That republicans are trusted on these things is the greatest trick ever pulled by the media. How are they still trusted on immigration?

We can put all of these guys in prison if we have the will to power
Sen. Markwayne Mullin bought up to $50K each in Raytheon stock (RTX) & Chevron (CVX) just days before the U.S. strike on Venezuela—
Mullin sits on the Senate Armed Services Committee — I’m sure it’s just a coincidence..

Legitimate question.
Can people be sued for making these nonsense claims?
Like if your face is shown on video and the talking heads say *these* protestors are paid by outside forces - can there be a lawsuit?
Given how litigious America is, I’m genuinely curious.

This was obvious after J6. Once someone attempts an insurrection they are not your party colleague but an enemy of the state and you should want them jailed for life as a minimum.
The US has a 25th Amendment and an impeachment process but because cowardice is the defining characteristic of modern right wing politics, neither of these things will be exercised, even as this is the most glaring example of their being needed.
If this text is real (no reason to think it isn’t) we have to accept that the only solution here is Congress doing its job. He cannot be a president in this deteriorating mental state. But Congress won’t act.

167 million eligible Americans - basically half the population - either didn’t vote or voted for Donald Trump AFTER he tried to overturn an election, Europeans have every right to be pissed at the lot of you right now and you don’t get to use Renee Good as a shield for your entire country, fuck off.

90 million Americans didn’t vote. 90 million Americans either watched Trump rouse his rabble into attacking Congress and cops and nearly killing elected officials or were too tuned out to notice or care and all decided this wasn’t worth keeping out of office again at all costs.

conveniently illustrating that the sort of defensive crouch a lot of average Russians entered after the "full-scale invasion" started was not and is not a uniquely Russian phenomenon
I am not here for Europeans telling me Americans don't know how crazy things are. The Nazis are killing people over here at the moment so we're busy but thanks for the input. I had hoped for solidarity but I suppose I'll have to settle for sneering condescension instead.

Any one of these daily atrocities should result in a full congressional investigation and a disbanding of the agency. The fact that it’s all just shrugged off by those with the power to stop it is a national disgrace.
ICE ended up returning the man, Saly, after realizing he’s a fucking US citizen with no criminal record, per his sister-in-law. These fucking animals.

The dudes who tan their testicles and jerk it to Joe Rogan are confused that liberals have guns, too. The difference being we only carry ours when actual tyranny comes to town. Stay safe, Minnesotans. Fuck ICE.

That’s why nothing I said was extreme, and very specific, because it would work. A bunch of guys like this man, behaving and speaking like him, getting together across any city fighting government overreach and abuse of its people, would absolutely make them change the way they deal with society.

Alberta separatism is literally just nostalgia for being young, childless, and rich.
It’s dumbasses not realizing China is decarbonizing faster than any other nation, and is bringing the rest of the world with it.
Oil demand in 5 years is going to be MUCH lower than today if the trends hold.

I personally am less sanguine about this capping out that low. The issue’s polled as high as 29% before, and I suspect it’s hovering around there now. Also likely going to rise higher as American and Canadian right wing media turns up the volume and it goes from impossible to attainable.

I was very unpleasantly surprised to see how many well-educated, well-to-do people (even a teacher!) in my family’s social circle have become separatists. While in terms of interests it’s insanity, Twitter, negative polarization and Yellowstone can cook many, many brains.

Honestly what really worries me is the urgent need to build a more competent and active bloc of pro-Confederation Albertans- “elder statesmen“, ideally some respected current or former O&G guys, etc. A campaign seen to be run from the East is far more likely to fail.
