  • Me? I can tell you what my family was doing during the Holocaust, they were first rounded up, having been betrayed to the Nazis by their Catholic neighbors they had known for generations, after getting directions to do so from their parish priest, shoveled into a Ghetto where half died of starvation and dysentery, then put on cattle cars, and taken to Auschwitz, then used by BMW as slave labor to make their airplane engines, out of dozens, only two survived. That’s what I would have been doing.


  • we. can’t. effect. any. change.

    democrats have no constitutional power without majority in any of the two houses of congress, or three branches of government. unless you’re willing to start a terrorist campaign, not sure what you think the people can do about it now. this was the danger all along, and no one can say, after trump fucking up the global covid response so badly, they didn’t know what was coming.

    the only thing that can move the needle is a general strike, but i have no faith in my fellow democrats to get up off their asses and sacrifice for anyone other than protesting jews in support of islamic terrorism.





  • you think trump thinks his second term is the end of his time as “most powerful person in the world”, after all the indictments and prosecutions still pending? i’d love to have your sort of confidence in what’s going to be left of the tatters of our democratic institutions and military readiness in 2029. i truly think it has something to do with breaking the world, allowing it to suffer, and then remaking it how he (and vlad) want to, celebrating it’s rebirth. they’ve got an open field now, with no one capable of stopping them. what does trump need from putin, nothing, what does he want, everything.


  • “got away from”? what universe are you living in right now, all of trumps nominees, no matter how utterly incapable of performing in the position to which they will be assigned are being rubber stamped by senate republicans as we speak. got away from? republicans have been promising to burn the whole thing down since the civil rights act of 1964. got away from? this is who republican are, and have been since appomatox.


  • And here I saw this as Trump wanting to prove to the country and rest of the world, he’s loco in the cabeza, and that he wanted to make Canada dance by punching them squarely in the nose publicly, while his true target was China (trade) and Mexico (drugs and immigration), so he threw Canada in, to see what he could shake out of their pockets with zero effort. I get wanting to spin this as mockery of the bad man, and Trump is indeed a very terrible human being, but this isn’t a win for anyone, with a 30 day timer counting down, to placate a man who hurts entire countries just because he can.
