Boisterous is good, he sounds like a stage actor, and his passive resistance is just as refined 😙👌

😇 Seen this before. What’s the context?

But of course he’s vaxxed

That’s the worst about this timeline. It’s all out in the open, yet people continue to parrot all the grifters’ completely open grifts, with conviction. 🤷 Post-truth society.

Sadly, we all know the answer: because an even bigger clown thought it would be “clever”.

How did he get so much power then? Well, son, 'cause there’s a whole lotta clowns out there who voted for him

Nooo… 😲

At some point these nitwits are going to a) say that the wheel is woke then b) reinvent it.

I think you misunderstand. This:

could NATO even defend Europe against Russia, against the US’ will?

was a question about how NATO internals work, decision making and bureaucracy, not raw firepower.

You know Canada is a NATO founding member, don’t you?

You know, you’re right. The alliance is already there.

But the USA is also in it… could NATO even defend Europe against Russia, against the US’ will?

I’m sure he does. But his constituency still doesn’t.

Let’s again quote this from some 2016 article that stuck in my head:

They voted for the elephant in the china shop. Little did they realize that they were the china.

And. They. Still. Don’t. Realize.

My only hope is that right now, his supporters are dwindling. How much though and will it still have an effect come next election and won’t it be too late anyhow…

I know, religion is bad an’ all that, but I like this guy. Always did.

It seems selling Tariffs to his constituency as something that only affects other countries was his biggest grift after all.

Ah, who am I kidding. It’s all grift. A gigantic hairball of grift.

I wish I knew enough about Canadian politics to have a deeper opinion, but afaics: Good

Oh and as a Eu citizen I feel very good about Canada maybe hopefully joining some sort of alliance with us. I didn’t have it on my radar before 2025.

Not sure I’m getting this right: is this John Roberts trying to backpedal on a vaguely related issue after he scotus-voted for the president’s immunity? A belated stirring of conscience?

A great speech. Full of well-deserved cynicism, yet factual. This is where we are now with the USA.

If there’s no JavaScript, there’s no malicious scripts

But there is, tons of it! And I can’t see anything. The content is obscured without it. It’s not static html.

Yes, but the number of Trump supporters is dwindling.

New use of crotch gremlins unlocked!

This is 100% what actually happened. Plus no oversight of course.

At this point a total collapse of the USA’s 2-party-system seems the best of all realistic alternatives.

Because the Dems getting their shit together in less than 4 years certainly isn’t realistic.

I get your point but I left reddit & joined the lemmyverse just a week ago, and did not get banned/censored.

I just felt that a ton of small niggles both technical and content-/moderation-wise had accumulated towards a tipping point.

I have used old.reddit for the longest time and there’s always been some glitches (…). There seem to be delays, and they’re getting longer. Whether this is just old.reddit or in general, I do not care.

There are other indicators that reddit isn’t interested in keeping old.reddit working. It’s just a question of time.

Then there’s bots, including wetware bots. Whether they’re just re-posting to farm karma or actively flooding certain topics with vile opinion or - after a noticeable delay that has nothing to do with timezones - tip the up/downvote balance in their favor: they are here, and it’s not getting better.

The meaning of Honeypot you refer to is a metaphor. It’s not wrong to use it in other ways.

Can confirm, this happened. Realsatire.
