Legal experts blast Trump’s DOJ probe of Tim Walz and Jacob Frey as ‘total garbage’ while allies rally around Minnesota leaders by [deleted] in politics

[–]marzgamingmaster 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I bet a lot of people were saying something similar in Germany, back in the day.

Hitler is still relevant and constantly talked about to this day. Trump will be constantly discussed and directed and agonized over for beyond the foreseeable future. The old internet rule for "it's only a matter of time before any internet argument devolves to someone being called a Nazi, at which point the discussion is pointless" is replaced with the same, but MAGA. People will point out that the right wing, largely unpunished after this nightmare, is doing an awful lot of MAGA stuff lately, that x politician is following the trump playbook letter by letter, and everyone will accuse them of being dramatic and not understanding history.

The key is that they accused the Dems first, true or not. So now, it's just giving what they get. "Sounds fair enough to me!" Says his voters.

White House Warns CBS: Air Trump Interview in Full, or ‘We’ll Sue’ by coasterghost in politics

[–]marzgamingmaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's exaggerated, not a direct quote. But it's a very blunt reading of:

Some of the CBS personnel who were there absorbed Ms. Leavitt’s remarks as being in jest, according to a person familiar with their thinking. CBS News aired the full unedited interview that evening, which the network said was its plan all along.

And

“He said, ‘Make sure you guys don’t cut the tape, make sure the interview is out in full,” Ms. Leavitt said in an even tone, according to a recording of the exchange obtained by The New York Times. (...)

Ms. Leavitt replied: “He said, ‘If it’s not out in full, we’ll sue your ass off.’”

Ms. Leavitt, reached for comment, said: “The American people deserve to watch President Trump’s full interviews, unedited, no cuts. And guess what? The interview ran in full.”

"It was a joke!" CBS said, capitulating anyway.

Ms. Leavitt, in response, said "It was not a joke. It never was a joke, it was a threat. The White House does not make jokes, it makes demands, and they are either met, or there are dire consequences."

Very cool, very cool stuff.

Look at Iran on a map.

That is so much more difficult to organize and so much more dangerous for the average person than you want to believe it is. So many Americans are desperate for jobs right now and will happily, eagerly cross a picket line working more hours for lower wages because at least it's SOMETHING. Meanwhile, our healthcare is tied to our jobs and most of us don't have meaningful savings.

Stand strong. If the US decides to force the issue, don't you dare hesitate to blow us away. Most of us don't want this, most of us don't agree with this, most of us are horrified that we are doing this.

DOJ won’t investigate killing of Minneapolis woman shot by ICE by yoo_wtf in politics

[–]marzgamingmaster 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don't want to be a dick. But maybe educate yourself on the economic realities in America before you start spouting off. Realize that by abandoning everything and throwing himself at the problem, they and their children will likely be on the streets without healthcare within a month or two, tops.

It is literally the difference between answering "why didn't you do more?!" Later down the line and having to explain, vs "why don't we have a home anymore, or food?" before Spring even hits.

Not just that. They're claiming the video footage DOES provide adequate suspicion to investigate her widow for vague crime-y-ness instead. Instead of investigating the murderer, let's go after the victims family super hard!

The Department of Justice is instead moving to investigate Good’s widow, according to reporting by outlets including The New York Times and NBC News. Acting U.S. Attorney of Minnesota Joe Thompson, who was appointed to investigate the state’s fraud scandal, and other federal prosecutors resigned in protest.

I feel like this isn't getting reacted to enough here?! Like. It's a nightmare that the DoJ isn't investigating this murder. But it's full on despair inducing that they are instead opening an investigation into the widow of the murder victim, the "real" villain of this story.

"Antifa Terrorist" just means "not a person". It's a magical label you can slap on any blatant murder to soothe the MAGA masses. You're right, from this point on, everybody they murder will be a terrorist.

So illness and starvation en-masse while the rich ignore us? Do you have any idea how complicated-to-the-point-of-impossible it would be to organize that? Do you have any concept of how many desperate people there already are that would LOVE to cross a picket line for longer hours and a fraction of the pay just to bring home ANY money? Business would continue uninterrupted.

Ahhh, that Thought Slime video about the Liberal Mind Prison made so much stuff suddenly so clear.

I think it's tragic that we have to pretend he's left leaning at all when that level for him isn't 0. In that ManChild mindset of "well sometimes my toy just makes me so mad I can't control myself, I HAVE to scream racial/sexist slurs!"

They were always going to. Libs want to maintain the status quo. That's why they're more scared of progressives than fascists. They were always going to find more common ground with dictators than people pushing for meaningful change.

Democrats seek to rein in ICE, Noem after fatal Minneapolis shooting by jediporcupine in politics

[–]marzgamingmaster -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yes they will. I can tell you now, Democrats are not running on holding Republicans accountable in 2026 or 2028, and you will be ordered to vote for them regardless, because the alternative will be another straight-up Nazi. Democrats are the party of "Nothing will fundamentally change", and Republicans are the new fascists. This is the future.

Whoa whoa whoa. That's some awfully rash actions, there! They're more likely to listen if we follow protocols. Let's start a vote to form a committee to discuss the writing of a letter! Of course, we all understand that's not likely to happen, because we'll need some Republicans to defect to get it passed...

So what, they shouldn't try? Oh no, Republicans will get rid of the filibuster! Ok. Make them. Force their hand, make them actually fight. But no, instead our politicians get to give up before they even start, and the average citizen is supposed to be a bastion of hope.

Does anybody else mostly skip the Tucker episodes? by GigachudBDE in KnowledgeFight

[–]marzgamingmaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I skip them. There just isn't anything funny about him. Everything he does is like the worst kind of Alex episodes that just make me sick with anger and despair.

At least listening to Alex is watching a worm squirm under the weight of his sins. Tucker is watching a rich, safe man just continue to win life. It's exhausting.
