action works. but we don’t talk about that on lemmy.

no rush, I doubt there will be surprises

I don’t need to ask, I know the answer already: money.

about a decade ago the fossil fuel interests of this planet decided their profits were worth more than the rest of humanity surviving and they went all in. it dates back to 50 years ago when their own scientists warned them, and the world about the possibilities.

money is the driver.

this is a trap. https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2025/11/24/2355344/-He-Was-Against-Extending-The-ACA-Subsidy-And-That-Led-To-A-Shutdown-Then-Today-Happened-TACO

would not be surprised one bit.

I totally believe there’s something there. Too many red flags - like not bringing interpreters on talks w/ putin. and keeping nuclear secrets in the guest bathroom at mar a lago.

I think people will look back and really be disappointed in this generation for doing nothing about this

yeah, I mean… as much as we do today. like, you know this isn’t the first time foreign collusion has delivered a republican to the white house? nixon did it. LBJ literally called it treason.

Then reagan did it 20 years later with iran. then sent them weapons for the f14s purchased by the Shah.

we know these things are true, but some people either don’t care about history or care more about hurting brown people and taking women’s rights.

This era of American politics will be studied for centuries.

well put. I was wondering the other day - will any of them see consequences? I just couldn’t decide if it was generations away, or five years away.

and yeah, russia looms over every aspect of his 45/47 shitshow. meetings without translators (!), fucking ukraine over, past visits to moscow, parnas, the NRA, it’s like: yeah, we get it. he’s compromised. very compromised. then he stashes nuclear secrets in his fucking guest bathroom.

like, any single one of these should DOOM a presidency into infamy and wreck the party that rode it in, but…

$. and a spineless congress, and a bought and paid for supreme court, + citizens united = we’re fucked and no lube is on the horizon

burn them down before they destroy the biosphere.

yes but for which one?

for me it’s hard to decide which is worse treason, sending your pack of howler monkeys to smear shit around the capitol while screaming for the vice president’s head,

OR,

stealing classified documents including nuclear force deployments, and keep them in your fucking bathroom?

There’s plenty more, but those two are the ones that stick in my brain.

Just that he would be bad enough for American government to realize that “well, we can’t let that happen again” and get corruption out of our system.

valid. I thought, on j6, “well thank goodness this is the end of him”… because no country in their right mind would let that shit pass.

and here we are. fuck.

I remember hoping he would be enough for America to get corporate money out of government.

you really fell for that?

a man who’s bankrupted himself multiple times and failed at casinos, you think someone like that is going to ‘get corporate money out of government’?

I mean it’s easy with hindsight, we all made silly fucking assumptions. I assumed that after toying with this idiocy that we’d elect clinton, suck it up, and drive on with a democracy, because tho there’s a huge racist streak in america, no one would vote that cynically in the face of utter incompetence and stupidity.

silly fucking assumptions.

greek statue accounts

I missed this… assuming it’s the same as statue pfp… fascinating

greyrock that shit. they want to troll the libs, if you react to their fascist shit it’s giving them what they want.

couch fucker is too chicken shit to invoke the 25th.

same with the GOP. They could end this TOMORROW. See how quick the epstein vote went? We could have a new president by Monday.

But that would take them caring about their own country more than the stochastic terrorism that would come from such a move.

I’m not holding my breath. But you’re completely right, he’s sundowning hard - see how he slobbered over the Zorhan visit? it’s because they only remember the last thing they were told; he literally just met the guy and is like “eh he’s a friend! he called me a fascist and that’s ok!”

tapioca for brains at best.

mass of funds. corps have larger available capital to spend, individuals, even collectivized, do not.

maybe president.

jesus h that would be a bad timeline

Norman Greenbaum represennnnnnnnt

cage in the sky?

I mean… I haven’t given hamster valhalla MUCH thought but I’d have imagined they’d be tunneling endless labyrinths to store their hot hamster maidens/fuckbois in.

no dribble bottle, they drink mead from casks and slay their enemies with razor sharp incisors

yeah you seem like a real gem.

Ok I’m out.

yeah you move out high speed, we’ll call you when we need you. pfft.
