How a PTSD-tormented vet hasn’t plugged this cunt yet is beyond me. He’s said at least a dozen things in the last 10 years that would justify it. I mean he let the fact that there were Russian bounties on US service members go completely unanswered. Nevermind the repugnant things he says about them, he lets them be the target of headhunting sociopaths because he’s too much of a fucking pussy to say a single word against Putin.
Signing up for military service under Trump is insane in the membrane.
bag of onions for the widows+ a package of trump steaks+ free degree of your choice from trump university.
“If they needed to die to distract people from the Epstein files, so be it.”
How Americans aren’t storming the white house or Mar A Lago at this point with a bunch of guns is beyond me.
They still think the same strategy that supposedly helped Obama to beat Mitt Romney (“they go low, we go high”) will also beat Trump.
I’m not trying to be demeaning, this isn’t a rhetorical question. Seriously, what sort of logistical miracle would it take for this? America is fucking huge and that would take organization and I have no ideas.
I’m beyond hope for peaceful OR violent change. The only future I’m seeing is collapse and the subsequent corporate cyberpunk nightmare that will devour what remains.
They had no problem on jan 6.
Are you recommending that all of the disgruntled Magas commit suicide by secret service?
Armed man shot and killed after entering Mar-a-Lago secure perimeter, Secret Service says
precisely that. krasnov won’t learn his lesson unless you die at him. so go do that maybe.
They’ve been saying the same about Ukrainian soldiers and nobody cared
He’s a narcissistic psychopath. That means his brain is literally incapable of processing empathy, let alone understanding it.
ICE Apes should be dispatched to assist our Freedom Fighters in Iran. Put them right up front, where the action is. They love that shit.
“You ever fired a blaster at a living target?”
“Hahaha! All the time! I was the top womp rat hunter in my unit.”
“No, I mean a sentient being. Something that could shoot back.”
“No, I guess I never have.”
“You must be joking. How long has it been since you graduated?”
“Over a year.”
“What have you been doing all this time, looking the other way?”

Same same.
Normally this would end a Presidency within days of making remarks like that.
Nothing about this is normal.
Don’t let them normalize this shit.
Join the next general strike or you’ll be the next victim he can brag about or blame you for being a terrorist.
Yeah Trump has amiably shown what political commentators have said for decades, the US-system is too easily exploited by the executive concentrating power and removing the safeguards other countries have in their setups.
He still had vets and current military vote for him. After. He called them suckers and losers.
maybe he was onto something
That info didn’t make it into their NewsMax/Facebook filter bubble. Even if it did manage to slip through via a relative or a coworker, it would have been too late, “fake news” or about those other people.
Exactly. People really underestimate the conservative
newsbubble.
If you still support someone after they call you a sucker and loser, they might be right about you being a sucker…
Can you point to more than a single instance where when a controversy ended a presidency?
It was already normalized.
One atrocity can dissolve a government. But one atrocity every day can keep even the most hated and incompetent leader in power for a long time.
That’s been his style of political discourse forthis entire run. It’s a neverending fountain of shit with some of it sticking to the wall.
The head of the snake, and whatnot…
I’ll join the general strike that lasts for more than a day
I mean, join the one that lasts a day, too.
They shouldn’t call them that. It’s just a walk out. Maybe it’s OK to call it a dress rehearsal or practice run but the point would be to test community support mechanisms and get the word out, not to “put the corpos on notice” or lend virtue to someone’s extra personal day. The truth is it’s not much of a stress test if it’s just 1 day. Also it’s crying wolf. General strikes should damage the economy and an extra snow day just doesn’t. It fails that goal even if it feels nice to say they participated in a “general strike.”
But the more insidious problem is one of logistics, tactics, and reserves.
With protests, there’s often rotating participation so overall support/resource/attention burnout isn’t a brick wall issue. People generally know how many protest days they have to give up front and using them up just means they’ll need to be replaced by another protestor. The point is showing up if you can.
But “1-day general strikes” steal actual person-days from the real general strike (a protracted war of attrition between workers and the economy where the workers hurt themselves to hurt their enemy). Meaning, it actually helps corporations not just by dis-carding useable cards in our deck prematurely_and_ revealing to the opponent our possible hands, it also subtracts drawable cards from our reserves since each of those person-days eventually must be borne by mutual support networks later on.
“1-day General Strikes” are not general strikes!
People are strengthened by working together and organizing community action at any scale, not weakened.
No.
Organized community action that accomplishes nothing emboldens fascists who increasingly realize you pose no threat to them.
Sure, but if the only “working together” is to just whine “I don’t like this”, that’s not really worth the effort is it?
Strength for the people is only really useful when it’s used to act.
I agree, but they should be active days, to get people plugged in, motivated, and should not be confused with general strike especially since a bunch of people already mistake general strikes as “boycotting work.” But everything I read says that’s a mistake, because those people end up scabs since they were allowed to think it was another paid holiday.
Maybe local labor unions (who broadly supported the general strike) and community organizations know more about the situation and appropriate response there than either of us 🤷♂️
You’ll need to settle for 2 hours on a random Saturday
Don’t forget to bring your memeable sign! Remember, protesting is about showing how clever and good a person you are! I hope you have great weather for your parade!
Make sure you stay in your designated out of the way corner and clean up after yourselves so that people don’t even know you were there!
Surely another protest and a strongly worded letter will set him right.
People over there should skip the “maybe he’ll blame me as a terrorist” fear, he’s doing that anyway, and just jump right to the action of clean-up. French-style.
The only way to stop it from normalizing is by stopping it from happening. People can’t negate the normalizing process by sheer will.
Resist and unsubscribe, if everyone did what they could, might be more effective.
Also, go tax exempt.
people keep saying that. “this isn’t normal”. yes it is fucking normal. you’re just privileged enough you never noticed those in power treating people like this before now. well, now the popular vote just happened to be someone who cares as little for white liberals as he does for minorities. this is what life has always been like for us. time to buckle up and put on your big boy trousers, because if the civil rights movement taught POC anything, it’s that shit don’t get better without violence.
“this isn’t normal” my ass. lol. lmao even.
What’s not normal is that this guy doesn’t pretend to care about the people he gets killed. It’s fairly normal otherwise, but there is an aesthetic difference, and since America is full of aesthetes the difference seems large.
In other words, we’re in the “so rude, no lube” era.
Nowhere is this made more apparent than in Schumer’s statement about the war. He is basically saying “I would’ve gotten on board with bombing Iran, but you have to shmooze me first!”.
Service members that voted Trump, do you get it yet?
Not a service member, but Trump told you he only likes winners.
The people that died, well, they are losers like PoW John McCain.
So service members that voted for Trump will think he still likes them, until they are KIA (at which point, they no longer care).
He is the center of everyone’s universe in his mind
Why is this waste of life still existing?
Americans hate brown people so much more than him
Because someone didn’t get a decent scope and a proper target rifle.
Fuck that draft dodger. He should send his kid to die over there.
No he should go there in person.
Does anyone know where they were? Sadly, I’ve got family over there
Possibly Kuwait
Thanks, I appreciate it
What a fucking piece of shit
