There's no longer a (close) election for which to pretend. Not that he was pretending much before, having enacted the fascist anti-immigration bill via executive order that Congress refused to (so as to avoid giving him credit).

It's called a "mandate", sweaty.
Don't worry: Genocide Joe's corpse (either the literal one or KKKopmala again) will run in 2028 and we can resurrect the emoji, too.
Dec 20. No Solstice presents!
Dunking people (e.g in a tank) vs. dunking "on" people. Enough to take away the racist connotation? Don't know, personally.
Damn. Wasn't it just like the U.S. and Israel against the rest of the world in the last one (a couple years go)?
IDK the difference is that Trump Jr. is close to imperial power, whereas that (pre-)teen was not. Politics doesn't care about the powerless, and (especially with overwhelming fascist influence) will trample them like ants.
What happens in 38 days? Is Trump Jr. just calendarically illiterate, or...?
Fascists kicking themselves for not ( ) normalizing conscription-for-life.
Russiagate has never not been on the brunch menu.
Reminder that it was always a ploy for Democrats to pull Trump's strings regarding belligerence toward Russia and escalation on Ukraine stage (with mixed success). We can only expect it to ramp up again now.
Ditto. Like 99% of my participation in Hexbear is here, in the news mega threads. Things seem(ed) fine to me.
The Democrats will not change their way just because they lost the election. The system is working exactly as intended
100% yes. I've been responding to liberals' "will they learn?" takes all over and IRL that, "They need to be DESTROYED, not reformed." Even if they did "learn" a bit and change their policies and/or messaging slightly (and let's be real: it'd just be the messaging), it'd just be temporary and it'd just be a way to preserve their second uni-party ballot line and existence as the "left wing of fascism". We don't want them to learn from it, because that'd just be taping the mask back on for a bit. We want the working-class to recognize what they actually are, instead! Rip the fucking band-aid off! Anything else is just seeking to prolong the inevitable, and cause far more suffering in the end.
I think this is an opportune time to go hard on this messaging. Kick them while they're fucking down!
P.S. - Also, the "ruling by fear" bit is another pretty good symptom of fascism we can point out, I think. Kind of a "meta-politics" bit.
This may be a rare instance of an actual controversy over the word "on".
Obligatory "And we'll do it again, too!"
Yeah, fair enough. I guess I'm just really fucking annoyed at liberals idolizing yet another arm of the state's carceral system that happens to be slightly less torturous and is run in another wing of the empire. I shouldn't give Moore too much credit. But his whole, "they're on an island instead of behind walls, and they have their own toilets in each cell!!!!!" or whatever shit grated on me from the first second, even as I appreciated that it helped show how fucking awful U.S. prisons are. And, of course, it annoyed me even more to see a bunch of progressive liberals swoon and figure that "the Norwegian model [of the prison-industrial-complex]" is the ultimate answer to keeping their punitive injustice system around so no real radical change has to be made.
BadEmpanada says it like it is, volume #475728345324:
What idiots think Trump isn't a liberal?
...
Oh. Right. It's liberals.
I think Michael Moore's strategy of pointing out how "great" European social democracies do prisons is backfiring: instead of the U.S. stepping down the carceral state, fascist politicians have taken notice and the Euro-"social"-fascists are ramping it up.
That is pretty fucking expensive, though, TBH. Just build a fucking desktop with twice the power and infinitely more general application for the same price. Consoles are—and always have been—stupid.
Both. He'll encourage Trump to go after China HARD, but gain some kind of exception to the tariffs, bans, etc.
