Since 38 states would have to agree, you may safely file this under showboating.
It’s yet another misdirect.

Misdirects, keeping media and masses busy while they’re dismantling the republic.

A lot of so called lawmakers and pundits use (social) media to showboat or grandstand, hawk their wares or snake oil, and beg for money.
They’re not interested in engaging with voters; they’re screeching, and the uglier the noise, the wider the reach.

I guess it’s just poorly translated. What they meant to say is that the war started because Putin is a wanker.

TL,DR: spying on users is only bad when the Chynees do it. When rich white male American conservatives do the spying, it’s a-ok.

Which basically means Putin’s gambit has succeeded.

Bro is a weekend sideshow clown at Fox’s.
Of fucking course he’s unfit.
That’s the reason he was nominated.

If anybody (read: Democrats) still maintains any notion that there will be any tradition or decorum on Capitol Hill and in the White House after January 20, better treats this punch in the proverbial face as a fucking wake up call.
The transformation to the fourth reich has already commenced.

Two years?!
I urge you to read up on Germany 1933, after the Nazis won the Nov 1932 general election:
March 1933 a snap election was held where the opposition was hamstrung and many newspapers already banned.
The November 1933 general election ballot only listed on party.
The rest is history.

Two words: banana republic.
You had a good run Murica.
Sorry it had to end like that.

Guess I got lucky. All our girls categorically refuse to use the box unless they're sick or it's New Year's fireworks.
Even when it's literally raining cats and dogs, they still run outside and do their business in the garden.

When you're accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression.

There is a cult of ignorance in the US, and has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.

The French figured out a way to tackle infinite greed and unchecked wealth more than 200 years ago. Bit messy but very effective. Something something cake…

Europe will step up. If we can’t contain or beat Putin* in Ukraine it won’t be long before he’ll attack a Baltic NATO ally.
Unless of course crazy Trump decides to invade a NATO**ally first.

Neither Putin nor Trump can be trusted to honor any deal. They’re both narcissistic sociopaths, incapable of compromise. Any negotiation is a waste of time and effort.
Beating Putin will require the same resolve as it took to defeat Hitler: by surrounding his bunker, leaving him the final choice.

I hope you honour the memory of those perished in the holocaust by arresting the genocidal fascist currently razing Gaza - should he dare showing up.

Per Jan. 10, 2025, the United States of America have “successfully” completed their transformation from republic to banana republic.

Somebody with a criminal record couldn’t get a job as a janitor in the White House, let alone a security clearance.
But when you’re a rich, white, male felon in Murica, they’ll hand you a nuclear football.

Congrats Murica, you have completed your transformation to banana republic.
Today’s sentencing in New York, following the abysmal non-performance of the DoJ, sends a clear message to the American people that rich white lawmakers are above the law and de-facto untouchable.

Watched Cunk on Life last nite and it was the. best. 1h. laugh. I had in a long time.

There’s 76 democrat representatives and 28 democrat senators with a JD in Congress.
And not one of them bothered to actually fight and argue Trumps disqualification per the 14th amendment in front of the DC district court.
Any idea why?!
I’m genuinely curious.

Start by no longer re-posting his crap.
Stop feeding and promoting the troll.
It all appears to be a dog and pony show, a misdirect if you will.
Wonder what he’s scheming while we’re here busy arguing over Don Con rattling his key chain.

I listed both US and international protests since you mentioned you’d only find reports about protests in Israel.
Being used seems to be the standard now in ad-revenue based media, and not just in the US. Fear and anger fed to curated echo chambers to prolong engagement and interaction.

Dems suck at selling.
Republicans on the other hand excel at proclaiming their shit don’t stink.
And Trump convinced his base he’s shitting gold.
But hey, if it makes you feel better, keep blaming the amateur voters instead of the professional politicians.

Last week there were protests at Tisch Hospital & Times Square NY, San Francisco, Tel Aviv, Istanbul, London, Manchester, Berlin, Stockholm, Sydney, and that’s just the first page of Google results.

Garland becoming AG was a Dem choice, thereby not prosecuting Trump & J6 co-conspirators was a Dem choice. Supporting Israel was a Dem choice.
And sucking at selling their many achievements was a Dem choice.
If a politician can’t convince their base to vote for them, it’s hardly the bases fault.

Liberal US media lost interest in Gaza and moved on, just like cons. US media lost interest in caravans and moved on.
Now it’s all about Debile Don, his cabinet of billionaires, sex offenders and crazies, both sides busy rattling their echo chambers.
But there are international news outlets.

Considering dear leader will be busy dismantling the Republic and suspending the Constitution (to circumvent the 22nd amend.), I doubt there will be *any* protests.
As per project 2025, he’ll deploy armed forces to quell protesters, and prosecute anybody speaking up.
Welcome to the fourth Reich.

I think Harris would have been a great choice for many reasons - but truth be told I would have preferred had she been AG instead of VP under Biden.
Being the former California AG, she would have dealt with Don Con & his J6 posse in Congress.
PS: Garland, btw, was Biden’s greatest blunder.

They do. Maybe not with you, but they do.
There are protests every week, literally all around the world. There’s an international arrest warrant out for Netanyahu.
I understand your frustration, but don’t reduce the mass murder of Palestinians to a domestic campaign stunt.
comment in response to

Explain why Clinton didn’t lose popular votes compared to Obama, but Harris lost 6.9 million popular votes compared Biden.
Also, please don’t pretend there are no more protests reg. Israel’s genocide, that’s a lie.
You’re conflating an imaginary GOP bogeyman with an actual humanitarian crisis.
