If Nigeria kicks our ass I give up.
Attacked Venezuela. Largest oil reserves in the world.
Bombed Nigeria. Largest oil reserves in Africa.
Expressed an interest in invading Greenland. Guess what?
Sure, i get it, Trump is orange bad boi living the dream in USA or whatever, but you do realise that this type of behaviour isnt new to USA, regardless of what party the president is a member of. USA will continue to bomb odd targets, stage coups and train terrorist groups to do their dirty work.
Yeah, but the US used to be a bit more subtle.
That’s true. However, no matter how good the food tastes, it ends up the same in your belly. Just do the best you can, mind your own business, live a happy life, and do whatever the hell you feel like. As long as you’re not actually hurting anyone, go ahead.
When we start fighting wars over fresh water, Trumps plans for Canada and Greenland are going to be seen as genius…
Dude, desalinisation is right there.
bro, russia is right there
his distraction escalates as epstein news escalates.
No new wars, but plenty of “special military operations”.
Why? To ruin Christmas
President Donald Trump announced on Christmas that the U.S. has bombed “ISIS Terrorist Scum” in Nigeria.
Well merry Christmas to you too, I guess?
This is normal now. Christmas is about bombing scum, thanks giving is about retards or something.
I want my normal world back
Super Christian of him
wasnt aware ISIS was in nigeria.
Lost of splinters and cells scattered around the Muslim world as I understand it, but the amount of ranges between major insurgent army to dumbfuck backwoods militia.
THE DEPARTMENT OF WAR IS PEACE
THE RADICAL LEFT IS SLAVERY
FOX NEWS IS STRENTHHAIL BIG BROTHER
Ok Hitler guy
The book reference is “1984”
Killed 'em with kindness like I have never seen!
That’s an excellent user name as well, for what it’s worth.
I’m not even mad at the rotten orange, this is just mold.
Every single person who swore an oath to the CONSTITUTION, not a person, should present themselves for Captain’s Mast at the very least.
How fucking could you pull the trigger
Terrorists spreading terrorism
Trump is a terrorist
In before Trump starts ranting about “the Nigers”. You know it’s only a matter of time…
Another Epstein diversion.
The really sad thing about this is I think you’re right
How old ARE the kids he fucks? 4? 5?
Put a blindfold on this mother fucker and tie him to a pole atop the Capitol Steps.
12-15 apparently, he likes them ivanka young.
Draw and quarter
I’m just so grateful that all the previous presidents refused to do this and setup safeguards to ensure that Trump will be punished. \s \s \s
Previous presidents are only part of the equation.
The other part is having a society that isn’t stupid enough to elect a felon rapist pedophile insurrectionist.
The situation we find ourselves in is as much American’s fault as it is our politicians. Actually moreso, since those politicians are only there because of American’s decisions.
Morbid Elon fixed the election as he basically said he did.
Ehh… Wouldn’t put it past him having told some engineer to rig it and boast about rigging the election, all while the engineer did fuck all, because they were just a janitor fixing the thermostat in the office of some rich douchebag high on ketamine.
It’s truly more complicated than that. The USA electoral system is weird worldwide, but more than weird, it’s antiquated and by design, by tradition, very prone to be manipulated, and this goes from the caucus system to the elections themselves.
It’s set up for the people to feel they are actually choosing leaders, but the reality is the political representation is only achieved for an increasingly narrow economical and ideological subset of the people. The American political class is very conservative, and it always breaks my heart that many Democrats feel offended when people from other countries, like me, point this out.
European countries have a variety of electoral systems, and to my knowledge right wing parties are gaining significant vote share in all of them. Is there a country whose electoral system you see as best helping them deal with populist reactionary figures?
I am currently a proponent of ranked choice voting - Australia is the country I know of with the most widespread use example. They aren’t magically utopian, but it seems to be helping there. Always on the lookout to learn new things, though, so interested in pointers.
European countries have a mindset of colonialist countries that will try to reach for their roots. Unfortunately, that’s part of their political struggle. I actually like the way it is in my country, Mexico. You have one 6-year term only, you can’t have any re-elections, ever. It’s possible to ask for a referendum in the middle of the term, in case the person in chair is not doing as they promised. In the legislative power, we don’t have dinosaurs thanks to this, politicians can go from lower to higher level cameras in this bicameral legislative power, but that’s it. “No reelection” is ingrained with blood in our culture. Of course, electoral systems can only do so much against populist reactionaries, as you put it.
I like the idea of ranked choice voting a lot, but I don’t know how viable that is for the USA. They need change, urgently, and ranked choice voting would be as good as it gets in terms of change.
An people have done nothing to change it. That’s the point.
The people have done what they can. Politicians have failed to them. That’s why Trump was headed to last 4 years in power only, and then the Democrats handed him, on a silver plate, another presidential term by being essentially equal to their rivals. As I see it, the political class is the one failing, by showing the people there is not a real path for a leftist government once and again. Americans need brutal leftist politicians as they have brutal right-wing ones in spades. The people is eager to support a younger Sanders-like face, someone that won’t compromise the benefit of the majority’s views.
I’ll believe it when you’re a Republic again. Until then you’re all accomplises.
I live in a republic, don’t know what you mean.
The ruling/owner class has waged a decades-long war to undo the forward momentum of the New Deal.
There’s plenty of blame to go around, but most of it belongs to generational wealth and the “haves” not the average person brainwashed by poorly funded and heavily propagandized public education.
