God I hope so. And to preserve that hope, I’m not going to go look at .

He can use his dick to play his own funeral march instead of the antisemitic garbage he did last time.
That’s the standard formula, yeah. It’s usually in order to enslave the local population to U.S. corporations, though, and they’ve managed to kill huge swaths of their labor force. I guess there are still a lot of women and children to truck to the fields, though. Is it time to close the (outgoing) borders to them as well as men now?
“Collateral damage” is regrettable, but also unavoidable. Thoughts and prayers, and all that.
Wait, you say it’s the resistance fighters who are killed rarely and by chance? LOL surely you must be mistaken. This is just Russian Propaganda™. Please return-to-sender it to Putin next time you do a personal visit with him in the Kremlin.
I mean, TBF, they are also carpet-bombing orphans, not just trying.
But yeah, I def appreciate them friendly-firing themselves while they’re at it, at least.
Yeah. When the best you can get out of a progressive liberal is “as much as we’d like to”. LOL.
Since 2016 I’ve actually seen a lot of the online ones argue that “Stupid lefty. Even Bernie Sanders is against open borders, because it hurts American workers!!!” That might mostly be a troll problem, but don’t know.
And by a WIDE margin in wasting “spending” money on the military and arms.
Here’s they are in text form, which is easier for many people to consume:
Any good brought on by the keystone cancelation has been more than removed by the massive expansive in oil drilling permits
Also, it was already dead. It had been delayed due to legal challenges to the point where the capitalists were about to just shit-can the project anyway. It was direct action and movement pressure which canceled that pipeline. Biden literally just took credit once it was already a done deal.
Yeah. I bet the largest reduction in the number of people on unemployment happened when they stopped extending it for COVID.
Eh…I mean, the president does have an extreme amount of power. Congress can write a law and the president can basically just say, “Nah. Not gonna enforce it.” Or the opposite: he can just tell his agencies to enforce shit that has nothing to do with the law (legal punishments are only a tiny portion of the violent abuse of police and the prison-industrial complex and other state business). Presidents have historically seized all kinds of power for the office without effective challenge/opposition.
But it’s true that executive orders just saying, “I’ll do what Congress has asked me to do,” are not the wins that donkey fans want to make them out to be. And ones that are reactionary are nothing to brag about. And it’s also true that even ones that would conceivably do some good aren’t likely to do much past the current moment or the one president’s term of rule. Though ordering the Department of Education to forgive all student loans would certainly be a good thing for a generation or two of working-class students, even though it wouldn’t be nearly as good as shutting down the student loan industry completely like some actual legislation could.
He liberal hypocrisy, of course—especially when the president is on their team—is to turn their heads and ignore when he uses his power for terrible shit, and to shrug and throw up their hands and pretend he has no power at all when he doesn’t use it for good stuff.
It used to be far more common. Before Trump. Maybe Dubya turned Democrats against it too a bit, but not sure. Obama certainly contributed to fascist immigration policy and border militarization, but he probably did it a bit more covertly, without taking open and explicit credit and bragging about it as much. If you go back to Clinton, though, he was all about openly criminalizing immigration, and the democrats’ fan base ate it up at the time.
Saw a video of Hasan Piker rattling off these things the other day, before saying (paraphrased):
I’m glad he draws the line at genocide, I guess, but come the fuck on. No, you absolutely do not have to hand it to Genocide Joe, Hasan.
All the genocide apologia in that thread…
Always has been.
generally prohibits the use of chokeholds and carotid restraints except where the use of deadly force is authorized by law.
Wait, so the law literally says, “illegal except when legal”? LMFAAAAAAAAAO!
So yes: better than the coinflip of getting a toxic meathead douchebro and another toxic meathead douchebro. LOL.
It’d probably be a better way of electing them than the current one, TBF.
Must have been awfully tricky to kill him in Gaza when he wasn’t even there, right? Maybe he was just there not in a military capacity, but on a personal tour of the site of his future beach house, since Palestinians obviously just willingly abandoned their land.
Anyway…
