    On one hand she doesn’t deserve this. On the other hand it’s kind of nice to see a judge get to experience the absolute bullshit of the legal system and police overreach firsthand.

    If the most you can muster to defend a judge who didn’t want to act as a deputized federal agent for ICE is, “The way the FBI went about this was unprofessional.” Then perhaps you shouldn’t be interviewed on matters of fascism.

    “First and foremost, I know – as a former federal prosecutor and as a defense lawyer for decades – that a person who is a judge, who has a residence who has no problem being found, should not be arrested, if you will, like some common criminal,” Gimbel said. “And I’m shocked and surprised that the US Attorney’s office or the FBI would not have invited her to show up and accept process if they’re going to charge her with a crime.”

    The cruelty is the point

      When people are loosing their basic civil rights, I’m not going to guzzle tears because some judicial pig didn’t get the special treatment she was owed according to her station.

            This waste of space owes existence itself an apology.

            So you have one-line answers to all political discussions on Lemmy with your one-month fresh account. I see you are a video gamer, do you think Lemmy is a screen game of reaction-commenting to important issues, detached from reality of how the psychologists and psychiatrists of Cambridge Analytica have worked with Russia to create alternate-reality out of USA society?

            Have you noticed how people in USA are behaving in 2025, talking about invading Greenland and forcing Canada to be the 51st state… or are you back to your video games for distraction? Have you ever studied how people can become detached from reality and dehumanizing with social computer systems, outright anti-humanism behaviors?

             

            ::: _____________
            “At the NATO summit in Wales last week, General Philip Breedlove, the military alliance’s top commander, made a bold declaration. Russia, he said, is waging “the most amazing information warfare blitzkrieg we have ever seen in the history of information warfare.” It was something of an underestimation. The new Russia doesn’t just deal in the petty disinformation, forgeries, lies, leaks, and cyber-sabotage usually associated with information warfare. It reinvents reality, creating mass hallucinations”

                Fuck off back to Russia you divisive troll

                I’m not Russian. My name is Stephen Gutknecht, I was born in Columbus Georgia. I grew up in Fort Wayne, Indiana. I’ve been to Milwaukee, the topic of this Lemmy posting. I speak critically of Russia, but you seem to have a style of Lemmy communication I can describe: Your messages here on Lemmy are reactionary, Twitter-length hate-filled “fuck off” messages to Americans, that’s what you do here to Americans who call-out Putin’s information war on social media systems.

                 

                you divisive troll

                Your Lemmy account is only 2 months old, you show up on days-old post that mention Russia and you start attacking the Americans who are criticizing Russia. Are you describing your own Lemmy messages, psychologically projecting that you are copying “Internet Research Agency” patterns of messages in April 2025 on Lemmy?

                 

                Russia-watcher Catherine Fitzpatrick, who documents Kremlin disinformation for InterpreterMag .com, says just as Moscow uses vague Internet laws to encourage self-censorship, trolls inhibit informed debate by using crude dialogue to change “the climate of discussion.” “If you show up at The Washington Post or New Republic sites, where there’s an article that’s critical of Russia, and you see that there are 200 comments that sound like they were written by 12-year-olds, then you just don’t bother to comment,” she says. “You don’t participate. It’s a way of just driving discussion away completely,” she adds. “Those kinds of tactics are meant to stop democratic debate, and they work.”

      They want to make an example of her to show how far they will go to get others to fall in line.
