The man incited a riot, tantamount to sedition. He has been proven to be under the influence of, if not directly under the control of, Putin, a foreign competitor to say the very least.

If the first point wasn't enough (and it fucking should be), the second one should be disqualifying.

But shareholders will get rich.

That's all that matters.

I know very little about the Chevron doctrine but I know that the overturning of that made it possible for corporations to essentially ignore any administrative oversight.

I often wondered what would happen if someone were to take the frequencies of the military or even airport flight control and just started broadcasting. Does the FCC have delegated authority? If they don't, sounds like anyone can broadcast Rick Astley on any frequency.

The problem that these justices and elites seem to forget is that they are trusting on the very systems they dismantling working for them.

I remember when his tax "cut" first was experienced, there were a bunch of tiktoks on the fact that their taxes went up. A lot of "I didn't vote for this!" Videos.

But they soon forgot.

His fans are like cats. Easily distracted, so long as someone else is getting hurt worse.

The problem for the Democrats is that the tent is very big. There are a lot of issues and a lot of people who care about very different things.

Gaza, unfortunately, was one of those. We had people who grit their teeth and voted Harris even though it was going to hurt them.

On the other side, Jewish zionists would have absolutely turned on Harris if she fully supported Palestine. Harris made a pragmatic choice to not alienate the zionists in the hopes that her opponent would be so toxic that Palestinians would see the lesser of two evils.

The really frustrating thing is Republicans don't have to run this kind of campaign. They can run a campaign on shit, fantasy, and rumor and their base will still show up and vote.

John Oliver's segment on Palestinians really cemented it for me: if your family was killed by a missile sold to them by Biden, it's really difficult to support his successor.

Sure you may not want the orange turd either.

But imagine the heartache of voting for the person related to the one who is responsible for the death of your family.

I know I can't. And a part of me feels for them.

What upset me the most is that Harris used Hilary's election plan verbatim. No one stopped to tell Harris that Clinton lost.

Sanders warned her that if she wants a good turn out, she needs to have a plan for the working class.

Instead she wasted weeks trying to get Republican endorsements instead of trying to shore up her base.

Lol.

Four years? Try four decades. The ramifications of Trump's first term is still being felt now.

Those look like cowbirds not crows.

I'm just so dumbfounded by how many progressive constitutional amendments got passed but voted Republican.

I just can't comprehend someone saying, "You know, this asshole took away my abortion rights but since I'm voting to restore them, I guess he should get another shot."

These people think that abortion amendments are going to hold when their dear leader is in the White House.

The article is only powerful if it's enforced.

I suspect that Putin's direct report won't really sign on to any sort of defense of European countries.

[–] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 10 months ago

Nah at this point, Putin is ready to fuck Donnie in the pooper.

It's funny that the last time this was floated by Republicans, they thought they were kicking the Democrat states out.

In other words, they thought they were keeping the Federal government.

Republican states need Democrat states far more than vice versa.

If Trump truly does win, Republicans won't split the country. They'll make it even more impossible to leave.
