A New Politics Thread

[Diomedes]

Geo and Rome about to get a few new neighbors.  Cuomo promised he'd leave NY if he lost...where else would a douchebag like him go than Florida?

[MDS]

this country is hopeless

just going in circles blaming their shortcomings on whoever happens to be in power and learning nothing along the way

i want to meet a biden-youngkin-trump-spangberger voter

[Diomedes]

You already know them and you don't actually want to meet them

[Diomedes]

We need a military coup in the U.S.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Yep.

What a joke of a country the US has become

[MDS]

party like its 2003

[Rome]

All the simpletons who used their votes to protest Gaza must be feeling pretty smug right now. 

Also - and I mean this sincerely, I have said all along that there isn't an order, legal or otherwise, that the military wouldn't obey.  This is just a test to see how far they'll go, and the answer is as far as they want.  That includes troops in the streets, suspension of habeus corpus, internment camps for dissidents... the whole nine farging yards. 

But hey, at least the Democratic Party isn't aimlessly staggering around like drunken uncles wondering why everyone is pissed at them for telling racist jokes at Christmas Dinner.

The weakness is not restricted to American so-called Left.

How can England, Germany, etc., not protest this action in the most strenuous manner?  Have they no education?  No courage?

It is time long past now that decent nations divorce themselves from the United States. 

I am not falling closely because I won't pay for what passes as news anymore, but I have read only that France of all nations has been the loudest critic so far.

Sad state of affairs when the farging frogs are the most brave on the scene.

Macron lauded this insanity. So did Starmer. They're all just knuckling under to Trump because they can't stop him now. 

[Diomedes]

typical framing (an AP headline:) "Trump's plan to seize and revitalize Venezuela's oil industry faces major hurdles"

Putin is the happiest guy on the planet right now.  Spoils beckon.

[PhillyPhreak54]

The complicity in the news media is wild. Journalism is deader than dead.

The NYT and WaPo withholding the stories about the impending attack on Venezuela was disgusting too

ICE murdered a woman in cold blood In Minneapolis this afternoon.  Shot her in the face three times.  Just curious - where's all the 2A lovers out there now that the government is actually murdering people in the streets?

[General_Failure]

Doing the murdering, just like they always wanted.

[PhillyPhreak54]

I didn't know about it til I read this.

Looked at twitter for ten minutes and now I want to puke.

What a god damned shtein hole we live in
