"unprecedented," "deeply concerned," "alarmed,"


words have lost all meaning due to be in every other fucking headline

SLAMS

BLASTS

CLASH

OUTCRY

UPROAR

PUSHBACK

FUCK

[-] SkyeStarfall 3 points 2 days ago

You know if they started writings "FUCKS" instead of "SLAM", I certainly would start to get more interested in the headlines

[-] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 25 points 2 days ago

Personally, I think we should skip the home.

This loser didn't start forgetting his wife's name or forget to wipe his ass after shitting on a regular basis.

He's a fucking traitor who is tanking our country in a myriad of ways and violating the fuck out of our Constitution. A much more....severe punishment is in order.

Thrown into the middle of the ocean.

The ocean doesn't deserve that

Since Letterman is a millionaire I vote he starts the revolution, instead of trying to convince us to do all the work.

We have to be victimized because the alternative is armed revolt and putting his fat orange neck under the guillotine. I’m sorry, but Americans aren’t suffering enough en-masse to be motivated enough to do that yet. I wish it weren’t so, but we’re stuck with it for now.

[-] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

Give it a year.

I'm assuming some of the Trumptards with a few brain cells still bouncing around will start looking at their grocery receipts and not be able to reconcile it with what their Daddy has been saying.

"Hey, dat man lied to me."

Maybe getting evicted will open some eyes.

We're only 3-4 months in.

[-] IndiBrony@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

You'd be surprised at what people will put up with. I say we aren't close even if we gave it 3 or 4 years.

They will bury their head in the sand so hard they'll come out the other side of the planet before they'll annoy they were duped.

[-] AquaTofana@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

The idea of armed revolt always concerns me because of countries like N. Korea, Iraq, and more recently Afghanistan.

All of these countries had periods of (relative) progressive tendencies before their current iterations. Yes, I'm aware Afghanistan was still rough 2001-2021 but there was still a generation of women going to school and getting educated and that concept just simply ceased to exist.

And all of these people just kinda...watched it happen. And did nothing about it.

I'm not sure, as an American, why we'd be any different. We have alcohol, iphones, air conditioning, fast food, and video games. No one is risking their creature comforts at this point.

[-] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago

Would you agree that those creature comforts are at risk in the coming months? Fast food and video games have already become prohibitively expensive IMHO.

[-] someguy3@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

There's nothing you can do, the system was made so you can't just remove a guy you don't like. It's up to Congress to impeach and remove or the 25th amendment, but that just gets you Vance.

Have the day you voted for, especially the protest-non-voters.

[-] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago

Well, there's always one thing we can do.

[-] DarthObi@feddit.org 11 points 2 days ago

In Germany we say "Der Klügere gibt nach, bis die Dummen die Welt reagieren". You could translate it with "A wise man changes his mind, a fool never will until fools rule the world."

Hank hill “do i look like I know what a JPEG is”

[-] kibiz0r@midwest.social 12 points 2 days ago

He’s pretty much describing all three sides of the problem and pretending only one of them matters.

  1. The anti-democracy movement, which wants a dictator and has gained enough followers to actually pull it off through democratic means.
  2. The pro-democracy movement, which is seeking to counteract the fascists through persuasion (the whining he’s talking about) and careful legal action that doesn’t undermine the very democracy they’re trying to defend.
  3. The revolutionary movement, which believes this democracy has already failed so severely that it needs a hard reset, so any action to remove the fascists is justified even if there is collateral damage.
[-] Melatonin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 days ago

Stop making sense!

[-] Boddhisatva@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

How is this statement any different than anyone else's "whining" about the goon? It puts me in mind of a scene in Monty Python's Life of Brian.

We've go to get up off our asses and stop just talking about it

[-] Nougat@fedia.io 6 points 2 days ago

Can it be a funeral home?

[-] the_q@lemm.ee 6 points 2 days ago

In all honesty we should all be on the lawn at the whitehouse everyday until things change. No work no buying nothing but our constant presence. We're the reason this continues.

[-] shawn1122@lemm.ee 6 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

The funny thing is what he's offering here is also just words.

You're going to need more than just gradually escalating calls to action to fix this problem.

I know that I also am just offering words but I'm not worth half a billion dollars with a broad domestic and global audience nor am I American.

I hope he puts his money where his mouth is and goes even a step further.

We're should be past the point of people telling each other to do something about it.

The problem is that enough voters saw this feckless and recklessness and said "Yes! This is what we need more of in this country!"

So we kind of asked for this, didn't we?

[-] Melatonin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 days ago

I sure as hell didn't

[-] Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafe 3 points 2 days ago

Sit down and shut up Dave. You held a fund raiser for Biden who hasn't been home for years (poor guy) and had no business running for president.

At least be honest, show some integrity, and call all spades, spades.

[-] Valmond@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

As a foreigner Biden seemed have a good economy for you USA americans, sure we would have loved a harder stance on Russia but it's incomparable.

[-] Broadfern@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Whataboutism can be saved for when the immediate threats are handled. Putting an upper age limit on elected offices can help as a start.
