Yeah and it only took the deaths of many hundreds of thousands of Americans fighting with muskets and cannons. I dread to think what a civil war would look like today

Gotta keep em busy somehow voting stupidly and paying wild interest rates on their lifted trucks or they might start thinking for themselves

lol those same aliens watching earth and seeing what we’re doing

The gom jabbar makes for a great sewing needle

Sounds like the plot of a Michael Bay movie, I’m sold

That’s true. For us to compete we just need the same in the US! We just need uhhhh

Not to worry. If gas is a little cheaper while they fill up their tanks at the pump, they’ll be happy to pay [insert car financing company here] exorbitant amounts of money and think they’re winning

Especially because every grift that trump has made, his shoes and the like, were all made internationally. Wonder who will pay for those tarrifs when he does the same?

Lol at least Zorg admitted to being evil.

I don’t want aliens finding his dna in billions of years and reviving him. Probably the meanest thing we could do to another species is giving them fifth element version of elon

Or voted for a third party candidate. That was just a vote in Trump’s pocket

At this time, it is unknown who is sending the text messages or why they are doing it.

Racists. Racists are sending the text message.

They are doing it to instill fear because they believe that the nation is now a white supremacist fascist nation.

Gotta love “journalism.”

Last year the US imported ~8 million barrels of oil per day from 86 countries and exported about ~10 million barrels per day to 160 countries. Why didn’t we simply net it out at 2 million and stop all imports? Setting up additional drilling infrastructure not only takes time, but it’s often far more profitable to import/export over sea or intl borders. Why would we stop the profitable export of oil and prevent the profitable purchase of oil to spend time and money just moving oil across the country?

He’ll start buying russian natural resources at a dollar on the dime and gas prices will drop a little bit and all the dumb idiots that voted for him will drool and smile because “ooga booga feels good” while he pulls out of nato and the world marches towards WWIII

Well, they and many of their foreign friends do a ton to manufacture the will of the people as well. When wages have stagnated for 50 years and housing gets more expensive, it’s easy to convince idiots that “a break from tradition” is the cause of their woes rather than corporate greed. Because criticizing corporate greed is communism, and we’ve wired into our society that it’s “america vs communism” which really just means “america for corporations”

Though many of them have spouses or shares in private industry and their family makes far more if they vote in [corporation x] favor. Federal minimum wage is still $7.25 an hour. I’d much rather see something like this: https://www.closeup.org/a-new-rule-results-in-cost-of-living-reimbursement-for-house-members/ rather than just blanket COLA increases

That’s the major reason. There’s a paper trail. If electronic voting infrastructure fails, it’s possible to completely lose a record of someone’s vote, and then how can you prove the vote in the beginning?

HOW DARE YOU DECLARE BATTLE IN MY FIEFDOM WITHOUT ME! BRING ME THEIR HEADS!
