That’s just it though, Trump hasn’t rewritten anything. He’s made a lot of noise, violated a lot of norms, and laws, but he hasn’t actually changed anything other than reputation. He hasn’t even changed the real budget, the second easiest thing for him to do. None of his executive orders are laws, the constitution isn’t going anywhere, and he’s not going to be amending it any time soon.
You’re mistaking support for our way of life, with support for Trump. We could rise up, we could overrun our own government, on a fairly short time scale. But then we’re also in a civil war. Which even assuming we win, in the best possible amount of time, with the least casualties, we still have to rewrite our laws to stop this happening again.
Or, we can sit here and work the system we have. Take fewer casualties, destroy fewer buildings, and have the same, if not better, odds of success. While keeping as much as possible, and rewriting the laws so this doesn’t happen again. There are limits on Trump, and what the public will allow. They’re just not as touchy as what the rest of the world would allow. Most places operate with much smaller communities, where feedback is much quicker.
It wasn’t a Trump blow out, he won due to the rules of our system, by an incredibly small margin, and all the polls before hand were showing a toss up race, probably in Kamala’s favor by a small amount.
What other channels was he in? Was he directing from another channel while being directed by Putin?
South Korea stepping into the scene strong then. Cool.
I’ve give it a good 15 to 20% chance that the public, or a governor, would show up with enough force of arms to cause a civil war. Outside of that I’d give it a 50/50 chance of working out for the Nazi’s. The reality though is that the left isn’t organized around any kind of physical force. The worst thing the right could do is cause that to change. Because of course they would immediately try to stop it, causing a military Streisand effect. If your political opponents are organizing to physically protect themselves from you, attacking them for it, will make them organize and react with violence much faster. The only thing worse than organized violence, is quickly escalating organized violence.
Honestly I don’t think she should run in 28. Nothing against Kamala, but we really don’t need a moderate centrist insider to bring us back from the damage Trump is doing. The nation would be far better off having a real debate with Pete, Tim, and Alexandria up on stage. Kamala would have too much power over the process, and would use every bit of it. Which of course means that’s exactly what’s going to happen, probably handing us a narrow loss to fucking Don Jr. or some other moron puppet.
They’d be bragging about it on the news in order to promote the chilling effect. The question at that point would be if it caused an armed reaction. They want to start a civil war because they think they will win.
We don’t want to threaten him, we want to tell him to fuck off into retirement. Threats just make politicians go turtle.
They’re going to China to discuss sales numbers.
Zelensky should use any pause in the conflict to re-arm like mad. Divest from Starlink everywhere possible, and bring in European weapon systems. Don’t even think about slowing down until they’re mining Chernobyl for nukes with a stockpile already standing.
He wants to start a war he thinks he can win. He does know the consequence. That’s why security around Mara Lago is so much higher this time. It’s still a security nightmare, but they’re trying.
Trump is scared Russia will lose before he can stop Zelensky with the aid of Europe. Once it’s only Europe and not just the US backing Ukraine, there will be nothing stopping them any more. No more ‘Don’t use our bombs too far inside Russia’ crap. Every refinery and military base in Russia will have to worry about how far Ukraine can reach every day.
Can we report the secretary of education getting her job for being white?
Luigi doesn’t talk to Elmo.
Kind of curious how large of a law suit Verizon could throw at Starlink.
Except that’s where she found out about it.
EDIT: I should also add the administrator of DOGE has made decisions based on classified information. Which makes remote work a bit of a problem.
Or a judge starts asking how she was administrating her department from the hotel bar.
The problem they’re going to run into is that everything has been coming from Musk, while Amy was in Mexico. So they’re not covering themselves, they committing perjury.
I don’t know, every time I drink that much I forget.
