

What even is "Political Pre-Crime"??

[–] ZoteTheMighty@lemmy.zip 5 points 7 hours ago

Pretty sure the term was invented in Minority Report as a legal gray area where it's in many way immoral to prevent crime by arresting people before they commit anything. It's literally a real life example of the Torment Nexus meme.

I think I read about it in a book once, where it was called "wrongthink".

[–] Frozengyro@lemmy.world 19 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

This is starting to sound double plus un good.

[–] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 5 points 11 hours ago

See that's not how you spell it in "wrongthink"

It's ++nogood

Because no is really un, they are pronounced identically and you didn't know that because you aren't as cool as Prez

I hope he dies publicly and his diaper overfills and explodes onto nearby Republicans.

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 44 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

My friend and I have been saying for years that we don't wish death upon him, we wish utter humiliation. We want him to trip and shit himself while he's walking on stage in full view of the cameras and audience.

On his death bed, he will believe he's dying with dignity. But if he rips his Depends on stage, he's gonna lose his mind.

[–] Mynameisallen@lemmy.zip 12 points 13 hours ago

I want him to die humiliated and in a gallow

[–] ZephyrXero@lemmy.world 18 points 15 hours ago

Oh god, if he somehow lost his voice and use of his hands, but was otherwise conscious that would be ideal. Suffering in silence like he caused for so many

[–] ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 8 points 12 hours ago

In all likelihood they'd promptly revere their spattered articles of clothing as holy relics.

[–] WoodScientist@lemmy.world 18 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

Can we go for the good old fashioned lightning strike option? Nothing quite like an evil man being killed in a way indistinguishable from being smote by the wrath of an angry god.

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 15 points 15 hours ago

Far quicker than he deserves, but you are right about the flashiness of it

[–] DrFistington@lemmy.world 6 points 13 hours ago

Nah, falling down stairs town screaming and crying like a bitch would be funnier

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 7 points 17 hours ago

That is not dead which can eternal lie

And with strange aeons even death may die

[–] Wilco@lemmy.zip 5 points 10 hours ago

"Pre-Crime"? This dumb mother fucker has watched Minority Report too many times. Try arresting someone for a future crime, the arrest is illegal and can legally be fought with force ... this means no resist charges and the like. IMO, no real police officer would try it ... that leaves "ice" to get smashed up.

[–] RickyRigatoni@retrolemmy.com 38 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

He looks like he aged another 10 years since he got elected. Being a hateful shit does that.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 19 points 14 hours ago

Every president has aged prematurely. I guess being incredibly lazy doesn't change that.

[–] Marshezezz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 55 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Tax strike and contribute to the economy as little as you possibly can. Fuck this ghoul and fuck every piece of shit that voted for him.

[–] cmbabul@slrpnk.net 9 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

Serious question, best way to stop paying income taxes?

[–] Marshezezz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 17 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

This has a wealth of information in actual feasible ideas of what you can do to implement https://sniggle.net/TPL/TaxStrikeTactics/introduction/introduction/

[–] 3abas@lemmy.world 4 points 8 hours ago

Basically, the government has created a system of automated tax payments and harsh punishments for not paying, and the only way to successfully withhold your taxes is to do it in an organized fashion with a big enough support group that can cover you when the feds come knocking.

[–] Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 6 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

File a new W4 with your employer. From the instructions:

Complete Form W-4 so that your employer can withhold the correct federal income tax from your pay. If too little is withheld, you will generally owe tax when you file your tax return and may owe a penalty. If too much is withheld, you will generally be due a refund.

If you feel the correct withholding is "$0.00", W4 is how you tell your employer to not withhold anything for taxes.

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 8 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

You can only do that if you had no tax liability the previous year. If you try, your employer will likely kick it back for you to fix, or the IRS will send them a letter telling them to fix it.

[–] Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 2 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Plenty of reasons why you'd have no tax liability in a particular year.

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 2 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Yes, but you have to have had none the previous year to claim the tax exempt status that lets you avoid any withholding.

[–] Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 3 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Horseshit.

If I'm not going to have a tax liability this year, I don't have to allow withholding this year. Last year's tax liability is irrelevant to the issue. There is nothing in the tax code that requires me to loan money to the IRS that I know they will just have to return to me later.

The reason not to do this is the additional penalty they will assess if my tax liability this year isn't actually zero.

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 1 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago) (1 children)

An employee can also use Form W-4 to tell you not to withhold any federal income tax. To qualify for this exempt status, the employee must have had no tax liability for the previous year and must expect to have no tax liability for the current year.

I'm not sure why you thought I was making this up.

[–] Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 1 points 7 hours ago

Why do you think I need "exempt status" to achieve zero withholding in a particular year?

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 3 points 15 hours ago

Not sure you can put 0, but you can stack all the exemptions you please.

[–] theuniqueone@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 11 hours ago

Always has unofficially been just saying the quiet part out loud,

[–] surph_ninja@lemmy.world 13 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

If y’all think the Democrats will reverse this, remember that they classified anti-capitalism as extremism under Biden.

[–] edible_funk@lemmy.world 10 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Know where I can find out more about that?

[–] surph_ninja@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

It was part of his plan to address “domestic terrorism.” Also don’t forget, Kathy Hochul preceded Trump in sending in the national guard to “fight crime” despite every statistic showing a drop in violent crime.

We are not only at war with Trump and the GOP, but the entire political class.

Neither of those articles mention anti-capitalism.

[–] 3abas@lemmy.world 4 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

Try to do more than just cntrl+F.

As defined by the FBI and DHS, anarchist violent extremism encompasses the potentially unlawful use or threat of force or violence in furtherance of an anti-government or anti-authority violent extremist ideology that considers capitalism and centralized government to be unnecessary and oppressive.

Work backwards from that: if you're a leftist who considers capitalism to be oppressive, and you "threaten" to use your force (applying pressure, withholding labor, explicitly not violence as implied by "force or violence) to challenge government authority, congratulations, you're an anarchist violent criminal!

[–] zeezee@slrpnk.net 3 points 8 hours ago

Not true?

Straight from the Politico article:

The document includes just one mention of “anarchist violent extremists” — the term the FBI uses when describing terror threats from people who view “capitalism and centralized government to be unnecessary and oppressive,” according to a May 2021 threat assessment.

But in congressional hearings, FBI Director Christopher Wray — who Biden chose to keep in place, restoring a tradition Trump broke — has extensively discussed the bureau’s work investigating people in that category.

“Antifa is a real thing,” Wray added at that hearing. “It’s not a group or an organization, it’s a movement or an ideology, maybe one way of thinking of it, and we have quite a number — and I’ve said this consistently since my first time appearing before this committee — we have any number of properly predicated investigations into what we would describe as violent anarchist extremists. Some of those individuals self-identify with antifa.”

Trump is pre, peri and post-criminal.

[–] MushuChupacabra@lemmy.world 20 points 17 hours ago

That means that he's libel whenever and wherever a capitalist can show that his policies harm profits.

You won't find me stepping foot in the US while it is ruled by stupidity.

Well the good news is that gitmo is not on us soil, it is in forcibly occupied territory!

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 7 points 14 hours ago

You're gonna have to be more specific, this covers our whole history.
