No no Guardian, don’t play their game. Ethnic cleansing was literally not a term until the 90s. The Clinton admin made it up out of nothing to justify why the US didn’t have to intervene in Rwanda, and everyone else went with it because it was convenient for them, because everyone else was trying to figure out how they didn’t have to intervene as well. “Ethnic cleansing” is just genocide in a wrapper.
Yeah, this sounds like an end run to “justify” blue states not being counted.
They’ve been trying to spin literally any protests or even just token resistance as criminal, and rural voters, by and large, absolutely believe that cities are hives of crime and iniquity.
Yup, “move fast and break things”, legal system style. Turns out if you throw someone on a plane and into a foreign prison before the court date even arrives, it’s actually really hard to get them back out, because now “it’s a state department issue”.
What’s worse is that this is coming from the Communications Director. A spokesperson shouldn’t be using language like this, ever, especially if we’re still pretending at the whole “government as a business” thing.
Of course, this is how Trump runs all his businesses, so.
Yeah, this is another tendril of American exceptionalism, that we MUST somehow have a link to the biblical era (although some are happy linking the Bible to whiteness somewhere instead). This is where you get Joseph Smith claiming that the Native Americans are the lost 12th tribe, or the Templars burying the treasures of Jerusalem in Canada, or “the British people are the Twelfth Tribe” or whatever.
Anyone into ballistae? Trebuchets are cool, but have you put a small tree into someone’s living room?
Honestly have to agree. Do it anyway. Make them stop you. Then ignore their court order. Make the police stop you.
And to suppress registration within blue areas even further, yes.
The bigger issue is that even if this does collapse quickly, the damage is largely done. Who knows how much data and accumulated years of knowledge are gone, to say nothing of all the agencies and policies that are just burnt to the ground. It took DECADES to get the EPA to even a level that was largely useful. Even if we come out the other side of this, it’ll be in a radically changed form, possibly not even as the United States. I can very easily see a power vacuum and federal collapse from the fact that the federal government, aside from the actual levers of power like the judiciary and the military, is just a skeleton now.
Evil, no. Money, yes.
Bingo. The main body of the cult truly bought into the idea that Trump is either God’s handpicked man, a prophet, or Jesus Christ Himself. Morality doesn’t apply to the Selected.
The larger part will eat it happily.
Nah, this is more stochastic violence. “Will nobody rid me of this turbulent college president” vibes.
From other sources, yes he does. He truly believes all the hatred he’s gotten is entirely manufactured.
I’ll also throw in November Kelly’s No Gods No Mayors, and occasional guests Failure To Launch (space disasters) and Beyond The Breakers (shipwrecks).
None of his Cabinet will. All of them have been chosen mostly to make sure they don’t get in his way when his Wormtongue gives him ideas.
No, he knows. I don’t think he cares, because they’re not him. You fail to understand the mind of a narcissist - other people are not people, and the ones who actively say that they dislike you or what you stand for might as well be ants on the sidewalk for all the thought you give about them, ever.
Trying to look younger by defining the cheekbones and eyes more. She knows Trump and the rest of his cabinet won’t respect a woman who looks like a woman.
FORMER print guy. Office Depot fired him before this.
