never forget, this guy had the full support of some rabid anti-Trumpers in this very thread ... apparently he is indeed "batting a thousand" ... a thousand assaults in prison that is :ROFL:

That is partially correct.

Woke people decide on what the injustice is, they identify the perpetrators, then decide on how they should be punished for an eternity.

If someone disagrees with the woke, especially those who use facts, then those persons would be labelled, racist nazi bigots, white supremacists and whatever the current slurs are from the far left deranged progessive cultists.

That is absolutely savage. :ROFL::ROFL:
If you want more court humor, you should see the excellent amicus briefs The Onion and Babylon Bee made on a free speech case involving making fun of cops:

(Case involved a cop wanting a publication to say that they are parody)
Tu stultus es. You are dumb. These three Latin words have been The Onion’s motto and guiding light since it was founded in 1988 as America’s Finest News Source, leading its writers toward the paper’s singular purpose of pointing out that its readers are deeply gullible people. The Onion’s motto is central to this brief for two important reasons. First, it’s Latin. And The Onion knows that the federal judiciary is staffed entirely by total Latin dorks: They quote Catullus in the original Latin in chambers. They sweetly whisper “stare decisis” into their spouses’ ears. They mutter “cui bono” under their breath while picking up after their neighbors’ 5 dogs. So The Onion knew that, unless it pointed to a suitably Latin rallying cry, its brief would be operating far outside the Court’s vernacular. The second reason—perhaps mildly more important—is that the phrase “you are dumb” captures the very heart of parody: tricking readers into believing that they’re seeing a serious rendering of some specific form—a pop song lyric, a newspaper article, a police beat—and then allowing them to laugh at their own gullibility when they realize that they’ve fallen victim to one of the oldest tricks in the history of rhetoric. See San Francisco Bay Guardian, Inc. v. Super. Ct., 21 Cal. Rptr. 2d 464, 466 (Ct. App. 1993) (“[T]he very nature of parody . . . is to catch the reader off guard at first glance, after which the ‘victim’ recognizes that the joke is on him to the extent that it caught him unaware.”).

Onion Brief against the respondents


The Babylon Bee is the world’s most popular news site, bringing deadly serious, 100% accurate stories to the public’s attention since 2016. The Bee has inspired many imitators such as The Borowitz Report, Mad Magazine, and a rival news organization that unfortunately filed in support of the petitioner in this case—The Onion—often described as a less popular, secular knock-off of The Babylon Bee. Since its inception six years ago, The Babylon Bee has been cited in congressional hearings, tweeted out by the once-and-future President of the United States, Donald Trump, and shared by millions of confused grandmothers on Facebook. The Bee receives tens of millions of visits every month, boasts millions of followers on popular social media sites like Facebook and Twitter—and also Truth Social—and has published over 10,000 articles containing a total of no fewer than two jokes. Yet The Babylon Bee has faced tremendous opposition in its brief life: The site’s account was unceremoniously banned from Twitter merely for honoring a public official with a prestigious award.

CNN’s Brian Stelter called it “fake news,”3 Snopes has fact-checked dozens of its articles4 and incorrectly and libelously labeled them “false,” and thousands of liberals have left mean comments on its Facebook page.5 Thus, The Babylon Bee knows what it’s like to have people be mean to you. It files this brief in support of the respondents in this case, as it is in the editorial staff’s direct interest to make sure that people cannot make satirical or sarcastic critiques of, publish parody pages about, or post mean Facebook comments concerning, The Babylon Bee. Because it really hurts their feelings

All you've done is give an example of how an imbecile thinks. Try again.

Yes, I was decribing how woke imbeciles think so that even a fckwit can get it.

But some fckwits aren't able to get it the first time, not sure how to deal with that level of fckwit.

Well, no. "Woke" is a slur the right uses to defang the left and vilify ideals like inclusiveness and diversity.

Georgia Senate run off today.

All indications point to Warnock cruising to victory here, despite Republicans easily winning all other statewide offices in the mid-terms...which points to the flawed Republican candidate.

One of the most flawed of all time. It scares me that a man like that can garner any support at all. Scary times.

Yeah "diversity" is only needed when something is too white according to the stupid woke

Hell they even have safe spaces for "poc" where no whites are allowed. Very inclusive and diverse of the woke left.
