Yeah, if the Democrats weren't a fucking joke of a controlled opposition, they'd be running on total rollback: declare a state of emergency and remove and detain every single Trump appointee, repeal every single executive order, reverse every single item of legislation, revoke every grant, cancel every contract signed during the Trump administration. Then ban any Trump appointee from ever holding office again, blacklist every recipient of a federal contract awarded for the first time under Trump, shut down any "nonproit" that served as a fascist front organization, and revoke the corporate charter of any corporation involved in corrupt lobbying.

I read this this is the voice of Butthead. To which Beavis would reply "Heh, heh, yes, we need more FIRE!"

yeah all that "quantitative objective science" liberal BS

/s

Oh god how do we share a planet with these troglodytes

Ban rulers, speedometers, fuel gauges and pressure sensors! Cook meat on a gut feeling! Destroy all cups! Long dresses for all so we can't see feet! YAAARGH!

That's why no more weather service. If you can't see the F5 Hurricane barrelling down on you it doesn't exist.

Hopefully by a few different miracles, a much much shorter amount of time

It's somewhat that, but the key point is the manufactured consent that our biggest corporations prescribe via their media subsidiaries. I'd argue America has the best propaganda in the world. WE'RE #1!!! WOOOO

I remember reading once that we (America) never had a true labor revolution because the labor movement was always divided by racism. It may not always be racism, but during reconstruction the powers that be definitely learned that keeping the lower classes fighting among each other will keep them rich.

We DO have labor history in this country. Unless you're from one of the union stronghold states like Pennsylvania, it isn't taught much.

Even in the founding of our country most of the founders were merchant class. France and Russia have a cultural history of killing monarchs. The US has a cultural history of the wealthy finding a way to keep making money. These two things happened in similar ways but the way that they're framed historically are completely different. Your revolutions are taught to be about bread and injustice. Ours are taught to be about taxes.

Poor Thomas Paine. He tried so hard to help put us on the right track.

Two factors, probably:

• America has never had a war on our soil, a real bona-fide war anyway. Smaller town or city-sized disputes that got whitewashed and omitted from history, of course. I don't think we fully comprehend what is necessary to protect our freedom? Not apologist here either, just...that is partly why. Look at how much we constantly boast about WWII even though we just showed up late, well-rested with a bunch of guns, after almost turning Fascist ourselves.
• In America: You protest, you riot, you lose your job because you don't have enough time off available to drive 2500 miles, or the reason isn't valid based on made up rules by your employer. Then you lose your health insurance because you have no job. Then you lose your home because you can't pay the mortgage (or more these days, rent), your car on a 5 year loan is repo'd. So now your family is homeless without transportation or medical care and you're basically dead at that point.

They set the US up to make failure->death the easy fast default option unless you're a proper peasant working the fiefdom.

I think the intention is to get rid of the data being provided to fix global warming. If the satellite is sold the data would turn up in some fashion eventually.

The same thing the Trump administration does every time a judge tells them to stop doing something

Do you think Trump respects when someone tells him no? The guy who's been accused dozens of times of rape? He (and any other fascist) speaks and understands only one language: violence.

Budd Dwyer blew his brains out on live TV. Granted it was on a snow day when all the kids were at home watching TV. Maybe not the best decision but it did lead to one less republican wasting oxygen.

Many of them have died

Technically they made the EPA, which I guess they decided was a bad idea.

Yeah, destroying the planet to exacerbate wealth inequality really is a distraction from the scapegoat figurehead that has survived a hundred scandals being a child rapist. Surely this time if we focus all of our attention on the scandalproof figurehead's scandals rather than any of the issues, we're going to win. I know it sank two elections, but this time it's different. Because that's what's really wrong with the current US administration: Not imprisoning people without trial or destroying libraries of scientific knowledge, but the figurehead having some something wrong personally.

I guess Trump was right - when you're a star, you can grab them by the pussy and you can do anything.

Honestly, I WOULD prefer him to be some kind of alien super agent. It is a lot less depressing than the alternative.
