    The Media is Complicit in Trumps excapades.

    Especially with his second term, with how astronomically hard they worked to sanewash everything he said and did. because they’d rather sell out the country and their integrity, than dare risk losing access.

    The Lügenpresse are no longer the enemy of the state… They are the tool of the state.

    Another thing the news won’t highlight is trump made all these deals with Canada and Mexico. It’s bullshit for him to turn around and start a trade war over them. They are his deals!

    Also, remember back in November when all the people that said both sizes are the same? Well, you might not believe it, but even after all the stuff done so far, many of them still actually believe it!

    I know, right?

    The wholly fucked up thing is that yes I did forget that is why he was impeached the first time. He’s committed so many crimes how the fuck could I keep track though?

          If you don’t filter some of the trash, you’ll be so inundated with bullshit that you won’t be able to see the forest for the trees.

          He’s a walking news story. Some of it needs to get thrown away or the important bits will blend into the noise that is his personality.

      laws are just excuses for the men with guns. there’s plenty of social cohesion and harmony you can have without men with guns, but if you want laws to be actual things, you need to keep up on the men with guns thing. the democratic party will never deploy them against other elites. liberalism, a law based form of social cohesion, will not save you when someone it will not target decides to not obey the laws that were designed to benefit it.

      Liberalism will not save you. try something else.

    Remember when the Republicans refused to take the Jan 6 impeachment seriously because he was not going to be in office by the time they completed the investigation, and they said that it would be a matter for the courts, and then the SCOTUS said that Presidents are immune to prosecution and the only recourse is impeachment?

    Trump can be impeached again for everything and anything he did between then and now, including while he was out of office. He can be impeached for inciting the Jan 6 terrorist attacks, he can be impeached for his election interference in several states, he can be impeached for sharing state secrets and documents at Mar a Lago with foreign agents, and he can be impeached for just about any of the executive actions he’s taken since being reelected.

      He should be, but there is a zero percent chance of the republicans holding him accountable for anything at this point.

        Yeah, because that would set a precedent for holding people accountable. Even those who internally oppose Trump don’t want to relinquish their free pass on illegal and unethical activities.

    Honestly feel horrible for Zelensky. Imagine having to sit there and be shouted down to by two men so obviously and utterly corrupt that they consider helping your country fight off tyranny to be a favour, as though that isn’t what the Western world should be doing by default.

      I’m very concerned about how many people mistake Trump’s attempts at appeasement as “peace”. People are actually buying that Zelensky “doesn’t want peace”. What can be done to change this narrative to the people who don’t get it?

        I don’t think appeasement is the right word, as that would imply Trump is actually trying to help Ukraine rather than trying to slowly create a narrative to justify abandoning Ukraine to Russia.

        The worst part is I would bet Zelensky is keenly aware of what Trump is up to, but knows any attempt to distance from Trump would only make it easier for Trump to justify abandoning his people to the wolves.

          I guess I used the word “appeasement” because it can resemble peace to the less knowledgeable people. I just don’t know how to get people to see the danger of this type of policy. I’m amazed at how many people don’t think that this will eventually affect them too.

      as though that isn’t what the Western world should be doing by default.

      Vaguely gestures at what the West has been doing since WWII. The only thing Trump is doing differently here is that the people he’s bullying are white.

        If you cannot see how this is different than what has happened before, I don’t know what to tell you.

        The only thing I can think of that compares (but on a smaller level) is what Trump did to the Kurds fighting ISIS in Syria.

          Geopolitically it’s a pretty big deal, I know, but morally it’s very much in line with what the US does on a daily basis around the world. Just now it’s white people feeling the effects rather than brown people.

      they didn’t consider helping ukraine at all when zelensky got to the white house, the die was cast against ukraine on the evening on november 5th when the election results were tabulated. it was done. trump was always going to abandon ukraine to russia, there was nothing zelensky could have said, or done, to change this. they set the whole public plan in motion, first by trump mentioning rare earth minerals, then having the us emissaries hand zelensky a blank check memo at the munich security conference they knew he wouldn’t sign without security gurantees they never were going to make, then trump magically reconsidered, and seemingly overnight the deal was back on, to be signed at the white house, where they ambushed zelensky in front of kremlin press, europe, and the whole rest of the world
