Doesn’t matter. They even determined that planning to get yourself in an unsafe situation with the purpose of shooting protesters, travelling across states with a gun to again very intentionally get yourself in a situation where you’d need to use it, is still self defense. Even when you shoot someone without actually being in danger, it becomes self defense when other people are trying to stop you. All of this, as long as your victims are protesting against right-wing policies, has been determined in court to be self defense.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think i get the sentiment of what you’re saying. Tariffs can be good to bolster local production, and thus, local workers under the assumsion that businesses doing well is good for workers (I’m not convinced it is, at least I don’t think it’ s what’s best for workers. But let’s work within the limitations of the capitalist system here.

The problem is how USA is doing it right now. If you give a 10 year warning before implementing tariffs, while also allocating money to support growing the needed industry, you make sure the industry has time to adapt and make the necessary changes to accomodate the needed growth in production and educating the workforce.

None of that is happening. In fact, while putting in the tariffs, the workers’s jobs are threatened with an economic collaps. The outcome in this scenario is survival of the rich, who will survive a 99% loss in wealth and income just fine. While the most vulnerable, the working class and those even more vulnerable like the sick or handicapped, are asked to simply live with it, and hope to god they may some day be able to afford what they used to. Meanwhile the richest will keep buying all that the working class are forced to sell off, just to survive.

Tariffs aren’t necessarily bad, but in this implementation they’re absolutely catastrophic to the working class, and a sale to the oligarchs.

What’s her motivation in this?

Did she realise how incredibly corrupt this is and wanted to call it out?

Did she want to shout out how fantastic the system is, that just by voting for the right candidate she earned a million?

Is she just stupid, and thought this was a brag?

What in the world could make this person admit to selling their vote to a fascist?

The prick is a fucking nazi, and needs to face the 1945 consequenses of being the nazi minister of propaganda. He doesn’t just get to pull back a bit and sit in his cosy Tesla office, acting like he isn’t the most deplorable waste of oxygen the world has ever seen.

You can do whatever the fuck you want, as long as you have an expensive enough lawyer who will “correct” you, when people point out what you’re doing is illegal.

It’s by design though. None of this is because of loopholes. What is happening is because the people in power wanted it to be possible.

What a god damn coward.

Sure they’re increasing their defense spending. But not really in the interest of USA.

USA wanted european defense spending to increase for multiple reasons:

1. To funnel european money into the american military industrial complex.

• This isn’t happening right now. Europeans are prioriticing european contractors.

2. To fight in american wars of agression around the world.

• Fat fucking chance when USA is threatening wars of agression against NATO countries.

3. To defend against Russia.

• With Putin owning Trump, this is now against Trump’s interests.
• While the threat from Russia is pretty big, they’re not in any way in a position to fight anything bigger than Ukraine.

Denmark is currently investing heavily in seamines, ships to handle the seamines and underwater surveillance. Unfortunately I fear it’s too little too late, but only time will tell I suppose.

No matter what, the best bet is to make the invasion so costly it won’t be worth it for the US.

No doubt that’d be considered an act of war from the fascists. Then again, doesn’t seem like they really need a reason to bring out the war-speeches.

Important to remember that collaborators are not without blame in all this. If they will not denounce the fascists, it doesn’t matter if they’re working class or not. They’re traitors.

Would be hilarious. Every ambassador who visits the White House just leaves a tray of a dozen eggs from their country on the doorstep.

This is why they keep taking advantage of you. Because every time there’s a solution it’s: “Nhaa, I don’t wanna spend 5 minutes every day for a few weeks to make sure my payments are going through”.

In response to your link. “Fuck you, got mine” seems to be a very central part of most of America no matter party affiliation.

It’s entirely impossible for most people to consider the lives of other people. They will start to moan and whine when they can’t afford restaurant trips, thinking they deserve pitty. Meanwhile they completely ignoring the millions of dead minorities who died for the terrible crime of being different.

Anyone explain to me why Trump thinks he’s entitled to the minerals? All he’s done is toss Ukraine out of the negotiation room, blamed them for being invaded in the first place, and now he thinks he deserves money? His people haven’t even negotiated a proper deal, since a proper deal would have actual consequenses for Russia if they were to break the ceasefire…

Republicans could shoot a baby on the street and turn around immediately and tell the witnesses “look, it’s time to move on, we have to look ahead to the future, and make sure babies aren’t putting themselves in these situations”

I can think of a few I’m not allowed to write.

How was it not already?

Don’t get me wrong. Fuck the lunatic, but this just seems like something that everyone assumed was already a thing, and now, when they realise it wasn’t, is super mad at Trump about, because it’s Trump.

There’s plenty of things about this piece of shit to be mad about, but making English the official U.S. language, when roughly 80% only speak english doesn’t seem like such a far fetched take.
