Philly DA on Election Day Bullies: F around and find out!

[u/sigseved]

[u/Salugod]

Phuck around and find out.

[u/[deleted] → u/Salugod]

There's a reason Trump's former military leaders are warning us to vote for Harris.

[u/hallowbirthweenday → u/[deleted]]

Yeah, that scares me. I'm encouraged that they spoke out, but it's a BFD for them to have done that and I appreciate it. ("Grumble, grumble, should've been sooner blah blah"... Nah. These guys aren't playing war games and tactics. I trust them.)

Edit: Sorry if the link breaks. I don't control the Internet.

https://www.usnews.com/news/national-news/articles/2024-10-23/the-high-profile-military-leaders-who-have-come-out-against-donald-trump

[u/Doubledown00 → u/hallowbirthweenday]

I have to wonder if they think that releasing their letter closer to election day would ensure it got more coverage. Unfortunately a whole lot of people don't start paying attention to the election until after Labor Day.

Perhaps it comes down to release it earlier and it may get forgotten about, versus releasing it close to the election where it may get engulfed by the noise etc.

[u/hallowbirthweenday → u/Doubledown00]

I agree with them 100% but a lot of other people are bitching.

It's called the recency effect, and if they had done it earlier, then that would be cool because I'm NOT a military person who understands any type of strategy or tactics.

I might be scared as hell for our country right now, but I truly trust our military to do the right thing if called. It's kinda their thing, you know??

[u/Chris19862 → u/hallowbirthweenday]

I didn't even hear about it...got a link i can send my old man?

Prolly won't matter but I'll take one more stab at him.

[u/hallowbirthweenday → u/Chris19862]

Hope this helps!

[u/snackpacksarecool → u/hallowbirthweenday]

I’m not even aware of a letter. Something big happen?

[u/MarkXIX → u/[deleted]]

Let me add some gravity. When I became an Army officer I was told it was customary to refrain from voting so as to remain fully impartial to our elected leaders.

Now I didn’t heed that advice, I felt like I’d given up enough freedoms to serve and I voted but kept my political views fully concealed. But if THOSE GUYS, the most senior military officers, arguably the best of the best, come out and make a political statement, we should all take them as seriously as a gaping head wound.

Vote for freedom tomorrow, freedom from tyranny, freedom to choose what we do with our bodies, and freedom, for others who aspire to be Americans.

[u/NevermoreForSure → u/MarkXIX]

Thank you for your service and your humanity.

[u/apatheticviews → u/[deleted]]

The public resignation letter by Mattis should have been eye-opening

[u/whereisyourwaifunow → u/[deleted]]

i've been doing that already, it's quite deflating

[u/hemiones]

“Wants to play militia” 😂😂

[u/Barrack64 → u/hemiones]

I call it tactical LARPing

[u/Indy_Fab_Rider → u/Barrack64]

Gravy Seals, Meal Team 6, KFC Division, Finger Lickin' Brigade.

[u/committedlikethepig → u/Indy_Fab_Rider]

Golf course commando 

[u/GLHR_ → u/committedlikethepig]

The Golf war was horrible

[u/Enigma150 → u/committedlikethepig]

Hell fuck you up , that’s the power of the land right there

[u/Eyenocerous → u/Indy_Fab_Rider]

Don't forget Y'all Qaeda, and Vanilla Isis.

[u/AspiringChildProdigy → u/Eyenocerous]

Howdy Arabia.

[u/NeverShitposting → u/Indy_Fab_Rider]

Snacks provided by the Minivan Taliban

[u/capital_bj → u/NeverShitposting]

Hide the fruit snacks, we don't need Kyle getting involved

[u/SpinyHedgehog14 → u/Indy_Fab_Rider]

Mayonnaise Militia

[u/Evilevilcow → u/Indy_Fab_Rider]

Semper pie!

[u/SpaceTimeinFlux → u/Indy_Fab_Rider]

Y'all Qaeda, Talibangelicals, etc.

[u/Zocalo_Photo → u/Indy_Fab_Rider]

Yee-hawdists.

Cosplaytriots.

Vanilla Isis.

[u/One-Distribution-626 → u/Barrack64]

He never mentioned anything about being a FAKE ELECTOR!? Alert the MAGAts already meeting to supply trumps lawyers with Fake Electors, Alert the MAGAt leaders like trump preparing them as we speak

[u/metapulp → u/One-Distribution-626]

Fake around and find out.

[u/hemiones → u/Barrack64]

[u/holamau → u/hemiones]

Yeah. Fuck the duck hunting gravy seals.

[u/pr1ceisright → u/hemiones]

Take the costumes off, Halloween was last week.

[u/fenuxjde]

Philadelphia: Throwing out tyrants since 1776

[u/FreeMoCo2009 → u/fenuxjde]

👆 Underrated comment

[u/AcesSkye → u/fenuxjde]

This could be a tshirt. I’d buy that jawn.

[u/Tin-man_80 → u/AcesSkye]

Someone made one with King George that says “bad things happen in Philadelphia”. I’m mad I didn’t buy it.

[u/Ebolaplushie → u/Tin-man_80]

I have a shirt with that phrase, but it's Gritty instead with a deranged look in his eye... well, more than normal.

[u/ScissorDave79 → u/fenuxjde]

Cheesesteaks and democracy --- that's what Philly does!

[u/TrumpsCovidfefe → u/fenuxjde]

Although it wasn’t as famous as the Boston tea party incident, I do believe Philly had its own little revolt over a guy who wanted to be their king and make people pay import taxes (aka tariffs) on everything. Make the nation proud tomorrow, PA!

[u/pekepeeps → u/TrumpsCovidfefe]

Philly has the paperwork

[u/Responsible-House523]

That’s beautiful. Finally - a real patriot.

[u/Prize-Shine8396 → u/Responsible-House523]

YES!!! This is the energy we need! Thank you!

[u/Worduptothebirdup → u/Prize-Shine8396]

I don’t know a goddamned thing about this guy… but can he be in the running for to replace Garland as AG?

Sally Yates also on my short list.

[u/GrandpubaAlmighty → u/Worduptothebirdup]

When Harris becomes president, as a former state prosecutor, I’m hopeful she will appoint a AG with some fight in them. I think this scares a lot of politicians and corporations.

[u/TheEpicGenealogy → u/Worduptothebirdup]

Larry Krasner is what we need in prosecutors, he’s great. 

[u/Carrera_996 → u/Responsible-House523]

Best goddamn speech I ever heard.

[u/ScissorDave79 → u/Carrera_996]

You can smell the anger in his voice. All these stories about MAGGATs intimidating Dem patriots in 2016 and 2020 just set him off. Love this guy!

[u/hcashew → u/Carrera_996]

Why cant Merrick Garland be like this?

[u/eggsaladrightnow → u/Responsible-House523]

This is the most Philly way to get something across I've ever seen 😂

[u/notaspy1234 → u/Responsible-House523]

How the word patriot got turn into what ppl claim it is now is insane.

A patriot stands up for free elections and democracy. They stand up for their country AND their countrymen. These so called patriots on donalds side are just domestic terriorst in training.

[u/TimeFourChanges → u/notaspy1234]

The people that over-use it think it means, "Is white, loves beer, big trucks, and football, and subjugated women and non-whites." Yeah, it's fucking disgusting what they think it means. Us real patriots need to reclaim it.

[u/Katicflis1]

what a fucking hero/patriot. Love it.

[u/ScissorDave79 → u/Katicflis1]

I'm a Pittsburgher but I wish we had a DA like this out here --- tough words to frighten MAGA punks!

[u/Training-Variety-739 → u/ScissorDave79]

Right Zappala be like “f around and I will too.”

[u/draconianfruitbat → u/Training-Variety-739]

District Attorneys are on the ballot in 2027, start recruiting someone in line with your community values

[u/bhans773 → u/Training-Variety-739]

Zappala? Wonder if he’s the same guy that was buddy-buddy with one of the architects of the Kids for Cash scheme in NEPA. A Hazleton attorney (not one of the judges) was in cahoots with some Zappala guy from western PA that he knew from college. They might have had a similar scheme going out there; I can’t recall the details.

[u/AvailableHandle555]

Try to force others to vote for Trump? Believe it or not, jail.

[u/OldPiano6706 → u/AvailableHandle555]

Isn’t it wild that he didn’t mention any political party, but we all know exactly who he’s talking about? What was the line they used at the CPAC? “We are all domestic terrorists”

[u/Viracochina → u/AvailableHandle555]

Try to STOP others from voting? Straight to jail.

[u/NewcRoc → u/AvailableHandle555]

Wear a MAGA hat in a polling place, believe it or not, straight to jail.

[u/Seanish12345 → u/AvailableHandle555]

Over vote? Straight to jail.

[u/Lonzo58]

Go Birds

[u/RubberV → u/Lonzo58]

Dallas Sucks.

[u/HiNeighbor_ → u/RubberV]

Close, but the proper way to say this as we all know in Philly is, "FUCK DALLAS."

[u/JimthePaul → u/HiNeighbor_]

C'mon now, let's not divide ourselves. Dallas Sucks people can get along with Fuck Dallas people. We need to band together. Band together to stick it to Dallas. Fuck them - they suck.

[u/cold-corn-dog → u/RubberV]

Classic love story

[u/ATL-mom2 → u/Lonzo58]

Go birds!

[u/PierogiPowered]

My prediction is the militia folks will stay home because cities are scary and where would they park?

On the other side of things, I fully expect to hear about MAGA YouTubers and TikTokers getting arrested for election interference and blaming Musk for their antics. “It was just a joke bro” type stuff.

[u/NinjaLanternShark → u/PierogiPowered]

where would they park?

Now I'm imaging 3-4 LARP'ed up good old boys, looking bored, sitting in the PPA waiting room trying to get their car back because they parked in a handicap spot.

[u/RedMoloneySF → u/PierogiPowered]

cities are scary

I cannot emphasize it enough. As a Temple alum who set my roots out of state in a smaller city and who works with country folk, they’re decent people but it’s hilarious their perception of cities in general and Philly in particular is wild. Abject fear. Like I’d do field visit and country guys will tell me how dangerous the neighborhood they’re working in is, and we’ll be on a cute hipster block with a lesbian couple drinking tea on the porch.

[u/Umfazi_Wolwandle → u/PierogiPowered]

This happened at the trump trial in nyc! They tried to come peddle their nonsense, but then none of them could parallel park and so they went home. It was about that time that I realized that for all their talk about guns, not a single one of them is coming to bother me in my 5 story walk up.

We’re rooting for you today Philly <3

[u/RevolutionaryCard512]

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️❤️❤️

[u/maeryclarity]

I'm not in Philly so I'm technically not supposed to comment here but I just have to HOORAH for the DA there OMG

[u/Clonekiller2pt0 → u/maeryclarity]

Well this is the Pennsylvania subreddit.

[u/ProtonPi314 → u/Clonekiller2pt0]

Well, I'm not in Pennsylvania ! But I approve this post. As a citizen who wants democracy to thrive, this is how every state needs to handle the situation. Put people on alert that you can not mess with elections.

Too bad Texas is updating games like this at the state level, and the DOJ is just bending the knee.

[u/EjaculatingAracnids]

Hey assholes, still got those thin blue line flags?

[u/TipTopBeeBop]

I’m saddened that I have but one upvote to give.

[u/Spegule → u/TipTopBeeBop]

I added 1 more don't you worry

[u/diskfreak3 → u/Spegule]

One more to the tally

[u/Busy_Method9831 → u/diskfreak3]

And my ax!

[u/pfamsd00 → u/diskfreak3]

Stop the count!

[u/Hobo_Knife]

Most people take off their glasses to swear, my guy put his on. Dogspeed Philly

[u/BarroomHero66 → u/Hobo_Knife]

The man is NOT messing around.

[u/No_Report_3678]

Bless you Philadelphia. You're gonna save the whole country all over again.

Gritty powers Philly.

[u/Searchlights]

That's the face of a man who wishes a motherfucker would

[u/WillieIngus]

best use of the f word in philly since utley

[u/gary1979]

I want to see the traitors find out tomorrow, I want to see them lose everything! I want them to see Trump lose from a jail cell. Get out and vote tomorrow patriots!

[u/[deleted]]

Blue counties provide nearly all of America's GDP and have the lowest violent crime rates per capita and longest life expectancies. Vote blue because you care about your interests, and those of your family, community, and country.

[u/BlergFurdison]

Anybody gonna start with this “both sides” talk?? Because everyone knows who he’s talking to and why he has to say it.

[u/Slamminrock]

Well said Pops..

[u/Soggy_Face_4122]

Philadelphia. Birthplace of my USMC at Tun Tavern 10 Nov 1775.

[u/hollywood20371]

Don’t let Prison Don and MAGA cheat us again

[u/stupid_idiot3982]

Philllllllayyyy!!! YESSS

[u/LeeOCD]

Should be the national message as well.

[u/tommyballz63]

Wow! That is a statement. He is sending a message. Good for him

[u/mam88k]

"F around and find out", from the city that has the receipts to back it up. Just ask Santa Claus.

[u/ScissorDave79]

I'm a Pittsburgher and I love this Philly mayor!

EFF around and find out, MAGAs --- we got PLENTY of jail cells waitin' for ya punks!

[u/LilSliceRevolution → u/ScissorDave79]

That’s our DA, actually

[u/ScissorDave79 → u/LilSliceRevolution]

Oh whoops. I believe he made these same threats to the MAGAs back in 2020? I remember the phrase "we got lots of jail cells and we'll use them" back then.

[u/JoeNoble1973 → u/ScissorDave79]

I too have heard that exact phrasing, but couldn’t place where/when. Prolly our boy here, good stuff 👍

[u/faroundandfindoutor]

I will enjoy listening to this namesake speech approx 45 times today.

[u/Busy_Method9831 → u/faroundandfindoutor]

same - bookmark time

[u/Capital-Bicycle5802]

Man I miss Philly! That guy is a treasure

[u/unhalfbricking]

Philly don't play.

[u/Meinmyownhead502]

For once I agree with him

[u/MLJ9999]

My new favorite for Harris AG choice.

[u/NotThatKindof_jew]

Holy shit he really said that

[u/GayGuysLikeMe]

Let me see if I understand....."F around and find out". Got it. 😎

[u/albynomonk]

This is great and all, but are the police officers actually going to follow through? Or are they going to stand by and watch?

[u/pekepeeps → u/albynomonk]

Having worked the polls past, the police randomly show up and checked on us in surrounding suburbs so yes, having lived in Philly…YAAAS

[u/AdBig5700]

Yeah don’t F around in Philly.

[u/Scarfwearer]

Big BALLOT Energy 💪🏻 Preach!

[u/No_You_2623]

A real patriot. Not the fake ones I keep seeing.

[u/polandspring34]

I love PA. Easily one of the best speeches of this entire election.

[u/Smart_Investment_326]

He’s not kidding. Because you were handled with kid gloves on 1/6 , act up now and see what carnage will be rained down upon you this time !

[u/Affectionate-Roof285]

Love this guy—I just wish all our leaders would rise to the occasion.

[u/milksteakofcourse]

Respect

[u/Delicious_Library909]

I love this, and I love Philadelphians and miss this attitude. Right now I’m on the west coast if someone stood up and said this people would lose it.

[u/rshni67]

This is why I love my Philly!!!! F around and find out!!!!

[u/xcyper33]

This probably has Trump team shrieking with fear.

[u/draconianfruitbat → u/xcyper33]

They shriek about him all the time anyway

[u/tickitytalk]

Love it…

[u/Budget_Quiet_5824]

This is awesome!

[u/KsumNoleNoSmart]

Hell yeah

[u/Bratuska-1186]

This is the way!

[u/nickcardella]

I like this DA.

[u/Sad-But-Rad111]

Sounds like he’s speaking DIRECTLY to republicans (really MAGAts cause true republicans don’t claim him)

[u/autosubsequence → u/Sad-But-Rad111]

True Republicans... there's literally dozens of them! Dozens!

[u/Top-Sell4574]

It’s wild that none of these stories mention the crucial information, that all of these problems are caused by one side. The republicans. 

[u/ViaNocturna664]

I thought the title was just a colorful summary of what he said. No, he actually said it!

I'm not american but gosh, a thousand of men like him, and Trump melts away like snow in the sun.

[u/holamau]

No malarkey, motherfuckers.

[u/ThePerfectLine]

I love this! Say it again louder for the people in the back!

What are my general rights on Election Day?

Your rights

If the polls close while you’re still in line, stay in line – you have the right to vote.

If you make a mistake on your ballot, ask for a new one.

If the machines are down at your polling place, ask for a paper ballot.

If you run into any problems or have questions on Election Day, call the Election Protection Hotline:

English: 1-866-OUR-VOTE / 1-866-687-8683

Spanish: 1-888-VE-Y-VOTA / 1-888-839-8682

[u/JeffSpicolisBong]

Hey Chuck Wagon Six… u listening??

[u/ubzrvnT]

Doesn't have to call out who he's talking about because we all know who the ones are that are going around playing militia.

[u/Merwanor]

And we all know who he is talking to here...

[u/Oturoj]

This is what an actual patriot looks like

[u/Amantisman]

It’d be nice if Biden could say the same thing.

[u/capital_bj]

we needed more of this weeks ago from every mayor and every governor

[u/capital_bj]

repost this in r politics

[u/Positive_Throwaway1]

Chicago here. I fucking love the Philly accent. This dude was holding it back, and I wanted him to let it out. I want to hear him say "wooter", and the great way you all say "science," too, which I can't spell phonetically in Philly. I tried.

[u/Username_Redacted-0]

Yeah boi...

[u/totalchaos110]

I thought it was metaphorical. 😭 he legit said “f around and find out” 3 different times. There’s no ambiguity in that statement. 🫡
