There’s a loophole to prevent filibuster - 60 votes ends debate, and there’s enough fascist Dems for that. So he’s halting business anyway.

I say give him some credit.

This is a very relevant detail I had missed. Thank you for pointing it out!

Yeah, holding the citizens victims of authoritarians accountable for the actions of their corrupt leaders had helped humanity so much. Take your useless bigotry and shove it where the sun don’t shine.

I will not be reciprocating this bullshit sentiment if/when this disease spreads to wherever you live. And spread it will…

Oh, it’s very logical; but the goal absolutely is to reduce voter turnout even further (and our turnout is disturbingly bad already). But honestly, you ought to spend some time looking into ways of disenfranchising voters. You really might be surprised how devious they tactics have become. Just saying

Ah-ha, the goalposts move.

No. The incompetence of those responsible is irrelevant.

I’m done, anyway…

I don’t see it. There’s some pretty big jumps to get from a to b.

I cannot fathom how you arrive at such a conclusion. Like, I figure you know not to trust the “news” anymore; but, dude, don’t trust the media?

Screeching? Ummm…you mad bro???

Umm. What? No. Seriously. Wtf mate?!?

I think mass murder is despicable. Considering the US government had engaged in large scale extra judicial killings for decades (whether red or blue, no fucking difference), my country disgusts me. But, are you legit saying doing so incompentently is the problem? Not the murder. The incompetence.

Touch grass, god damn weirdo.

If but perfect you mean perfectly exploitative, sure. The walled garden issue has nothing to do with ease of use my friend; in fact, the whole point is to do the opposite - make anything outside the wall impossibly hard to access or use.

They’re telegraphing their next move. As well as know, when they run out of immigrants, all minorities will be open season.

If he just wanted to destroy the US, he’d be more subtle about it.

(Emphasis mine)

Like hell! That fucker is literally incapable of being subtle!!

No. Fuck no, in fact. He’s not calling the shots. Whether he’s suffering from dementia or not, he’s a fucking idiot. His craven levels of stupidity also happen to reinforce his malignant narcissism, but that’s a whole other thing.

No, he’s intentionally not being subtle to run our faces in it, even though it’s extremely doubtful he even understands that there’s a master plan. In fact, he’s probably at least dimly aware that Daddy Putin has a plan, but he doesn’t care cause now he gets to be king.

Point is, he’s both malicious and dumber than a bag of rocks.

Somehow, I hope, even pray, that we will avoid a violent revolution. Which has got to sound just asinine, I know; but I figure Mango Mussolini is specifically trying to cause an uprising to give iron clad “justification” for implementing martial law (and cancelling elections, of course, for “security”).

I dunno, I guess I’ve got this utterly foolish notion that if the mask off fascist society fails to “gel together”, we could, I dunno, have a relatively peaceful dissolution of the federal government, leaving each state it’s own nation. I do not want this, it’s a fucked up resolution that will still cause massive poverty and unrest.

Better than being led into WW3 by a retarded Cheeto, however…😝

Oh, no, it’s been a slow boil since probably at least the end of the Civil War. Hell, even the convention that drafted the Constitution did so with no authority. The document hailed as sacrosanct, the bedrock of America…wasn’t created honorably, but rather in an act of treason, basically.

Fascism has been entrenched in the halls of our government for quite some time now. This isn’t the descent. They’re just taking the mask off.

And now I immediately think of Reconstruction being quietly ended without accomplishing shit.

I don’t think the Business Plot wasn’t a failure after all. I mean, it’s kinda fucking obvious, isn’t it? None of the conspirators were so much as even charged with any crime. The congressional investigation confirmed the conspiracy was real…and nothing was done because “they changed their minds” at the last moment due to lack of funding.

I see you struck a few nerves. But you’re right. It’s disgusting, but this right here is why they have turned “do your own research” into a meme, essentially - because a colloquialism loses its original meaning. And suddenly millions of people can literally no longer comprehend the idea of research.

I mean, for hell sake don’t people realize there’s about a million very terrible, but very real, reasons why we have a law that states if the ICC detains an American, the military must immediately launch an attack to retrieve that person.

As I’ve said before, we’re literally the reason the term “banana republic” exists. The citizens were fine, happy even! Their government wasn’t even hostile. But they threatened the profits of Dole I believe it was, so the US government sent in the military, overthrew em, and installed a puppet.

Insert “are we the baddies” meme

Basically, the fascists were guaranteed winners in WW2; these fuckers were already infiltrating everyone.

I have a hard time wrapping my head around this one. If you “federate” authentication, wouldn’t that just open it up to bad actors?

I doubt it shrank. The wealth gap has likely only grown since Reagan at least.
