Over her proposing to impeach to him? I didn't but I can imagine. Does he want to "deport" her as well?

I don't think I've ever read anything so unhinged from a politician before.
Utterly absurd, and yet we know this with far more certainty than the most well subscribed religions know anything. There are so laughably unimaginative too compared to this reality. And yet, the knowing is also a burden. 😅
This shit gives me existential dread and hope.
Like the complexity of cells might as well be an alien civilization, but all that somehow results in something that it's like to be me. That's so fundamentally mysterious, all I can do is conclude that consciousness has to be the prior of the universe. So on the one hand I'm nothing, and on the other, maybe I'm immortal. I won't know until I'm dead.
New Zealand.
We're currently enjoying a right wing government with a few Trump inspired figures, skyrocketing cost of living, rising crime, and very disconcerting xenophobic and quasi racist musings coming out of certain public figures. But blissfully and blessedly we're a long way away from the chaos your brothers and sisters are going through now and the hell that may be soon to come.
The fear is the global world order falling apart may not be long in following.
Well said yeah. There are definitely some nuances in the way to defend yourself in a country where everyone is armed to the teeth, and a whole lot of cynicism given the circumstances. My words are aspirational at best, I get that. In reality, I'm saying what I'm saying because I share your concerns for your people.
I have no concerns about defending yourself in your own home or even your neighborhood if it comes to door to door mob on mob like that.
If they open fire on unarmed civilians fracture is much more likely than if they open fire on an armed milita. I'm just looking to encourage avoiding giving the authoritarian side any excuse to claim the higher ground.
I'm saying you armed Joe citizen can't win an armed conflict against the military. That's all.
Victory worth having has to be won through peaceful civil disobedience, or there's a very good chance a lot of people will die for nothing.
I'd like to hear arguments to the contrary, but so far it's crickets.
- and 4. Aren't right.
Peaceful protests aren't just performative. Not sure how I gave that impression. They are challenging authorities to demonstrate their commitment to the common good. Violence (even very mild violence) against peaceful people is unequivocally wrong unless they're doing something that might directly harm others.. like blocking an emergency vehicle route or something.
It also puts pressure on politicians to do the right thing.
Right now, against this government, we don't know how effective protests will be in the end. We don't know if military officers will remain loyal to the constitution and state leadership tover the orders of the dictator in chief.
There are too many unknowns and it's far too early to be giving up on a non-violent solution.

So it should. We're supposed to be more civil than that. But as others have said, this is mask off. Trump unmasking what has been lying under the surface of the capitalistic elite for decades. Utter contempt for the working class who are basically regarded as slaves, and anyone with any influence or power who challenges them is painted as a traitor, criminal, and honorary slave as well.
