Yeah, holding the citizens victims of authoritarians accountable for the actions of their corrupt leaders had helped humanity so much. Take your useless bigotry and shove it where the sun don’t shine.
I will not be reciprocating this bullshit sentiment if/when this disease spreads to wherever you live. And spread it will…
Oh, it’s very logical; but the goal absolutely is to reduce voter turnout even further (and our turnout is disturbingly bad already). But honestly, you ought to spend some time looking into ways of disenfranchising voters. You really might be surprised how devious they tactics have become. Just saying
They’re telegraphing their next move. As well as know, when they run out of immigrants, all minorities will be open season.
And now I immediately think of Reconstruction being quietly ended without accomplishing shit.
I don’t think the Business Plot wasn’t a failure after all. I mean, it’s kinda fucking obvious, isn’t it? None of the conspirators were so much as even charged with any crime. The congressional investigation confirmed the conspiracy was real…and nothing was done because “they changed their minds” at the last moment due to lack of funding.
I doubt it shrank. The wealth gap has likely only grown since Reagan at least.
The scene from Men in Tights when Robin slaps the sheriff with a metal gauntlet!!
Remind me - how many times has Putin actually kept to the terms of a ceasefire? Cause that’s exactly what he’s known for.
In the end, we all know:
-Putin is an asshole
-Ukraine did not pose the slightest military threat, and were not the aggressors
So, when it comes down to it, fuck Putin and his so called “lenient” terms. Bruising Putin’s ego is not, in fact, a crime.
Everyone knows Putin will not settle for peace. He just wants to fix supply side issues to continue the offensive. You know this. It’s not that you don’t see the evil in that man; you defend it because you support it anyway.
My takeaway is that they believe they will have now power now, and so will do nothing to stop Trump
My money is the police unions will just ignore this; or even more on brand, they’ll invent some new with that just means collective bargaining, but only for police.
FYI, uBlock with Annoyances: EasyList - Annoyances enabled did the trick for me.
I was generally happy with uBlock before, but then I found the dashboard and checked all the boxes for Annoyances and oh man! So much better!
Edit: Oh, bit thank you for the warning! You know, when I was younger I honestly thought the <flash> HTML tag was the worst…I kinda miss it now, isn’t that fucked up?! But, I mean, in comparison…
And, obviously, the parasitic “elites” are now than happy to sink whatever costs are necessary to spread their fear based propaganda.
Yeah well I revoke your permission to grant permission.
So now we’re looking at Greenland and Panama turning into Trump’s Saarland and Rhineland.
Fuck sake.
And, again, that hurts Putin how, exactly? I didn’t say Russia, nor did I mention the Russian people.
No, sanctions are not working; by punishing the citizens for his actions we are simply adding more fervor to their own state propaganda. But the very real harm the citizenry there are experiencing means nothing to that walking slime.
I have nothing against the Russian people, nor the people of any other nation. It is possible to separate the actions and views of the sociopathic elite usurpers from the people they pretend to represent.
This problem is happening everywhere. I stand in solidarity with the working class, no matter where they call home.
From your first link:
“As President Trump threatens new sanctions against Russia, the Russian economy thrives despite previous measures that failed to deliver the intended bite.”
Meanwhile, we’re discussing actions in this thread that will clearly have consequences, not empty threats.
Why are you using their made up name for it?
Network State = fascism
How does any of this hurt Putin, though?
It’s far simpler that his handlers are foreign and actors who want the nation destroyed so they can chop it up and auction off the pieces. That motive fits.
His new inner circle are not his handlers; they are new recruits who want to be first in line to buy up the pieces. A billionaire is not a patriot. They don’t give two fucks about society - that’s why they’re billionaires.
There’s a loophole to prevent filibuster - 60 votes ends debate, and there’s enough fascist Dems for that. So he’s halting business anyway.
I say give him some credit.
