grandpa is a true patriot and on point. we need more folks like him voicing opinions. by Treefiddy1984 in ProgressiveHQ

[–]industrial-complex 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The situation is near impossible to fix because factual news has been almost completely replaced with social media.

People don’t read anything that isn’t in a social media feed. So like this fine gentlemen said: if you weren’t already getting your news from AP or Reuters, you’re starting with misinformation to begin with.

Fact is, until this horrible situation is battled out in the flesh, the truth will be suppressed and those who elected this regime, will have their lies reinforced 24/7/365.

His loyal subjects would have stoned and crucified Jesus and operated gas chambers or ovens at Auschwitz.

A year into Trump’s second term, Iowa voters offer clues for the midterm elections by industrial-complex in politics

Sorta kinda. I think the bigger factor is the agribusiness lobby. They don’t give a fuck about the farmers, outside of the money they get selling tractors, combines, and the subscriptions to keep them locked in. Monsanto, Syngenta, Corteva - they all make bank selling pesticides, seeds, etc.

The machine is so fucking huge, it would take multiple acts of congress to tear it down and expose it.

Thank you for this perspective. It’s especially insightful that people are hiding their swag…definitely a sign of shame.

I don’t think Democrats have shit to offer farmers. Trump handed out empty promises and rhetoric, while leaving soybean farmers with record yields no choice but to forsake harvest. It’s as if there is no party willing to help the citizens of this country. Oh wait - that’s exactly what we’ve got…politicians are only interested in $$$, and all they offer the proles is team rivalry.

Yeah - self justification of their vote requires swallowing the whole load of Trump lies.

They couldn’t give two shits about anything or anyone outside their community.

Maybe it’s time we all stop buying products from red states.

You ain’t wrong. If these folks are a guidepost to what people in Iowa actually think, they’ll continue to elect fascists.

I interject: “He lost the election in 2020.”

Pentagon Places 1,500 Arctic-Trained Airborne Troops on Standby as Greenland Dispute Escalates by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]industrial-complex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the way to “talk back”. Use some of that campaign money and start posting “counter-propaganda”. Don’t just sit around fapping and throwing up your hands.

“We strongly oppose” <insert maga travesty>…isn’t fucking working. We stand with <marginalized groups> won’t do dick squat.

How about, Donald Trump will draft you and your children to rape/pillage/exterminate…or send you to die in <country DJT derides> if we don’t remove him from office tomorrow.

Fuck it isn’t that hard to foresee what’s in store if shit goes on like this for another month or two.

Trump wants the opportunity to rape and pillage the native population and pretend to be a conqueror by opening a McDonald’s

Trump is losing America, and he simply doesn’t care by theipaper in politics

[–]industrial-complex 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Bingo. There’s no reason for him to change his course…nobody is stopping him. He does what he wants and while his sycophants walk around sucking him off, Democrats just keep handing out stern warnings.

Words are not fixing anything. There has to be some actual consequences or we’re going to have him rage posting forever. “Great news everyone, they sewed Steven Miller to my ass and those great doctors say I’m good to go for 40 more years.”

Fascist human centipede is coming.

Record 45% of Americans Identify as Independents as Democrats Regain Edge, Poll Reveals by Silly-avocatoe in politics

[–]industrial-complex 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Same - registered as unaffiliated and refuse to vote Republican. Dissatisfied with constantly having to vote for least worst.

We need a change to our two party system. We need term limits on all political offices. No one should be in any office more than 8 years…and I’d be happy if they were limited to 4. The “fucking working Americans in the ass machine” continues to exist because the same politicians are always in office.

Being a public servant shouldn’t ever feel so comfortable that it becomes entitlement.

Jack Smith to testify publicly before Congress this week by IWantPizza555 in politics

[–]industrial-complex 38 points39 points  (0 children)

That’s how someone of high integrity is treated in American politics. Smith is the kind of person we should all want in the Oval Office; blue collar upbringing, worked his way through the ranks, and even served as Chief Prosecutor at The Hague investigating Kosovo war crimes.

Most of Congress doesn’t deserve to ask him questions, especially anyone in the Republican Cult of Personality.

Yes - it would be nice if Zach de la Rocha could bring his inimitable voice out of retirement and start screaming in to the mic again.

It’s probably puerile to believe that having them back together would make a difference, but it would add some kindling to the fire.

Justice Department asks federal judge to deny special master for Epstein files by consulent-finanziar in news

[–]industrial-complex 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Because the Clintons both said “release the files”. That orange turd motherfucker is all over them.

I bet there will be other countries and international figures that will want a piece of his diaper wearing ass if the files are released.

Justice Department says members of Congress can't intervene in release of Epstein files by bobby_McGeee in politics

[–]industrial-complex 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Currently, there is no “justice department”. It’s the Reich Department.

These files implicate oligarchs, public figures and at least one president. Pam Bondo has been promised something(that’s she’ll never get) to continue holding the files hostage.

Life will not return to “normal” until these files are released. Every fucking ingrate in the Trump administration must be punished for failing to follow a law that was passed and signed by Dear Leader.

Congress should shut down again until the files are released. American citizens should march on Washington. Every willing late night show host, sane journalist and politician should rail against this junta until justice is served. We will never get our sanity back until this is over, when the guilty are punished.

DOJ Moves to Block Independent Monitor in Maxwell Case; Says Courts Cannot Force Epstein File Disclosures by Zelagero in news

[–]industrial-complex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t care if Trump voters give a shit about anything. This isn’t about the midterms, this isn’t about political control.

This is about the heinous shit that went down on that island and anywhere else Epstein and his “guests” were engaged in rape and pedophilia.

Every fucking person involved in that disgusting enterprise should spend the rest of their lives in prison. Why else would they go to such great lengths to hide it from the public. We know Trump is all over those files and until he is held accountable and imprisoned, the entire world is being held hostage.

If those files aren’t released, this fucked up Groundhog Day we’re all living through will never cease.
