I think people need to be realistic about the fact that we're battling a world wide Nazi attack backed by the richest and most ruthless people in the world.
They have no rules. Or morals. Or firm hold on reality.
I just don't believe they're going to go "Oh well, we tried" and walk away.
@StillIRise1963 He will destroy the world to save himself. He will destroy the world as revenge for punishing him. There is no limit on his cruelty & lust to annihilate.
@StillIRise1963 He literally cannot afford to lose the election.
Beg, borrow, but mostly steal, he's coming for results with every favor he can extort from any leader or minion anywhere in the world.
@Npars01 The cold war was about protecting capital, and expanding capital. Why are we voting for folks aligned with Putin? It doesn't matter anymore, Putin isn't a threat to capital, Russian resources make a lot of money. The American oligarchy is not under threat, and its democracy has never existed; it is showing its true colours.
Nothing works.
They're all the same.
It's pointless.
No politicians care.
And the ever present the super cynical funding of "biden is old" and "starmer is a redtory".
I literally don't care at all about that shit.
My local labour candidate will be less likely to vote to take meals away from poor kids than my insane ERG fantasist conservative MP. Will vote for better legislation vs will vote for worse legislation.
I'm not hurting chances to remove my local Tory, to make some obscure fail protest against labour leadership, that will only be understood as, drift more right-wing to get more wins.
@StillIRise1963 I think we should brace ourselves for how far the criminal justice system will go to avoid sending him to prison. At this point I’ll believe it when I see it.
Also if/ when Trump loses in November, be prepared for another outburst of violence like Jan. 6. That's the way these low character dbags operate: if they can't win the easy way, they flip the table.
but i'm not worried about the capitol's vulnerability to violence this coming november
i'm worried about the "they stole the presidency from orange god emperor by {insert mentally unhinged conspiracy theory here} so i had to kill a transsexual" types, stochastic terrorism from the MAGA GQP crowd
@StillIRise1963 Outside the US, we see that he is willing to destroy his country. It would just be simpler if he jetted off to a country without an extradition treaty with US.
@StillIRise1963@dbc3 Me too. Especially the maids. My mom and grandma worked as "the help",and it was denigrating to watch. Ditto the "informants". They reminded me of my stepfathers and my uncles,who were drug dealers,bookies and thugs.
@IveyJanette Yep. All of what you said. I've always been partial to non American stories because I get tired of seeing the racist shit. That's not entertaining. @dbc3
@StillIRise1963@IveyJanette
I didn't either. May have seen 2 or 3 episodes. I thought the whole thing was crappy. I like Mission Impossible. A-team was a cheap, shoddy imitation. And the Mr T character was as you say.
@StillIRise1963@IveyJanette Hopefully on a boat from Mar A Lago with Hannity or Tucker driving. Then capsized in shark infested waters. Remember Stormy said Donald is deathly afraid of sharks? What an appropriate ending that would be.
@StillIRise1963@IveyJanette Though he wouldn't do it without moving a lot of millions offshore first, and the New York judgment and the appointment of a receiver make it impossible for him to move that sort of money around now. He's well and truly fucked, and his best possible outcome now is Reagan's: develop dementia before conviction.
INTERESTING @IveyJanette@StillIRise1963 when you look at American tech, real estate and, interesting enough, universities there's several countries that keep up coming up as the major investors/funders since the late 1990s but especially after the 2008 financial crisis: Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UEA, Russia. am wondering if Qatar has an extradition treaty with the US 🤔
FWIW @StillIRise1963@maddad@IveyJanette after the former King of Spain was caught money laundering for Saudi Arabia —as a side hustle from being king—, he fled to Dubai
Rey JC comes in and out of Spain but hasn't lived there. he's Count of Barcelona and tried going there and was shown the door. remember: one of his own daughters and his sister were embezzling money too.
The Trump Organization and Dar Global unveiled the planned Trump International Villas, a luxury residential development. The villas will be located in Dar Global’s Aida coastal development east of Muscat, along the Gulf of Oman. The project is worth $200 million, the Trump Organization and Dar Global said in a statement.
The Trump Organization is additionally developing a golf club in Aida.
@maddad@StillIRise1963@blogdiva@IveyJanette Just imagine if Pres. Biden did something like this. His son couldn't even do business as a lawyer in Ukraine or China -- countless US corps. make their billions in manufacturing with China -- without being dragged for YEARS by corrupt Trumpers in Congress and the corrupt Trump DOJ "special counsel"; Pres. Biden is still getting dragged for doing HIS JOB as VP under Pres. Obama there!
Kushner walked away with $2BIL from SA, and now Trump.
@EarthOne24@maddad@StillIRise1963@blogdiva There's people in the Black community who are still dragging Biden for opposing school desegregation in Delaware when he was in the Senate decades ago. They're using that as an excuse to tell us to vote third party,stay home or vote for Trump.
@StillIRise1963@EarthOne24@maddad@blogdiva I saw some of those ADOS racists on YouTube last night dissing Biden and the mayor of Chicago for "ignoring Blacks and helping migrants instead",and openly threatening to disrupt the Democratic convention. And yes,they are advocating for us to vote for Trump or stay home.
@StillIRise1963@EarthOne24@maddad@blogdiva I hate those ADOS/FBA motherfuckers. They're always on Fox, Newsmax,OAN and RSBN spouting that descendants of slavery bullshit. Nation of Islam members were in those YouTube videos alongside the ones threatening to disrupt the convention. By their rhetoric, I'm not a "true African-American" because of our family's multiracial heritage. Fuck them. Let them vote for Trump.
@StillIRise1963@EarthOne24@maddad@blogdiva
There's always "pick me" people in every group.
Just like there are always "purity test" people.
They are both quite tedious.
@asbestos@StillIRise1963@EarthOne24@maddad@blogdiva And it's annoying. My brother and I call them the "what about's". They're always complaining or finding someone to scapegoat or blame for their problems.
@IveyJanette@StillIRise1963@maddad@blogdiva These groups are often "sleeper cells"; RU-intel groups started in the 70's/'80s to infiltrate U.S. communities, businesses, even govt. They appear as Americans to enlist dissidents to train and activate for just this kind of "active measures", including protests, voting, and espionage. This is fact; it's depicted in a TV series: The Americans. It's how protests against Biden popped up soon after Israel's Oct. 7. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Americans
@StillIRise1963 So many ppl seem to think that a landslide vote for Biden is the solution to all our problems, & of course, that landslide vote is vital. But Tr☭mp (or rather, his handlers) tried to steal the 2020 election, & they're ready to do it again. & they learned from their failures. I worry they won't fail again. It's terrifying. If they succeed this time, it's all over.
@StillIRise1963 he will go all the way. And by that I mean I think he will literally destroy the world and kill everyone in it rather than go to prison.
@StillIRise1963 He learned from Roy Cohn.
I used to love celebrity gossip. Mostly in the ‘80s & 90s. Probably due to Entertainment Tonight, & I loved reading biographies of classic movie stars.
I think that’s how I’ve always known what trump is. I wasn’t immune from his affair, marriage & divorce from Marla, & I liked Ivana at the time.
He’s always been a POS on every level.
Stopped enjoying entertainment news when Britney, Lindsay were harassed non-stop
@StillIRise1963
I keep thinking that the answer to that is "Russia, or somewhere else with no extradition to the US" but every time he went abroad, he came back.
@StillIRise1963 this might be ridiculous, but I have to admit I was super nervous as we approached noon eastern time on Jan. 20, 2021. In the back of my mind, I was concerned he’d launch a nuclear attack as his last act in office.
