Get the implausible speculationmug. People who are poor and outcasts in society that are jailed for offenses that are specifically designed to harass, segregate, and disenfranchise them. For example, homeless being arrested for sleeping on a park bench, or vagrancy laws for having no source of income. Or resisting arrest, without resisting, or without charges for the arrest. In some cases trumped charges such as assault on a law enforcement officer are added for those who are not disobeying a law. These charges can be extremely serious and intimidating, even when they have no basis in fact.
When people are protesting they may also be subject to harassment and intimidation, especially when the police are gooning for the 1%.

City Commission Meeting
Speaker one:
There are homeless people in our parks. One was charging his cell phone from a City power pole. And another was drawing with chalk on the sidewalk. This is serious. Pretty soon some charity will be feeding people in the park.
Speaker two:
These homeless offenders were clearly not: "Not Too Small To Jail"

Get the Iron Assmug. Twitter name given to Trump, after he suggested using a disinfectant for treatment of COVID-19. Trump made this suggestion after getting a letter from Mark Grenon who told Trump that chlorine dioxide – a powerful bleach used in industrial processes – is “a wonderful detox that can kill 99% of the pathogens in the body” and that it ... “can rid the body of Covid-19”. Because chlorine dioxide can have fatal side-effects when ingested the manufacturers of commercial products with chlorine dioxide held press conferences telling people not to use the product to treat disease and to contact medical professionals when sick.

Get the 'tide pod' presidentmug. A belief that political miracles are achieved by sheer will force. Proponents of the Green Lantern Theory have attributed failure and compromise to a lack of presidential willpower. Matthew Yglesias came up with the Green Lantern Theory of Geopolitics* to ridicule conservatives who claimed "the only thing limiting us is a lack of willpower" in foreign policy. The Green Lantern Theory was later applied to the Obama Administration who seemed to lack the will power to make the radical changes in policy such as universal health care, lowering medical costs, banking reform, and peaceful negotiations that people had hoped for., especially after the Republicans took over the US House in 2011.
Bernie supporters are big proponents of Green Lanternism and fail to recognize this kind of “Presidentmania” where the President can get anything done if he really wanted to, fails to take into account the significant amount of bureaucracy legal barriers, and the number players the president has to deal with such as legislators, special interests and Jurists who often do everything in their power to block the president from making these achievements.
