    Hey reeko who for 1 year straight continued to supply weapons to the country that leveled Gaza in the first place that allowed the final leg of the ethnic cleaning campaign?

    Biden oversaw the main legwork of the ethnic cleansing by funding the part of the cleansing that made Gaza inhospitable to human life.

    To call people who have family members cowards is showing the core center of your vapid hollow lack of ideology and principles based on concepts like empathy.

    For you believing a group of people shouldn't genocide is a transactional belief. You root for the genocide of the transaction fails. What a hollow core to your center.

    John Fetterman: "I think their primary currency was shaming and scolding and talking down to people and telling them, hey, I know better than you, or you're dopes, or you're a bro or you're ignorant, how can you be this dumb? They're they're fascists. How can you vote for that? And, you know, when you're in a state like Pennsylvania, like, I know, and I love people that voted for Trump, and they're not fascist. If you go to an extreme and you become a boutique kind of a proposition, then you're going to lose the you're going to lose the argument."




    moral of the story: "The party that calls Americans stupid cannot figure out why the American public will not vote for them."

    That's part of the gimmick. Post a meme and say democrats are like this. Lefties are like that. Take the worst example of a purple hair woman screaming about something ridiculous and paint all liberals with the same brush. They define their enemies and then attack them.

    The sad thing is that it kind of works. Look at how many young men turned MAGA because they don't won't to associate with woke.

    A foreign born, narcissistic, childish billionaire with deep conflicts of interest shouldn't be handed the keys to the treasury department to stop funding whatever he deems is bad. That is just insane. That's the 100 pound gorilla that they miss because their culture war is more important. Millions of people missing the death of democracy because of "look at the wookie" politics is the story of the century so far.

    The steps to destroying Democracy have already started, and it's pretty obvious they are working towards a more Dictator/Authoritarian regime, where billionaires and oligarchs decide the laws. We are burning bridges already with Western world countries that don't share far right views, and aligning more with those regimes where oligarchs and Dictators rule the people.

    Goodbye civil rights, freedom to choose, religious freedom, separation of church and state, days when politicians couldn't benefit their personal businesses with their policies, and the days when Presidents were impeached for things Republicans now consider no big deal. Goodbye environmental regs, labor regs, unions, healthcare reform, gun reform, and aid to the poor and sick. Shut up or you are fired. It's all about power now, and turning billionaires into trillionaires.

    Transactional is your favorite word right now. It’s like last year when you learned fascism.

    I agree with part of his statement, but you have to call them fascist. I don't care if it hurts their feelings.

    Historian Lawrence Britt studied the fascist regimes of Hitler (Germany), Mussolini (Italy), Franco (Spain), Suharto (Indonesia), and Pinochet (Chile) and found they had 14 elements in common. He calls these the identifying characteristics of fascism.
    1. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism
    2. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights
    3. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause
    4. Supremacy of the Military
    5. Rampant Sexism
    6. Controlled Mass Media
    7. Obsession with National Security
    8. Religion and Government are Intertwined
    9. Protection of Corporate Power
    10. Suppression of Labor Power
    11. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts
    12. Obsession with Crime and Punishment
    13. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption
    14. Fraudulent Elections

    Democrats lost white men when they started advocating for civil rights and equality for minorities and other marginalized groups back in the 60’s

    republicans can call Democrats every name under the sun, but if Dems call people stupid or fascist then it’s a problem…this is the unfair dynamic people be talking about

    Dems playing a completely different game out here

    :( Never thought this imaginable in our country. To think it all started when Trump decided to make the Presidency his biggest con move and grift of all time.

    What's next? Will using the term "illegal" act depend on who is doing the crime? Party, race, gender, or skin color?

    ‘Treated like criminals’: Shackling of Indians aboard 40-hour migrant flight sparks new outrage against Trump

    By Esha Mitra, Aishwarya S Iyer and Ross Adkin, CNN
    Updated 11:48 AM EST, Fri February 7, 2025

    US officials kept around 100 deported Indian migrants in shackles for their 40-hour flight home, including during bathroom breaks, in the latest incident to spark anger overseas at President Donald Trump’s migration crackdown.
    Indian lawmakers demonstrated outside parliament on Thursday, some wearing shackles and others mocking the much-touted friendship between Trump and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

    Elsewhere in New Delhi, members of the youth wing of India’s main opposition party burned an effigy of Trump.

    Last month, the spectacle of Colombian deportees being shackled as they boarded a US deportation flight sparked a bitter dispute between the two countries, with Colombian president Gustavo Petro initially refusing the military plane permission to land.

    The anger in India comes days ahead of an expected visit by Modi to meet Trump – whom he has called a “true friend” – at the White House.

    Government employees who voted for Trump have to be the dumbest people on earth and that includes the military. He literally thinks people in the military were stupid to join the military.
