'Disappointed' is certainly not the language I'd use in her position. I'd remind Trump that future presidents may follow his lead and pardon his attempted assassins. TACO in no time.
What the hell does it take for US centrist/centre-left politicians to be outraged?
Suggest universal healthcare, universal housing, or universal education(including college/university).
Politicians cant just talk however they want, its this idea of "decorum" that they have to maintain.
Its just different expectations for left-of-center and right-of-center politicians. Double Standards.
A far right politician can just go around saying "that's a nasty question" or go mocking disable people or saying "grab them by the pu***" and still be elected.
But if Biden says something bad about the maga voters, it's "unprofessional"/"unpresidential"... 🤷♂️
What the hell does it take for US centrist/centre-left politicians to be outraged?
Saying that neither party should be selling weapons for genocide.
I dunno, Bernie has said that and I haven't heard any Democrats outraged at his comments. But I get what you're trying to say.
That's because they're trying their best to ignore and silence him to death.
Bernie isn't a democrat anymore. He's independent.
That doesn't change that Democrats might respond to his comments?
...but it makes him much easier for them to ignore.
Being a leftist and calling for leftist policy probably
Can't wait until she sLaMs him on her way to the fucking gulags. Feckless corpodem bullshit.
Lord that's diplomatic
Uh oh, after a democrat is disappointed they might gasp consider a sternly worded letter.
How can fascism survive such robust resistance?!
What do you want Whitmer to do?
Call Trump an illegitimate fascist cretin in a press release, for a start.
America is so boned.
Execution followed by full pardon.
Finger wags, finger wags for all!!!!
If things get any worse, there may be some raised eyebrows
A clear message to Trump brand Nazis that they are free to kill his political opponents. Sure they'll have to suffer thru some jailtime, but he'll pardon them.
Hell, Hitler wrote about his struggle there.
That's the real fear. Political violence is going to be increasingly common as fascists get bolder.
I'm getting tf out of this country, man
I'm getting tf out of this country, man
I already pulled that trigger and have zero regrets. My life has greatly improved since I left.
Yeah we're starting the process. Ugh it's so fuckin much to do tho. And I half expect the house to sit on the market...
I kinda feel like you should provide some tips for the rest of the class.
Happy to answer any questions. I did it through a work transfer, but getting a visa isn't even the hardest part
Alright, I'll bite. lol What's the hardest part?
The overwhelming amount of physical, emotional, and logistical work involved
Edit: I'll also note that there's a lot of people online who seemingly want to discourage anyone from even trying to get out (see the other response). Ignore them.
Not OP, but the answer to that is going to be "having a work transfer"
If you don't already work for a company that's willing to relocate you out of country, or don't already have citizenship rights in another country that you can cash in, you're not going anywhere. Not one single place in the world wants American refugees right now, and unless you're a rocket surgeon, you're going to be immigrating illegally if at all.
Best move for regular people right now is likely just getting a travel visa and then quietly overstaying it. Just don't get caught.
If I were her, I would start preparing the National Guard and networking with other like-minded governors. If Trump is willing to pardon people who wanted to claim her life, then he wanted her dead. That is grounds for war.
IMO, the dissolution of the union has become nearly inevitable. The questions lie in the when, how, and whether good people come out on top. The good guys should set up mutual aid in advance, be it weather reports, treaties with Europe, Rainbow Panther militia, lawyers, or taxation that cuts out the federal government.
She should call for the pardon of Thomas Matthew Crooks and Ryan Wesley Routh.
Like pardon his head back together?
Blue states need a secret order that when activated, declares the Federal Executive to be committing treason and orders the National Guard to refuse any orders to federalize under the assumption that all orders from the Federal Executive are all illegal orders.
Order 8️⃣6️⃣4️⃣7️⃣
I can just imagine pritzker or smth slamming a big red button on their desk that turns their state into an arkham city style fortress lmaoo
Buy guns.
The pardons are already paid. She can't do anything about it.
Is he even attempting to make up a justification for it other than "help those who hurt the right people"?
I guess you mean he'll pardon them. It does seem to be pure vindictiveness, with no attempt to even dress it up. He just wants anyone he dislikes to fear for their life, and all his supporters and lackeys are on board with this.
Anyone see the movie Devils Advocate with Keanu. It resonates with this administration. Watch it.
this movie is so good. not perfect, but very good. so many great scenes. that marble angel wall is forever stuck in my head.
