Although that is great news, I hope we're all taking notes about how far Republicans are willing to let their elected officials go before them being pieces of shit finally matters more than owning the libs. Quite fucking far, like destruction of the nation far. (Trump still polling at 92% approval with Republicans)
If we have free and fair elections again, let's all please remember this. I plan to reach the end of natural life expectancy without ever pulling a lever for R, not even for the tiniest of local positions. They showed us what they do when they get power in 2017, then had four years to plan, and now are really showing us where their values are. Turns out their values are exactly as shitty as we expected.
R is the party of destruction, intentional harm, and bigotry. It's all they do.
"I have a clear mandate." 🤮
Shocking that the Republicans started liking him when he became more and more fascist and racist. They tell you all day long how we falsely accuse them of bigotry and racism, but they support it every last time.
Edit: I continue to love the one Lemmy maga who shows up to downvote any comment critical of the admin or Musk, but who never has the courage to disagree openly with anyone. I hope you read this, Sir, or Madam, so you can know the joy I take in finding evidence of your passing through a thread, even on my own comments.
It's like finding sasquatch poop in the wild.
Man I don't have enough time in the day to be doing that.
I save my cynical outbursts for when he gets caught. And I have reasons, though you may not agree with them.
I think it's important not to lose sight of the fact that our government is incapable of dispensing consequences to this man, regardless of what he does, regardless of where his loyalties clearly lie, regardless of how he continually works at the destruction of the United States of America. So we're not surprised at where things are four years from Jan 21 like we were four years from Jan 06.
While we are all tempted by the complacent comfort of "someone in government will handle it" now that he's actually at the peak of his power, it seems key that we all remember "no one in government handled it" for four years when he was out of power and arguably at his weakest.
Independently verifiable detail number 28543 showing that Trump and everyone he has appointed are unfit for office, and that no one who voted for him will ever care about, and from which no consequences will ever flow.
I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose voters. -- Mr. Donald J. Trump

There won't be any limits after people snap. Back to the jungle we go. Don't worry, it's not like we were ever actually civilized. We hid our savagery behind the economic system
Just following orders...
