I'm reminded about when he broke up a protest against police brutality to get a photo op in front of a church in 2020. I guess that sort of thing is just another tuesday
I never forgot about that. But the problem is that every fucking day Trump does something insane. It is actually really, REALLY hard to keep up. When anti-Trumpers do something wrong, it is often the biggest thing they did and people will not shut up about it.
I mean imagine if this a crime like burglary. A guy who did a single burglary years ago has obviously done something wrong, but what if you got a second person who provably did hundreds? I'm sorry, but you can't just focus on the latest shit. Trump has been doing this basically his entire life. He has no redeeming virtues whatsoever. Even during his 'business' days in the 80s and 90s when he was going from failure to failure, he would insult his investors that he didn't screw them up even more... and they would still give him more money for his next failed scheme. I don't get it.
They also don't care he just took a wrecking ball to part of the White House. They don't care that he has crashed the economy or broken the government. They are coward sycophants.
I think the demolition of the White House is particularly poetic. It also shows us what our federal government is willing to let the regime do without input from the commonwealth.
The No Kings numbers was a warning, a bellwether. Let's see if they're able to pick up on what it means.
No kings needs to triple in attendance before people take it seriously. I don't mean that as in insult. And even then it techniqally doesn't do anything directly. If people were serious about all this they would be boycotting American products and entertainment. That probably the realest thing that can be done without bloodshed. no more streaming, no more eating out, no more brand name clothes.... Our money is bloody and it funds Americas nightmare... WE are funding all this. It is US participating. This is something people deny and until people stop denying their part nothing will ever change. Its surreal and takes effort to admit.

The most effective non-violent action we can take is to organize a General Strike.
The country would be brought to its knees if suddenly deprived of profit and labor. That tactic was extremely effective in Chile in 2019, and had they not fallen for the trick of liberal reform, they would've had a successful revolution on their hands with virtually no bloodshed.
If you aren't in a union (or even if you are, it's worth dual-carding), please consider joining the IWW to unionize your workplace (bonus: you'll get higher wages, better benefits, and more time off if you succeed!) to strengthen a general strike if we manage to enact one.
And for our international friends, you should join one as well, as fascism is gaining momentum globally. If your country isn't listed below, just contact the IWW directly in the link above.
when I saw the pictures I thought it perfectly represented the state of the US and our government.
Assholes. All of them.
Not surprising. Turds tend to stick together.
Did you see the video?
Even the AI knows he has issues with his diet.
Not if you eat enough fiber
What about the pee tape?
just imagine Obama doing that during his term. i think half of them would just straight up die to an aneurysm. they had conniptions when he wore a tan suit.
If your not studying organized crime and how to win against it then you aren't living for humanity or the ideas that built this nation.
It's shocking to witness what's happening in the US of A as an outsider.
Well, unfortunately many other countries aren't looking at the USA as a warning, but as an example.
The right wing is gaining ground in a lot of places that should know better.
The warnings were there when the George W. Bush administration was doing all the things. We should have learned then never again to vote Republican, but we did. Twice. For the same monster both times.
We need to be having a sober conversation as to why and how that happened, given democracy doesn't work when people vote based on vibes or propaganda feels.
given democracy doesn’t work when people vote based on vibes or propaganda feels.
Unfortunately, it seems like a lot of people are primarily vibes driven. Everyone is, in some cases or other. For example, a lot of otherwise reasonable people will flip their shit if you suggest eating less meat for environmental or animal welfare reasons. You just get excuses and variations of "but i like it" and "but i'm a good person".
imagine living here.
It’s upsetting but I am the least surprised I could ever be. They’ve had decades of warnings and done nothing about it as things just got worse and worse and even still they refuse to admit where they are.
haha
Oh, man... imagine not reading the news for the last few days and then reading this title.
This is exactly what happened to me just now.
Nothing surprises me anymore.
Did Krasnov experience the same during his Moscow Golden Showers?
We have a bunch of Yes men
Republicans don't understand satire or metaphor. They think trolling is wit.
Human shit would of course support this.
This is the setup to the wildest aristocrats joke. Once somebody releases the video of trump banging his daughter in a room full of shit it will be complete.
They eat his shit daily, so why not watch him play with it
Don't fall for it. Trump is using poop to deflect from the pee. Never forget the pee! Release the Epstein files and put this guy in a cell already. It's finally time for the victim's of these rich powerful people to win one.
Pedofile shits all over America. GOP celebrates
He is using satire to make a point.
If only that were satire
I wish our journalists did ANY amount of push-back because calling it satire is just a red herring and I wish they wouldn't even engage with it.
OK, let's assume it is satire used to make a point. What point exactly was he making? That he IS a king and is shitting on us all?
Shatire. As Sean Connery might have called it.
Shatire.
You just know that was tossed around Colbert's writer's room, before they decided that might wind up with them off the air sooner.
