I saw a clever, snarky shirt that I thought might be amusing to wear.

I'm curious what the shirt said now 🤔 Care to share?

I also stumbled on a yt video the other day of some guy reviewing a Trump and a Harris rally side by side, which already is fucked, but he had one good point; The Trumpers are all about their merch. It's like it's their chance to cosplay. I haven't figured out what to make of it.

It is a cult. Look at them.

I don't think his admin will fall apart. It may be a stretch to get Gaetz through but Trump may well pull it off. He's putting together some real delusional monsters.

I believe in democracy. This is apparently what ppl want. Trump is putting the people in place I'd expect, to pull off his campaign promise of a mass deportation (and so much more). Fucking sucks. I disagree. People are going to get hurt.

I don't feel hopeful that resisting or rioting is going to stop the power of the American government. I voted for Harris and I don't know what people that didn't thought would happen. I will resist where I can and organize like crazy but I also read this story before. We don't need to give the right a Reichstag fire.

The right is drunk at the moment. It's going to take time and awful consequences unfortunately. They may still blame it all on the left. I'll be fighting back.

They turned out... for the fascist. To be clear, Liberals are pointing the finger at each other but this is the fault of every idiot that voted for Trump. We all know what he is but they want policies and power at the expense of democracy. History won't remember these ppl well.

Voter turnout happens when there is something to vote for.

They voted for the boot. Fuck America's right wing.

I expected them to go vote against the racist, homophobic, and deeply sexist, fascist.

Yes again, but if out goes poorly, they let you die instead of helping you.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Yes, and you will have the baby.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 6 days ago

Yep. Appears America is just that stupid.

Yeah sorry. The facts are ppl voted for Trump over the fucking economy. Everyone out for themselves. The Israel/Jill Stein nonsense was a drop in the bucket.

Hope they're all happy with the results. It's gonna suck. Buckle up.

An ode to the old Finnish joke from their Winter War against Russia in 1939-1940. When Russia attempted to take over Finland while the rest of the world was busy with Germany;

A Russian commander on the invasion front pushing into Donbas comes to an open field with a forest on the far side. He has a full compliment of infantry with armored transport for all of them and an impressive line of tanks. Once he has set up operations, he sends two BMPs with troops,and a tank escort across the field. His coms officer reports hearing some unencrypted traffic on the radio. "2 Ukrainians can beat 20 Russians."

"There are only 2 of them, too easy" the Russian commander says.

Halfway across the field, two ATGMs slam into the tank causing an instant fireball. 2 FPV drones already in the air head toward the BMPs, disabling them, troops pile out. As more drones arrive dropping grenades on the surviving troops, the Russian coms officer says "Listen to this Commander:"

"2 Ukranians can beat 100 Russians! Ha ha ha! Pathetic"

The Russian commander is furious. "Send in half of what we have. Crush them!"

12 tanks head out. Russian troops pile into BMPs and any other transport they can find and begin tearing across the field from several angles toward the forest. 2/3 of the way across the field they start to hit the mines. Several BMPs and tanks are total losses, others are disabled. FPV drones scream in to destroy the disabled. Previously unseen Ukrainian artillery rains down. The field becomes littered with burning Russian assets.

One Russian BMP nearly makes it to the forest and a few of the Russian soldiers that bail out manage to find cover at the edge of the woods. The squad leader sends one man in each direction to reconnoiter and report back while he sets up coms. After several minutes his runners return and he radios the Russian commander.

The squad leader's panicked voice comes over the radio: "Don't send in anymore, it's a trap. There are 10 of them!"

 

Its good to hear her speak. A sane adult. The full interview had some further policy detail. I'm encouraged. I hope she keeps opening up. Its refreshing.

“Not everybody has Secret Service,” she said. “Members of the LGBTQ community don’t feel safe right now, immigrants or people with an immigrant background don’t feel safe right now. Women don’t feel safe right now.”
