Deliberately ignoring the elephant in the room, isn’t that a lot of protein (and especially meat) for a breakfast?

Setting aside the money factor, AI is also just faster, which is important for making up to date propaganda.

The military is at odds with him as he is putting them into harms way and pushing them to waste resources in Iran.

Source?

To the extent he’s purged someone, he’s fired very few people.

He’s personally fired few people (who were however all top brass members), but his admin also banned trans people from the military and imposed facial hair standards meant to harass black people into leaving.

He doesn’t have the support from the military to create a junta any more than Bush jr. did after 9/11, and Bush was a scion of the Deep State, with his CIA/President father.

Uh… any evidence Bush even wanted to pull such a stunt?

If the secret government wanted Trump in power permanently, then they’d already have suspended democracy.

And deal with a revolution/civil war that they might actually lose? Consolidating power under the pretense of democracy is the only logical play here. And besides, the people who want this to happen aren’t “secret” in any sense of the world; they’re tech oligarchs like Musk and Thiel and other billionaires. They’re also, you know, the almost 1/3 of the population that will back Trump in whatever he does. MAGA meets all the conditions necessary for a fascist overthrow of democracy, and their ostensible opposition barely even cares.

Your favorite slice of life anime, since this is a genre an anime newbie is unlikely to be used to. I’d personally nominate City: The Animation, but I understand Nichijou would also be a popular recommendation.

Like the other person said. The social vs antisocial thing is just the modern manifestation; that’s why depending on issue the left will argue for personal autonomy while the right will be pro-tradition and “family values.”

He’d have to get the legislation passed this year, before midterms shift the legislature to a Democrat majority.

Or launch a coup. That’s also a thing that can happen. Why do you think he’s filling the military with his cronies and purging minorities?

I would strongly contest the idea that tankies are durther left than anarchists. This only make since if you’re a shitlib.

As if Mango Mussolini is going to let his power go without a fight.

I won’t address the obviously false implication that Trump was meaningfully worse on Gaza than Harris (for all his faults Trump did get a ceasefire), but also almost nobody actually made that calculation. People don’t vote for people whose guts they hate, and the genocide gave one more reason for people to hate Harris’s guts.

I’m not aware of Bernie ever saying to get rid of the Democrats and found a new party, or even trying to challenge party authority really. He’s always been a “vote in the primary, vote Democrat and hope for the best” kind of guy.

It’s probably simpler than that: anti-Zionism is very common in Italy and this is a cheap way for Meloni to get popular support.

If fucking everyone had listen to Bernie in 2015

What did Bernie say in 2015?

I consider anyone who supports these things to be an evil asshole who shouldn’t be allowed within ten miles of authority. That does include most LPC MPs and especially Carney, yes. Why do you ask?

Nothing to say about the political violence that wouldn’t be, well, political, so instead I’ll ask: What the hell is up with your username?

I mean, the CPC in general for scapegoating immigrants, supporting Israel, ignoring climate change and anti-worker pro-rich policies? It’s basic conservative stuff, and it pretty much universally makes the non-1% world a worse place to live.

Even if we disagree with the stance of the opposition, we should want them to be at minimum, logical, representative of the principles of the people who cast votes for them, and an effective check on the government.

Being competent is only good when one is not evil (which rightwing politicians are almost by definition). Also there’s no relation between being competent and representing the people who voted for them, and only acting as a check on the government when it tries to do something good is worse than not doing so at all. An effective opposition not acting in the interest of the people just becomes a ratchet holding back progress.

I’m not sure if it 100% counts, but probably this. It’s the kind of religious wish fulfillment I usually can’t tolerate, but the rhythm is too good. It’s in my playlist, but I absolutely wouldn’t listen to it in front of anyone who can understand the lyrics.

This doesn’t even make sense as pedantry because the “that” in their comment wouldn’t make sense unless it was the latter.

The course of Israeli history was essentially unaffected by Holocaust survivors, so his only mistake relevant here was not dying sooner.
