Nothing says being on the right side of history like forced thought does.

Because nothing says American freedom like unconditional loyalty to a Jewish supremacist settler colony.

States pay taxes to create federal funds.

I'm absolutely fine if blue states stop paying and just take care of their own.

There’s no way in hell that ‘ideology’ that supports the executive branch, as a requirement for funding, will survive the courts.

We live in a dictatorship with no rule of law.

[-] NJSpradlin@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago

We still have SOME law. I want to see what they spin to make it legal to have FEDERAL LE pursue state senators for exercising their procedural and legal rights.

I’m hearing ‘taking bribes’ as what they’re going to go for… but, I want to see that stated under oath and in a court that doesn’t have a stooge presiding.

Allow me to introduce you to Unitary Executive Theory.

Most likely not, but it is not costless to have to fight that battle for those who need FEMA support. Even if they prevail, they've been punished for not submitting to Trump's ideological demands.

Israel has cucked us so hard

[-] BetaBlake@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Being a professional blackmailer country makes that happen.

This is the policy of "America first"

[-] 0li0li@lemmy.world 23 points 1 day ago

America first! ...after Israel.

[-] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago

Yea they just neglected to finish the phrase. It's like "when in Rome" or "Make America Great Again... by raping children". You know the quiet part out loud thing.

I barely know what to call this. We're beyond authoritarianism at this point, this is insane.
