I have a prediction:

Iran will send agents to America, who will act as ICE members. Through this guise, they will antagonize the Trump Regime - blackbagging supporters, assassinating politicians, and generally performing domestic terrorism on the 'behalf' of the Regime in a very showy and flashy way. They don't need ID, license plates, nor uniforms, can mask, and bear weapons. Any time they need plausible deniability or to cause some form of riot, they can also attack the general populous, and earn a $1,500 paycheck for each colored head they bring to the Regime.

The Trump Regime has destroyed America's intelligence apparatus, too. Iran has a blank check for destabilizing America, and Trump signed the fucker.

American concept of law enforcement at the hands of the Executive resulted in this lawlessness

I have seen articles and discussions about all of those items multiple times. We've known trump was an associate of Epstein for how many years? 20? 30? The problem is that there's literally no system in place to hold anyone accountable for anything unless the person being held accountable is just a regular person living paycheck to paycheck.

Texas quietly defunded the border wall. 8% has been built and it's not even connected sections.

[-] LadyButterfly@lemmy.world 16 points 3 months ago

But Mexico was going to pay for the wall...

The US hasn’t been a country anyone should treat seriously since 2024-11-05, and won’t be again until they can prove their ability to hold another legitimate election.

It’s a coin flip as to whether I’ll see that within my lifetime right now.

Why do you think fascists create wars?

🤔 is this accurate? I don't even follow political stuff and I've heard about everything in that list. Seems like people have been talking about these things

[-] Landless2029@lemmy.world 20 points 4 months ago

"People" meaning major news stations which are controlled by billionaires and are the only source of news for the boomer generation. This has lead to the brainwashing that allowed our current president to get into office.

[-] Absaroka@lemmy.world 20 points 3 months ago

Honestly, I feel like Trump and the GOP's strategy for a while now has been to do so much illegal, evil and heinous shit that the media and public just move onto the next thing.

Any other administration would have been brought to its knees by Signalgate. A few months later and the fucking Secretary of Defense is getting congratulated for not leaking military plans ahead of time.

[-] Zenith@lemm.ee 15 points 3 months ago

It’s literally called “flooding the zone” and they’ve talked openly about the fact they’re doing it

We have limited ram in our biological CPUs.

[-] ExtremeDullard@lemmy.sdf.org 18 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

There are so many things that should make the headlines that nothing makes the headlines anymore.

It's called desensitization.

And honestly, if you think some cazy dude killing two people is what should be on page one these days, you got your priorities wrong.

"Flood the zone with shit" is working as intended. It‘s chilling to see how quickly push comes to shove and we‘re in a world war once again.

[-] FleetingTit@feddit.org 17 points 4 months ago

War, what is it good for?

Apparently it's good for taking the public mind of a politicians wrongdoings.

I already see way to much news from the USA while the war in Ukrain is a day driving away. We see almost nothing from that.

[-] technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 3 months ago

USA would much rather support genocide in palestine than resist genocide in ukraine.

[-] Rooskie91@discuss.online 15 points 4 months ago

The news has been captured by monied interests for decades now. Stop expecting it to televise the revolution.

For full explanation please read: Naomi Klein, The Shock Doctrine.

And that's only the last couple of weeks. That list could be a hundred times longer.

Strap in because the next one will distract us from war with Iran.

We're drinking from a firehose of bullshit and you want me to talk about the turd I swallowed three days ago? Buddy, I won't forget that turd, but there's literally newer and more horrifying shit coming down the tube. It's amalgamating into a giant shit mountain and crushing us underneath it. C'mon, my dude. Redirect your angst somewhere else.

Mario's Brother also. Although he might resurface in the news in a month or so.

[-] asteriskeverything@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago

Idk I saw news and discussion for all these things and when I brought them up with people I know they also heard of them. We all have a somewhat wide diversity on how we learn about current events too.

I dont think the disinformation/distraction machine is working as well as it thinks

I stole this. Quite shamelessly, too.

Can we impeach and convict and remove/imprison him yet?

[-] lepinkainen@lemmy.world 9 points 4 months ago

Impeachment requires majority, Republicans have majority and MAGA will never cross their cult leader.

Yeah, man, let's get back to talking about it. Like we were doing. Just sittin around, talking about it, while more and more of this list happened. And then we just kept on talkin. That's what we need to get back to, suddenly, no one's talking about it. That's the problem.

[-] Chocrates@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

I thought the 2024 election rigging was all wild speculation?

I agree the pieces are there for it to happen but I didn't see any actual evidence.

[-] limelight79@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

I saw an analysis of results in deep-blue Arizona cities where there were quite a few people who voted for Trump...then Democrat down the rest of the ballot.

It's not hard evidence, but it's suspicious. The problem the US has is that the winners are quite okay with winning at any cost and don't see a problem, even if the win was stolen.

There's an active court case in New York uncovering indications of tampering and wild statistical anomalies. This blog is a little conspiratorial sounding, but it's also doing a difficult job of putting back together the pieces of what is looking like a well executed technological coup.

Another descriptive term is wagging the dog (referring to the tail having disproportionate leverage over the beast) which is a (not uncommon) presidential tactic of taking a serious military action in order to distract from other scandals.

News media, including classic liberal media will allow other stories to die to report on attacks or invasions (or when you can get it, attacks on the US by foreign units).

George W.Bush used this method, but also blitzing the public with countless scandals. (George H. W. Bush did too) So Trump's kitchen cabinet was likely informed by history when considering becoming Bibi's personal B.

I remember seeing some post of reddit while lurking of a bunch of election letters being dumped in a drain

I wonder what came of that
