And, as I pointed out, no civilisations have made it that far, either, so I don't find your point as comforting as you do.
No, dipshit, he enforces it - as SO many others have pointed out here - by using its power over federal apparatus, mainly by cutting off cash. XOs do have the power of law in that area, as the article you are cherry-picking does point out.
My point with North Korea - they are proving that it isn't common but that it can be done - so far.
The longest running of modern times would have to be the Kim dynastic dictatorship in North Korea, I believe - 1948 to 2025 and still going. I'm sure I'll end up down that Wiki rabbit-hole before the day is out. 🙂
"Both executive orders and proclamations have the force of law, much like regulations issued by federal agencies, so they are codified under Title 3 of the Code of Federal Regulations ..." So, sure, man - tell me more 🙄
A fate that may very well befall this civilisation, given climate change and whatnot.
At some point is a very amorphous concept which can be multiple generations away, so this may go on longer than any of us would even realise. No dictatorship lasting since the beginning of history is not that comforting as a great deal of the civilisations that spawned them have disappeared as well.
These people in 1933: "don't be so single issue about Jewish rights"
The Trump regime is taking numerous steps every day to lock Vance in as his follow-up. Peter Thiel and his ilk expect returns on their investments. It's real. You can read about it in papers every single day.
To spell it out, the reason I hate democrats so much and criticize them more than I do republicans is because they take up all the space for opposition to republicans and use that space to give republicans whatever the fuck they want.
Starry-eyed bullshit.
Because they'll adapt to whatever the situation is at the time. No one can foresee where Federalist Society freaks will go to support whatever Trump wants to do, but you can rest assured that they exist and will do it. If they find the right code words to appease SCROTUS, it'll be signed off on.
See below.
Yep. It'll take decades to even try to undo what he has done already, given GOP court control and such. Any attempt to reverse his policies will be ruled unconstitutional by the Roberts Court.
Sure, bruh, that's - generally - the accusation that everyone has parroted like it actually stops anything, as Trump has done pretty much what he's wanted to for the past few months. All the empty, starry-eyed bullshit epitomised on here sure as fuck hasn't stopped him.
Yeah, no one can answer that.
Exactly.
Like the current SCROTUS cares about relevance ...
Absolutely this.
Yep, this is what all these internet badasses never want to answer. The one dude that was "I'll act like a free person" ... okay, all the people in El Salvador did that, too, until they ended up in a foreign prison. 🤷♂️
I don't know who originally wrote it or remember who I first heard it from but "A liberal is someone who opposes every war except the current war and supports all civil rights movements except the one that’s going on right now." is the truest thing ever said and it just keeps on getting truer
No, it simply does not. History points out myriad dictators that have died on satin sheets in luxury beds, and to suggest otherwise is somewhere between disingenuous and dishonest.
I have high hopes. Recent "The Best Horror of the Year" anthologies just have not scared me, which is the cardinal sin in horror anthology editing.
No, it rings true because people have always had a weakness for stories that tell of endings we wish would happen instead of what actually happens, the same reason fairy tales and mythologies have persisted. They tell nice stories that people like about things that never, ever happen in real life.
🤣
“AIPAC shakur” 😬
Anti-Zionism is not antisemitism.
I have never seen a tortoise in real life even get close to outrunning a rabbit. 🤷♂️
There are myriad examples throughout history where it has been far too little, far too late. This is yet another one. Dems are done. 28% approval rating against the most unpopular president ever, one they have lost two out of three elections to. The tortoise is a fable, which is nice to tell kids
Too little, too late, plutocrat.
Well, a high 20s/low 30s approval rate will do that, Tim.
Extraordinary interview in which an author—taking advantage of a 20-minute-long segment on a high profile platform to whet appetites for his forthcoming polemic—proves incapable of articulating the book’s thesis or saying anything comprehensible. Word goulash
That depends on how much force is brought to bear.
Nice try, Tina. Eat shit.
People get elected and go to work next to these Nazis and somehow allow themselves to think that the enemy is human and has a conscience or gives a damn or whatever.
Where ya been, Jeff? This is just the latest affront; the only thing that is new is that they no longer care if everyone knows.
Fake. :(
What did you expect? MAGA are scum.
Go find it on ANY of their fucking media platforms, social or otherwise. I'll wait. It's fake.
@thetnholler.bsky.social is there a legit source for this yet?
I'd say history says violence does a Hell of a job compared to every other tactic. No one likes it, but it gets the objective done.
It doesn't. All the non-violence cheerleaders never mention the circumstances that keep non-violence from working. www.google.com/search?q=whe...
No source for the image that anyone here could find.
@nytimes.com I remember when y'all didn't suck. Seems like a million years ago, as you carry water for Trump and his Nazi thugs. Please have the good grace to go out of business and never publish anything again, as you suck now and are further destroying whatever legacy you had.
This is just not true. The majority view among researchers at this point is that work requirements do not work. There is a reason they do not cite a single study here.
"Ice has become Trump’s private militia. It must be abolished" It's become fashionable for even progressive politicians to diss the 'Abolish ICE' movement. I make the political and moral case for abolition in my latest for @GuardianUS, with receipts: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
They're outnumbered 6-3. Not sure how anyone's going to win against those numbers.
That's President Bitch, thank you.
really reminded in some responses to ICE arrests of 2020–when some new to protesting police tried to limit opposition to “militarized police” or “unaccountable police,” maybe in an effort to make the police murdering people seem like a departure from the norm and not a feature of policing

To be fair it's hard for the crew to focus on things while the loudspeaker is blasting 'Yakity Sax'.
A lesson none of these people will learn: everyone's "waste" is someone else's "critical service." You don't care when this or that program you don't directly rely on gets cut; don't be surprised when someone who doesn't directly rely on your program doesn't care when it gets cut.
James Carville went on Chris Cuomo's show calling David Hogg contemptible and saying he might sue him for not being sufficiently loyal to Democratic incumbents Two weeks later, Andrew Cuomo announces he's creating a new party
Here’s your glimpse of heaven
You can't expect a wolf not to be a wolf. If you're having trouble with wildlife interacting with livestock on public land Get your cattle off public land If you're having trouble with wildlife taking livestock or pets on private land. Build a better fence The onus in on the human Not the wolf
lol
Throw the onions in the bin, especially the red one.
i will say again that given the trajectory of the white house so far, strident opposition a la 2017 would have absolutely been the most prudent and effective decision and the absence of that opposition in the first two months made things demonstrably worse.
Only to move to the U.N.
Some Dems are incapable of understanding their power to shape public opinion. They spend their careers chasing it. I suspect there’s a few reasons why but one is they don’t care about the issue at hand thus unwilling to invest the time and political capital to define the terms of debate.
if you call the bad guys the slur, you're only legitimizing their dehumanizing language and reinforcing their assertion that the people commonly refered to by that slur are subhuman and therefore subject to enslavement/extermination. you're welcome. now stop being an asshole.
To my liberal friends waking up and looking around
"Partiotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel." - Samuel Johnson So glad I always saw it that way. I've never viewed patriotism as something anyone should be proud of. It's a round Earth, and your place of birth is essentially a crap shoot.
I didn't say give up; I just said give up useless things.
Nope, people didn't complain enough. They were all go along, get along with their Nazi next-door neighbours. Everyone should've complained more instead of kumbaya-ing with such folks.
Already done that. They DO NOT CARE. They will tell you that they are there to give Trump a blank check. I have too few years left in my life to waste any of them beating my head against that particular wall.
The one here was widely ridiculed, which honestly it should've been. Dems made fun of Clint Eastwood a few years back for talking to an empty chair, and what's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.🤷♂️
I am so worried. You're a clown. Join the Goddamn circus.
Is anything you champion making any difference? Has anything changed? Are you just going to keep doing useless things?
If you have any data suggesting such a wave, let's see it. Dems have been fucking useless since the start of the regime, and all the performative Booker speeches haven't stopped them continuing to lose seats in Congress. Controlled opposition at its finest.
Go fuck yourself and your Pollyanna bullshit.
Exactly. Much ado about nothing.
I'll take the under on that.
And they'll go 80/20 Republican next election.
Yes, it is. We are the bestest shithole country.
So sell that shit to the stupid or the tourists. They MIGHT buy it.
And you're just an idiot who thinks any of this is fixable, playing by some "protest" handbook.
You're just writing to people who do not care if you exist, who didn't even read what you wrote. If that makes you feel like you did something, good for you, but it's worthless overall.
Neither does any of the supposed "resistance". It's performative bullshit that's being ignored, for the most part. America doesn't have the guts to do much else, though I'm sure your letter to SCOTUS straightened them right out. 🙄 🖕
That cat is already out of the bag. Congress doesn't care, and neither does SCOTUS. Everyone can raise all the Hell they want, but Trump doesn't care, either. So, I mean, I see no logical reason to have hope. If you do, that's cool, but I do not.
They do not answer the phone, or if they do, they start lecturing their constituents. They do not listen. Likewise, they have automated email responses that always end with how they are there to give Trump a blank check. They do not go to their local offices and do not have town halls. 🤷 I've tried
Nice bumper sticker, but there's very little I can do as a caregiver for a child and a disabled wife.
Damn near sixty years has taught me futility is real, and sometimes - to quote Dr. Cornel West - all one can do is bear witness. That's where we are. All the laws, traditions, etc. that this country has preened about for so long are worthless.
Yeah, it's amazing how they had four years to prepare for his return and didn't. The other party doesn't give a damn about either of the things you mentioned, and one would think Dems would've realised that.
Yep.
If you're the Dems, you send out endless fundraising emails and do nothing. Congress isn't going to do anything. Game's over, if I had to wager.
There's no such thing as impeachment. If it's never been successfully used since 1789 then it's a myth. Like checks and balances, which we all believed was the law but was apparently just a gentlemen's agreement that terminated on electing someone who could never be called a gentleman.
Usually nothing.
My family stays hidden. I trust no one down here, and I say that as a Southern white male veteran, all the things that the QOP claims to be for.
Then there is NO way because they do not listen and do not care.
Yep. The military will back Trump, as well.
It'll never happen.
Not when locals wish to exterminate you, with the blessings of the local pols and pigs. LA is a different ball game, but here? There is no protection.
No, all the decades of the Dems being GOP-lite greased the skids to this. Trump bears a great deal of the blame, but Dems' abandonment of working-class America is on them.
