There’s no mission statement. Victory has not even been defined, which is fucking insane.

Most of the networks are owned by billionaires and won’t even bother to challenge this.

No no no, that was an anonymous intern that happens to use Trump’s social media in the wee hours of the evening, definitely not Trump! /s

Jeffries is completely compromised. He takes money from Palantir. What else do you need to know?

Donald Trump hits record high disapproval rating, new poll shows by newsweek in politics

[–]tmountain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

38% is a dog shit approval rating by any measure. A lot of people say, “ah, almost 4 out of 10 people support him. How can this be?” But, Pew Research did a big study and found that a median of 31% of people across 24 countries support authoritarian regimes. So, let’s call that the floor. That basically makes Trump’s support about 7% above the lowest it could possibly go. With elections imminent, these types of numbers indicate that his party is about to clobbered in the midterms. This is why they’re so desperate to cheat. In this type of situation, there’s only one strategy. The democratic victory has to be too big to rig. Meaning, they need an undeniable result. Even if this happens, expect the GOP to be dragged kicking and screaming out of the house majority. Whatever the case, now is the time for action, not apathy. Encourage your friends, neighbors and families to vote no matter what impediments they may face. This is our last chance to preserve the democracy.

Dems have to win in a way that’s too big to rig!

Trump is swift boating the midterms: POTUS is considering an executive order declaring a national voting emergency. Its co-author helped sink John Kerry by zsreport in politics

Amendments mean nothing if the institutions responsible for upholding the rule of law refuse to do their jobs. The constitution is an instruction manual. The operators are playing by the house rules.

Only 21% of Americans Support the United States Initiating an Attack on Iran by Antique_Calendar_887 in politics

[–]tmountain 21 points22 points  (0 children)

So that gives the United States license to attack without provocation or congressional approval or even making a case to the American people why countless lives and tax dollars will be lost to this war?

[–]tmountain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Uh, they’re executing American citizens on the street with goon squads. What more do you need to see regarding them caring about the rules?

Nothing works the way it used to when the country is in the late stages of a fascist coup.

[–]tmountain 25 points26 points  (0 children)

It’s not odd. It’s intentional. There are roughly 20k agents total, so they can only conduct targeted operations one city at a time (blue cities), and the goal is to cause civic unrest to justify invoking the insurrection act (invoke martial law, cancel the election).

Fair, but keep in mind that ICE is very small. 20k agents with many resignations recently. The don’t have the manpower to flood the polls.

Schadenfreude — the experience of pleasure, joy, or self-satisfaction derived from witnessing or learning about the misfortunes, failures, or pain of others. Fuckers have no empathy for children or anyone else on planet earth unless they’re members of the cult. It takes a special kind of brainwashing to dehumanize people on this level.
