  • If he wins he (and his lackeys) will change law. Previously he was stopped, because the government still had competent people.

    Schedule F which is part of project 2025 (and which he actually implemented right after losing election, but it was too late) would allow him to replace anyone in the government with loyalists.

    This time he knows why he failed and will make sure he won’t again.


  • I read recently “On Freedom” by Timothy Snyder and he mentions that. Billionaires are sucking or wealth and when we suffer, we are told that this is temporary and toward a greater good (which never comes).

    Sadly it is successful and a lot of Americans believe that.

    It opened my eyes seeing how we are set up to fight each other (blaming minorities) while oligarchs are making our lives more miserable by hoarding country’s wealth.


  • 100 troops? That many? Why didn’t the whole Middle East surrendered already?

    But seriously, this was response to Iran’s attack and the soldiers are there to operate THAAD batteries to stop Iranian rockets (you know, to discourage Iran from firing at them in the first place to reduce chance of escalation).

    I was asking how many US soldiers are actually taking part in the offensive in Gaza.


  • So you should vote for Harris, as she is not charismatic.

    But seriously. What he won’t do anyway? Remember his presidency which weakened US and culminated in an attempt to overthrow the government.

    His current biggest regret is that he didn’t replace all government officials with loyalists and they managed to stop him.

    Now he knows his lesson and won’t do it again. This very well might be the last election that matter.

    People think that it is impossible that US could turn into dictatorship. They didn’t pay attention in history, because this happened and it wasn’t just once.

    For example Germany was a democracy before it was taken over by Nazis in 1933.



  • Are US troops involved there? Because one candidate clearly says that Biden is not doing enough to help Israel.

    Israel currently is led by a similar fascist with criminal record to trump, that once he loses his power he will go to jail. He is using attack on October 7 as an excuse to get rid of Palestine.

    And we have seen that no one can really stop Israel. Do you think Biden wouldn’t prefer that the conflict would be over (and Israel wouldn’t be stirring new shit) and not distract from the war in Ukraine?

    It’s clear that Netanyahu won’t stop what he is doing no matter what and actually wants trump to win as trump promises to help.











  • In short, oligarchs want to get richer and want more power (there’s never enough), you would think that poor conditions would wake people up, but as long as there less fortunate ones as us we are fine with it. It is easy to set us up against each other by telling that our misfortune is because of minorities and immigrants.

    There’s a book called On Freedom by Timothy Snyder that talks about it. I think everyone should read it. Once you are aware of the mechanisms it is easy to see.

    You would think that Republicans breaking social security would surely lose them votes, but it is really easy to manipulate their base and tell them that there’s not enough money in SSN because immigrants are getting free money and once again we are fighting with each other and once again oligarchs walk away with more wealth.
