These schmucks keep repeating "RICO" like it's some dumbass SovCit incantation or something.
- That's because they're trying to normalize what Trump is being charged with in Georgia
  
  This is always what they do with everything.
  
  Ever wonder why "BoTh SiDeS" arguments are so prevalent? It's because they work tirelessly to take any argument one might have about the right and pin it on someone from the left too.
  
  It's the projection you see constantly. It's their #1 go-to "trick." Level the playing field and now your supporters can stay with you because "the other guy is just as bad and I hate woke anyway so I'm sticking with (insert Hitlerwannabe here)"
- Wait wrong Rico...
- It's almost as if they've been coached. Say it ain't so.
Sir, for a dollar can you name a crime?

Name a crime?

Yes name a crime.

Any crime?

Name a crime

Why is this so hard?

Fucking yoga bag, name a crime

I'm sorry!

Name a crime

Name a crime?

NAME A CRIME!
News outlets, I implore you, please start writing articles and stop just posting videos.
- But if they just keep posting trending videos they can fire more journalists. Writing more articles means they'd have to hire them and they are expensive.
Is Tony Bobulinski related to Dennis Denuto?

“It’s RICO, it’s corruption, it’s the vibe”
- Ah, the serenity
This is the conversation everyone should have with police when they demand ID.
- That may get you shot.
  
  Instead, read and react based on this article https://www.rocketlawyer.com/family-and-personal/general-legal-matters/legal-guide/police-stops-know-your-rights-when-pulled-over-or-questioned#:~:text=After you speak with the,is a crime in itself.
  
  It's consistent with what I've seen other lawyers say and remember when the police are near it's always Shut The Fuck Up Friday.
  
  If you're pulled over they can make up a crime, the laws around driving and vehicles are almost endless. Give them your ID. But if you're just on the sidewalk or something, start recording and ask them what crime you're suspected of. "Suspicious" or "I got a call" is not a crime.
  
  You have an inalienable right to stfu. Use it.
- Am I being detained? Goodbye.
  
  That's the extent of the conversation you should have with cops
  
  Here in CO you can be legally detained for 24 hours for no reason last time I checked. While you have every right to refuse ID when it's within your right, I'm much more likely to just hand it over rather than risk being detained overnight. Which sucks.
