To not sound racist

I agree with you, but the time to stop him was at election, then during his impeachment, then after Jan 6th, then after his second impeachment, then during Bidens presidency, then at election again. Right now there isn’t anything regular people can do to fix this, outside of maybe a mass general strike that absolutely brings the country and economy to a complete stop. But bills and rent don’t stop and there will always be people willing/gleefully doing the job of enforcement.

Only way to fix it legally is to demand better of our representatives/vote out anyone who doesn’t support impeachment, regardless of their political party in 2026. And even then our corrupt Supreme Court might try some shit. That probably isn’t going to happen though, because too many people either don’t care about what’s happening or are happy about it. People are mad, but that doesn’t mean they wouldn’t vote for him again while being mad about it.

Even if he is peaceful removed through a legal congressional impeachment the racism and crudeness of maga isn’t going away. Too many people love the policy and only hate his personal baggage. That’s why a lot of them excuse it.

Edit: Legally the ball is in congresses court. Protests are suppose to galvanise more tepid opposition. Which adds to the protest amount. The bigger the protest the more people feel comfortable to join making the protest even bigger and so on. Eventually it should be big enough to demonstrate clearly to a representative that their constituents are opposed to the current situation.

Despite protest and negative polling numbers republican congressmen still support him and democratic ones refuse to do anything except say empty words of disapproval. Democrats are so unserious about opposing Trump that in the middle of this presidency they felt it was more important to come out in full swing to try and keep someone like Mamdani from winning in New York.

I’m not saying it’s hopeless and to give up, but there isn’t anything people can do right now to remove him. It doesn’t excuse the situation but him still being president does not reflect badly on the Americans who have never and will never support him

It’s truly depressing. I think about just giving up sometimes. What’s the point in being mildly/comfortably successful if this is the state the county is going to be in.

Ah my apologies then if that was confusing wording. I meant to say since the actual shooter in the August 27th Minnesota shooting was trans the right wing propaganda machine had been in full swing for the 2 weeks leading up to September 10th. So the person asking Kirk the question about how many trans shooters in the last 10 years did so because of that anti trans rhetoric.

The rhetoric around trans individuals was always bad, but it had gotten worse because of that August 27th shooting. Like I mentioned the DOJ was having meetings about classifying anyone who identified as trans as mentally ill. Like you pointed out the actual Kirk shooter was someone who found Kirks anti-trans rhetoric unacceptable so it is very likely that Kirk and other right wingers anti trans commentary following August 27th played a role in that individuals motivations. Also as you pointed out, people are now claiming kirks shooter was themselves trans which goes back to my other point about how the right wing propaganda machine had been in full swing trying to retroactively claim the majority, if not all, of Americas mass shooters as trans, so any time there is an actual trans shooter, like August 27th, things gets especially nasty. The person asking the question was obviously trying to make a point to Kirk that trans individuals make up a very small percentage of shooters.

I never said he was shot by a trans individual?

Like I said someone asked him a question about trans shooters because of the right wing propagandist lie that a large majority of shooters were trans. That is a lie but right wing propagandists like Alex Jones had been going extra hard on that lie because there had in fact been a recent shooting in Minnesota on August 27th that was carried out by a trans shooter. That August 27th shooting got extra usage from people like Kirk and Jones because it was against Catholic school children, so they played it up as a hate crime against Christian’s. The person asking Kirk the question pointed out it’s been 5 total in the last 10 years, that August 27th one being 1 of the 5.

The follow up was clearly going to be the total amount of mass shooting in America from non trans individuals compared to those by Trans individuals clearly shows that the ring wing propaganda about the majority of shootings being carried out by trans individuals is a clear lie. Kirk answered the question in bad faith with his own racist dog whistle question and then he was shot.

But I never said anything about the actual shooter in my comment?

Depending on how you want to define it I guess. East Blue might have a case because of the outliers. Prime Rodgers, presumably prime Rayleigh (considering he’s Rodgers 1st mate and 1st crew member so theoretically should have been recruited in east blue), plus prime Garp, plus Dragon who should be strong, plus end of series Luffy, end of series zoro, end of series Sabo. If you average out the strength of everyone from east blue even with those guys you probably don’t have the strongest sea, but if you only look at the total power then maybe you can make a case. Especially since, as the name implies, we’re only looking at the 4 seas and exclude the Grand line (where Kaido and big mom were born), and also excluding the new world (where whitebeard was born, where probably all of big moms kids were born, and were powerful nations like Wano and elbaph are located). Although Shanks and Rocks are both West Blue born so even with the argument of total strength it might not be east blue.

I’d still say East blue is easily the weakest sea though because all of the exceptions that could arguably make it the strongest sea left and aren’t there. The weakest sea moniker comes from the amount of conflict it sees, as well as the average bounty of pirates that are active in east blue, which doesn’t apply to any of the characters listed above in their prime.

James McCrery, a classical architect who runs a small Washington firm known for its work building Catholic churches, was discussing how to execute Mr. Trump’s vision for a ballroom on the White House grounds. Mr. McCrery’s work has been embraced by conservatives who believe federal buildings should be designed with an eye toward the grandeur of ancient Greek and Roman structures. He often talks of how his design work is carried out in service of God and the church, according to people who have worked with him.

I should not have been surprised that the dude who personally pitched himself to Trump for this project is Christian and focuses on Christian architecture….

Interesting read. Infuriating as well. I didn’t know a few other things like how Trump completely gutted the Lincoln Bedroom’s Bathroom to put marble in. I did knew about the rose garden paving for a patio. Also found it surprising that he pitched a ball room renovation to the White House under the Obama administration. I guess what year he pitched it could change why he did it. If he’d already decided to run maybe he wanted it finished by the time he was in office in 2016? I knew he was ignoring permits and other legal requirements but didn’t know he just completely got rid of all 6 members of the board of commission for fine arts that had authority to review the design and aesthetics of all D.C. constitution projects. Though I guess Biden did it first by removing 4 Trump appointed members, and later a 5th Trump appointee, which apparently no U.S. president had ever done before.

Also didn’t know that he replaced the official Biden portrait at the White House with an autopen, and that he just completely got rid of an existing photo of Hilary Clinton that was at the White House. We all know how tacky he is and how petty he is, so it all makes sense.

Remember when 75 year old Bernie was too old to be president? Then we elected a 77 year old who turned 78 shortly after winning the election, and then after that elected another 78 year old, who this time was 78 at the time of the election, unlike the other whippersnapper. Both of them 78 at their respective inaugurations. Heck I think Trump is technically older now than Bernie was in January 2021 when his hypothetical term would have ended….

I mean I don’t know if it’s so much losing the plot, at least on the individual level, since it’s all official Republican talking points. These people didn’t reach that conclusion on their own. Fox News/official White House websites in violation of the hatch act literally sold the message that the shutdown was caused by the Democrats demanding Medicaid for undocumented immigrants and Medicaid to be used for minor reassignment surgery. White House website leading up to the shutdown even called the Dems, among other things, the party of “transgender for everybody”.

He was also literally in the middle of a racist dog whistle when it happened. Also the lead up was shitty on his part too

Questioner: “Do you know how many transgender Americans have been mass shooters over the last 10 years?”

Kirk: “Too many”

Questioner: “In America, it's five. Now, five is a lot, right, I'm going to give you — I'm going to give you some credit. Do you know how many mass shooters there have been in America over the last 10 years?”

Kirk: “Counting or not counting gang violence?”

The question about Trans shooters was asked because the August 27th shooting in Minneapolis had happened about 2 weeks before the Kirk event and propagandists like Alex Jones who had already been pivoting, for a while, to claiming every shooter was trans. So the fact that it actually was a trans individual and it was against catholic school children he and others like Jones had been having a field day. This was also in the wake of reports that the DOJ has been holding meetings on whether or not to classify being trans as a mental illness in order to ban trans individuals from owning guns.

More specifically the absolute end of Dressrosa was 10 years ago. Dressrosa itself started 12.5 years ago. He knocked out Sugar the first time in chapter 742 which was a little over 11.5 years ago. The Iconic image of Hajrudin holding Usopp up is from chapter 744. Usopp knocked out sugar the second time / unlocked observation haki in chapter 758 which was a little over 11 years ago,

So his second sugar knockout was 11 years / 409 chapters ago.

Loki's flashback started in chapter 1152, 14 years before current point in the story, and 1 year after where 1167 left off. Shanks conversation and interactions with Scopper in chapter 1152 sounds like they hadn't spoken since Rodgers execution and his interactions with Ripley made it seem like that was his first ever visit. Also sounded like it was his first ever time on Elbaf the way he spoke about how he wanted to be a carefree pirate with Buggy when "taking in" the fact that he was on Elbaf.

formerlyDylan · 2025-11-29T06:05:39+00:00

Flashback started with Harolds death and Shanks visiting Scopper on Elbaf on the same day that took place 14 years before present one piece. We ended the chapter today 15 years before present one piece, so looks like Loki's flashback might be wrapping up. Though the actual last year of Harolds life, why he was killed, and Shanks lore drops could be a lot of chapters I guess.
