Cool. Are they gonna act like it, or should I expect more texts asking me to donate?

[–] skuzz@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 hour ago

So Democrats are going to act now? Or just everyone tweet the same image and do nothing while oligarching?

[–] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

Arm of Knesset lashes out at arm of Kremlin.

1000001231

only it took you dumb fucks 39 days to figure it out.

[–] customcombos@lemm.ee 9 points 20 hours ago

In fairness, so did a large portion of Americans. Unfortunately, half of us are dumb as fuck and still won’t believe it.

[–] Bluefalcon@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 18 hours ago

No lies detected!

[–] Professorozone@lemmy.world 7 points 18 hours ago

Oh no accusations! We've got them now!

[–] cultsuperstar@lemmy.world 15 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

We knew this during his first term.

[–] DicJacobus@lemmy.world 4 points 19 hours ago

Putin was still pretending he wasn't going to start a global war before he died, that time though

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 5 points 22 hours ago

Yeah but they were hampered by pesky laws and rules last time

McCarthy is turbo-rolling in his grave right now. The cemetery ground trembles from the diesel storm raging beneath.

[–] captainWhatsHisName@lemm.ee 1 points 58 minutes ago

I dunno, I think he would probably like Putin and Trump. He wasn’t against fascism.

The neutered arm of the government should remain quiet about the ‘arm of Kremlin’ until they decide to actually do something about it.

[–] witten@lemmy.world 9 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

Saying the emperor has no clothes (or his clothes are made in Moscow) is the first step in doing something about it. If we all keep quiet and just go along with authoritarianism, then the fight will be over before it starts.

Keep it up and it will be the leg too.

And now his dod chief says they are discontinuing the US cyber operations against Russia.

[–] PortoPeople@lemm.ee 6 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

..and they just ended aid to Ukraine.

Trump is a Russian agent and the Kremlin dictates U.S. policy.

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 3 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah. Shame we can't get the military to oust his sorry ass

[–] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 hour ago

Or, failing that, any of those 2nd ammendment enthusiasts.

[–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 164 points 1 day ago (35 children)

So, fucking do something about it.

[–] Wahots@pawb.social 52 points 1 day ago (9 children)

Not too much can be done, since a ton of the country sat with their thumbs up their asses instead of voting. Republicans control all three branches of government now.

In two years, after permanent damage has been done to the government, the climate, and the economy, we may have another shot at at least slowing things down via Congress IF people actually vote for sane people.

And in four, potentially a new presidency and Congress. But that could be dicy, since there's going to be little stopping corrupt officials from screwing with democratic safeguards now that the government is teeming with freaks and degenerates under its skin.

Aside from lawsuits from Democrats, I think the federal government is going to be in complete freefall for the next two years, bare minimum. Thanks fascists and nonvoters. You really fucked the entire world this time. Fucking malicious idiots.

Because over half of this country has been convinced that acting against their own interests is in their own interests as long as they "win" some fantasy game. "We showed them!"

They can vocally and actively criticize the DNC leadership for being controlled opposition. Bernie is doing it, why isn’t everyone else?

In two years there might not be elections.

Is your plan to just lay down and die?

People need to prepare for the violence that is coming. Really worried this could get really ugly. Lets hope not.
