Bye bye USA! Everything passed after 1950 that a conservative would dislike will be removed or… just basically ignored.

[-] Damage@feddit.it 7 points 5 days ago

The URSS curse, the USA defeated it but doing so condemned itself to ruin

Soviet Union had public healthcare

[-] Anti_Iridium@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

And public housing. Not saying I'd like to live in an apartment, but the option to do that would be nice.

[-] Auntievenim@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

Don't worry, they're gonna build special camps for people who cant afford homes instead

Trump is so transparent, his evil henchmen even look evil! I mean look at that gormless, single-digit IQ pig Tom Homan, the Cruella-looking Tulsi Gabbard, the worm-for-brains RFK Jr. with the tombstone voice, and now this children-scaring motherfucker: they're so caricatural they could have been cast as Dr. Evil's henchmen.

I guess all that's missing is a cat called Mr. Bigglesworth sitting on Trump's lap.

[-] MuskyMelon@lemmy.world 32 points 5 days ago

Don't forget the Eastern European child rapist looking Stephen Miller.

[-] ExtremeDullard@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 5 days ago

Oh yeah true, how could I forget that psycho!

[-] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 1 points 5 days ago

He'd be great for a remake of M, except for the expressionlessness.

[-] ExtremeDullard@lemmy.sdf.org 45 points 5 days ago

This country is beyond hope.

[-] WizardofFrobozz@lemmy.ca 10 points 5 days ago

Sure as long as nobody does literally anything

[-] SereneSadie@lemmy.myserv.one 8 points 5 days ago

The no-voters are ahead of you on that.

[-] Randomgal@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 days ago

Haven't you noticed? The whole country has been talking about fucking paper containing fucking already known information 24/7.

Doing nothing is their national occupation.

[-] floofloof@lemmy.ca 7 points 5 days ago

We can hope that the relevant lifetime for this lifetime appointment is not too long. Like a shitty lifetime warranty that guarantees your product will work for as long as it does.

Indeed, I think the Americans' only recourse left at this point is the fourth box of liberty. The problem is, the powers that be have understood that they need to outgun the citizenry if they want to stay in power forcibly. So they've militarized the police to the point that it's simply impossible to overpower it. And all of them surround themselves with multiple layers of bodyguards, so they're impossible to approach.

[-] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 26 points 5 days ago

So they’ve militarized the police to the point that it’s simply impossible to overpower it.

More violent authoritarian regimes have been overthrown by people power. Don't fall into the learned helplessness trap.

[-] swelter_spark@reddthat.com 1 points 4 days ago

This is why those weird MuWire accounts have so many guerilla warfare manuals.

[-] Olhonestjim@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

They are far from invulnerable. It might be difficult, but hardly impossible.

We need to get impeachment votes on him now. Lying to congress is impeachable. Make the GoP defend him.

[-] GissaMittJobb@lemmy.ml 15 points 4 days ago

I mean, assuming the republicans ever lose power, why should any of the conventions of the past be upheld? Why should not every single judge appointed by the republicans be removed from their positions?

Trump has shown you that the rules don't matter when you are in power, fucking learn the lesson already

[-] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 9 points 4 days ago

Because one side values "decorum" and "reaching across the aisle" and one doesn't.

[-] fedupwithbureaucracy@lemmy.world 31 points 5 days ago

All violence is on the GOP

[-] TopsickPilgrim@lemmy.world 17 points 5 days ago

Whats the process of removing a life time judge? Are they above the law?

[-] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 17 points 5 days ago

They get removed at the end of their life.

[-] AngryRobot@lemmy.world 8 points 5 days ago

Impeachment,so it won't happen in this country.

[-] TargaryenTKE@lemmy.world 9 points 5 days ago

Technically no, but actually yes

[-] stonedtemplepilot@lemmy.world 13 points 5 days ago

Awful, but sadly expected. What a pack of ghouls, man.

[-] xyzzy@lemmy.today 18 points 5 days ago

We all knew they would confirm this unwrapped mummy despite their protestations of concern. The act is tired.

[-] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 15 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

I knew this was coming eventually. I'm shocked, but I can't really be surprised by Republicans' fecklessness at this point.

[-] lmdnw@lemmy.world 12 points 5 days ago

Hopefully he lives a very short life.

[-] etherphon@midwest.social 5 points 4 days ago

This dude is 44? Jesus christ I guess being a piece of shit really ages you.

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 9 points 5 days ago

Good job, jerk-offs.

[-] BigMacHole@sopuli.xyz 8 points 5 days ago

IGNORING the Courts is EXACTLY the Type of Leadership we need and NONE of that Harvard DEI Nonsense!

[-] Wytch@lemmy.zip 5 points 5 days ago

Here's an article from 2020 about Trump's Harvard graduates.

Other notable conservative Harvard graduates: Raphael "Ted" Cruz, Ron DeSantis, Trump's press secretary Kayleigh McEnany, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court John Roberts, Trump appointee Mehmet Oz, Trump's nominee Neil Gorsuch.

[-] bitMasque@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

Isn't that Count Orlok?

“The revolution will be bloodless if the left allows it to be.”

Congratulations, you do-nothing cowards. You allowed it to be. You deserve everything you get.

[-] kerntucky@infosec.pub 9 points 5 days ago

Congratulations, you do-nothing cowards.

You call everyone else cowards but what are you doing?

[-] toomanypancakes@piefed.world 6 points 5 days ago

Spending all day complaining about everyone else it looks like.

[-] WizardofFrobozz@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 days ago

Not being American?

Add one to the #3 pile.

Yes because they’re going to tell you that, in writing, on a public forum.

Fucking imbecile.

[-] Soulg@ani.social 2 points 4 days ago

Do it yourself or shut the fuck up

[-] WizardofFrobozz@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 days ago

Waiting for another country to come save your from what you created? Yeah, sounds on brand.

[-] neclimdul@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

Let me guess, he pinky promised Murkowski he would behave.

[-] jballs@sh.itjust.works 8 points 5 days ago

She actually voted against him. Her and Collins are allowed to vote against GOP nominees as long as their votes don't matter.

Bove was confirmed, 50-49. Every Democrat opposed him, along with two Republicans: Sens. Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) and Susan Collins (Maine).

[-] StepUp2DaStreets@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

They keep fucking doing that to placate their bases and it's so annoying.

[-] P1k1e@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

Nooooooo! You've gotta be fucking kidding me!

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.

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

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.
