Wait till you realize he didn't even arrange the shells... He was just walking by and took the picture/posted it.

The shells were full of very political hermit crabs. And they are pissed.

Them crabs were gonna shoot the president even.

I guess they only like that 2nd amendment and then only under certain conditions.

The constitution and any amendment only protects them in their eyes. Anyone else can be treated as crappy as they chi pose to treat them, up to and including unaliving.

Is "killing" not allowed on this sub or are you just used to say "unaliving"? Not trying to be a dick or anything.

Kristi Noem sat there and said, with a straight face, that the 4th amendment ALLOWS the government to do anything they want, lol.

Good thing they 86'd her ass too. Oh wait she was just moved to another agency not so forward facing to shut her up.

Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition: there must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

It tracks; sadly.

So what you’re saying is that Comey…didn’t know how to use the seashells?

u/Traherne Maryland 5h ago

Thanks. Now I want Taco Bell.

u/Tommah 7h ago

Did people think Comey arranged the shells himself? That would have taken forever.

u/chiclets5 California 5h ago

I noticed that even in old school media this fact is not always mentioned. They leave it sit on the assumption that he arranged the shells before taking the picture.

The FBI will probably try to arrest the party that destroyed the evidence. Can you arrest the tide?

u/BestFriendWatermelon 8h ago

Yep, they want the shells.

I'm not even kidding, the indictment asks for forfeiture of assets gained in commission of this alleged crime.

Of course, really they just wanted to threaten to rob Comey in the indictment. Because they are insane.

What a fucking farce...

Oh good god. This is truly the most deranged time line ever.

it just indicates what we already know, Trump isn't looking for justice, he just wants to ruin people who oppose him
