Don't blame me, I voted for the other guy. (Politics General)

Unironically yes. It literally operates off “Rules for me, not for thee”.

This isn’t the fucking International Court of Justice, it’s a volunteer operated fan site.

If any of them come here and advocate for murder or genocide we’ll Rule #0 them too.

A man who pretended to be a border patrol agent was arrested and charged with felony kidnapping, impersonating a law enforcement officer, larceny and fraudulent removal or secreting personal property and third-degree assault and battery. More of this will start happening in other parts of the country, so I hope people stay vigilant.

In the latest “China wins by doing absolutely nothing” news, Trump has now announced plans to tariff the EU starting mid-February.

What’s the word on Rump’s relationship with the UK right now?

Is Rump still friendly with the Brexiteers over there?

I wonder who did this

My parents were discussing about how US taking control of Greenland and the Panama Canal is a good thing, because that means China can’t take control of it. They also believe that China will build a base on Greenland or something like that. I was utterly confused when they said that since I have never heard from a legitimate source saying stuff about what my parents said. So I looked it up, and it turns out that the source came from Marco Rubio.

You should’ve seen the look on my face when I realized that my parents got a source from a Trump sycophant.

@BlueYoshi
China can’t do that. Greenland is already in NATO. Any talk Trump comes with about taking it over is kicking in open doors since the US already has bases there and can just simply ask for whatever it needs and they will get it.

I’ve heard that particular reason multiple times on the internet and it never made sense to me, let alone justify the need to annex a country like some wannabe dictator

Still can’t tell if the tariffs on Mexico and Canada has gone active yet. All I’m finding is news saying it’s happening any minute now…for the last several hours.

@Background Pony #01F2
China can’t even own the Panama Canal.
Because it belongs to another country.

@Dustcan
Tuesday for Canada. 25% on most goods, 10% on oil and energy.

“War” implies that both sides are a threat to one another. This will be less a trade war and more an idiot cutting off their nose to spite their face.

Well-said. The guy’s just throwing a glorified fit.

Still as bad as things are I’m more just embarrassed and disappointed. Our country is strong enough to endure another 4 years of this idiot, but I predict life will just get worse but that’s nothing new

@neutralgrey
How is it that comedy will be the greatest thing in these four years.

I saw some just compare Trump’s policies to Mao’s Great Leap Forward and honestly they aren’t wrong

They are idiotic decisions based on stupid ideological stances with no regard to what the real world actually is

Can’t wait for Trump to start issuing Executive Orders about killing Sparrows

@igotnopicks
It was more funny when Trump and his cronies were failing after he lost the election

NYT has confirmed that Musk does indeed have full access to the Treasury Department and their systems. A non-government citizen in charge of a non-government agency now runs out nation’s finances.

That’s great man. Our entire $6 trillion GDP is going to disappear and Musk is going to walk around with a mysterious $6 trillion sized stomach. “What? I don’t know where all that money went. Burp.”

Oh and he still won’t have enough to pay taxes. Somehow. But you and I will.

Why are Pro-Palestine Groups still directing their anger at Dems by this point?

The Elephant Party is in charge, why not go yell up their fucking bums?

@CaptainXtra
I guess since a lot of the Dems are still supportive of Israel even though the Dems aren’t in charge any more?

Like im not saying they shouldn’t be calling out Dems for supporting Israel, but this just feels like another case of Lefties shitting on the Dems just for the sake of it (Im still not getting over a lot of the “Free Palestine” people saying they wouldn’t vote, then being shocked when Trump got into power). Go bring all this Palestine stuff up with Trump since he’s the guy in charge and is making the situation worse.

These guys must be too scared to confront Trump and the Republicans since they think they’ll be arrested and held without bail by their security.

Lots of unwitting (and willful) pawns of the GOP (and Russia) do this shit. Plus yeah, the genuine folks know that protesting dems is a soft target with zero risk, since dems are completely spineless.

Couple reasons.

For one, we know that the GOP won’t be moved on this, because dead brown people is central to their agenda.

For two, if Dems are going to be convince ANYONE that they’re better than the GOP - which I WANT them to - they need to stop actively supporting a genocidal apartheid state. Biden and top Dems opted to throw the election rather than force Israel to call off the massacre, and that’s entirely their fault.

And as long as they keep unconditionally supporting Israel and spending all their time attacking and alienating leftists and progressive, they’re gonna keep losing until free and fair elections no longer are a thing.

Free and fair elections are no longer a thing. The last one proved it. The US needs to have between 1 and 7 points knocked off its democracy index score, in my opinion.
