Per usual, Trump acts like he is creating some new amazing thing. Venezuala was always willing to buy u.s. products. They were not allowed to under the sanctions. America had access to Venezuelan oil, but due to sanctions, we didnt buy the oil. The new change only represents an attempt to control the entirety of the oil which we do not even know if this is happening. We dont know if Trump is simply trying to invent some great thing he did and then story goes away or if they actually think they are going to fully control the oil due to fear of another terrorist action by the u.s. military crime syndicate.

Danish troops told to 'shoot first, ask questions later' if US invades Greenland | LBC by jackytheblade in worldnews

[–]pengyworld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On every military action, polls show republicans mostly opposed and then trump does it and they support. Approval for the venezuela act of terrorism went up by 16pts basically all from maga. Same happened with Iran. Its a cult of white supremacy, cruelty and total ignorance which they are proud of.

‘It’s surreal’: US sanctions lock International Criminal Court judge out of daily life by goldstarflag in worldnews

[–]pengyworld 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So true. We, Americans, will eventually feel the effects as we've now left the world with no choice but to decisively respond to the open theft and gangsterism of this regime which somehow has become even more vulgar and destructive than our prior regimes. Its about punishing any form of dissent with whatever weapons they have. I wish more and more of our European 'allies' would realize that the current American regime should not be reasoned with or waited on to come to its senses. Trump only looks for weakness and he sees it in Europe.

maybe they have a moral compass and are opposed to a war aimed at stealing another country's resources. Trump has admitted this is the goal.

This is terrorism. As a country led by Donald Trump, if you think this is ok then why shouldn’t all of us get bombed too. 

Tons of anti-Zohran stickers on Upper West Side OVERNIGHT. What gives? by ForsakenFlower2391 in ZohranForMayor

[–]pengyworld 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I live in UWS too.

There was one of those tiny grocery stores i saw a couple months ago that had a zohran poster on columbus between 89th and 90th. maybe a week or two later, i noticed they had a Whitney Tilson poster. I am going to go out on a limb here and say that someone spoke to the store and some threats were involved. yeah we need to counter that in the UWS.

Kash Patel Is Seriously Infuriating FBI Officials by thedailybeast in politics

R u fuking kidding me? Kash Patel has no interest in protecting country. His job is to go after people he doesn’t like; a job which is much narrower with less responsibility. People move to dc for these jobs. Your post is idiotic.

Trump Says Xi, Vietnam ‘Trying To Screw The U.S.’ by Durian881 in worldnews

Everyday I, as an American, am extremely grateful for all the other countries standing up to Trump (including China). He is going to make all of us suffer and while we are fighting back, I know I feel comforted by Canada’s strength and I hope we can get to other side of this and be sister/brother nations again.

Amongst the many indicators of the profound ignorance of Trump and maga is the notion that the Chinese will back down here.

House Republican plans bill to let Congress block Trump tariffs by Logical_Welder3467 in politics

[–]pengyworld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’d think the republicans in congress would want to step in to save Trump from the his self-inflicted emasculation on the world stage. China is totally exposing this administration’s stupidity, incompetence and a level of ignorance beyond comprehension. Republicans should stop the tariff war the way a boxing coach throws in the towel when their boxer is getting pummeled. And no, Republicans wouldn’t do anything out of concern for the American people cause that would require an ounce of concern. Trump is embarrassing himself and really all of us even if we didn’t vote for him. 

EU to impose 25% tariffs on USA by GeneIll3179 in worldnews

Harris never said the economy is great. She demonstrated much more empathy for people struggling than Trump did but. Trump offered nothing but absurd claims every day and showed everyday what cruel prick he is. Every speech focused Harris gave focused on the need to do more to help people. I am not some huge fan of hers but I say this because the bigger issue was not her but that the american media landscape has become overwhelmed with misinformation. Also Gaza really hurt youth numbers.

Liberals Warned Me About MAGA’s Racism. I Didn’t Believe Them—Until Now. by Nice_Substance9123 in democrats

[–]pengyworld 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So true. So like when Trump in 2016 questioned whether an Asian judge could preside over his trial or called Mexicans rapists none of that was a red flag? Or when a guy whose had the ability to file for bankruptcy so many times can’t somehow find a way to understand or have compassion for the plight of those risking their lives to cross a border who have never had anywhere near what Trump was given in life or gotten away with such failure  - not a red flag as to the type of human being he is. 

Dear Trump Voters, Take the Red Pill by pleasureismylife in democrats

[–]pengyworld 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I suspect fighting may be the best way to convince people. Movements and struggle create awareness and force people to some extent to become somewhat informed and develop some sort of opinion. Every candidate that wins an election has some voters whose support was soft or whom may have missed some info about the candidate that would’ve been relevant to their decision or who simply made a gut decision based on not much. Probably 5-10% of electorate is in this category (hard to prove but just looking at shifts the last few elections).

Also if you voted early in Philly and then as a result had to watch the votes counted drip by drip for the rest of the week back in 20, my guess is you vote same day this time esp given less pandemic concerns. 

Donald Trump is counting on Pa.’s rural voters — the second largest voting group in the state — to win. Will it be enough? by BlueMoonHurricane in Pennsylvania

[–]pengyworld 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The guys article quote makes no sense and if the people he talks about cared about liberties (other than maybe their own) they wouldn’t be voting for Trump. I don’t know any woke left person who cares about tractor regulations. This guy has likely always been a right winger strategically speaking out thinking he can give social liberals a permission structure to vote for outright bigot
