      Right. How else is Jeffries and Chuck going to afford their beach front property in Gaza if they don’t receive million from the fossil fuel lobby.

        Don’t know about that part. It’s just rooting for a team to stand up literally and it ain’t happening as much, preventing unnecessary spending, marginalizing communities, is been the rapport for either parties. Like this is a hot take but all party motto/slogan is tip toeing too much. Some real change or something needs to happen to garter my favor.

          Do you think chuck cares about Palestinian people. Dude spear headed so many weapon sales to Isreal. He wants every Palestinian dead. Jeffries is doing it for the money.

    Do they realize that this will lead to more physical sabotage against oil infrastructure? If they get rid of any non-violent means of mitigating concerns, they leave only one option.

        Right wing violence (which includes neo Nazis, fundamentalist Christians bombing abortion clinics, etc) and fundamentalist Islam attacks make up the overwhelming majority of political violence in the USA but left wing violence exists. And of that left wing violence the majority is what they call “ecoterrorism”

        It’s not obscenely common (tbf no political violence is “extremely common” in America, statistically still very unlikely) but it does happen. It’s just far less publicized because “some people bombed an oil transport line/hummer dealership at night/etc” is not nearly as clickbaity as “weird scumbag with a manifesto about great replacement theory posted to 8chan shot 35 people”

          It’s not nearly as much as it should be based on how many people are angry at the regime, but also the news doesn’t want to publicize it because they don’t want to give other people any ideas. Look at the response after they tried trashing Luigi, everyone loved and supported his cause, and they quickly dropped coverage.

    I’ll be honest, I don’t really care. None of these laws mean anything if the government is completely rebuilt from the ground up. Every single thing this admin does will be worth so much burned toilet paper. All the grifts ill gotten gains will be liquidated and confiscated by whoever the fuck hangs them all in the streets, as is most likely to happen. All the bills that say shit like “no regulations on AI evar!! Lol” or “Donald Trumps name on everything, including mt Kilimanjaro for some reason” will be meaningless.

      The only way this will happen is through violence, and even then it’s not a guarantee.

      • conservative South loss against the north in the civil war and there were no reparations or punishment.
      • Nixon came the closest to being impeached and charges were dropped as soon as he resigned, despite the fact that the votes were there. We was then fucking pardoned because “we need to move on.”
      • fucking TRUMP will “learn his lesson” for forcing Ukraine to provide opposition research on Biden in exchange for security.
      • TRUMP again when he literally caused people to storm the capitol.
      • when Biden was in office, house refused to even push more impeachment talks because “he’s not president anymore” and then got Pikachu faced when he ran again.
      • when Trump finally was found guilty in New York, the judge fucking gave him no jail time.

      Democrats refuse to hold Republicans accountable and we need to start acting like they are part of the problem.

        You have to remember that at the time of the civil war the US was a largely agrarian and geopolitically irrelevant backwater. It was terrified that the civil war would be the beginning of the end. So the lack of reparations was partly due to the fact that the south was (and still largely is) destitute, and partly because the north wanted a genuine reunification with minimal bad blood. Not saying it was the right choice. But it was based in logic.

        Hopefully we have all learned the lesson of tolerating bigots and thieves.

      100%.

      No other nation/individual/extremist group/ideology on this planet could be causing America more harm than the Republican party. They are oppressive. They strip rights. They flagrantly violate the Constitution. They crush the middle and lower classes.

      They are absolutely America’s enemy and the enemy of Democracy in general.

          Republicans try to ban all energy except for fossil energy, while Democrats pretend to encourage all forms of energy while actually working for the same fossil fuel interests to suppress renewable energy

          Fixed it for you. The Dems may be much less obvious about it than the fascists, but the vast majority of them are still corrupt as fuck.

              You changed the topic to corruption

              Nope. Corruption is the reason why they support the continued burning of fossil fuels in spite of there being no valid justification.

              That’s not changing the subject, it’s just describing the why behind the what.

              because I was right the first time

              Nope, you weren’t.

              Just give it up.
