I guess that’s the pageantry of politics, but in more pragmatic terms it’s pretty clear where Trump falls. Zelenskyy specifically is on Trump’s shitlist because he didn’t play ball with his “dirt on the Bidens” scheme. And Trump is transparently compromised by Putin in one way or another, and is going to rule warmly in favor of Ukraine’s abuser no matter what.
Any other nuance or angle that could be worked is literally beyond Trump’s reasoning or memory. A waste of time.
I’m surprised Zelenskyy met with him at all. It’s hard for me to think of a reason why this wouldn’t be an aggravating waste of his time.
It shows that you’re not shackled by empathy and are willing to “do what needs to be done.”
Meaning hurt the right people.
For those of us at home, Project 2025 describes invoking the Insurrection Act to deputize the National Guard of red states and using them to enforce immigration law in blue states.
Soldiers, kicking in doors looking for illegal immigrants, in a dire conflict of Federal vs State authority that hasnt been seen since desegregation. I wish Harris brought this up.
The US being the bad guys in the Korean conflict is an interesting take that I wouldn’t expect anyone outside of lemmygrad to espouse, care to elaborate?
Ignoring that sexist trash in the beginning, AIPAC doesn’t just reward compliant behavior from politicians, they also use the same vast resources to relentlessly punish dissent on their pet issues. Being an anti-Israel candidate is suicide with them around. They are a hundred pound weight on the scales of our political machine.
Conservatives believe that childless people, but childless women in particular, are shirking their moral duties as good citizens and good children of God. They are therefore of lesser value in the social hierarchy.
Factories need their servants, armies need their fodder. And don’t forget about reversing the Great Replacement…
These days, look for any family in America with 5 or more minor children and find a “devout Christian” as the patriarch.
Mormons are famous for this, and they support their breeder mentality by tapping into the same government resources they say they despise, sometimes venturing into fraud.
Reading the article he also said that parents should be able to cast votes on behalf of their minor children, which is much more alarming to me.
You might get off easier than the colored or mixed person in the equation, but you certainly wouldn’t be okay as a race-traitor.
No way would USSS be able to get his fat ass to wear a vest consistently, let alone the plates needed to stop a rifle round. In this heat?
Though I’m sure now he may reconsider, or be forced to.
The DNC is controlled opposition for the owner class. They exist to attract and squash any substantial change to our current system, and to give you hope that such change is still possible so long as you stay civil and play by the rules.
What would you be doing right now if every single person in government behaved like Republicans?
Are you aware that you won’t be able to wear a furry tiger costume when you’re getting pounded in the ass in the federal prison I put you in next year?” Howell asked.
Part of me wants to laugh at the seething impotence…but he not only thinks Trump will win, but that he himself will get arrest powers in a Trump regime and will be able to wield it against his enemies.
Please vote…and prepare for the worst from these fucking freaks.
Wtf I love Trump now!?
His failure to meaningfully divest from his business interests coupled with the numerous times he used his office to funnel money to himself such as forcing the Secret Service to stay at Trump properties as he traveled.
There, one.
I think it’s somewhat arrogant to assume that the state violence apparatus is wholly on our side on this one.
The military will likely fracture like everything else in such a scenario. I imagine desertion, theft of equipment, and sabotage would all be huge problems until things more neatly sort themselves into “us” and “them.”
Specifically, they are implied with the whole “call up the National Guard under the Insurrection Act and send them out to kick doors in looking for illegals, especially in liberal strongholds.” I am sure they will act strictly under the color of the law and adhere only to these reasonable, publicly stated goals.
On an unrelated note, TM 31-210 is an informative, engaging, and entertaining coffee table read, if anyone is looking for that sort of thing.
They do this literally all the time, not to normalize the idea, but to desensitize you to the accusation. That way, when they do something that is actually fascist, like calling up the Kansas National Guard under the Insurrection Act to go door-kicking in Chicago for illegal immigrants, your brain enters a thought-terminating state of “nothing-burger, both sides, etc.”
Example, they liked to use the word “insurrection” a lot about anything Democrats did following J6.
To protect a future, thoroughly fascist America from the rest of the free world should the GOP seize permanent power.
