Lady, the states have always supported dictators that were friendly to them (often because they were installed BY the USA, like Fulgencion Batista, Manuel Noriega, Augusto Pinochet, to name a few)

"waa waa trump is a russian puppet"

Karma sure is a bitch, huh? Enjoy.

I upvoted this comment, but schadenfreude isn’t a good look anywhere.

[–] PotatoLibre@feddit.it 8 points 5 hours ago

TBO US supported dictators before, Pinochet, Marcos, Saddam, Suharto, Batista and others.

This is the first time for a major land. Still scary and absurd tough.

MAGA = Y'all are f✓cking re+ards!

Fuck. See, that was easy, no censoring necessarily at all.

As in: Fuck off for using the r-word.

They are retards sorry but it’s true

[–] Critical_Thinker@lemm.ee 5 points 1 hour ago

The war on all words that describe a negative trait continues.

I promise whatever the goalposts are set to will be the next inappropriate term.

Euphemism treadmill go brrr

Why are Vermont reps so based??? Isn't Bernie also from there?

[–] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 hours ago

Vermont is awesome, we’re planning to move there once our family situation changes, but it may be a few more years of caretaking before we can. In the mean time we’re trying to keep the state we’re in at least purple as long as possible.

[–] Bluefalcon@discuss.tchncs.de 36 points 15 hours ago

The bare minimum, that's all people want. Show a fucking backbone and rage!!!!!

[–] asteriskeverything@lemmy.world 29 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

Why the fuck are they waiting until after he came into office to hammer home the Russian ties and really bring it to the forefront?

[–] Serinus@lemmy.world 19 points 14 hours ago

It's literally a quote from his debate vs Hillary.

[–] the_q@lemm.ee 10 points 15 hours ago

Because they are cockroaches and only act for their own survival.

If Republicans could feel shame I’m sure they’d be very upset

[–] Brickhead92@lemmy.world 10 points 9 hours ago

But not upset with themselves, upset that society hadn't lowered the bar far enough for them to not feel shame for their actions.

[–] Frozengyro@lemmy.world 34 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Anyone with integrity, morals, or even a backbone was pushed out many years ago.

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 19 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

My grandfather, who took a pistol off a dead Nazi doctor in the 14th Armored Division, quit the Republican Party when they had those Purple Heart Band Aids.

I guess if you get one after waking up under the body of your dead friend you don’t get the joke.

[–] jabeez@lemmy.today 2 points 6 hours ago

Yeah, that was when the myth of the "liberal" media should have been permanently put down, along with the GOP, but nah, the MSM dutifully "both sides" it and so many (most?) veterans had zero problem with it. That was when the (D) party should have had its real 'Houston, we have a problem' moment, and started fighting the metastasizing problem of right-wing/fascist propaganda that gets merely parroted by the rest of the MSM, but alas, they did fuck-all while it just got worse and worse and worse.

She NEVER thought? Was she in a coma during 2016-2020?

Terrorists? No, no, they were Freedom Fighters, for realsies!!

[–] YoiksAndAway@lemmy.zip 78 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

And all it took for Republicans to get on board was the threat of primaries funded by Trump's multi-billionaire buddy.

[–] NJSpradlin@lemmy.world 25 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago) (2 children)

I mean, that’s all we know in the open. I seriously doubt there weren’t background threats and bribes.

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 8 points 17 hours ago

There's always organic threats too from the ~~brownshirt~~ redhat thugs

The True President.

[–] civil_drive@sh.itjust.works 38 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

That’s my rep! Glad that the little State of Vermont has sane representatives in both chambers of congress.

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 3 points 10 hours ago

Yeah, I'm wondering what the hell is going on in Vermont, and can you guys ship it to the rest of the country?

You're assuming democracy will still exist.

They're playing the Nazi/Putin play book with Project 2025.

[–] Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 6 points 10 hours ago

The Nazi playbook ended with a suicide and a bunch of executions.

[–] Atelopus-zeteki@fedia.io 21 points 20 hours ago

Thank You Representative Balint!!

[–] minnow@lemmy.world 15 points 19 hours ago

She got it backwards, they side with Trump because Russia said so.
