It’s fun to imagine what would have happened in that country if Obama had done any one of the things these fuckers have. Deleted part of the constitution? They’d have raided the damn White House.

We do not share the definition of fun.
Nah, it would be like the freedom fries thing. Republicans have short attention spans. All Obama would have to do would be to eat a fish taco or something.
They raided the damn white house anyway. Everything they say is utterly disingenuous, "reactions" most of all
I mean nothing’s stopping us. Except common sense, a sense of humanity, empathy for the poor bastards in between us and them, and having to get up early.
Why, anyone wanna go apeshit with an inflated sense of ego and purpose, and bust up the White House with some bear spray and assorted handguns?
We’ll need to get those cute little walkie talkies. And someone will have to get a big truck for all the flags.
I will do anything if we can use Walkie Talkies!
They're really trying to make it difficult for people to look up their rights
This is why libraries and books are SO IMPORTANT!!!! The technofacist oligarchy would like nothing more than for you to get rid of all your books and media and subscribe to streaming services and gibbity. RESIST!!!!!!
You're right. I just recently decided to remove all social media and switch to full physical media. Only using forums like these and steam to play some games. I feel like my privacy is being taken away from me and I'm not even in the US. I'm in Europe.
Good for you! Im trying the same. Planning for steam to go to total shit in less than 10 years as well so be prepared for that.
yeah it sucks because steam is actually not a bad platform. Out of all I've used its definitely the best.. with that said everything's been going to shit so I expect it to happen sooner or later
Well you still own nothing you buy so steam really isn't good..but once gaben is gone it will get REAL bad.
The missing sections seem to have been restored. Good work everyone, you saved democracy.
👊💥🇺🇲
For now
Uh huh, sure, a """coding error""" deleted 3 sections of the founding piece of legislation of this country. Yup. Definitely a """coding error""", and not something more sinister, like an overly enthusiastic and explicitly cruel administration hellbent on crushing the citizens. DEFINITELY.
Another distraction. Release the Epstein files.
The Epstein files are a distraction in and of themselves.
No more taxes to Israel.
No more gestapo.
Bring back and improve social programs.
there's reason to think that epstein and israel are actually separate heads of the same hydra. anyway it's possible to pay attention to more than one thing at once.
The Epstein files are the distillation of rage in our country. They represent what Americans are most mad about, the rich and powerful doing whatever they want and trampling over the common folk. They are not a distraction, it's a focusing lens.
Yes, it definitely is possible and important to pay attention to more than one thing at a time.
I disagree. Run the alleged pedophile out of office and suddenly his replacement will have a much harder time managing the outrage at the awful things the US government's doing.
Corporal Couchfucker from the public affairs office was hired specifically because he doesn't pose a threat to Biff's personality cult.
And it will have always been that way, because we gave the keys to the most powerful military in the world to a bunch of psychopathic Nazis.
Hey, now. They said "oops", guys. C'mon. 🙃
So, no more navy? Sounds plausible
??? Do they think people will just... forget?
They've never been wrong underestimating the public so far . . .
