Moving from lemmy.world.
Kind of the same reason you make noise while hiking in an area with bears. I’m never looking for an interaction so I make some one-off noises to let the other party know I’m there and I’m letting them decide how they want to handle that info.
US Military: we set up the bomb!
Yes! My body is ready!
And he can’t read, at least not big words with more than 2 syllables.
I’m a vet also. Never felt the need for a gun as a civilian, but November changed that for me.
Come for our healthcare! Stay cause you died.
That’s a really good idea! I’m about 5-8 hours from the Canadian boarder but I will not fight for a fascist country. I’ll either join the other side or join a resistance here.
That’s the point, I think, as well. I could see Putin using the useful idiot to destroy the primary rival to its superiority. The US is incredibly difficult to invade. The intelligence apparatus is too ingrained in all our communication to avoid detection. If you can’t get the rot to start from the outside, go for the inside.
It’s cute how so many in the comments think the legal checks will prevent this. They don’t care about the law or the Constitution in the same way they don’t care about optics, hypocrisy, decorum, or process. People keep viewing this through the lense of American democracy. None of that matters to fascists.
For four more years, so far.
Hopefully, if this happens, Democrats don’t take the high road and lay this at their feet. I hate how the govt. spends my tax dollars but I’d gladly see it used to air non-stop ads about all the horrible shit they do over the next 4+ years on Faux News. Just blast that shit every break until people either listen or get pissed and stop watching.
When they started listening to Democrat leadership instead of going with the momentum, I knew it was over. Pelosi and the gang urged the campaign to stop using “weird” and to court centrists with the Cheyne stunt.
Go ahead, ya swarmy fucks. You think a CEO denying healthcare is the last high profile death, take the last of everything, from those who have so little, and no bunker or hired goons will save you. Mark my words, when backed against a wall, they will lose. History has proven that over and over again.
Die mad about it, Republicans!
This is a fear my therapist and I have talked about. I didn’t understand why children made me uncomfortable to be around. We discovered that it wasn’t about the kid, nor their age, but the perception. And I think some kids pick up on that anxiety.
