321·9 months agoThere is no way forward without about 20-40k public executions, and the seizure of trillions in assets. Dropping nukes on Israel, Saudi Arabia, UAE, and qatar should also be absolutely on the table.
It’s a little unnerving for you to make a fair bit of sense, and then to see this little tidbit of insanity slip in there. Disregarding the call for institutional public execution, I would like to formally object to your plan for nuclear war with the Middle East, please.

politics @lemmy.world•Furious House Republican Warns More ‘Explosive’ Resignations Are Coming After Marjorie Taylor GreeneEnglish
15·9 months agoThere is a lot of policy failure and blowback that contributes to this, but I like to think the party and the people are finally unable to tolerate Trump’s narcissistic abuse.
This idea of a government based on the destruction of perceived enemies is not sustainable, and is constantly eating itself for sustenance. At some point, you have to actually figure out where money for food is going to come from and screaming into the void about Democrats, immigrants, and abortion doesn’t pay the bills. The American people need healthcare, housing, education, childcare, food, and hope. NOT ICE raids, bizarre southern military excursions, shutdowns, and traumatized federal workers.
To me, this is a wonderful reminder that our votes still matter, and our system - as large and slow and complex as it is - has careful structure and momentum. The Republican Party still must respond as such.

politics @lemmy.world•White House defends Trump’s ‘HANG THEM’ repost in rant calling for death to members of Congress over military remarksEnglish
82·9 months agoWhile the Uniform Code of Military Justice requires service members to obey “all lawful orders,” the definition of “lawful orders” as commonly understood excludes orders to commit crimes, target civilians or noncombatants, or perform civilian law enforcement activities that have long been banned under U.S. law.
Trump is no longer able to contain his narcissistic rage at being criticized or disobeyed. Calling for service members to disobey his administration’s blatantly illegal orders is a defiant act of patriotism.

politics @lemmy.world•House votes overwhelmingly to pass bill to force release of Epstein filesEnglish
6·9 months agoWhile I don’t doubt that, one of the things that Richardson’s coverage does is ground my heavy pessimism: Despite Trump’s corruption, his fascist network still must operate within the bounds of the American government and voting public’s opinion, just like the early Nazi party and other elected fascist movements.
The trove of evidence is hopefully still protected by standards of federal record keeping that can reveal tampering and based on what has already been released, the regime’s ability to control that evidence seems lacking. They will no doubt play up the parts that look bad for the opposition, but if there’s a big photo of Donald J. Trump blowing Bill Fucking Clinton with the travel and financial records to put them in the same place for a weekend, how are they gonna redact that?
And from all accounts, it’s sounding like whatever is in there is Chernobyl level heat.

politics @lemmy.world•House votes overwhelmingly to pass bill to force release of Epstein filesEnglish
351·9 months agoI highly recommend Heather Cox Richardson’s near-daily coverage of current politics, and The Files.
From a historian’s perspective, she seems to think that Trump’s sudden reversal after fighting tooth and nail to avoid this release is because he realizes he’s lost control of the House republicans on this issue as their voters are also frothing at the mouth to get these files released. And, that if he’s so afraid of what’s in the FBI’s complete set after the horror of what has already been released, what the hell is actually in there? She also seems to think that if the bill gets to his desk, he’ll all but have to release them, but personally I don’t see him ever caving to that. He could release them by executive order today if he actually wanted the files released.
Here’s my take: I find it pretty incredible that people don’t seem to understand the depths of Trumps depravity when he extorted our allies, sicked a hillbilly mob on the capital, used The Office of the President to hawk merch, and openly mocked American democracy, but grooming underage girls is where we all collectively draw the line. The mountains of evidence of his extreme criminality, his appointment of white and Christian nationalists, and his alliances with America’s sworn enemies melting down our government? Water off a duck’s back apparently.
I’m all for whatever it takes to dismantle the Trump regime, but I seriously doubt undoctored evidence ever sees the light of day. And if it does, he will be dead long before he ever sees justice for it. But, if it FINALLY sours voters enough to not vote for him in the next election, I’ll take it.

105·10 months agoHe’s too narcissistic to even realize the irony that it is his policies, his incompetent appointees, and his apoplectic abuse that is crashing the GOP. It is insane that the meltdown has been this glacially paced.
He’ll be back; we’re in the devaluation phase of the narcissistic abuse cycle. Next, he’ll try to discard the whole party to start his own. When his finds that unworkable, he’ll come slithering back.
Let’s just hope this time most republicans will be too exhausted to continue propagandizing themselves with Trump’s inane double-think.

51·10 months agoFor anyone wondering why we keep top secret documentation in printed form, some of this stuff is so secret they don’t trust electronic devices to house it. To dump it in a bathroom in Mar-a-Lago is a sin that defies comprehension.
In a transcript of a July 2021 meeting obtained for his indictment, this is a direct quote from Trump, speaking to a White House staffer:
“Secret. This is secret information. Look, look at this.”
It would be hilarious if only it were a Monty Python sketch.
Only a senile malignant narcissist could lack the self-awareness to say such a thing. When I say Trump is clinically insane, this is what I mean. The fact that this man is president instills a dread approaching cosmic horror. My highest hope at this point is to survive the next three years without a nuclear holocaust.

143·10 months agoThere are some legal scenarios
under which this could technically happen, but it would be monumental and shocking if the Trump regime could actually manage to wield the coordination and leverage the trust needed to pull it off:Peabody, email to FactCheck.org, Nov. 15: There are actually five fairly clear scenarios through which a twice-elected president could again become or act as president:
Such a person could[:]
(1) serve as Vice President and then become President in the case of removal, death or resignation of the President
(2) serve as Vice President and then act as President during a period in which the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of the Office, as authorized by (a) a written declaration from the President him or herself, or (b) through the VP and a “majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments” or some other authorized body indicating that the President is disabled/unable to discharge the duties of the office (25th Amendment)
(3) become Vice President-elect and then President if “at the time fixed for the beginning of the term of the President, the President-elect shall have died” (20th Amendment)
(4) become Vice President-elect and then act as President if “a President shall not have been chosen before the time fixed for the beginning of [the] term, or if the President-elect shall have failed to qualify” (20th Amendment)
(5) act as President under circumstances provided for by the Succession Act of 1947 which kicks in [when] both the President and the VP are unable to discharge their duties
Despite Vance having the electability of a poke in the eye with a sharp stick, it would be pretty delicious to see him become President with Trump as his VP, only for Vance to refuse to resign. Watching the administration eat itself to get him out would be the height of irony.

The Trump regime killed this woman by unnecessarily putting a military force in an exposed position to perform tasks for which they are ill-suited, just like the US did in Afghanistan. Now, they will callously wield her memory as a political tool to channel racism against Afghan refuges that had the audacity to assist in the US invasion of Afghanistan.
The message is clear: NEVER help the United States government, they will fuck you over just to satisfy the whims of rich narcissists.
