This is fascism. The state and industry merging is definition fascism. You are correct when it belongs to the people it's communism and this is not that

Intel is honestly more straight fascism and the left needs to represent it correctly and not besmirch Communism
I try
What if this is the dumbest post I'll read today?
When you look at shootings done by trans people it's 100% of the time! There are statistics, Gorka statistics and lies
I would say it's another case of Dems being weak. We need to say "fuck them" because they don't deserve it
The international border.
Well at least he's self aware, it's a first step
So prison. He's describing putting our kids in prison.
Unused? Does he understand how kidneys work? (sorry why did I even ask)
Border Patrol has pretty much unlimited rights to check for border violations/immigration status anywhere within 100 miles of the border. Which is where 2/3rds of Americans lives.
Perfect circle on a Venn diagram. And still haven't fucking learned
Tell you what Karoline, you believe in that power and I'll put you in that church pew while I have an AR-15. See if you pray those bullets away. I'm willing to put it to the test if you are.
Trump has no documented history of forcing himself on anyone and having to pay them millions of dollars of damages for having done so.
Is alarmed above or below concerned on the Collins scale? I lose track
If you think Newsom is the candidate of transphobia, if that's his platform then I just can't. I'm not even saying I like the guy but that's an insane position.
Oh I've read. The same BS for people only the left slitting their own throats for 30 years. With a dull spoon not even a dull knife.
Those aren't valid concerns with Dems. Period.
Be serious, the GOP has worked with stacking Courts, acquiring media, gerrymandering, the Federalist society, etc for 50 years. Neoliberal Dems aren't good. Clinton >>>>>>>>>Trump. The enemy of good is perfect
Same bullshit as Genocide Joe and how did that work
No I said this is why we have Trump now and not voting Dem - presented by the OP as Newsom not me - is voting GOP. Not my scenario
If they are valid? Sure. Trust me, nothing anyone says here will affect my feelings in the slightest.
And yet we've gone done every switch of the trolley we warned about and wound up at the inevitable end of Trump and possibly the end of democracy. So we were right. Proven in reality. Instead of incremental change left you let them win incremental change right. This is 50 yrs of GOP work
And voting GOP will help that? And if you think that's Newsom's - or any Dems candidate's - position you are an embryo not childish.
Yeah Newsom is young Trump. Do you fall down much? This stupid shit is why we lose.
Again that is the supposition of the OP. Ask them. But do continue to be pedantic. This "I'm not voting for X" talk is silly because we have no idea who X will be and it doesn't matter. If you have to pinch your nose and vote Dem, do so. Just stop with the "I'm not" tantrums
But that is her given premise. If we've been in a vote blue no matter who situation this is it.
Ask her. It's her premise. But given the premise if you follow through the zero sum nature of American politics is that not voting Dem is voting GOP. And all the foot stomping in the world won't change that.
Yeah but you get a year to fix the problem. Starving doesn't give you that chance. Catching on yet?
She made up the conundrum which is the whole point of the post. And if you think the binary is fictional learn how our political system works.
Childish? Her position is the naive childish position. The continued lack of real world understanding and childish purity tests on the left are why we have Trump. How is that going today? The point is she put out the hypothetical of voting for Newsom and not voting Dem *is* voting GOP
If your choice was that or starving? Because you don't have an entire aisle of choices - it's binary.
So you are voting for the GOP who are *definitely* virulent transphobes who will actively harm the community. Good choice. And if you say "I'm not voting GOP" - we live in a two party zero sum system. If you don't cast a vote for the Dems you cast a vote for the GOP.
Won't ever happen. 25-30% of America is hardcore racist white nationalists and that won't change - if it ever does - for at least another generation so like 25-30 years.
That's generally the net. So he's 48pts underwater. So that puts it somewhere like 75% disapprove.
No even worse because he mentioned Kill Trump they'll say he's left wing.
It won't take long. The are like fleas, annoying but easy to kill.
He might have given something to Jésus in the parking lot - probably an STD - but definitely not to JC the Big Guy.
Errr....wrong answer Buck. He couldn't even apply for asylum at his last hearings as he was in the US for over a year. But guess who just reset the clock on that by removing him and returning him then US? I'll give you a clue - it's rhymes Numb Tuck Drumpf 😂🤣😂
Ah, Bluesky has made it! I see the MAGAt troll bots have finally tried to show up. Wait until they find out what a site with community standards (or really just standards) is like.
I also think there's an element of dehumanization where they can detach themselves from their actions and they are more intimidating to the people they interact with. But mostly they want to conceal their identities and many have said it on video ("we have families to worry about").
Masking all the time is new because they are ashamed and afraid of being sued
So those agents are tasked over from either admin/desk jobs or other agencies. They put them through a ridiculous bare bones "tactical" training and send them out to help the established ERO teams. ICE always drove unmaked cars and didn't wear uniforms. That's not new.
felons were allowed to apply for federal agencies. People don't understand the number of people - many anti-MAGA - involved in these agencies and activities. What's really sad isn't you *don't* need J6 crazies to reach this level of cruelty
It is literally impossible that they could have applied, been hired and been trained since February. Never mind that ICE started these activities months ago and has not increased significantly in size since last year. Also there has been no policy change made (and we would find out) if pardoned /
These aren't pardoned J6ers! Will this stupid and non-sensical conspiracy theory die please
So thousands of ICE agents appeared six months ago? You do know they have been doing operations for years? Please stop with these silly non-sensical comspiracy theories. The sad and scary truth is these are just "ordinary" federal officers who have no problem being fascists
Awww is it hard for the baby fascists right now? We can give you three square meals and a soft cot if you want out.
They were never in Philadelphia. It was a village in the 1800s made to look like Philadelphia.
You know it's basic eugenics right? They think people with good genes and strong bodies will survive and those that get sick and die just needed to be culled.
Just shut the fuck up. This shit is why we are here. Wake up with your fucking stupid purity tests. You people should be the first to go after the fascists. Fuck all the way off you stupid goddamn idiot.
Nah we all know Trump prefers Redskins
Still not getting it...
Say what you will about Trump, he made the homeless disappear! (And the immigrants, and the gay people, and the socialists, and the black people, and the atheists, and my neighbors and...oh someone is knocking on my door).
These people are going to be organizing a Saturday rally at the flagpole next week in the internment camps. After they write a sternly written letter to the Kommandant 🤦
Nov 5th lol. Fascism isn't on a schedule.
On a Saturday at some non-disruptive site. We need the major arteries of cities clogged at peak work hours. General strikes. Sit-ins surrounding federal buildings. This needs to be a movement larger than any before - Civil Rights, Vietnam, etc.
Every single aspect of it being applied daily
Most parents couldn't do their sixth graders homework and I'd lower that to fourth if we are talking math or science. Most have zero business running education. And the rest are smart enough to leave it to experts with measured input. This is just an attempt to push white "Christian" nationalism
Dumbest President ever. Dubya wakes up everyday knowing his sheet is clean in that regard now.
Don't blame the web designers. That's completely how the business side wants it.
Again, you worry about what you are doing after the war once you win the war. Anyone worried about a Presidential nominee in 2028 isn't paying attention. This country may not last 6 more months.
It takes all kinds of Generals to win a war. All Pattons and you race into danger, All Bradleys and you wait forever to attack. We need both equally and badly right now.
Subway is always an assault on people - and toilets.
Absolutely unenforceable and Unconstitutional order.
It was never an error. It was designed to provoke this entire situation or steamroll the Courts completely. It was a complete trial balloon.
America has a deeply rooted incorrect belief that "it can never happen here" and that belief alone keeps it from happening here. But it has already happened.
Well in this example they are correct. They are saying you could have a chain of separate impeachment trials for the VP, Cabinet, officers, etc. But really if you can get Trump and Vance (actually much much more difficult) then Speaker (who would be Dem if this is occurring) becomes President
That has always been the conservative agenda. Nothing was hijacked. They just stopped pretending.
Conservatism in America - and honestly most Euro countries too - is just dressed up racism and fascism. Always has been. This lot just gave up with all the pretense and went straight to it. The Dems while being corporatist institutionalists are not conservative.
Normal people don't want fascism. What you want is just the fascism of the left and that's what turns people off. Typical leftist who thinks anyone to the right of them is a fascist. You help cause this. Buh bye
No the people so focused on words and Genocide Joe signed up for this mess. And they'll probably do fuck all to fix it.
Clearly you are not following the conversation at all. Jesus Christ.
You just gotta use a rolled up graphic novel as a straw
For 45 years that gets called MAGA or boomer regularly. Now imagine if you are just left of center. The next fight unfortunately isn't likely to be political and I also think the scolds won't be worth much there either. But once it is political again, we need to be reasonable
Nope but we sure as hell aren't going to get much done again when half of the country thinks you're loony or can't keep up with jargon or get judged for using the wrong term. Like I said, this shit has almost single handedly lost Gen X. I say this as a fucking far left liberal socialist/
It doesn't matter if they are Christians, Atheists, Jewish (Stephen Miller), Muslims, Hindus, etc. All Conservatives are the problem.
Also I see like a usual knee jerk liberal you didn't pay at all to my whole message and flew into the usual outrage mode. Way to ruin the barbeque (TM Marc Maron).
Man, you really don't know how the world works. A lot of people in the middle and the left don't like the language police. There's a big reason you lost Gen X and you need to get them back. But thanks for getting your ubiquitous need to say triggered in there. But another punch in your Buzzkill card
should stay like food insecurity. Just saying something like "the hungry/hunger" completely ignores the whole situation.
No he's saying that just use "homeless" not unhoused. "Prisoners" not incarcerated persons. I think some should be dropped completely if Dems want to be competitive (triggered, safe space). The technical ones need to be more normal like above but ones that highlight issues without substitutes /
He watched Rabbit Season, Duck Season a few too many times
If you are talking about the NG deployments those are all Red States that agreed and it's staying under State control. So basically bootlickers and my State is one.
She'll find a way to blame it on some transsexual person.
You can just stop at Conservatives.
That's not what it says. It says the President, Vice President, and all officers can be removed by impeachment. If Trump is impeached and convicted Shady becomes President. And it just lists what are grounds for impeachment. People keep circulating this very incorrect statement.
Oligarch lackeys. They are just the lap dogs
Have you seen the MAGA movement? They'll lap diarrhea straight from Donold's ass if he tells them it's chocolate syrup.
ICE offers up to $50,000 signing bonus for retired employees to return to the job share.google/oFjxZtWy1e7e...
The initial link takes you to paywall. There is zero in that article about how the 50K bonuses are applied. Just a mention of a Miller post. Soo...what are you trying to prove here?
Paywalled. But every article that has details laid out that the 50K was for returning officers not new recruits. And it was spread out over 5 years essentially. They weren't giving out 50K checks as people walked through the door.
I guess Shady doesn't understand what the "unconditional" part of unconditional surrender means.
Great tune!
Or have always been if you subscribe to Coronary Placement Theory and therefore can never go to again
How about how outrageous it wouldn't have been if only *ONE* of those were true? But instead it's all of them
Well the only $50K offer that I ever knew was actually for officers to return so they weren't new recruits and could go to work immediately. And it was like 10K up front, 10K for each of the next 3 years and 10K at severance of service. It wasn't as amazing as people made it out.
But I always go back to the XKCD pain rating strip: xkcd: Pain Rating share.google/93RvMgq2vlLP...
He had the spine of a jellyfish to start with. These people have always been these people. Trump. Didn't. Change. Them.
He was always a soulless puppet. A cuban terrorist Pinocchio that always wished to be a real fascist boy someday and never got his wish.
It's the old quote 1/3 of our citizens will murder 1/3 of our citizens while 1/3 watches
