And immediately after that, the Firxt Felon will confuse it with J6.
To draw attention away from his disastrous economic moves, he’s now started bombing the shit out of Yemen’s Houthi strongholds. What happened to putting a stop to wars? Sorry el Bloat-o, people are more concerned about how much their next bag of groceries is going to cost. Meanwhile, you’re burning up hundreds of millions on air strikes that are likely to be ineffective.
Better than sending that money to poor people or using it for aid to countries full of non-whites.
I’m sure that’s genuinely how they feel; killing people is virtuous, helping people is evil. Especially if they are poor or non-white.
Pretty sure keeping people (including us in the US) sicker, dumber and poorer is their way of trying to gain control.
And morally virtuous. Suffering is good for you (if you aren’t them), and ignorance & stupidity are virtues to them. In their ideal world the average person knows nothing, never thinks, and is in constant misery.
I recently listened to Paul Simon’s song American Tune and the lyrics made me cry just a bit.
Especially the lyrics that talk about how we lived so well for so long and that we can’t be forever blessed.
I am just thankful that my immediate family are safely deceased and hope I soon follow.
Two of my deceased family members (my parents) voted for this disaster the first time around. They died before they could vote for it again, which they absolutely would have done.
So sorry to hear that.
My mother died in 1985 when times were relatively sane. At least they were when viewed from the current perspective.
My father died in 2010 and my son in 2008.
So they were long gone before the current toxicity flourished.
My parents were both Democrats so I imagine they would have been appalled at the situation we are in but I can’t say for certain how they would have voted. People are unpredictable.
I just kind of hate being the last one standing in this muck lol.
Typical Trumpian bullying. Shove someone who can’t defend themselves, claim victory, and he’ll spend the rest of his term talking about how he singlehandedly saved global trade while high seas piracy continues unabated.
I was born 5 days before the JFK assassination and 10 years later during watergate I remember my grandfather reading the newspaper and musing “I don’t know what this world is coming to?” Little did he know.
Country Joe:
What are we fighting for. Don’t ask me I don’t give a damn. Next stop is Viet - nam
Did he / will be bother to notify congress under the “War Powers Act” which I just said in the “Avatars” thread he will inevitably defy.
This is just his precedence for “I can bomb whoever I want”
Further along in the article, there’s this great summation of the mis/maladministration:
What do you know? There’s a flaw in the Firxt Felon’s plan regarding education!
This is yet another stunt which will not age well. (Just like the stunt-er.) Any judge this comes in front of will simply point to his own words during the first felonial era which contradicted his lawyers’ assertions to the court and the current felonial era in which his own words–you saw this coming, didn’t you?–contradicted his lawyers’ assertions to the court.
I debated putting this in another thread, but given we’re in the 2nd Felonial Era which, of course, is marked by doublespeak, a teacher in Idaho is being punished because “reasons”.
So, what’s the problem with that message? If you’re standing, sit down. If you’re sitting down, lay on the floor. If you’re on the floor, you’re screwed.
So, she didn’t put up an accompanying sign saying nobody’s welcome. The school said she’s violating a policy.
Right. Telling everyone they’re welcome in the classroom is not conducive to a positive learning environment. But, hey, I think I’m agreeing with the school administration on one thing. Not everyone is welcome in that classroom. The unwelcome person is a good teacher.
If you guys need some perspective, Harris went on stage with family of the original dark lord.
Somebody who actually manufactured a war, killing hundreds of thousands to make a buck. The administration that worked for him made torture official US policy, they “legalized” kidnapping. (Made up fancy words for that shit “extraordinary rendition”)
Compared to the actual killers and torturers of the administrations of Bush the lesser, Trumps cronies are positively harmless.
Try again.
(Edited to truncate unnecessary snark. Apologies, still processing my coffee.)
I somewhat agree with you. But I do think there is a moral difference between deaths through indifference/incompetence and actually shooting them.
I personally hold Trump responsible for the deaths of millions of Americans due to his promoting covid misinformation, denialism, and quack remedies instead of just telling people to stay home and wear masks.
If that’s all it were, you might have an argument, however flimsy. But these withdrawals of foreign aid are not about neglect and ignorance. This is conscious cruelty and racism: let those worthless poor brown people rot.
Edit to add: Needless to say, of course, it’s also a spectacular level of ignorance. The money given away in USAid and similar programs does, ultimately, have a self-serving purpose: we should keep those people healthy at home so they don’t come to the US. But even that kind of two-step semi-sophisticated thinking is beyond this shower of nasty-minded idiots.
They are also a punishment of the American populace to for hurting Trump’s feelings. Someone goes against his dictates and they deserve nothing other than the most extreme response. And now that he’s in the Oval Office yet again and sadly, he has the ability to exact that.
Don’t forget that the “world was on fire” under Biden. Glad Trump’s calmed things down with friend and foe alike the world over.
