We are making the grave mistake of still considering them human enough to even look at what they say. It's all absolute gibberish, not even made to justify themselves in a specific instant despite not holding any coherence to the preceding and succeeding instants; it's just cesspit air passing through rotten lips. There's no point in continuing to show their incoherence, same as we don't waste time mocking cockroaches for not making sense. They just must be removed. It's way beyond time.
"Imagine if instead of spending Trillions* on weapons, the United States spent that money on its people. They'd have a much different country." - me. .... *-yes, trillions, since trump is proposing a $1.5-Trillion defense budget which will be in the "Trillions" after 2 years.
It’s all right there. If you can’t see it i can’t help you. Done trying. Done being upset about it. Trump will destroy this country, like I’ve screamed since 2015. Now we see how it really falls to shit.
1.5 trillion dollars could sure help the American people a lot instead of sending it to a war no one wanted. Hell throw it into the social security coffers, pretty sure the government has taken from the social security fund before.
Megalomania coupled with arrogance, selfishness, and the unbelievable inhumanity of a criminal. Such an individual should never again be allowed to walk free or hold political office. Election manipulation and oppression are serious crimes and treason, if not high treason. Congress is useless if a war is instigated without its consent. All those who carry out his unlawful orders are criminals, e.g., aiding and abetting murder.
Well yeah but none spend more than the US which is just insane considering some of the other countries have BILLIONS of people and the US spends more than any of them with with only a few hundred million people.
Yeah, the US is fucking joke. And about to turn 250 is peanuts to many much longer civilisations. Congratulations, you're the stroppy teenager of the world.
If those military mega-corps were making farming and green energy equipment instead of weapons, and their minions were not preaching hatred ... it could be a very different and better world. Tractors instead of tanks on production lines, medicine instead of ammunition, irrigation and clean water instead of bunkers and ballrooms.
Imagine if, when we filed our tax returns, we got to pick and choose the percentage of our taxes going to the various departments and agencies. The will of the people would be writ large.
The fact they focus so much on producing death instead of something useful for humanity makes me believe even more those people love death and want to see more, just like Israelis who celebrate the death penalty for Palestinians with champaign
Beating swords into ploughshares" is the conversion of military weapons or technologies for peaceful civilian applications. The phrase is from Isaiah 2:4: Many peoples shall come and say, "Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; that he may teach us his ways and that we may walk in his paths." He shall judge between the nations, and shall arbitrate for many peoples; they shall beat their swords into plowshares. Fucking christian hypocrites.
I'm a christian and I fully agree with your post. I don't try to proselytize, but if an individual actually reads the book, especially the new testament, there's no excuse for them acting the way they do. I mean, the bible even rails against hypocrites. It's a good system for living but you actually have to read it. I'd guess 80% of people claiming to be christian are even remotely trying to live by the things Jesus taught. You know, take care of foreigners, the weak, love everyone, etc.
It's so on the nose. Like M Bison in the street fighter. Just over the top villainy. Doesn't make for a good antagonist. I really wish Trumps writers would put in some human characteristics. Just not believable as a human antagonist.
"Listen, we need to talk about this 'Trump' character. I get that it's a satire, but it comes off as hate humor. Like we're not poking a bit of good-natured fun of them, but just keep yelling at them how much they suck. I mean, the dude's like an amalgamation of every single bad cliché about Americans, he has not a single redeeming quality. Who'd want to watch that?" "According to our market reasearch, over 77 million Americans."
Director: am I to believe the Americas elected a convicted felon to a 2nd presidential term AFTER he led an insurrection in an attempt to stay in office and then it turns out he’s convicted of rape AND there is mountains of evidence that he raped children? Then he attacks minorities with ICE, some even die? Then he goes to a needless war and cripples the U.S. economy?
Producer Marty McFly: yep
Director: (stunned silence)
Producer: he also wears adult diapers and only eats fast food.
This is enough to prove they are incompetent. But NOTHING will be done, of course. US Congress is IMPOTENT. The whole world is suffering because of these people. No one has the guts to stop them? Sheesh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They aren't IMPOTENT, it's all going according to plan. I'll get lambasted for this but I don't think a majority of either side cares what happens to the common man. They are there for personal gain and to get re-elected. They care about their sponsors and basically nothing else. If a politician does care, they basically try to get us scraps of whatever is left.
I do, but I'm gonna need some help. For starters I don't own a gun onna' counta' I'm a gentle vegetarian so I'll need to borrow one from one of my many 2A neighbors
Exactly. They care about themselves and re-election as well as keeping their sponsors happy. At this point it's a sham. I do believe the system can be reformed but at the moment I have no idea what that would look like.
It would look like every Republican and most Democrat congresscritters led out of the building in handcuffs. I do not believe the system can be reformed. It must be rebuilt from the ground up, with a new Constitution, new laws, a new government, new legislators, with mechanisms in place to prevent this from happening again.
Is no other way to sack a President in democracy? If he owns the congress and everything how is going... -can do whatever- nothing's gonna bring em out.
You can tell that something is broken with the American system if it's technically illegal for them to push a war without congressional approval but they did it anyway, and congress isn't doing shit. At most it's finger and tongue wagging. They could straight up order these mfers to stop, and pull all forces out. But the system is so broken that none of that will happen.
It's affecting the rest of us in the world too. Thanks MAGA for sponsoring this bullshit.
Post that poses me off most is the military isn't telling him to fuck off either. All these generals and not a spine among them to off these traitors and be done with it
Well, to be fair most who even slightly push back are fired immediately. The system is broken, checks and balances are gone. Read some of the founding documents, especially the "Common Sense" pamphlet. It shows the warning signs, what happens when governments become corrupt, etc. I don't know that it would matter but it's a shame this isn't taught and people don't read it out of curiosity.
They coordinated January 6 on Facebook and in the open and in broad daylight. If the left tried anything similar, there would be a crack down and it wouldn’t break the news. Selective enforcement is a bitch.

In 20 years time, a movie will come out "based on real events", and it'll be downplayed because it wouldn't be suitable for TV/screen if it wasn't.

There's a saying amongst authors and playwrights: "The difference between fiction and reality is that fiction has to make sense."
