I’ve said from the beginning that one way or another he’d be out right after the midterms (so Vance could have 2 full terms after taking over this one), but maybe il Douche isn’t gonna be able to make it that long. The main thing Vance et. al. have to make sure of is that everything happens in a way that the base will accept as legit and won’t interpret as a coup or conspiracy against Daddy.
Mississippi health officials declared a public health emergency last week in response to the state’s rising infant mortality rate.
Doctor Dan Edney said the best way to reduce infant mortality is by improving maternal health. “That means better access to prenatal and postpartum care, stronger community support and more resources for moms and babies,” Edney wrote.
Mississippi: “Not like that.”
Gettin’ his personal army of brownshirts all legitimized and stuff so they can mow down any protesters and disappear any ‘troublemakers’.
You don’t usually see major news outlets like Newsweek covering protests being planned ahead of time instead of downplaying and barely mentioning that some protests happened after the fact. AND listing specific demands instead of vaguely just saying “anti-trump protests”. That’s an improvement, at least. Keep it going! Getting more media attention in an environment where most media has been cowed and terrified to criticize trump is moving in a positive direction. If you’ve been thinking about showing up, this is a good one to turn out for.
Let me see … a big thing … Oh! How about dropping (can I say it)?
But you see, he is deploying troops to the most dangerous cites–the most dangerous to him and his regime, that is. No need to take control of cities that are on his side.
Work release? Let me guess, HR?
Not clicking on yet another clickbait “feel-good” article, but what is it this time-41%? Because every “New Low!!!1!” reported on is always in the low to mid 40’s. Always.
magas: Mass Deportation Now!
maga 1: omg I just realized if we deport all the illegulls we won’t have a cheap labor force to exploit anymore!
maga 2: Hmm let’s see, what other group’s labor could we exploit with slave wages and no rights or benefits?
maga 1: hmmmm, durrrrrrr.
maga 2: I know! Children!
Kennedy: I’m sure Jesus loves him, but …
Jesus: STFU *hits mute*
Yeah it was pretty much inevitable, sooner or later. The same is true for several other countries whose citizens are here on Lemmy laughing at us or chastizing us about it, not realizing that the same thing is coming for them, too.
How can you allow this to happen?
I love how people ask questions like this, like we’re gods who can snap our fingers and magically stop the fascists who outnumber us. The number of people who wanted it to happen outnumbered the number of us who didn’t want it to happen. Simple as that. Can’t even blame the electoral college.
And those people still absolutely love him and will do anything for him and to keep him in power. The only option left after losing the election would be civil war, but even if enough people were ready to go all out and start one, we would lose that war because they have the government and its resources, including the military. That’s the problem with democracy, you see–majority rules and if the majority decides they don’t want a democracy any more, then it’s over.
Very good, House Dems. Now keep doing it–introduce another 99 bills to do the same between now and the next presidential election (if there is one), which would be as many as the number of times House republicans introduced bills to repeal the ACA (and that only counts their bills through 2017, which was the latest date I found a source for).
And of course they made sure the Medicaid cuts/work requirements go into effect right after the 2026 election.
I think out of all the freaks given positions in the regime, this asshole will do the most harm, kill the most people and cause the most suffering over the longest time span – and that’s saying a lot.
Wonder where that idea came from? Sounds like some oligarchs want to buy up some of that sweet, isolated BLM acreage to construct their own personal towns on and bring in servants and a personal army to live there and take care of them, safe from revolting peasants.
Unfortunately change requires repeated and/or sustained protests over time, so we’ll have to see. But this was a good sign that it may be possible. If we go to war with Iran, a whole new cohort will be added to the numbers.
I keep seeing estimates of everything from that 4-6 million up to 11 million or even 13 million.
I also saw estimates of 5 million for the Hands Off protests and these were definitely a lot bigger than that (certainly at least twice as big at my location), so either the Hands Off one was over-estimated or the 4-5 million for No Kings is underestimated.
I hope someone snatches him up …
An unfortunate choice of words, that. But yes, we hope he quickly finds a new and better job where he can speak freely.
With his caretakers who are relatives of those he whose lives he ruined and secretly torture him whenever no one else is around and he can’t tell anyone.
