This is what a SHITHOLE country looks like. This is banana republic politics. Where political power is sought and used for profits. USA is now one of the most corrupt countries in the world.

[-] tidderuuf@lemmy.world 46 points 6 months ago

You're not entirely wrong. The place basically legalized corruption and Americans were forced fed graphics saying how Guatemala and Somalia were the most corrupt so now they think what's going on is just politics as usual.

Thats why capitalism is always having a hay day. The exploitation of the working class is now a normal part of the day and politics normalized it through corrupt policies.

Edit: Imagine being forced to pay a certain minimum because you’re a greedy piece of shit and you will understand why minimums are enforced.

Oh for fucks sake - Trump and his goons aren't even bothering to pretend to be legitimate any more. They're brazenly nothing but vile, corrupt, autocratic pieces of shit and they're fucking parading it in front of the world.

We're watching history unfold. The startlingly insane decline and fall of the United States under the deranged lunatic Trump is going to be the stuff of future legend.

[-] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 3 points 6 months ago

They're obviously not worried about any future elections

[-] Arancello@aussie.zone 33 points 6 months ago

How much was the new Whitehouse Ballroom predicted to cost? $230million. A coincidence?

[-] P1nkman@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

I thought you were joking, but apparent not!

If they can’t prosecute him because he’s a sitting president, he should also have to wait to bring any kind of lawsuit or grievance against the government.

[-] ShellMonkey@piefed.socdojo.com 25 points 6 months ago

Cool, I demand eleventy gazillion dollars from Trump for giving me a headache every fucking day. I declare that the first first vote either way on this post validates it as a legit demand due and payable...

[-] Bonesince1997@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago

A class action lawsuit, for those who voted against him. Sorry to dig in on your money! 😉

I see action from the American people by protests, but it's not working. I honestly believe there will be a war against the "libs". Ready yourselfs.

[-] sturmblast@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

We're already there

[-] BrianTheeBiscuiteer@lemmy.world 17 points 6 months ago

Almost the exact amount of money Trump is "spending" to add a ballroom to the Whitehouse. Interesting.

[-] skozzii@lemmy.ca 14 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Why don't American care that they are being robbed?

[-] SabinStargem@lemmy.today 8 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Because they are used to it?

Wage theft is the most common fiscal crime committed in America. Between that and things like ghost jobs, threats of being fired, being fired for asking for living wages, and so on, your typical American simply accepts abuse as THE way of life.

[-] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 14 points 6 months ago

I wonder what it's like to arguably be the biggest piece of shit currently on planet earth.

[-] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 months ago

It seems you get an entire season of south park episodes about how small your dick is lol.

[-] Wilco@lemmy.zip 12 points 6 months ago

This corruption is horrific. I truly hate what this country has become.

[-] TheReturnOfPEB@reddthat.com 6 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

when our local sheriff was first running against the previous sheriff ... the new one was outraged on Reddit that the old sheriff dared to "anonymously investigate" him before the election.

same mentality.

[-] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 5 points 6 months ago

That's theft

[-] Gorgritch_umie_killa@aussie.zone 5 points 6 months ago

Corruption has made the US a rotten place, if Republicans without brainrot wish to live in a country that isn't tearing itself apart again they need to reject the corruption at all levels. They need to reject what they have so far accepted from their side as equally as they've rejected the corruption of the other side. The gains they think they're making under this regime are crumbs from the table of corruption they unleash. There is no reason for anybody to be honest actors if the Republicans refuse their responsibilities to all their countrymen.
