He can put it next to his World Cup trophy.

esprit de corps spirit

It’s like his PIN number.

The historical person may have existed. The mythical figure I know you’re talking about is a fiction.

OP asked the question but doesn’t want the answer.

Mister Tickle.

Oh, sorry. I thought we were listing our favourite fictional characters.

Capitalism encourages it. Socialism discourages it.

It’s a start.

Only supporters would get aid.

With harsh words like “unbecoming” how could else would you describe it?

Those who don’t read history are doomed to repeat it.

If it’s a legitimate threat, it’s not a distraction. It’s called “flooding the zone” and it’s intentional, but it’s mean to overwhelm us in general with the sheer amount of bullshit he spews.

But don’t make the mistake that this is a distraction. He’s opening a path to strip anyone he dislikes of citizenship and exile them to a foreign death camp. This is deadly serious and should not be ignored.

Stripping anyone he dislikes of citizenship and sending them to a death camp in El Salvador is important. It’s one of the most important things happening right now. He’s literally paving a legal path to kill anyone he wants.

Actual protest. Not just walking around with a sign.

• Organize
• Create civil disturbances. Obstruct roads
• Dump manure, garbage, sand to block their activities
• Team up to form walls of people to block ICE or police
• Organize
• Sabotage their vehicles and equipment to prevent them kidnapping people

But most importantly, organize.

Any of those will be more productive than mocking someone on the internet as a “tough guy” for wanting to improve things. You’d just sit there content with yourself thinking nothing could be done while fascism comes for you.

Correct. Automod will notify you if the headline is different (who cares?). If the title misrepresents the article it will be removed. The title would actually clarify the article, so it’s fine.

“Then I sacrificed myself to save you from the rules I made up myself. I could’ve just changed the rule, but somehow this convoluted plot line was simpler.”

The frustration isn’t yet producing mass resignations or major internal protests

It’s okay everyone, they’re just following orders.

So glad that No Kings Day protest stopped Trump in his tracks. One day of protest on a convenient weekend with signs and a catchy chant sure stopped them.

They are trying to strip your rights and take over your country every day of every week non-stop for 6 months now. You have to fight back with the same intensity. A few protests with signs have not stopped them, and will not ever stop them. They don’t care how far you walk down Main St. You have to actually protest. Look at the French. They dump manure in the streets. They block traffic and commerce.

Organize. Strike. Protest. Resist. Or you’ll have nothing left.

Don’t underestimate him and assume it’s just a distraction. He’s willing to do far more than this.

This notion that tariffs will drive manufacturing and production back to the U.S. is a pipe dream, and even if it were to occur it would take a decade to build the factories, infrastructure, and supply lines.

And on top of that the counter-tariffs will make it even worse. Manufacturers would have to make their products within the US and suffer tariffs trying to sell to everyone else. That would given them ~350 million people inside the US to sell to, and literally everyone else would pay higher prices. They could never compete against that. So not only does it take a long time, stable economic conditions to invest in, but they would be restricting their market severely if they brought manufacturing onshore.

Still, the Canadian economy is heavily tied to the US. They’re going to tank their own, but it’s going to hurt us up here too.

Yeah, although it took them a couple years to even do that. I keep wondering what their “Pearl Harbor” will be that finally gets them to take action.

They’re not comparing it to today’s US mass incarceration. They’re comparing it to the usual levels of it. Even before Alligator Auschwitz there were huge numbers of prisoners per capita. That’s what they’re talking about.
