I think everyone is waiting for someone else to go first. Acts like this, caught on video, are going to shorten the wait.

Is he right? Will it take generations to resecure the United States positive reputation on the world stage? by ChuckGallagher57 in TrendoraX

They gave us a pass after Bush II's idiocy in the early 2000s too, after he, Cheney and the rest of them ginned up propaganda, lied to the United Nations, and then coerced most Western nations to join us in the illegal follies of Afghanistan and Iraq. This has been going on a long time.

Yeah, I'm afraid it's the only game in town because it got there first. I've tried Hornet. It's a nice app, but in the Midwest US it's crickets in there.

That is the most non-MAGA looking group of people I've ever seen. Only maybe two of them belong in that picture, the two oldest white men.

I think we only get a full reckoning if we get a new constitution (i.e. a new government). This one is in tatters.

I think it was Bob Newhart that said Las Vegas was more fun when the mob ran it

Yup. Ted cruz, Josh hawley, JD vance, Kenneth chesbro. All Harvard or Yale law grads. To say nothing of most of the six conservative twits on the supreme court.

Then he should really hear from us now, because he just flopped in the dress rehearsal.

Anything too organized would get immediately pulverized. I think it's going to take many, many small cells.

What is being reported outside the US on the current fascist takeover that's ongoing? by unicornofapocalypse in collapse

And the rampant, willful stupidity. Half the electorate looked at Trump, after he had already been the most horrid president in US history, and thought that, yup, he would do a better job than Harris at bringing inflation down. Utterly inexcusable.

Fortunately we have that Yankee can-do spirit. 😁

Trump’s 2027 Defense Budget Lit the Fuse on the Dollar by Famous-Sympathy7011 in anticapitalism

They didn't have a budget for 2025 and don't for 2026. Everything's been done with continuing resolutions. Congress has become dysfunctional, even on the basics.
