      Two Hitler salutes on stage at the US Presidential Inauguration

      It’s amazing how easily it was for them to make that go away. Disturbing how nobody fucking cares.

        The people who care, and there are millions of them, mostly already held the appropriate opinion of them.

        It’s amazing how many don’t care, but again we already knew they were shit people and it isn’t a surprise that those people are entirely okay with it until they are personally affected by it all (specifically their wallet)

        What’s amazing is how many millions of people aren’t offing themselves due to the futility of holding onto their beliefs after decades of trying to advocate for a better world

        If the organization I’m with ends up trying to get backup internet, I will play that on a loop on every device I have available if anyone tries to get it through Starlink.

        Most of the US has known for awhile too.

        If it really was “most”, the USA wouldn’t be in the situation it currently finds itself in.

          Low voter turn out and interference by musk and other rich fucks.

          It was only like 28% or something that voted for him.

            I also blame people who didn’t put in the effort to vote against Trump.

            Yes there was some effort at voter suppression, but that was known and motivated people could have easily got past it if they cared enough to do so.

              Every single attempt to suppress voters should be an offence with jail time, not a viable political strategy for the dumbest of Nazis

                Absolutely agree.

                Unfortunately the US government operates on the “who is gonna stop me” principle.

            Then it’s perfectly reasonable to blame the third of Americans who didn’t really care enough to vote, as well as that 28% of course.

      The military has been gutted of the ethical. Hegseth made sure of it. The worst commanders, and 1st sargents made sure of it.

      You can’t count on them.

    Elon Musk has supported, and still is, supporting trump’s election campaigns. Musk cannot shift the blame away from himself.

    “The Enemy Within” is a good episode of Star Trek, and a good episode of Stargate. Why is it such a terrible fucking episode for the US?

      He’s greedy, he will do whatever makes him the most money. He is loyal to money alone.

    In America diesel is primarily used by Corporations for trucking. Most American cars use gasoline. So this deal is really about lowering costs for the big companies, not about lowering gas prices for working class

    Europe will stand by and watch. Russia knows this, and so does Trump. They’re a lost cause and costly (Trump’s opinion)

    Russia can out-last Ukraine, with much more manpower to draw from.

    Ukraine wants to last longer than Russia’s economy… but must do so while the USA and EU are financing Russia by buying oil. If USA is the “enemy within” for buying from Russia… what is the EU? Honest question.
