Causing harm to civilians in order to coerce the submission of a government is the very definition of terrorism

A couch fucker and some fraudulent shill who was made famous by Oprah. These are the people making this decision which will literally kill people.

[-] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 54 points 1 week ago

They might think this kind of thing makes them look strong. But they are incorrect.

Anyone with more than a couple of braincells in their skull knows this the sign of an administration that got humiliated and is furiously trying to retaliate out of pure spite.

These people are seriously fucked in the head.

And their feigned concern for "fraud" is so ridiculous. They don't give a shit about what Pedonald did to make 1.4+ billion, they don't give a shit about Noem's bang plane, they do nothing about Patel flying all over the fucking place for his (and his girlfriend's) personal pleasure.

Thereby guaranteeing that no Republican will hold statewide or federal office in Minnesota for the foreseeable future.

[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago

They’ll just blame the protesters/liberals. “Look what you made him do!”

[-] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 week ago

I think they’re planning to cheat or ignore the election. It’s the only way that doing all this abhorrent and wildly unpopular shit could make any political sense.

It’ll be a huge relief if it turns out that they really are this stupid, but it’s impossible not to worry that they aren’t.

Idk man I honestly doubt that's true.

These people that support trump and friends are fucking feeble minded idiots.

You will show them graphs and even replay this exact speech straight from Jizz Dicks mouth and they will hear something on Fox news about how a school is letting a furry kid use a litter box for the bathroom and they're coming for your children next!!

And then they will straight up, 100% vote for this shit again. Seriously. It would be a fascinating case study if I didn't have to be directly affected by the absurd stupidity of it all day to day.

My apathy and cynicism grows exponentially every single day.

This is what you voted for protest-non-voters.

[-] Catoblepas@piefed.blahaj.zone 18 points 1 week ago

The number of people who leap up to blame anyone except the people that voted for Trump is fascinating to me. Objectively the people that voted him in, and somehow entirely blameless.

[-] starik@lemmy.zip 22 points 1 week ago

Nobody says Trump voters are blameless. That’s a straw man.

But Trump voters lack some of the moral culpability of those who knew better and still didn’t vote, or threw their vote away on Jill Stein or whatever.

There is no point in trying to shame MAGA voters for bringing about what is happening now, because they like it. What can you say to that?

On the other hand, leftists who didn’t vote against him feel that shame deeply, as evidenced by the fact that they cry like little bitches whenever you remind them.

Nailed it.

Oh, like me!

[-] starik@lemmy.zip 12 points 1 week ago

Pfft. The ones who are still proud of themselves at this point I lump in with the Trumpers. Most of ya’ll are just reflexive contrarians who would never vote for anyone who might win. We didn’t lose your vote, because you aren’t possible to win over.

[-] n4ch1sm0@piefed.social 10 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

And those of you who speak this way about individuals who protested their votes seem incapable of seeing the bigger picture; that the reality is that people want to vote for a principled leader who believes in something, and the Democratic leadership failed us in 2024, just like they failed us in 2016. And even after winning in 2020, they still a managed to fail us by failing to uphold international law and failing to jail an insurrectionist pig that's now in the white house.

They failed us because they believe in nothing, and that's why people protested their vote. Wake the fuck up and focus on primaries in 2026, then the general, and so on, and prevent this from happening again.

Who's blaming? I am informing protest-non-voters what they voted for.

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

Most of them are a lost cause. I don't think anyone is saying they are blameless.

[-] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago

Thankfully we know how to solve the issue: give into the voters demands and stop supporting Israel/ a genocide.

This is what Kamala Harris preferred to saying "genocide is bad".

[-] n4ch1sm0@piefed.social 7 points 1 week ago

Exactly, without question. Bitterness against non voters really is as simple as barking up the wrong tree.

[-] infinitesunrise@slrpnk.net 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I voted Kamala but seriously, fuck off with this sourbitch garbage. Protest voters aren't why you lost, you lost because your candidate sucked shit.

Fucking MAGA losers are going to murder more Americans. Minnesota is a contributor state and should withhold payment to the federal government. In fact, all the Blue States should do the same.

[-] leadore@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

It's a great idea, but the problem is people file their federal taxes as individuals and pay the IRS directly, so how are the blue states supposed to withhold the money?

Face it, this is a fascist nation. They're going to starve us into obedience.

[-] Taldan@lemmy.world 25 points 1 week ago

Something non-Minnesotans might have missed: Prosecutors from the Minnesota US attorney's office have been quitting en masse, thanks to political pressure from Pam Bondi and others

This has certainly hampered fraud investigations, in addition to harming other prosecutorial efforts

In short, the federal government is hampering fraud prosecutions while punishing Minnesotans for the fraud

[-] quick_snail@feddit.nl 25 points 1 week ago

Jesus, it's murder. They're murdering them.

[-] Janx@piefed.social 23 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Kind of a shit article. Just parrots the Trump administration's claims, with no fact-checking or comments from anyone with actual knowledge of the Medicaid system.

The truth is, the courts will obviously reverse this punitive action. The fact they are doing it anyway shows they care more about hurting Americans who resist Trump than focusing on the economy, world relations, housing prices, etc...

[-] ALilOff@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago

Well Minnesota is a donor state in taxes, sounds like Minnesota could you know…not pay federal taxes this year

[-] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 17 points 1 week ago

Why would the VP be telling us that?

[-] WanderWisley@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago

May all these monsters in this administration hang from their necks soon.

We need to get them out of office and into prison as fast as possible. A government bound by no laws will start murdering thousands of us just to make a point. ICE has already murdered almost a dozen americans, and ZERO of them have even been investigated.

[-] Gates9@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

They are sanctioning the state of Minnesota like it’s a foreign narco or terrorist state

[-] CircaV@lemmy.ca 14 points 1 week ago

Not in the US. How are people from Minnesota fighting back against this??

[-] quick_snail@feddit.nl 19 points 1 week ago

There's been massive protests. ICE responded by murdering peaceful protestors

So, I guess we're now doing embargos inside the country as well. Fascism really is just colonialism turned inward.

My baby is losing healthcare because of this. Edit: This was a bit reactionary. Based on what I’ve learned, this will not directly affect us. Still, it affects millions others for political motives
