Political Memes

Sorry for calling again but could you please paint "DEATH TO AMERICA" on the jets? We got those new hangars and don't want to make them all smelly right away.

monarchist nation build on slave labor, that murders political dissidents, queer people and indigenous groups? yea, that's probably bad or whatever idk, ~~i mean we did all that too and we're the good guys yknow~~

chinese ally???? now they've crossed a line!!!! 😡😡😡

Kind of ironic too because as evil as they are, SA are absolutely an American ally as well.

The liberalist faith in law is a huge blind spot. The system is corrupt. It's been corrupt for a while now, but it's unmissable obvious now, and it disturbs me how many people are still saying strange things like how the constitution will stop this, the judges will stop this, the police will stop this. Corruption is systemic, not individualistic. The corrupt system isn't coming to save people from the corrupt system!

If you aren't already, organize locally with others to perform real political action through our worker power. Even if your local area has to build from scratch - the sooner we as citizens develop political power, the more lives are saved.

Super solid post. References cited from the government itself. Depressing that it’s on this topic though. Damn.

The trumpberries taste like trumpberries!

everything is legal when you're dumpy. EVERYTHING. Including rape.

No Congress abdicated its duty and so did the Supreme Court. If they were doing their jobs Sit like this wouldn't happen.

The Patriot Act of 2001 destroyed checks and balances.

I opposed the Patriot Act because of the lack of checks and balances built into the legislation. Congress was being asked to give the executive enormous authority and then to step back and trust the executive to implement it responsibly.

The Patriot Act, to me, represented unchecked executive power. Congress was giving authorities to law enforcement that they had long requested, even before 9/11, and was agreeing to do so with minimal oversight built into the system.

I recommend to read all they have to say about it.

That said, the whole thing was already prepared and waiting in a drawer for something like 9/11 to happen. The USA was very much Not OK even before that.

"A borgor republic is a country with an economy of the best type of capitalism, where the country is operated as a private commercial enterprise for the exclusive profit of the job creators. Typically, a borgor republic has a 100% meritocratic society, usually a lot of lazy welfare queens looking for handouts and a ruling class of brilliant, innovative job creators and democratically elected politicians selflessly carrying out the will of the people."

You kind of have to take a step back and just be impressed for a minute.

For this man with all his fuckups and perceived incompetence, he's done an amazing job of installing yes men and cronies at every avenue that could have enforced any consequences for his actions. Can you imagine what it would be like to see someone apply a similar energy to actually improving our country.

*Other than China being able to reverse-engineer our military tech? I mean, they probably have our building schematics through other means, but isn't that the main faux pas?

Appears there are a number of sources discussing it. It's strange being that Russia is currently selling them air defense systems as well.

I'm sorry, but after everything we've seen over the last decade, this comment is WAY too optimistic.

Republican senators had the golden opportunity to rid their party of Trump at the tail end of his first term after he lost an election and incited an insurrection.

They didn't.

The only hope I can see is that they recognize that at this point he could literally keel over dead any day and they may be planning their exit strategy. But I'm pretty sure that's just "slide Vance in" and they don't really need to do that until Trump is actually dead.

I'm sure they're concerned about the mid-terms but I don't think their strategy for improving their image before then is getting rid of Trump. I think they have other plans for that. They've hitched their wagon to him. And he owns the hearts and minds of every racist, sexist, ignorant piece of shit in this country. And there's A LOT of those motherfuckers out there. That's valuable to their party.

Nobody in US political leadership wants to set the precedent of facing legal consequences for their actions while in power.

No hardware or software that you have unfettered access to is un-crackable forever. If China has the will to crack it, they almost certainly have the means. It is only a matter of manhours.

If Lockheed Martin has kill codes for their F35s then China can reverse engineer those kill codes

Most of the career Defence personnel in the Pentagon with spines have already been forced out through purges.

The remaining staff are loyal to Trump, or likely have made clear they'll not risk their jobs raising any concerns or objections.

I don't think most of the US realises how fucked they are under Trump 2. This is barely 10 months in of a four year term.
