The number of people I talk to who genuinely believe Trump isn't going to at least try mass deportations of everyone he can is mind boggling to me.

Maybe since his cabinet picks have been a clown show part 2, they're banking on him forgetting wtf he was doing and going back to throwing tantrums on Xitter and cheating at golf.

I'm just glad some places are setting up sanctuaries now.

I was born a US citizen and I'm scared of being deported for being an atheist.

(Anonymous) 2024-11-21 12:52 am (UTC)(link)
How and where would they deport atheists?

that's what I don't understand, the "where" aspect. It didn't start with the orange fucksquirrel either. Bush openly said atheists weren't American citizens and got away with it. If he had said any religion wasn't Americans he would have gotten in lots of trouble.

Do you really wanna stay in the land of God, Guns, and God-Given Guns then?

You can't come here by the way. You need somewhere that has given up on God entirely. Uh... Vatican City meets that bill, you believe in money and lawyers right?

that's the thing about Trump. he's such a habitual liar that people just make up whatever they want to believe he says or doesn't say. and if he says something they find uncomfortable, they just say he's "joking" or lying because he always lies. he's Schrodinger's Asshole at this point. his followers can just choose to believe he says whatever them want him to say.

Understanding Tariffs and What They Do (video)

Found this while watching another channel. I admit my understanding of tariffs was very basic, but I also knew that the way Trump wishes to impose them is bad, bad news.

I said this during his first reign and Im saying again: I should not know more on how things like this work than the damn President of the United States.

You mean the way Elon wants to impose them. And the way the millionaires flattering Trump want to impose them.

I wonder how much more busted the education system is if people don't know this. People IRL are talking about how everything will be cheaper and the eceonmy will improve next year (lol), but... you pay the tariffs. Not other countries, like Trump claimed in the debate.

So many small business owners in a community I'm adjacent to will be fucked over by this, damn.

Biden's new policy on Ukraine is dumb and dangerous.

I get why he is doing it, he wants more of a legacy than "lost to Trump twice, once when he wasn't even running", but he already had a perfect strategy on Russia. We were bleeding Russia dry, in a way they would take generations to recover from. A quick defeat means a quicker rearming process and we have to do this all again in twenty years. Giving Ukraine just enough aid to bog down Russia, but not quite so much it causes Russia to fold or escalate, meant they were going to keep spending money and Russian lives they just could never replace. And we could have done this for a couple of decades with negligible loss to the West. It was a slamdunk.

Now Biden is gambling on Russia folding, and not Putin deciding if he loses then we all have to lose and escalating to nukes. And that is just stupid.

We need to go back to the slowly bleeding them dry approach.

how did biden "lose to trump twice"? - the man ran one campaign against trump, which he won. the only two people to have lost an election to trump are clinton and harris.

(Anonymous) 2024-11-21 07:44 am (UTC)(link)
"And we could have done this for a couple of decades with negligible loss to the West."

... so what are all of the Ukrainians who die in the process, chopped liver?

(Anonymous) 2024-11-21 12:23 pm (UTC)(link)
And Russians too. Both countries have forced conscription.

"I get why he is doing it, he wants more of a legacy than "lost to Trump twice, once when he wasn't even running","

I don't think that's why Biden's doing it. Even if he wanted more of a legacy, there'd be easier ways to achieve that than stepping up the U.S.' involvement with Ukraine and Russia, so that seems like a silly theory. I read this article on it and it was interesting:

https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2024/11/trump-biden-russia-putin-ukraine-zelensky-missiles.html

If true, then he's trying to do exactly what you mentioned - maintain a difficult holding pattern and keeping Russia in check.

How I hate USA government and people that support it. Like now many are happy that Haitians are being deported but just 80 years ago USA ruled over Haiti and bled them dry. USA is the cancer of the World.

(Anonymous) 2024-11-21 01:59 pm (UTC)(link)
I just wish more Americans would get a clue about how their own government actually works (Of course, this isn't just an issue with America). I understand why education standards have been dropping but it still sucks.

For the record, a lot of us oppose what's happening to Haitians and other immigrants (assuming Trump gets his way). Unfortunately, yet another percentage of us would rather bury our heads in the sand and pretend what's happening outside our own circles doesn't exist.

Ah yeah, fuck all the Americans who're stuck here and will die if the government collapses altogether. We're acceptable sacrifices instead of trying to make it fucking better. Nope, just gut it and kill all them disabled people in the process. Not like they contribute anything!

If you can't tell, I'm disabled and all I can do is make what's here better. I can't run--nowhere takes disabled people. Because we don't contribute. But y'all who live outside love to pretend we don't exist so you can spout on about killing America and how it'll be better for everyone.

I'm so fucking tired of being everyone's acceptable sacrifice.

The slowly bleeding them dry approach hasn't been working. Ukraine needs means to resist and fight back. It's as simple as that. If you prefer letting Ukranians die in the meantime (and brainwashed Russian soldiers too) that's your choice. Also Putin is gonna do what Putin is gonna do because he isn't a sensible man and doesn't care for any human lives but his own.

(Anonymous) 2024-11-21 07:13 pm (UTC)(link)
The slow bleeding them dry has been working, the key word being that it is slow. You can't go slow in a hurry, ya gotta let time take its toll. This is a multi-decade process. We're not even a full decade into this project.

Wow. Predictably, Gaetz isn't getting the approval Trump wants him to have.

https://apnews.com/article/gaetz-trump-fbi-justice-department-248b46ba0c882dd46d661568e8bd3bd7

How do you people feel about this?

(Anonymous) 2024-11-21 08:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Actually good about this. I didn’t think Gaetz had the ability to be AG, much less a good one.
