My family and I left the US in 2016 and settled in Australia. We haven't stepped foot in the US since.

America has always had a strained relationship with the concept of democracy from day 1 in which only rich white men could vote. We had some progress for a while, but it looks like they've given up entirely on even maintaining the illusion of freedom and government for, by and of the people.
Local police departments should be in the business of protecting citizens from masked criminals who make communities unsafe, not helping it happen. They should be intervening and standing between the people of their city and those who come to terrorize them.
Less educated are easier to manipulate and control, which is why it's tempting for bad actors to sabotage the education the masses receive. Critical thinking, logic and deductive reasoning skills aren't taught in schools. Wouldn't want people learning how to question what they're told after all.
On your own computer, you can delete permanently either by reformatting the drive or overwriting the memory on the drive. Otherwise, yes, whatever you've deleted is still there until it's overwritten. You don't have that level of control with the cloud. I dont store anything on the cloud, ever.
Well, yes and no. The debt can be paid in full tomorrow because it's payable in US dollars. No one wants that because it would cause massive hyperinflation and devaluation. Debt per MMT investments in the economy can be good. Debt because you refuse to tax your billionaires is bad. This is bad.
And that's IF there's anything on the grocery store shelf. Prepare for Covid level emptiness.
Maybe ruling that the president could do whatever the fuck he wanted with no regard to the law had that affect, huh?
No, I'd say bomb threats to 217 polling places exclusively in democrat districts in swing states that closed the affected voting places for hours beats that.
You clearly have not read the Art of War by Sun Tzu. I strongly recommend it so that you can understand things better.
Ya can't just roll over unless you're a coward. The stakes are too high. Its not about winning anyway, its about inflicting enough losses on Russia that, like Afghanistan in 1979, they eventually have to pull out. I think to that end they've been quite successful. There's a price to be paid.
To be clear, a much smaller, less equipped nation had managed to hold off the entire Russian military for years as opposed to being rolled over and taken in a week. I'd say they're doing better than anyone could hope for.
Trump isn't the disease, he's the symptom. Trump could die tomorrow, Vance would step in and nothing would change because the oligarchs who fund the Heritage Foundation and created Vance remain. Trump isn't making policy. He's a puppet.
The numbers are all juiced to make the dumb loser look good. But like a house of cards, it'll all come tumbling down when the truth is revealed in other ways. Were headed for a monster crash bigger than 2008 and maybe will rival 1929 at this pace. Hold on to your butts!
Ukraine has taught us much about the future of warfare and how a small force with the right strategy can thwart a much larger, more powerful force.
Always. Have you punched a Nazi today? It's your civic duty!
If unidentified masked criminals are beaten and shot by people defending themselves and their families, I'd be okay with that. For those saying it'll just give Trump justification for martial law, he's gonna do that anyway. That's domestic abuse mentality. "Don't anger him so he doesn't beat us."
Probably. Were you under the impression that billionaires are generally held accountable for their actions?
To be clear, there's still ways around it. The billionaire can run $20k through each of say 100 employee names and pay them a small bonus to do it as an example But yes, it's a step in the right direction. You might not eliminate the problem totally, but at least you can make it more difficult.
Americans are constantly told they live in the "greatest nation on earth". By what standard? Prisoners? Mass shootings? Billionaire tax rates? On criteria that impacts most people and their lives, the US doesn't crack the top 25. We moved to Australia and are grateful to be here every day. 🇦🇺
Very funny. Thanks for sharing.
Mmm, the cancer causing toxic waste dumps are indeed beautiful in the afternoon, aren't they?
The only pussy hes ever seen in real life is in the mirror.
Something happened for sure. No one in power demanded any recounts. No one questioned the veracity of the result. They rolled on their bellies and surrendered despite correctly telling us that if Trump was allowed in, it would be the end of the nation and democracy. A lot of shady shit here.
I've always said at worst Texas is purple. Were it not for gerrymandering, voter suppression, voter intimidation and other rigging tactics, Texas, like most states, would be blue. Republican policies are wildly unpopular and hurt most people. The only way they can keep power is to rig it.
Unless the intent was to make the wall too hot for Americans trying to escape the country. Walls are as good at keeping people in as out.
Yep
They are constantly blaming Biden for shit Trump was president for. Trump appointed Powell, Trump was in charge when Epstein was arrested and killed, Trump was president when Covid hit. But they love to rewrite history, dont they? It was Biden! Slavery was good, all immigrants are criminals, etc.
"Reject the evidence of your eyes and ears"
If you think Newsom sounds ridiculous as he mocks Trump, then you're not considering how absurd the source material is. The right is too dumb to understand parody.
The DOJ has been using coercion to get guilty pleas for decades. How do you think they have a 98% conviction rate? Now, it's just more public and obvious than it used to be. Threats to add charges, strip citizenship, deport, treat the target as a terrorist, etc. are nothing new for them.
Thanks to right wing led laws like the castle doctrine in some states, you can shoot these people if they haven't properly identified themselves and in particular, if they pose a threat. I'm very surprised we're not seeing more shootings as people defend themselves and their families.
It's unlikely that elections will be canceled because that would signal that democracy is truly dead. It's more likely that election results and configurations will be rigged to ensure that their power is never at risk. It'll be the illusion of democracy, but everyone will know it's a sham.
Not the first time Jordan has covered for pedophiles and sexual predators. That alone should tell you all you need to know about the quality of his character.
He needs to ensure that the Illinois national guard and all law enforcement agencies in Illinois are acting on behalf of the people of Illinois and protecting them from any element that may threaten them rather than cooperating with and helping said elements.
I can see why Dean Cain doesn't wear a mask like other ICE Gestapo. No one is gonna recognize him anyway.
If Cracker Barrel is your culture, you have no culture. This manufactured outrage was brought to you by the same people who got angry because the green m&m wasn't sexy enough. Just to put it in perspective.
Which, putting aside the whole nighttime issue that this band of morons forgot about is the fact that they're climbing up on the Mexico side, which isn't painted black. When you out the absolute dumbest people in charge of things, you get an idiocracy.
The fact that they're out there as this fascist Trump regime tries to chase them out of the fields, and without whom your grocery shelves would be bare, is truly spectacular. I suspect if those shelves did go bare, people might appreciate these amazing workers a whole lot more.
I just get depressed when I watch Sorkins work now. It's so idealistic, reminding us of what we could have aspired to.
I can't even watch the West Wing anymore. Smart, competent people working hard for a president with strong moral character and the conviction to serve for the good of the nation and its people... We've moved as far away from that aspiration as possible and are living in a corrupt idiocracy instead.
It's not like she doesn't have a lot of very strong reasons to lie or anything.
There are people who prefer a comfortable lie to the harsh truth. I'm not one of them.
Part of me wants to believe there's good people who want to help and would refuse illegal orders against US citizens. And part of me is cynical and thinks this kind of feel good video could be staged propaganda. Even if it wasn't, I could see the administration doing it going forward.
Idiocracy. The US is being led by the absolute dumbest of the dumb in the country. As these dummies continue to destroy the country, smart people will have to choice but to get the fuck out. That's how you get Idiocracy. Not just birth patterns, brain flight.
All on Wall Street, CEOs & business owners should be shitting bricks right now The government taking ownership positions in companies for no reason other than extortion should get people off their asses. But it won't because none of those fucks think it'll happen to them until it does.
Either there will never be an election again (insert excuse here), or elections will continue to be rigged as they were in 2024. Free and fair elections are over. Those clinging to 2026 and 2028 as a way out of this nightmare, sorry. You're gonna have to fight your way out of it.
The government forcibly taking ownership of companies sounds a lot like the scare communism (not real communism) that the right keeps warning us about. He's copying the Putin playbook of making oligarchs fork over chunks of their companies for his personal enrichment.
But stopping covid testing eliminated covid, right? Wait, you mean if I stick my head in the sand, the world DOESN'T disappear?
Im sure the administration will comply right away, right?
Garland never should have been AG and im dumbfounded how that happened. He was always a moderate conservative which is why Obama put him up for SCOTUS thinking he'd get confirmed. He wasn't. Biden never should have had a Republican AG, plain and simple. Big mistake.
CA, WA, IL, NY, MA...do your thing. For every seat these lawless fascists try to steal, we'll take back 2. They have no interest in democracy or rule by the people. You can't play by the old rules when the other guy is ignoring them.
The right is too dumb to understand satire.
How is anyone this stupid?
Another brilliant idea from folks who have never heard of nighttime. Dumb, dumb and more dumb from the dumbest dummies in the country.
Im seriously considering not paying my federal taxes come next April. Until my taxes go to benefit the people as a whole and not a handful of billionaires, until the billionaires pay a rate that is fair and until my money isnt used to break the law and terrorize my neighbors, I won't pay. Fuck em!
You can't play by the rules and expect to win if the other side is ignoring the rules or making them up as they go along.
Trump insults those he's afraid of. You can tell how afraid by how many times he does it and what the timestamp on the post is.
Are they unaware of night? When the dumbest of the dumb are in charge of things, you get an idiocracy
Right. So if you applied that to a few key precincts in swing states, it would be enough to flip it, yet what kills me is no one demanded verification. They all rolled over on their backs and allowed democracy to end without a fight.
How many Rockland, NY situations are there in which 0 people voted for Harris in a precinct despite normal downballot Dem votes and a reasonably large Dem presence in the area? No one demanded hand counts. No one wants to investigate what really happened. 2024 was a statistical impossibility.
He also had a "modeling" agency whose purpose was to entice and traffic teen girls. Also, not a coincidence.
He knows elections are bad for him and his ilk. They had to rig the last one to get him in. Democracy in the US is almost dead, and there's a huge number of people who aren't sufficiently or at all bothered by this fact.
I've spent plenty of time in DC and like any city it has good areas and bad. But nothing any normal person can't handle. This isn't about crime. it's a test run for martial law. The Nazis also used "crime", immigrants and homeless as justifications for increasing their authoritarian presence.
Meal Team 6, reporting for duty! I'd like to thank the Gravy Seals for their service.
During the LA fires, Guttenberg was talking about moving cars to a reporter and his efforts to help in the neighborhood. The reporter, having no clue who he was, asked his name. One of the better clips to come out of that tragedy.
I've never had a bad experience here and frankly, when 9 people sit at a table with a Nazi, there's 10 Nazis at the table. Im not about to go sit at that Nazi table.
Charlie Kirk is too stupid to realize that South Park was mocking him, not glorifying him.
When they're too dumb not to take the bait.
I'd say that's illegal, but Republicans aren't interested in following the law, so her rights are nonexistent.
Thanks for having the courage to point out the obvious. Perhaps you'll use your power to consider the possibility of maybe forming a committee to explore the idea of writing a strongly worded letter...or not.
He dies in office, having never faced any actual consequence for any of his crimes or immoral choices. JD takes over, and predictably makes things far, far worse. If believing Trump will be punished in Hell makes you feel better, go for it, but my guess is that it doesn't work that way.
Im confident that Trump would give Alaska to Russia if Putin asked for it. That's how shitty and weak the current state of affairs is. This administration will be the literal end of the United States.
To anyone who thinks Israelis and Jews in general support the hardline Israeli government, you're dead wrong. The media isn't reporting the mass demonstrations by Israelis or that Netenyahu is viewed as Israel's Trump. Unpopular and out of control.
The MSM self censoring and capitulating to Trump, agencies reporting only favorable results and his own constant stream of easily disproven lies wears people down so they can't trust anything they're told and are incapable of recognizing truth when they hear it.
Dean Cain won't need to wear a mask as an ICE agent because no one is going to recognize him anyway.
When the law is lawless, there is no law. If you're still playing by their rules as they make them up as they go along, you're a fool.
People's behavior becomes incredibly dickish when they feel they have anonymity. Its why internet trolls say things they'd never have the balls to say to your face. My guess is these ICE cowards are too chickenshit to say and do the things they do without their masks and lack of identification.
Join ICE, get a sig ing bonus, and then do your job really badly.
To be fair, I dont think those people cost the election. I think the election was rigged (quite obviously too if you look at the results, see Rockland, NY) and the Dems rolled over onto their bellies and refused to question or challenge any of the nonsensical results.
Yeah, coz there's no such thing as an American car. Half the parts come from Canada, Mexico and China. That Budweiser or Coke you're drinking, the aluminum for the can came from Canada. That coffee you're drinking, South America. This isolationist US doing everything fantasy is pure bullshit.
He just makes up his own little reality as he goes along, which is great if he's a mental patient but not so good if that person has nuclear codes.
I bet money the "FBI" guys either aren't FBI or are but have been pulled into this bullshit rather than actual federal law enforcement of significant criminal activity. Im leaning to the former over the latter. Either way, dox these Nazi fucks.
As Colbert himself said, the mistake they made was they left him "alive." As long as he doesn't breech contract in what he presents, he no longer has to fear pressure from "upstairs."
Well when you put the dumbest, most incompetent people in charge of things and fire a huge swath of people who were good at their jobs and keeping things running, yeah, bad things are gonna start happening. There's not a lot of mystery to this.
When he leaves office? The only way he's leaving office is in a coffin.
Inmates at an FPC MUST be nonviolent, no sex offenders, and less than 10 years on their sentence per BOP regulations. She doesn't qualify on many levels and could've only made it with high up strings being pulled, which wouldn't have been pulled unless she made a deal to lie for Trump.
Did you know that per BOP policy, sex offenders and people with more than 10 years left on their sentence can't be transferred to an FPC? Things that make you go Hmmmm?
These people work harder than most and get treated worse for it.
To be clear, an FPC is NOT a cushy luxury prison. It does offer more freedom of movement than higher security prisons and is therefore a better place to be, but it's still prison. Being a sex offender with more than 10 years on her sentence, Maxwell wouldn't qualify...unless strings were pulled.
If you're following all the rules while competing against someone who is breaking all of them, you'll never win. Hence, the reason Rs have the house, senate, presidency, and SCOTUS. They wouldn't have any of it without gerrymandering, suppression, and intimidation.
Yes, and the administration always obeys court orders, right? Right?
How do we know this isn't real footage?
Every few generations, these assholes forget that when they get too greedy at the expense of everyone else, head start getting lopped off. Its why they got so scared of Luigi. They're scared the rest of us will wake up. It's time for a reminder lesson.
The thing is...people rise to a level that is just above their abilities and then do that job just well enough not to get fired. So if there's an adult working the drive-through, there may be a good reason for that, and such a person's skills and intelligence isn't indicative of their generation.
This demented dum dum child rapist doesn't know how math works... And you want him in charge? I wouldn't put him in charge of a hot dog cart!
He didn't think the numbers were wrong. He thought they didn't flatter him and the reality of his stupidity was evident.
Sticking your head in the sand doesn't make the world go away. When no one can rely on the accuracy of the data, it makes planning difficult. You can only cover up a failing economy for so long before the cracks appear. By then, the damage will be immeasurable.
Yes, more taxes on the poor and middle class in the form of tariffs to pay for giant tax cuts for billionaires is great for the country... If you're a billionaire. Not so great if you're in the other 99.9%.
