My wife is no longer hostile to the idea of me owning guns.

I still don't have any other than two collectors pieces that shouldn't ever be fired except as a last resort, only one of which still has ammunition manufactured for it.

If he destroys the DoE, tuition rates will fall because there's no more student loans and universities will have to compete on price

America continues to support Ukraine and seems poised to continue that support into the future. Ukraine was my #1 issue in November and I expected much worse from Trump.

They're being exploited to avoid death, compare that to what Macron wants from them. If anything, the good news is that EU won't abandon Ukraine.

no change is hardly a silver lining

Considering a lot of us were projecting that the U.S. would begin arming Russia and the war would end quite dramatically in Russia's favor? Yeah no change is a massive silver lining.

[-] expatriado@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

we are comparing with the alternative, which would be the Democratic party, silver lining means, the Republicans are destroying the system but alt least we're getting something that we wouldn't otherwise, which is not the case in this scenario

Disagree. 2025's motto is basically "But wait! It gets worse" so I'll take "no change" as a "win".

Once the stores are empty and food is too expensive/sparse I absolutely guarantee you won’t even be thinking about Ukraine anymore.

Poor priorities.

So apparently, from what i read, USAID, while it did some collateral good, was used for covert CIA foreign interventions meant to carry out incredibly damaging experiments for no reason other than CIA being CIA. A lot of these harmful missions were done under covert names like "sex changes in x country" or "lgbt support in y country". Allegedly Trump saw this and killed the program, just out of bigotry, either before the CIA explained it to him or despite it.

Now i had doubts about this myself so i checked online from several sources and the consensus seemed that it checks out. Major news outlets wrote pieces on it. Even USAID defenders always say some variation of "even though USAID was involved in CIA operations destabilizing foreign governments, that was not its main purpose".

So if this is true and as far as my research has lead me, i have no reason to believe it's a fabrication, thank goodness USAID is dead. I thought the US CIA programs of destabilizing foreign governments for shits and giggles was a thing of the past, but i was unfortunately wrong and i now realize that not even aid should be accepted from the US and I'm glad Trump destroyed that program.

Every time he replaces an experienced government leader/ worker with a loyalist, he gives the Resistance the Gift of Competence.

The military is now run by absolute morons, while the previous leadership, who is highly experienced, moral, serious, and COMPETENT, are all on our side. Do you think they are all just hanging out on the back porch, drinking scotch and waiting for Wheel of Fortune to come on? Just ignoring the oath they actually took seriously, as the nuclear inventory that they spent their lives and highly successful careers protecting, is in the hands of the most corrupt traitors in American history?

We haven't heard a word from those people, and it can't be because they just don't care. They are definitely making plans for the day that HitlerPig declares Martial Law, and suspends elections, habeus corpus, due process, etc. When they call for the current military members to make a choice between the MAGA wannabees, and operating under real military leaders, most will choose Competence over Chaos.
