Please Mr Thiel. Go. And forget us, we’re doomed. Go enjoy Iran or Australia or some other hellhole.

OHHHHHHHH NOOOOOOOOO.

This shitbag will sell whatever IP he has to whichever country gives him a small amount of real power over people. $100 he goes to Russia or China.

We will all be happy to see him go. Hopefully down. In a ball of fire.

[-] Snapz@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

Oh man, with the baby leash he has on Vance, no way he can stay behind in US... looks like trump needs a new second place idiot now.

[-] Boddhisatva@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

Nope. I vote no unless he agrees to take his whack-job buddy, Curtis Yarvin, and his biodiesel made from poor people, with him. I would demand he take Vance with him, but I suppose he'll insist on keeping his puppet here.

They basically want a return to monarchy, and yet they self style as 'libertarian'. Fuck those losers.

Easier to meddle in shadow-politics with impunity when you can't easily be arrested.

Why doesn't he just get on one of his boy Elon's rockets and fuckoff to Mars?

Maybe a nice sub ride while he looks for a place to build Rapture?

Billionaires and homeless people act 100% the same.

The only difference is billionaires have access to force.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
