The Mexican flag, probably.

US presidents haven’t been punished for wrongdoing for at least half a century.

The only thing that will stop him, singular, is death. The only thing that will stop them, plural, is a popular uprising.

Depends on what you consider modern. “War is a racket” is a thing for a reason.

I’d let her spy on me, which I guess is the point.

Yeah but F-35 is a NATO-wide program if I understand this stuff right. The F-35 and F-22 are also the only fifth-gen fighters the West has, so the effects of this, if there are any, wouldn’t only be felt by America.

Fortunately Trump is too homophobic to pass this.

but isn’t that the main faux pas?

No, that’s the main faux pas if you’re a US liberal with no care for human life that doesn’t meet a property minimum or resides outside your borders, and not being that I don’t give a shit about China getting access to US military tech. Arming Saudi Arabia is bad because Saudi Arabia is an autocratic imperialist slaver state.

Could the OP not think of any reason this would be a bad thing other than China? Not the slave labor? Not the support for autocracies? Not the crimes against humanity? Fucking yanks man.

That said, I have no particular opinion on the China thing, let Trump destroy Western military supremacy; I’ll happily watch.

I mean, credit to the guy, he did invest early and hard in MAGA.

While I do agree it’s more complicated than “money = food,” a lot of this complexity is fueled by imperialism of one kind or another, so this isn’t an “oh well that’s just life” situation. People would be less hungry if, for example, the people keeping them hungry weren’t financed and armed by America and (occasionally) China. The message of “we could fix this if we wanted” is still accurate.

In this context, it’s Islamic holy war.

Imperial boomerang moment in 3, 2…

We Muslims have conducted jihad and conquered Piefed in the name of Islam (I have no idea I don’t use Piefed).

Can we nominate this person for modern Shakespeare?

Your comment doesn’t actually address what the inital comment said at all.

It does. My point is that what they want is a pipe dream.

Its absolutely not guaranteed they can compromise the midterms enough to prevent the complete collapse of their coalition.

But if their coalition collapses Trump won’t be able to execute his platform. Hence, the coup. The GOP is betting on being the ruling party of Trump’s fascist dictatorship. Also like the other person said, the goal here is a white America; the immigration thing is just an excuse.

So they went from 50% support to 30% support. That’s a pretty hefty change, but given that they’re the regimes primary victims I have to wonder what those remaining 30% are thinking.

PS: In the current stage of American politics, voting blocs are meaningless.

I have no idea, how about you look it up and report back? Given that other mayors were spending as much or more than that, clearly the process costs a pretty penny.

Given the conduct of the US military since… ever, I doubt too many high ranking office there had anything resembling a moral compass even before Trump. Maybe it’s counterproductive, but I love to see the imperial boomerang in action.
