Idk if China owns Russia but probably nobody is happy with it other than Russia given they’ve escaped all the tariffs shenanigans.

Alternative way it makes sense. Donald Trump is literally a Russian asset and his admin is purposely fucking shit up.

Or they could have just not said they used an LLM to summarize but the output has a very LLM AI feel to it.

Unfortunately for the Americans who didn’t vote for Trump we live in a democracy, for now, and enough of my fellow countrymen felt it was a good idea to elect that orange maniac.

But it’s not like we all support him or his positions.

I get what you’re saying though, my country has done plenty of bad stuff.

Apparently, at least in the USA, president.

I did say it was a conspiracy theory or whatever you want to call the fantastical delusions my brain dreams up.

A bit of a conspiracy but I kind of believe the reason that guy got so close to shooting Trump is because Trump’s security detail probably secretly despise him.

Imagine having to deal with that asshole all the time, at some point you’d just be like, “I’m not risking my life and leaving my family without me for this piece of shit.”

I mean I’m sure I’m just being a crazy person and it’s a bit of a joke but … Idk … Maybe?

Yeah, it’s sad. Even worse when reality confronts their fantasy and they keep choosing fantasy.

It’s hard to come up with a good analogy. It’s kind of like someone watching a crocodile bite their leg off and then hobbling back to the same lagoon so they can get bit again. Then, instead of blaming themselves or the crocodile for the situation, they blame black people.

He lives like a capitalist every single day Shane

Feel free to tell them directly how they’re getting fucked, in a polite way of course. Idk if anything will wake those people up from their alternate reality though.

These fucking Democrats are watching a dude successfully lie and bully his way into the presidency (not to mention that same playbook get adopted by the GOP in general) then think the answer is to be nice?

Newsflash, the voters on the other side aren’t going to be swayed by a “broadly appealing message,” I’d say an insignificant number of people could even be swayed to switch voting from the GOP / MAGA bastards over to the Dem sonofabitches anyways. So galvanized the troops, motivate people to vote and stop pussyfooting around.

Adopt the playbook that keeps working for your enemy, tweak it some sure, but stop thinking a milquetoast “we’re the nice guys” campaign will ever work. It’s failed so many times now, maybe learn a lesson?

This is Lemmy, we’re all yelling into the void here good fellow.

“oh the people who won’t do anything will keep doing nothing”

Oh shit whatever will I do with their feelings being hurt. Poor little fee fees. Fuck the people that sat out or protest voted or were dumb enough to pretend Trump actually would help bring peace anywhere much less to Palestine.

What are they going to do, be upset that they have to hear the truth?

Here you go, I’m sure there are more examples but you’ll have to be willing to go looking for them. Keep in mind I just pulled these from a Google search and I’m sure he has people working to suppress things as best he can.

Musk believes in racist ideology like the “great replacement theory” and more fun racist stuff in this article.

More current events and reminders in ho X as a platform promoted and still promotes Nazi crap.

No one gives a fuck what’s in their pants.

Doubt

Clinton is as racist as Trump and Harris is as evil.

You gotta be outta your goddamn mind to believe that.

People, the average American voter apparently, are just dumb as hell honestly. Like straight up I think the people voting for Trump just got brainwashed and live in an alternate reality because their media literacy and just … Comprehension of reality and complex topics … Is really really bad. That or they’re just actual shitty people who believe in his policies and opinions. I’m not sure which is worse.

The agency that got renamed was formed during his presidency?

The Secret Service, for some reason, also investigates forgery. From their web site

Also from their Website :

“We are one of America’s oldest federal law enforcement agencies, originally created in 1865 to stamp out rampant counterfeiting in order to stabilize America’s young financial system. By the end of the Civil War, nearly one-third of all currency in circulation was counterfeit. As a result, the country’s financial stability was in jeopardy. To address this concern, the Secret Service was established in 1865 as a bureau in the Treasury Department to suppress widespread counterfeiting.”

They were investigating forgery before protecting presidents. Just so happens in 1901 there weren’t a lot of federal agencies with as much power and experience as them so they got tapped for the new job of protecting the president.

Bro it annoys me to no end that people genuinely believe that the government never does audits. Like all this DOGE bullshit was already an ongoing part of the federal bureaucracy in place to ensure funds aren’t misappropriated.

Do people think there was zero accountability for the money??!?!!

DOGE isn’t saving shit it’s a smokescreen to shift money around and enrich the unscrupulous assholes.

Is this supposed to be a mango because it’s … Not? I’m over here trying to figure this shit out and it’s just another shitpost. More time I’ll never get back, how dare you.

Agree with doing all that.

I still feel like some more regulations and laws could help. It’s simply too easy to purchase firearms in the USA. Personally I’d like to see it more akin to how we license and regulate motor vehicles. I want people to need a license to purchase a firearm, and that license includes getting firearm safety instruction, a background check that’s better than the current one we have in place, and requiring a range qualification too.

It would really help if people were better educated on guns in general, at the very least I think it’d help cut down on accidental gun deaths and suicides.
