Just fucking die already Donny!

[-] ripcord@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

We're just 7 months in to this term. 7.

[-] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

If over half the world wakes up and checks the news, hoping that you're dead, you might be a piece of shit.

[-] sausager@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago

I'm checking every hour, can't come soon enough

[-] WanderWisley@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

I’ve said it many times before but when this pos finally dies I along with many many others will be drinking and celebrating like it’s new years. The 2nd American Independence Day will be the day Donny is dead.

Funny thing is, California has to go to the people to vote. Texas just did it. Who is more in the wrong here? Orange idiot strikes again.

[-] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 4 points 1 week ago

After the California courts approved it to go forward. Everything by the book. That's an incomprehensible concept to him.

That’s the difference between a democracy and a dictatorship. I feel America is going to be broken up like this.

[-] TomArrr@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

It already is.

[-] twykomantis@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 week ago

If only. My fondest wish is that this kind of brinkmanship further stresses the already weak systems and further drives the most disillusioned to complete despondency and we usher in a complete and total collapse of the country. I'm further hoping that the knock-on effect of having the world's biggest economy go tits up is enough to strain and stress the other capitalist states and help usher in something new. While the revolution won't be bloodless or televised, the hope is that when the dust settles we're finally in a place to deliver on the promise of a better future.

Accelerationists always make me laugh. They wish for a thing and then when they get it, they whine as if they’re a victim of the very thing they manifested.

They’re like the nome de plume of fuck around and find out.

[-] fluxion@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

GOP just rubber stamps everything they want and we have to swim against a torrent of old man feces and ICE agents to pass basic tit-for-tat responses. Fucking toddlers don't understand how to function in a civilized society so now they stomp their feet on our necks.

[-] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

And the Texas democrats had to be held at gunpoint to go to the special session

"Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."

[-] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 3 points 1 week ago

Conservatives are fundamentally bad people. Hypocritically supporting your in-group while harming your out-group is bad person behavior. Someone admitting they are a conservative should elicit the same response as someone saying they kick puppies or punch babies. It's inexcusable and has no place in polite society.

[-] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

"Kill puppies and kick babies" is more accurate to this current bunch

[-] BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

“Torture puppies and murder babies” is even more accurate to the current bunch.

[-] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

"Us vs. Them"

The problem is we're Americans. Conservatives are traitors.

[-] Sanctus@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

And of course the courts are in his pocket so guess who will be allowed to go on their merry way and who won't? I fucking hate it here. Keep fucking around, Don. The find out is coming.

[-] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago

Keep fucking around, Don. The find out is coming.

I fucking hate it here

I know it's not for everyone, but emigration is an option. I left the US 25 years ago and never regretted - and that was when Dubya only barely started turning the country fascist, and it was still normal and somewhat pleasant to live in. So just imagine how much better life is outside the US today...

If you have the possibility, you should consider it.

[-] Asafum@feddit.nl 0 points 1 week ago

I really wish I could but I'm just a worthless uneducated factory schmuck. Nowhere worth moving to would have me :/

[-] ButteryMonkey@piefed.social 1 points 1 week ago

If you are fully literate, you can look into teaching English as a second language.

You don’t need to speak the language of the place you work, they even sometimes prefer you don’t because they teach through immersion after a certain level.

They handle visas and housing and stuff most of the time, too, and it’s not just Asian countries, like most people think. Like you could go teach in Greece if you want.

I’m looking into this, myself. I may just do it but I have to give up my solo homestead dreams so it’sa last resort.

[-] FenderStratocaster@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago

This is such a stupid take. "Don't like the way things are going? Move away and pretend it's not happening! Make your problems somebody else's!"

[-] sausager@lemmy.world -1 points 1 week ago

Our grandparents came to the states in search for a better life for their kids, now it's our turn to do the same for ours and find a better place with a brighter future.

[-] Goretantath@lemmy.world -1 points 1 week ago

Leaving the usa instead of fighting to fix it will only mean the entire world is doomed since the worlds strongest military is the united states, so itl only be a matter of time untill wherever you move is captured.

[-] ExtremeDullard@piefed.social 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Well, like I said, it's not for everyone.

Even in the best of times, the United States is a country that requires a background level of stress and paranoia to live in. You realize that when you move to another developed country where you don't have to lock your door or wonder whether the next person you meed is armed, mentally unstable or up to no good.

Even before this whole fascist shitshow got started in 2001, I considered the US a lost cause that's not really worth fighting for. Dubya and the USA Patriot Act was the thing that finally pushed me to leave.

I only have a finite number of hours on this dirtball and I fully intend to spend them as best I can with my family and my children, and offer them a good life. I don't have time to fight for lost causes.

It's a choice ultimately. Emigration isn't for everybody. If you want to stay and try to make America better, more power to you. I just want people to know that life is sweeter elsewhere.

[-] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

The Wehrmacht thought they were the most powerful military force on the planet, but piss poor leadership, THANKFULLY, starting from the top. The Little Fucking Austrian Corporal wrecked the strategy by replacing his best field commander with "yes" officers. Guess who is repeating the identical mistake.

[-] PrettyFlyForAFatGuy@feddit.uk 0 points 1 week ago

which would create precident to undo the texas redistricting if successful? right?

[-] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Precedent*

It should, but they won't see it that way

[-] just_another_person@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago

🤣

Federal Government has no say.

[-] blitzen@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago

Sure they do. If congress passes a law preventing gerrymandering, it can. And I’d support it.
