Sorry to get political again on the silly Nintendo fangirl account but hey gang: when do we start really worrying about this shit. Are we there yet? Feels like we are there.
Bold for Trump to turn on his own ICE agents like that.
Trump has just handed an enormous advantage to Putinβs fascist war machine by βtemporarilyβ lifting sanctions on Russian oil, and Britainβs right wing politicians and cheerleaders in the press are either silent or filming the themselves ranting about animals on bank notesβ¦π€‘
Trump calls on China, France, UK and others to send ships to keep strait of Hormuz open
Dear Europe,
Please help me to unshit myself.
In return, I will harm your economy with tariffs, and insult your leaders, your cultures, and your military.
Kind regards,
A very stable genius
You know you're in trouble when George W Bush's middle east strategy people start saying your middle east strategy sucks.
If we kill innocent people with impunity, some of the family members of the people we kill will want to kill us back. And that's how cycles of violence go on for generations.
That's why the obligation to stop the violence always rests on the folks with the bigger guns.
Glock pistol used in deadly shooting at Old Dominion University was illegally sold to shooter, a convicted felon under probation, by a man federal ATF agents knew was selling guns illegally. He previously received a "warning letter" & had to write an apology.
It's time to enforce our gun laws
One thing I havenβt seen get a lot of coverage is Trump easing sanctions on Putin under the guise of helping oil prices.
Right now, supposedly the sanctions will go back into effect in a month, but I would absolutely pay attention to that.
Could it be that Trump started this war mostly to help Putin, knowing that the Straight of Hormuz would eventually close, which would make Putin's oil much more valuable, allowing him to defeat Ukraine?
Max Berger 1S6O 2023 @maxberger.bsky.social The one upside of this is that we never have to pretend Republicans believe in the constitution, freedom, states rights, freedom of speech, America, democracy, the economy, jobs, children, decency or family values ever again.

McGowan: You're saying 46 Americans died, so we should attack this country. Here at home, 68,000 Americans die a year because they don't have health insurance. So, if we're going to spend billions of dollars on somethingβ¦
We are a nation of 349M, yet one man decided to launch our nation into a reckless, illegal war without congressional authorization or counsel or the support of the American people. He didnβt think he had any duty to sell it or serve the peopleβs interests. This is why despotic rule is so dangerous.
The dancing baby from Ally McBeal? That's great! Every country around the globe can taunt the U.S. by saying "How's your big, dancing Baby Man?"
Search-and-rescue crews were βflying blindβ trying to rescue survivors from deadly tornadoes that hit the Midwest last week.
Why? Because Kristi Noem hadn't approved FEMAβs $200,000 contract with a tornado-tracking tool.
But she had time to spend $220 million on anti-immigrant ads. Priorities.
(1) The accused declared, ordered, or otherwise indicated that there shall be no survivors or surrender accepted; (2) The accused thereby intended to threaten an adversary or to conduct hostilities such that there would be no survivors or surrender accepted; (3) It was foreseeable that circumstances would be such that a practicable and reasonable ability to accept surrender would exist; (4) The accused was in a position of effective command or control over the subordinate forces to which the declaration or order was directed; and (5) The conduct took place in the context of and was associated with hostilities.

There are reports of ICE activity on the north side of Chicago happening now.
Please share so people in the area can be aware and take precautions.
If youβre in the area please come by our office at 7016 N Clark St for ICE whistles.
We protect each other. Chinga la migra.
They either didn't know Iran would shut down the Strait of Hormuz or they knew and didn't have a plan.
Either way - just totally clear they don't give a damn about what this war means for hardworking Americans.
Slotkin: "If Russia is helping to kill US forces, we have crossed a rubicon. We have to take decisive action on that. Instead, we're giving them breaks on oil. They're making a ton of money."
Cancel the King's visit to the Whitehouse I say.
So has anybody seen ANY active duty military members defying orders since this war is OBVIOUSLY unconstitutional?
no?
Well, let's put the whole "remember your oaths to the Constitution" shtick to rest. The military isn't saving us.

I keep seeing people ask about the 25th Amendment.
Guys. His entire Cabinet is walking around in shoes that donβt fit because theyβre scared to take them off.
The 25th is never happening.
Yesterday, a lot of folks clocked this as market manipulation by screenshot and backspace.
Looks like someone in the White House made billions.
As a country we have made a lot of mistakes in foreign wars over the last 2+ centuries. But Iβm not sure we have ever looked as feckless, foolish, incompetent and ridiculous at the leadership level than right now.
Ossoff: "The president appears increasingly to have lost touch with reality. That is deeply concerning when you have a a cabinet much more concerned with winning his favor than giving good advice & the nation now plunged into war. It speaks to the necessity of winning these midterms in a landslide."
