I already don't buy from Unilever and target isn't a thing in my country. I am seriously considering dropping Amazon but that one will be tricky, admittedly

Jesus, didn't we settle the whole 'phones cause cancer' bollocks 20 years ago when we realised that, you know, phones don't actually cause cancer? Next he'll be wanting to tear down the 5g masts!

Or just stand in the field dancing, because they're actually all out of work actors in costumes, like his "prototype" was

Who's gonna tell Elmo's kids that when they grow up, they'll all get bald and fat and literally all the money in the world won't help?

Fuck, I read the post before I checked the author.... Thought it was next week already!

You forget the neo-con mantra: rules for thee, but not for me

Within a year or two, he'll be having people rounded up and dumped in 'camps' in new Mexico. No need for showers there - just put them in tin huts without any water in the desert

Elmo's robots, I guess...

Trump: "Those of you who are brown and were not born here, leave now. For those of you who were born here - calm down, we'll get to you soon"

Seems to me that organising national strikes would be a good way to start. And perhaps boycotting the big chains once a month. Even once a week - every Friday, perhaps. Start hitting them in their wallets.

I fear winning your country back may no longer be on the cards. You may have to take it back...

His actions are driven by project 2025. It is the literal playbook for what he's doing right now

Why would they bother counting? They are going to do everything they can to not need to be elected to office ever again.

At this point, he doesn't even feel the need for SCOTUS. He's simply ignoring the orders he doesn't want to follow, then screeching to have the judge issuing the border impeached. No need for appeals

It's rule by dictat. Or, more simply, a dictatorship.

Would you just look at those brave, brave brown shirts! Bravely hiding their faces! Such brave, brave men!

And in the meantime, they get deported never to be seen again or never able to go back. The courts can pass whatever rulings they like then if the point is moot

For now

Those tattoos of his are all very 'aryan brotherhood'. That is to say, I've never seen a white nationalist without one or more of them

The naked fascism on display here is just staggering. And the uniformed, jackbooted thugs don't even have the stones to show their damn faces. Worse is that the regime filmed this knowing that their followers and apologists will cheer it in and declare it a show of strength

...and then they came for me...

And the rest joined to openly become fascists

Kill Nazis while you can, Scott. I have the feeling that it may become a banned pastime in the USA in the not too distant future...

Doesn't sound like a very sweet pot, to me. Especially with the job market being what it is. Sounds like they still have every incentive to do their job and get paid and make him work to try and get the out

Bigger than the question of "how will he fund it?" is simply "why?" What does it gain anyone, what is the purpose?

Sadly MAGA will see that as a love letter and ringing endorsement of him

Denying vaccines and trying to prevent access because of some deeply held, if misguided, convictions I can understand and argue against (sometimes successfully, even). Doing it for money is just fucking evil.

The "European Council on Foreign Relations" is not a government organisation, just naked to sound like one. They're a right-wing organisation who, predictably enough, have put their own spin on the poll. It's absolutely meaningless

Hunter pleaded guilty and has accepted that he is culpable, criminally. However, if I were president and my child was in the same position, I would do the same thing. Any parent would, regardless of party affiliation. Show me someone who says they wouldn't and I'll show you a liar
comment in response to post
The American penal system is full of innocent people who've been railroaded or highroaded by the justice system. If you think that only the guilty can be prosecuted, you've been watching too many Dick Wolfe shows

If they try to force it, Linux is a thing. Or sell it and get a MacBook. But it will likely just die quietly, like cortana did, when no-one uses it

How so? You have to switch recall on, it's not enabled by default
comment in response to post
You also have to go into the settings and switch it on, since it's not on by default
