Tell me you don’t understand America without saying you don’t understand America. Nearly 50% of the population would be willing to die for their great leader, they are also the 50% of Americans that are armed.
Check your numbers.
Also, youre probably referring to:
If trump is not enough proof that americans give zero fucks… I dont know what to tell you.
5 impeachments, Nobel prizes, same thing right?
Don’t we just get Vance then?
There is not a solution to America’s problems through political discourse.
Organized crime is too intertwined and corruption has succeeded in making the nation irrecoverable. It’s awful to say it but the problem is America now, not left or right. American humanity is basically a hostage, but the perpetrators are the majority. Some aware and some barely aware of raw reality of the world or themselves …just products mass produced into consumption that creates detachment from reality. …and it’s actively promoted for the simple reason of making people controllable and easier to lead.
The goal of the entity controlling America is bigger than America. Its actively trying to infect Canada, and other nations… The goal is world conquest.
The trust people gave their government in America killed the humanity of the nation. It feels like most people I meet are unconscious and empty of humanity and are just a product created by indoctrination and marketing, like a soulless unaware ai bot.
That documentary explains some things but it is also outdated. We haven’t been free as humanity for a long time. The freewill is marketed. The individuality is marketed. It’s mass produced and made to give people the illusion of freewill and individuality. And in current times it’s worse. All your Internet and cellphone usage tracked and and algorithm specifically built to psychologically guide you.
No political discourse will save humanity from the enemies of humanity.
When a person can make peace with chaos and ride the wave of raw reality in real time, without trying to control the wave, maybe people will start to understand. That is real faith, real religion, real connection with the universe, but humanity seems to do everything to own the universe instead of being one the universe.
Cool. They impeach him, the Senate barely takes it seriously, we move on.
I am not saying we shouldn’t impeach him, I am saying, don’t expect anything to come from it .
yay that’ll show him. Another impeachment to add to the collection
Jesus. I know everyone is exhausted but you all doth protest too much.
Nothing but total anarchical chaos will be good enough, there are plenty of people here who would cause genocide if they were in control.
Fuck Trump to hell and back but impeaching Trump alone will not improve the lives of anyone. Congress is full of absolute pieces of human trash that want to make your life a lot harder and less worthwhile just because fuck you that’s why. They think suffering brings people closer to God. Putting a different maga republican in the white house will change nothing. Do we hate Trump for his policies or do we hate Trump personally? I hate all republicans for the backwards and harmful policies they force on us all. They will roll back everything to exactly as it was in 1945 regardless of if Trump is around for it or not.
They’d have to do a LOT MORE than removing Trump or even the entire White House before anything meaningful improves for the average person.
Sure but they actually have to remove the Cheeto stained TACO from office for it to mean anything at this point.
Seriously though, bombing Iran has been a multi-generaltional bi-partisan wet dream since the bombs stopped dropping in WWII. Nobody is impeaching him for this - like two weeks ago Schumer was goading him for ‘being weak’ for negotiating with ‘the terrorist nation of Iran’. There might be 5 people in total in congress who oppose a war with Iran.
Trump has destroyed the standing of the presidency. Congress has destroyed the impact of impeachment.
Nothing comes from this shit
At least half of all US voters is okay with all this, no?
Vote suppression was a very real problem in this election, notably
Another problem this election was how obviously Trump, Putin and Netanyahu played the young left voters like a fiddle.
The Fanta Menace won the popular vote with 51% and Harris had 48%. A third of registered voters didn’t vote.
One third voted against fascism, one third voted for fascism, and the final third is complicit in enabling fascism since they didn’t vote.
Harris voters were fine with fascism - as long as it was carried out abroad.
That’s not actually true. He won with 49.8% of the vote and Harris got 48.3%. So he didn’t even win a majority.
Thanks for the correction. I was going off memory but clearly was incorrect.
No prob! Happy to help!
Democracy is a participation sport and if you sit on the fucking sidelines you get what you deserve
Impeachment has been rendered unimportant and ineffective thanks to trump.
Hmm. No. Impeachment(with conviction) is the the shock collar wrapped tightly around trumps balls as enshrined by the supreme court.
Do you think the 6-3 republican dominated SCOTUS will do anything to stop trump?
They already ruled on it. Would be hilarious to see them about face on their most unpopular ruling because it was used as they intended.
I mean yes please do it. But will anything happen? But yes please do it.
That he hadn’t been impeached and convicted proves that America’s constitution is now a failure. The founding fathers tried and did okay for ~250 years, but the document does not work anymore.
The document is only as good as the people elected to execute on it.
Yeah, in the end of relies on good faith across in all branches, which is obviously not where the US is right now.
A large portion of that has to do with Congress limiting their size back in 1929. It turned the House into a second Senate, undermining its purpose. Without that limit Congress would actually represent constituents because the divisions would actually be small enough to effectively do so. Instead we have districts representing millions of people and others representing just a hundred thousand but with the same voting power. The House no longer represents the population and hasn’t for nearly 100 years.
The Supreme Court should have been expanded as the federal judicial circuits did. There should be a Justice overseeing each federal circuit, of which there are 12 now. The precedent was set in 1807 when they added a 7th justice to match the new 7th circuit, and 1837 when it expanded to 9 for the new 8th and 9th circuits, and 1863 expanded to 10 for the 10th circuit. They retracted to 7 in 1866 to limit Andrew Johnson and then back to 9 in 1869 after Johnson was out of office. And it has sat there ever since. That clearly was not intended to be the case, but here we are.
Instead we have districts representing millions of people and others representing just a hundred thousand but with the same voting power.
That is not actually true. There is no congressional district with even one million people, let alone “millions”. There is no congressional district with “just a hundred thousand”.
-
The current largest, Delaware-at-large, has 989,948 people.
-
The current smallest, Rhode Island 1st, has 545,085.
That is the maximum variation. It is due to Delaware being not quite big enough to warrant two districts, and Rhode Island being just barely large enough to warrant a second. Delaware is underrepresented, Rhode Island over.
Due to the fundamental concept of districting, the outlier districts, both large and small, will always be in 1 and 2 district states. Districts in larger states will always be divided more fairly than the smallest states.
The Supreme Court should have been expanded as the federal judicial circuits did. There should be a Justice overseeing each federal circuit, of which there are 12 now.
I think we should appoint one new justice at the end of the first and third years of each presidential term, to keep appointments as far away from the presidential and midterm elections as possible. Add a new seat every other year, and never refill a vacated seat.
Allow the size of the court to fluctuate. Allow single-seat swings, instead of expecting justices to time their retirements for when a favorable president is in office, or risking two-seat swings when an unfavorable president replaces an unexpected vacancy.
The average tenure of the court is currently 16 years, which would give us 8 justices. But, strategic retirement is artificially reducing the expected term, so terms would likely be much longer.
The longest tenure was 34 years, which would give us 17 justices. The typical size of the court would likely fluctuate between 10 and 14.
I would include one more factor, to reduce the effect of Senate intransigence. Every circuit court judge has been previously confirmed by the Senate. The president would obviously prefer to nominate the youngest justice they can find to SCOTUS, but if the Senate decides to play games and refuses to confirm, the circuit court justices represent a small pool of pre-confirmed candidates that can be nominated without additional confirmation.

Yep, agreed on all points.
Congress? You dumb American fucks should all be out on the streets to shut your country down in protest.
Instead, you’d rather continue living a nice comfortable life because you all know that you will be the last ones to have to face any threat of war when the world starts tearing itself apart.
Eat shit you dumb fucks … the rest of the world is going to burn and fall apart all because none of you wanted to lift a finger to stop it.
As far as I’m concerned I fucking hate America now … I’m Canadian and I’m pissed at my southern neighbours. It’s like having a trailer trash neighbour who just fire bombed someone across town and just doesn’t give a shit about what they did because no one is going to do anything about it.
America can go fuck itself … I have no respect for any of you because you’re leading us down a deadly path and all of you are just sitting on your ass hoping that this will resolve itself without your participation … you dumb lazy fucks.
preach it brother!
America can go fuck itself … I have no respect for any of you because you’re leading us down a deadly path
If you don’t like where we are leading, why the fuck are you following?
Not sure if you’ve noticed buddy but your country is following the US down the far right rabbit hole very quickly.
Your concern is the world burning, so you prefer to stand idly by and allow Iran to develop nuclear weapons? World destroying bombs in the hands of people who routinely encourage and celebrate martyrdom, going so far as to use their own children as weapons and human shields?
Go ahead, take over with your country! If you can’t manage to, you understand how helpless the average American is to change any of this.
Iran has been “weeks away from developing nukes” almost since the U.N. created Israel.
World destroying bombs in the hands of people who routinely encourage and celebrate martyrdom, going so far as to use their own children as weapons and human shields?
You mixed up your Zionist racist propaganda, that’ one’s Palestine.
I didn’t believe that Hamas, Al Qaeda, and ISIS were exclusively from Palestine. It’s not racist to say many otherwise good Muslims are complicit in terrorist atrocities the way many otherwise good Christians are complicit in conversion therapy and bombed abortion clinics.
Fewer nukes are a good thing, especially when taken out of the hands of governments whose state religion routinely gives itself over to the worst possible version of itself.
I didn’t believe that Hamas, Al Qaeda, and ISIS were exclusively from Palestine
The heck? Of these only Hamas is Palestinian. ISIS is Iraqi and Al Qaeda is too international to be pinned down to a particular country. However, what none of these are is Iranian; these are all Sunni organizations while Iran is Shia.
It’s not racist to say many otherwise good Muslims are complicit in terrorist atrocities
It’s racist to imply all Muslims (or even Palestinians) are “people who routinely encourage and celebrate martyrdom, going so far as to use their own children as weapons and human shields.”
I was very careful to explicitly say not all Muslims, so I’m going to assume you’re engaging in bad faith and will end this conversation. I will continue to fight for Muslim freedom to worship peacefully, as I do for people of all faiths (and races) without your approval.
The nazis and the zionist and the same shit, liars and bastards who invent excuses to kill people
Yeah, you can try that way. You’ll get downvotes for sure but it beats trying to be super clever so that the insults are lost on the people who it needs to sting.
Hey you are welcome to come on down here and lead the revolution buddy, you don’t have a job or family right? So you can just protest 24/7 and if you die you have no one who needs you? We just had one of the largest protest in US history, you want a civil war? Cause it is probably gonna happen and guess what you Canadians are gonna get involved in our shit so I hope I see your ass on the front line.
You mean for a third time? Fat lot of good the first two did
