Shock therapy incoming in 3…2…1…

But even that is better than war, I guess, what state were the social services in?

But what could there be to liquidate? Server racks? They don’t even own the offices, it’s all rented.

It would be nice to avoid a civil war (that would be more useful to enemies), but if you go to war with allies, it starts to become less unthinkable.

Better: just tell him greenland is full of spanish-speaking mexicans, it’s the only place he hasn’t talked about annexing.

If that doesn’t work, Greenland could always take all the undocumented immigrants the US deports and become a booming nordic economy that would be a pain to invade. And imagine the irony.

Yea, but they were fixed by military, economic and political means. Nobody is big enough to fix the US.

It’s a fucking badge of honor for these dipshits, to follow in the footsteps of their bigly piper.

Fine, yea, it’d be good to just chip in to get ready-to-go state-of-the-art coverage. Maybe they hold back because they don’t want to be so beholden to a single country like France at least until the US becomes completely unreliable.

Eh, France has too much to lose even in a minor nuclear exchange (Paris), they would probably only use them if their soil was threatened (in which case you have their funny warning nuke policy). We need a full umbrella from all the EU to all the EU, with keys in the hands of different rotating states/officials to make them more than just elected bureaucrats.

Same for the UNSC, probably, a nuke closet to point at when stupid countries do stupid things. Fascists don’t respect anything else.

Yea, one trump salute election is bad, but two shows that it was not a fluke :/

I agree, but I am more annoyed at swing voters, “moderates”, centrists and low-infos (that is where you should aim your efforts) than genuine good-faith far lefties for it, even if they should have known better.

I understand that they are constantly frustrated at their lack of leverage, because they have effectively no choice but to vote for the leftmost party in duopoly elections, no matter how shit the candidate is.

true, here: https://web.archive.org/web/20250124230626/https://www.thetimes.com/us/news-today/article/trump-wants-to-buy-greenland-frederiksen-jvx0zt9mv

How long would it take a coalition of Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Germany, Poland…or just all of the EU to build as many nukes as Kim Yong Un has? Maybe a week or a month…

Because that seems to be the only way to get any respect from trump and his toadies.

How about these christofascist nutters pushing for a 1-state israel “final solution”? https://www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/2025/1/21/trumps-un-ambassador-pick-says-israel-has-biblical-right-to-west-bank

…lifting sanctions on settlers…it’s all there if you’re paying attention.

Maybe in some cases the price increase will stop sales (if it doesn’t, yea, it’s extra sales tax), which if there is no investment in expansion of local replacement capacity (of course not, trump and his toadies can’t think that far ahead) will lead to shortages in the US and less revenue for the exporter. Either way, it is a lose-lose situation, but trump will be happy to have hurt the exporter (or they lower the export value to absorb the tariff)…

Where are all the muppets sockpuppets who said it couldn’t get worse?

And the people are divided by identitarianism. The oligarchs roam free.

Lotsa hungry leopards to fatten gorging on surprised pikachu faces in the US these next 4+ years.

Only took them elon coming out of the closet as a proud neo-nazi…wasn’t obvious enough before.

It’s worse than that, they said it wasn’t a nazi salute. :/

And yet he was still the most humane president since Carter. Really tells you something about the US, more than the president himself (e.g. Congress standing ovation for genocide bibi).
