They fact that America has no avenue for 'vote of no confidence' and government dissolution is astounding. Still, it's a good wake up call for the rest of the world to break ties and rethink alliances.

Dear military leaders, You swore an oath to protect the constitution from enemies foreign and domestic. Please go ahead and arrest this man, his cabinet, all Israeli backed politicians, ice, everyone in the Epstein files, all Mossad agents, everyone involved in Dodge and everyone involved in 4th amendment violating mass surveillance
Military Leaders: Seriously he's fucking crazy. Batshit. We can't work with him at all. Period.
Corporate News: Military Leaders Suggest Trump is Not Doing Well
Military Leaders: Seriously he's fucking crazy. Batshit. We can't work with him at all. Period. But still, let's follow his orders and bomb innocent civilians and schoolgirls, the corrupt fascist pedophile is the commander in chief afterall.
FTFY.
They’ve always killed innocent children no matter who was President, why would they stop now?
Yeah they have all the power, they could just coup him if they actually cared.
And are concerned… lol
They said the same thing about Hitler, he still managed to genocide millions. But far be it from Western society to learn from the past, no we erase it and pretend it never happened.
Nah they learned from the past. They took notes.
Exactly. To them the mistake to learn from isn't the fascism itself; it's that the fascism was defeated.
That's why they're targeting Europe as well.
Lol what the fuck are you talking about? Have you seen any pictures of the protests here?
Countless people are aware, and literally screaming it not only at passerby's, but also at the actual fascists roaming or streets (ICE).
"Western" workers are furious, and loud right now. Why would you belittle that effort? Why downplay the struggle taking place, that is claiming the lives of those who care enough to stand up against this?
The people trying, and failing, to erase this are called conservatives. They are republicans, MAGA, and/or Christofascists. Name and shame, everyone.
Quick questions from someone who wants sane government to return some stability to the world, and begin prosecutions on Trump and his fuck-knuckles:
What have the protests accomlpished so far? What's changed because of them?
Honest questions!
Sorry, but the US 'protests' are a joke. You don't protest by dancing and cosplaying in front of a camera. You protest by shutting down infrastructure, in a peaceful but organised and disciplined manner, until your demands are satisfied.
I understand that there are limits to real protest in the US, and of course it would be silly to demand that anyone risk being shot. But don't call a party a 'protest'.
Have you seen the protests we display on the weekends when the weather is nice? Huh? The us protester...
Shutdown the economy you dummies. Protest when it hurts where it hurts. Are there any consequences for these protests? Or are you just hoping people will finally change their minds and stop voting for single stupid issues like laughs weird and other bullshit
What Europeans don't understand is that we have different tools in America. A General Strike will work in Europe, where there are unions, strong worker protections, and worker friendly governments. When Europeans go on a General Strike, their governments listen.
But in America, if you attempt a General Strike, they'll just fire you, and it's totally legal. Go ahead, be the guy who advocates for a General Strike at work. You'll be the guy looking for a new job, while the rest of the workers get back to work.
However, in America, we can shut down the entire government, or even just part of it, and as long as our elected leaders hold strong, it actually works to force the government to change.
Why do a General Strike, which costs us money, possibly our jobs, and hurts US? Does anyone think that MAGA will see Dems going through self-inflicted suffering, and feel bad enough to change? The only thing that they'll understand is if we inflict pain on THEM, and nothing hurts them more than taking away their money.
Right now, we have denied ICE their funding, and they have been forced to greatly reduce their activities. The government shutdown is working far more effectively than a single day General Strike world have been.
General Strikes work in Europe, not America, and government shutdown work in America, but not Europe. We'll keep using the tools that work for us.
i really hope you guys find a way through this! but i am afraid that the profound changes that have been made inside your administration at all levels will be close to impossible to reverse and same for the international stage. more to it, the next administration if it is a saner one will spend most of its time reverting these changes and more than likely will do so while neglecting the mounting issues that people face. this will lead to more distrust in the system and some other nutjob will come into power... the longer this takes the harder will be to get out. I know because we have this issue, Hungary managed to get out of something similar after 16 years and it is still early days to really say they changed course. Slovakia is there now. And on and on.
good luck and clear minds!
We will definitely have some rebuilding to do, but that can be an advantage, as long as we can control that rebuild to go in the proper direction.
These are unprecedented times, and they will require unprecedented solutions. I hope our next generation of Reps and Senators are courageous enough to fight for a positive future for Americans, and not just the wealthy.
The people trying, and failing, to erase this are called conservatives. They are republicans, MAGA, and/or Christofascists. Name and shame, everyone.
The people who are trying to erase this are everyone who goes to their job as a cop, in the military, with ICE, anyone in the defense industry, anyone who enables the machine and everyone in their lives who do not hold them accountable.
that is certainly a way to interpret my comment
Translation: Trump is ready to go nuclear and his fascist panel only want to play military ops to enrich themselves.
FOX: "Roll some B-footage of Trump at Mar-a-lago last year."
Someone should do the same for all of his duties.
