Not counting the ones perpetrated by ICE thugs, I imagine?

Catholics are pretty radical, though, and follow very easily charismatic figures that tell them what to do. I get your point, but no religion is actually based on practicing the content of its teachings.

Cowards handling weapons not fit for their mental status.

My “get to vote” obviously implies casting a ballot and having it count something

The MAGA godfather isn’t serious about becoming president — that’s not the point. Instead, he’s told allies he wants to shape the debate and pressure Republican candidates to embrace an “America First” agenda — including a non-interventionist foreign policy, economic populism and opposition to Big Tech.

It reads to me like fake opposition like we see in most hollowed out democracies.

Do Americans really think they’ll get to vote again? Interesting.

It will probably go on as all totalitarian regimes go: either a lot of blood and then hopefully freedom again, or Russia Reloaded. The pigs in charge for sure won’t leave anything willingly, you have to hang them by the feet (in a Mussolinian way I mean) if you want to break out of it… Any day spent whining and protesting peacefully is one day closer to the end of democracy and one day less they have to really fight. The moment democracy is being shit on is not on the next Election Day, it’s right now.

Yep, I also have a feeling they are singling out weak targets to appear strong, nationally and internationally: blackmail Ukraine, plan luxury resorts in Gaza, kill unarmed people unprovoked, kidnap the head of one of the weakest states on earth, threaten a starving country (Cuba), defund universities and humanitarian organizations.

They can be seen kneeling when Putin offers a shoe to polish and when they have to play the victim of hostile trade.

Sorry for going on a tangent. The frustration is real.

Dear Amis, it looks more and more likely that you will have to kill and get killed to come out of this fucked up situation you put yourselves and the world into. I’m just hoping Central Europe will be - for once - spared from the violence we will unfortunately see in the next decades, as there is where my lazy ass sits…

How do I vote for you? Such compelling arguments!

I think he fears death a lot, which brings him to splatter his name everywhere he gets to. Many chances to piss on it for the next generations!

Not the Onion?

I learned it the hard way when I wanted to trade a platinum memorial coin my grandparents gifted me as investment when I was born: guess what, my brother has the gold one :D

You would think that the pig, fixated as he is with money, would know that gold is much more valuable than platinum? Pointing out the important things here, thank me please…

Yes I get it and agree: they are in a position where they can bully others the way they are doing. It’s not their role but they can because they have leverage. It’s a one bullet thing, though: burning these many bridges will collapse their global presence in the long run. But for now, they act and do as they wish, because old allies still need them direly.

If it would be so easy… the hard reality is that Ukraine needs US support and Europe is not enough (due to economic challenges and internal disagreements). We are at the mercy of the government of a very rich country with a global military infrastructure that was our most important ally, but now betrayed any long standing commitment because they went crazy (+russian venom worked well with the thin witted US population)
