    What can you say to that? The Americans knew what they were getting into. They elected a fascist to power who is abolishing democracy. In case you didn’t know it yet, let me tell you: America is on the way to becoming a dictatorship.

      The American politicians basically barred the ability for any other party to get into power, until people gave up going to vote, and fascism won by a third of the votes.

      It all started before the Red Scare. The moment the Robber Barons got their plans thwarted, they started planning so it would never happen again, and they played the long, long game.

    Illegal protests.

    Okay so since protests are an expression of opinion, and you got that pesky first amendment, all protests are legal, so this tweet is a nothing burger.

      They’re nice to give you a list of what they fear would be the most effective. The tree of liberty extremely needs to be watered with its natural manure. Get off your lazy ass americunts, stop the fucking cancer or I will destroy space for 500 years.

    I’m not in his district but I was so impressed by Rep. AL Green’s (https://algreen.house.gov/about) courage in standing up to and calling out Krasnov’s and the GOP’s lies yesterday that I wanted to donate some money. Unlike all the impotent, sclerotic clowns who call themselves the Dem “leadership” and constantly ask me for money whilst the most they do are write “Strongly worded letters” and finger wagging, Rep. Green’s website was all about service to his district. I literally could not find a way to donate to him. But he is now a hero of mine. If only HE or one of the few with his courage and fire were leading the Dems. I wish he were 20 years younger. He’d have made a great president.

    We really need to tax the mega rich. I compiled this list of numbers after the President speech last night, it’s kinda wild:

    $            99,000 - National Median Income is less than $100 thousand.
    $         1,000,000 - 1 Million Dollars.
    $       485,000,000 - Cut Funds to International Relations and whatever.
    $     1,000,000,000 - 1 Billion Dollars. There are over 400 Billionaires in America.
    $    22,000,000,000 - Cut Funds to American Social Serivces through HHS (Human & Health Services).
    $   244,000,000,000 - Elon Musks Net Worth.
    $ 1,620,000,000,000 - 1 Trillion Dollars - Meta (Facebooks) Corporate Net Worth.
    $19,900,000,000,000 - The U.S. National Debt in Jan 2017 (Obama to Trump)
    $27,800,000,000,000 - The U.S. National Debt in Jan 2021 (Trump to Biden)
    $36,000,000,000,000 - The U.S. National Debt in Jan 2025 (Biden to Trump)

    Too bad Dems just set the precedent for him to do this. And make no mistake, they will help Trump serve Israel before they help us oppose him.

      Yeah. It had nothing at all to do with the ninety fucking million people that didn’t vote. I wonder how many of those were the smug entitled stay at home single issue assholes there were whining And yelling at everyone here all the way to November.

        Calling genocide opposition ‘single-issue voting’ is tantamount to Holocaust denial. Weird hill to die on.

          News flash bud: Everyone is in opposition to genocide.

          Regardless of whatever bullshit accusation you hurl at people. Refusing to vote because you manufactured enough outrage to believe your own bullshit is absolutely defined as single-issue voting. You know this shit was going to happen- and you knew it was going to be exponentially worse under Trump- but you stood aside anyway.

          Take your bow.

          And what? I get that you’re fishing for reasons to report people for as that is what you do, but anyone can see that there is nothing at all even close to resembling “holocaust denial” about anything I said, so you can go ahead and put that little straw man away- it’s not going to work on me.

              Oh they do. But it’s apparently far too complicated for you to understand and sadly, I lost my patience to explain it to you people back in November.

              Be wrong.

                  …. Says the person that is somehow able to rationalize that doing nothing at all can bring the change you demand from others.

                  Because as we all know: History is RIFE with examples of people not doing jack-shit while reaping the benefits of their inaction.

    Trump is following Hitler’s cookbook: change the schools, small kids are easier to form/change than adults. I only hope teachers keep teaching what is honest and good!

    I wonder how will be the US’s method for ‘accidental demise’ moving foward.
    Defenestration is already taken by Russia, but Trump is not that original, so I’m guessing he’ll use the same method, considering he’s working form Putin and all.
