Why? Just let the GOP cut things up to the bone and make them own it. The GOP holds 3 seats majority anyway in the senate, which is pretty insurmountable
Yeah to hell with (just) killing baby Hitler, I want to go back in time and give baby Susan a backbone
Then they’ll need to find a few more asses to kiss. These people - like the Manchins on the other side - are a dying breed, but sometimes can make the difference. They love the limelight. At times they’ll help you, at times they’ll disappoint you, but if you care about the country, and humanity, what alternative have you got right now?
That's both plausible and dark. Damn man. And I assume being a woman in the military will become intolerable pretty quick.
In many ways it already is… a big argument is being made that promotions and advancement in Army have been hurt by DEI hires and “forced diversity” in promotions… that in a way is true… perhaps many of the complaints about high ranking officials lately (sergeants majors being relieved due to abuse scandals) is due to people of different colors/genders advancing and complaining about systemic discrimination and abuse…….. If all those things go away then the Army goes back to the “good old boy system”… organizations within the Army are actually quite small and you can network yourself and your friends up pretty quickly… a female being sexually harassed/abused files a complaint… the complaint goes to the next level up.. next level up is the abusers golf buddy and they squash the whole thing and put word out to damage the accusers career… “suffer in silence”.. Many mechanisms like this are already in play as is.. I can only imagine Trump will facilitate pockets of loyalist bros to help shape the force going forward… part of the narrative in the military for the last decade is gays, woke-ism and inclusion are softening up the force…. abuse of power could be back on the menu
He came up in another thread but speaking of morons: https://www.salon.com/2024/11/07/rogan-pleads-with-trump-choose-unity-not-revenge/ Rogan hoping Trump shows a softer side for the better of the country. Guy has taken one too many doses of ivermectin.
The amount of folks researching Trump topics after the election.. lol What is Project 2025? Is there currently an Abortion ban? What is the Trump tax plan? Can I change my vote? What is a tariff?
My students after a test: "When can I take it over again to improve my grade?" Me: "You can't. I told you to study for it beforehand and you chose not to. You don't get to take it again simply because you ignored my advice the first time."
Thats literally the theme of this entire ********ing country… The most technologically advanced point in history with endless access to information (and disinformation) at your fingertips and you cant be bothered even when its your own ass on the line….its maddening -Hey you know theyre planning to ******** over people that look, speak and sound like you.. in fact theyre using your picture “nah, they arent saying theyre gonna do that.. just propaganda from the opposition” - maybe , but you have a phone with literaly all the knowledge and information at your fingertips.. perhaps check and find out for yourself “dude, the guy on the tv already said it was a lie…. people dont lie about stuff like that” Literally kids in the f’n Army…”I didnt know this was a combat job when I signed up… I didnt think it was a job that involved deploying” -so when you decided to sign up how much research did you do about the job youd get? Did you go on youtube and look up a video that showed what the job entailed? videos are available all over…you go on a forum and ask folks currently in the military about what the job entails? Cause with your phones that info is right at your fingertips…. “Uuuum….”
I’ll be honest I checked out Tuesday night. I have not idea whether there remains a chance the Dems will flip the house or if that’s already dead. I’m hoping they don’t. I also have zero intention to vote in the mid terms. A SCOTUS empowered executive could steam roll any resistance in the house any way. So why not vote in the mid terms? Because I want a full four years of unencumbered Republican governance. I don’t want to give them the opportunity to blame the Dems for the shit show they create. I want them to learn…good and hard…that they allowed the Republican Party to chase out the few competent people they ever elected….that using the ********wad base to get competent people elected only works when the ********wad electorate doesn’t out vote you in the primaries and nominate a ******** was. I want every last well educated economic Republican to learn how ********ing stupid their ideas really are. I want every bumble ******** highschool 6 tooth drop out MAGA ********whit to have nobody to blame. American needs this. They need to experience the ramifications of all those “conservative dreams”. I am convinced that is the only way we’ll ever get back. Two years simply isn’t enough time to allow for the full effect. And most of all….i want four years of face eating. There is nothing I enjoy more than a good FO after a bunch of FA.
The amount of posts I've seen on SM of Pikachu faces after tariffs are explained is just... What, no bonuses? What, no raises? What, prices will go up more? Just....
Yeah, I'm in the same boat. I want the democrats to just not fight against what is coming. Just vote and stay quiet. Social Security and ACA gutted or eliminated? You Trumpers voted for that. Mass deportations of people you know? Babysitters, people working at Subway, Guy that does your lawn? You Trumpers voted for that. Roaming bands of white people harrassing women, people of all colors, with assumed or even voiced police support? You Trumpers voted for that. Tariffs making everything at Wal-Mart way more expensive? Local business that assembles bikes/does auto repair/fixes appliances goes out of business because parts are now 2x as much? You Trumpers voted for that. I think all the years of Democrats saving the country from Republican dumbassness allows people to think "hey, they're both the same." We've had a lot of FA in this country without much FO.
Shorter version, from Watchmen: "And all the whores and politicians will look up and shout 'Save us!'. And I'll whisper 'No'."
