floofloof@lemmy.cato politics @lemmy.world•Mike Johnson says men need to stop ‘playing video games all day’ and get to work: ‘They’re draining resources’7·21 hours agoThey are Nazis. Nazis believe that anyone who isn’t a productive cog in their industrial and military machine doesn’t deserve to live. The USA needs to overthrow this Nazi regime before they start the mass exterminations.

Anyone who thinks they’re safe doesn’t realize this. Sooner or later each of us will be on the list.

floofloof@lemmy.cato politics @lemmy.world•The Dangerous Silence of Retired U.S. Presidents - Ralph Nader goes fucking OFF on the pathetic, cringing complicity of our former "leaders"10·2 days agoI think it’s more about galvanizing and focusing some actual opposition to Trump, and making it more difficult for him to do what he wants to do.
floofloof@lemmy.cato politics @lemmy.world•Two planes just collided. Trump team is arguing with people about it.139·3 days ago“There have been no cuts to air traffic controllers, safety personnel, or safety-critical positions at the FAA,” the White House official X account posted.
That is, however, not exactly honest—even according to Trump’s own officials. In February, the administration erased 400 FAA roles, including positions that supported air safety. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy confirmed the cuts that time, though he attempted to minimize them by highlighting the overall staffing of the agency, which Duffy claimed employs some 45,000 workers.
The usual MAGA approach: lie and tell people the problem doesn’t exist, while making the problem worse. Deny all responsibility for the consequences of your actions while lecturing people about responsibility.

So, among other things, this is a step towards the Republican goal of denying women the vote.

floofloof@lemmy.cato politics @lemmy.world•Musician shares ‘absolutely unhinged’ emails from Kennedy Center’s interim director104·4 days agoThese MAGA Republicans are all the same: they spend their time going around being the biggest assholes and making everyone’s life a misery in whichever way they can, yet if anyone comes back with even the mildest question they freak out and lash out because they are extremely fragile and insecure. They treat everyone like shit but are always on a hair trigger to cry that people are being mean to them. The whole movement seems to be built on various personality disorders.
Other financial experts, including JP Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Diamond, have similarly assessed that Trump’s plan has pushed the U.S. to the brink of a recession.
They got his surname wrong. It’s Dimon.

(But still better than being on the other side of it.)
What’s this nonsense about governments pushing other governments over the edge as to not to succumb to Trump’s destruction?
The European governments that lean fascist spring to mind: they’re ready to do what it takes to get in the good graces of the USA and/or Russia, even if it undermines the rest of Europe. For example: Meloni’s Trump visit risks breaking EU unity - Paris
I’m sure you’re not worthless, but you make a fair point, that it takes a certain temperament not to be able to see the situation objectively but to put all the blame for your own misfortunes on women.
