Anything less than rump kicking it from old age sooner than later is unacceptable but we can’t have everything. Fuck rump and his fascist states.
Wouldn’t make a difference. We’ve got him for a bare minimum of at least another year and six days. Otherwise it would count as a term for Vance. They’ll Weekend at Bernie’s his bloated corpse for a year if they have to for that.
Breaking Demented lunatic pedofile rants about invading foreign country from his memory care facility… this is what should be happening
We have an authoritarian dictator in the white house surrounded by constant drip adderall’d sycophants. Most of us are scraping the barrel to get by because we are overworked and paid shit.
This is all by design. We are just expendable peons to them.
Tech bro billionaires getting unlimited investment for AI and other nonsense are working on plans for Greenland.
Wake the fuck up people. We have nothing to lose but our chains.
They are not just sycophants. They are themselves also fascists.
Not an either / or situation.
I didn’t say it was. I explicitly said that they were not just sycophants.
Wake the fuck up people. We have nothing to lose but our chains.
Nothing meaningful will change until that statement is more true than it is now. The reality is that most of us are still comfortable enough to not want to risk what we’ve got.
Fuck him. I personally will fight for Kalaliit Nunaat’s autonomy (and sovereignty - if they want it.)
Trump has quite literally zero regard for Greenlanders as human beings. He only sees land for him to supposedly own.
Fuck him and enablers with the flame of a thousand suns.
“Pro-Peace Ticket” BTW.
Anything less than absolute revolution and the total abolition of capitalism is unacceptable, no more compromises with the capitalists we the workers must take what is ours.
And punish those that put us in this predicament.
Absolutely, those who have oppressed us and kept us in chains must be punished. All their ill gotten wealth must be confiscated and they must be forced to live the rest of their life on the lowest salary they gave.
It’s not like we put us in this position. We were put in this position with no choice and our backs to the wall. The fuck else option do we have?
None, we declare revolution or we accept that humanity is doomed to kill itself and I personally am not gonna accept extinction. Its that simple, we destroy capitalism or it will destroy us.
Agreed. This is the moment.
Trump is willing to resort to force and violence to get the things he wants. I wonder why he was friends with Jeffrey Epstien.
Ffs. . . Putin is giggling in glee at the payoff from his agent in the White House, and all the time/effort spent on troll farms and blackmail.
Same with China, as Russia and US fuck around with this stupid shit, China’s going ham on Large Scale clean/free Energy, Chip Design, Robotics and Space Exploration…
World is getting smaller, and goof thinks Greenland is going to be some kind of magical barrier?
I mean sure, that is a large part of how we got here, but I honestly wonder if this still plays any role right now. A month ago the media called him unhinged, he’s gone beyond that now and is just unwell. Not that I have a shred of empathy.
Very true, the same washing by media has enabled him so much, along with his collaborators
You know what’s unacceptable? The fact that it’s NOT illegal to say “with a mortar launcher” because it’s really an incomplete sentence.
Rip Trevor
Some of his speeches literally sound like Hitler
Read up the Wikipedia articles on nazism and the SS. The parallels are scary.
Well, he’s an unoriginal echo of everything he sees. Ofc he’d copy Hitler
Trump is unacceptable. Someone please put the kibbosh on everything about him.
I don’t know what kind of authority Greenland / Denmark would have to expel all US personnel from Greenland, but given there are US military bases there, I imagine there might be some contractual issues.
As an alternative, at this point, I think they should be blockading those bases, and searching any vehicle going into or out of it for supply reasons. Also institute a no fly zone over their base so they can’t just air drop stuff in.
No net new personnel going into the base (staffing swaps maybe… like 1 in 1 out). No new weapons allowed.
If Trump was going to try something, you don’t want them being able to prep those bases to assist with the assult any more than they already can, and you want them locked down with defences in their pathway before anything starts.
I don’t know what kind of authority Greenland / Denmark would have to expel all US personnel from Greenland, but given there are US military bases there, I imagine there might be some contractual issues.
Ask Cuba how that went.
Cuba was a stones throw away, and didn’t have the military capabilities of Denmark.
They also agreed to lease it for an absurd length of time.
Denmark has no such obligations.
I have a feeling trump is willing to call the “Denmark will put boots on the ground to forcibly expel/kill the invaders” (what I unfortunately suspect would be a) bluff.
He knows the Europeans will put up a token, face-saving resistance but have no enthusiasm for a full-on shooting war. Unfortunately this may be a correct assessment. But Europe and its allies still have the power to disrupt the US economy, and should seriously plan to do so if the US doesn’t back off.
Bluff or not, I believe you are correct.
Can the dems pick up their nuts and deport trump to epstein island
Holding Trump accountable for his actions is far too partisan I’m afraid.
I really want to stress how deeply unpopular this is in the U.S. The MAGA movement is about 30% of the electorate, so you can generally expect that even the dumbest, most insane Trump decisions have a floor of 30% approval. 9% of Americans support this, 86% oppose it. At minimum, two-thirds of Trump’s most rabid, loyal followers are against this.
So what? He will invade Greenland, get voted out and everything will turn back to normal? Because you disapproved of said actions?
LOL, no. As I already said in this thread:
Trump is increasingly unresponsive to polling, even within his base, and it seems like the Pentagon really is planning an invasion. It would fracture his own MAGA movement, completely destroy NATO, make America a global pariah, and potentially start WWIII, but it seems he is seriously considering it.
Approval isn’t changing Trump’s actions, and he’s actively talking about canceling the midterms (though using his ICE for voter suppression is more likely). The only hope is that enough neocons tell him that they’ll support impeachment if he fucks up NATO.
how deeply unpopular
He was elected twice. On both occasions those that didn’t care won.
30% isn’t deeply unpopular btw. That’s about 5-10%.
It’s bad enough that we’re reminded we have to stop and think about the Americans, let alone having to accept bullshit.
He used the general maga as a baseline and then said the approval for this is under 10%, not even popular among the people who are rude or die with Trump
Thanks. They’re comforting numbers.
Well, I hate to throw cold water on that comfort, but I’m not sure the numbers matter. Trump is increasingly unresponsive to polling, even within his base, and it seems like the Pentagon really is planning an invasion. It would fracture his own MAGA movement, completely destroy NATO, make America a global pariah, and potentially start WWIII, but it seems he is seriously considering it.
I have nothing to base this on but some guy on the internet said that he is demanding invasion & the top brass keeps trying to talk him out of it.
I read an article that claimed some top Generals are trying to distract him with an invasion of Iran (which is also really, really bad). Traditional neocons certainly don’t want this, though; they don’t want to throw away 80 years of military alliances. Still, if the president tells the Pentagon, “make me a Greenland invasion plan,” they’re gonna do it.
Ah I’m sure he’s considering it and the planning is a given. I’m glad the bulk of Americans have some sense in this matter at least.
Probably as retribution to the American people for not voting for him in 2021. Such a lust for revenge
Something I’ve learned in the last decade, no matter how unpopular a position, MAGA supporters will fall in line with the party rather than risk threatening the parties authority.
Can I interest you in an academic novel that comprehensively confirms your opinion? theauthoritarians.org
Maybe. MAGA is fracturing right now. Withholding the Epstien files really was too much for some of them, and Marjorie Taylor Greene’s defection gave a lot of them permission to question and criticize him. Invading an ally for no reason might actually break through to good chunk of the average red hats.
False hope. Come election time Republicans will rally around some insane thing like “Democrats are eating babies” and they’ll pull the lever for whoever has an R by their name. Even non-crazy people will tell themselves some half-baked story that starts with “Well, I don’t like Trump but…” and do the same thing.
Don’t you do it. Don’t you give me hope…
I hope those numbers can be turned into actions to stop Trump.
The elected officials need to be reminded what the vast majority of their voters want them to do.
You still elected him. You are all responsible for this.
As long as that idiot is in power those numbers mean nothing. Impeach him, wrote in a new guy and then we’ll talk.
If he can’t accept something hes free to leave
