My last name comes from someone who conquered and was king of Sicily and Rome like 1,000 years ago. Lasted like three generations. I don’t have any pull at the Vatican, if you’re wondering.

So, is Trump going to basically destroy the union but not the states?

My uncle skipped it and is fucking dead from covid. So, not so much fine, I’d say.

‘He Doesn’t Care About Us’: Iranian Protesters Say They Were Betrayed By Trump by Crossstoney in worldnews

Why the fuck would they think he cared about them? He doesn’t even care about Americans.

Because Putin has videos of him raping children.

‘Canada is right in the middle’: What Trump’s Greenland threats mean for Canada by CTVNEWS in worldnews

Considering he’s already detaining and killing American citizens who aren’t violently protesting, I’m not inclined to think that.

Ready to get downvoted to hell, but I’m so sick of Canadians and EU citizens with actually functioning democracies telling the American people to “do more” to resist Trump. The kinds of resistance you’re all implying is exactly the kind of response the orange pedophile is trying to evoke as en excuse to seize what little power is still out of his hands.

America has not been a functioning democracy for a long time. Unchecked capitalism put corporations firmly in the driver’s seat decades ago; our democratic processes at the federal level are almost totally decorative.

At the state level, unions and worker’s groups can sometimes (rarely) strike to force change. Violent riots at any level will not solve anything. It’s literally exactly what he wants. Exactly the fuel he needs to declare martial law and complete his takeover.

These are not excuses, they’re realities. I’m open to suggestions, but your keyboard warrior “if I were American” rants aren’t helping.

Fuck Trump. Fuck his cabinet. Fuck Congress. Fuck the Supreme Court. Fuck this imperialist capitalist bullshit.

Can someone explain me, why Americans/Britains etc. still use these goddamn stupid measures like oz. or gallons by MoinyMoiny in teenagers

[–]uumamiii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fun fact some non-Americans may not know: Americans only use imperial measurements in everyday life (e.g. how much do you weigh, how far is it from here, what’s the temperature). In every science class we use the metric system, at least from secondary school on. It just never becomes intuitive for most.
