I wonder if America will finally see what’s happening when he once again is handed a victory by the courts.
Who am I kidding.
Many of us can see but are powerless
Google this one quick trick about where political power grows that mods don't want you to know!
Just fucking die already Donny!
We're just 7 months in to this term. 7.
*reign
Not if I can help it
Can you?
If over half the world wakes up and checks the news, hoping that you're dead, you might be a piece of shit.
60% of the USA and 95% of the rest of the world > half.
I'm checking every hour, can't come soon enough
I’ve said it many times before but when this pos finally dies I along with many many others will be drinking and celebrating like it’s new years. The 2nd American Independence Day will be the day Donny is dead.
New Years? I'm taking a week off work and my family is gonna have to call a search party to find me I'm gonna party so hard.
Same with me. If I’m working at the news breaks that Donny has died I’m immediately taking vacation on the spot and parting hard.
Funny thing is, California has to go to the people to vote. Texas just did it. Who is more in the wrong here? Orange idiot strikes again.
After the California courts approved it to go forward. Everything by the book. That's an incomprehensible concept to him.
That’s the difference between a democracy and a dictatorship. I feel America is going to be broken up like this.
It already is.

And the Texas democrats had to be held at gunpoint to go to the special session
GOP just rubber stamps everything they want and we have to swim against a torrent of old man feces and ICE agents to pass basic tit-for-tat responses. Fucking toddlers don't understand how to function in a civilized society so now they stomp their feet on our necks.
"Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."
Conservatives are fundamentally bad people. Hypocritically supporting your in-group while harming your out-group is bad person behavior. Someone admitting they are a conservative should elicit the same response as someone saying they kick puppies or punch babies. It's inexcusable and has no place in polite society.
"Kill puppies and kick babies" is more accurate to this current bunch
“Torture puppies and murder babies” is even more accurate to the current bunch.

"Us vs. Them"
The problem is we're Americans. Conservatives are traitors.
And of course the courts are in his pocket so guess who will be allowed to go on their merry way and who won't? I fucking hate it here. Keep fucking around, Don. The find out is coming.
I fucking hate it here
I know it's not for everyone, but emigration is an option. I left the US 25 years ago and never regretted - and that was when Dubya only barely started turning the country fascist, and it was still normal and somewhat pleasant to live in. So just imagine how much better life is outside the US today...
If you have the possibility, you should consider it.
I really wish I could but I'm just a worthless uneducated factory schmuck. Nowhere worth moving to would have me :/
If you are fully literate, you can look into teaching English as a second language.
You don’t need to speak the language of the place you work, they even sometimes prefer you don’t because they teach through immersion after a certain level.
They handle visas and housing and stuff most of the time, too, and it’s not just Asian countries, like most people think. Like you could go teach in Greece if you want.
I’m looking into this, myself. I may just do it but I have to give up my solo homestead dreams so it’sa last resort.
Don't sell yourself short. You never know... You might have some skills that are in demand somewhere. Or if not, but there are welcoming countries that only require one to be motivated enough.
At any rate, it doesn't cost anything to look around for the minimum requirements for immigration into the countries that might interest you.
Leaving the usa instead of fighting to fix it will only mean the entire world is doomed since the worlds strongest military is the united states, so itl only be a matter of time untill wherever you move is captured.
The Wehrmacht thought they were the most powerful military force on the planet, but piss poor leadership, THANKFULLY, starting from the top. The Little Fucking Austrian Corporal wrecked the strategy by replacing his best field commander with "yes" officers. Guess who is repeating the identical mistake.
The difference is the Wehrmacht didn't have hundreds of ICBMs, nuclear subs, aircraft carriers, and the ability to land an entire military base anywhere in the world in a week's time.
All the meth also didn't help...
Well, like I said, it's not for everyone.
Even in the best of times, the United States is a country that requires a background level of stress and paranoia to live in. You realize that when you move to another developed country where you don't have to lock your door or wonder whether the next person you meed is armed, mentally unstable or up to no good.
Even before this whole fascist shitshow got started in 2001, I considered the US a lost cause that's not really worth fighting for. Dubya and the USA Patriot Act was the thing that finally pushed me to leave.
I only have a finite number of hours on this dirtball and I fully intend to spend them as best I can with my family and my children, and offer them a good life. I don't have time to fight for lost causes.
It's a choice ultimately. Emigration isn't for everybody. If you want to stay and try to make America better, more power to you. I just want people to know that life is sweeter elsewhere.

Lmfao this is so funny and sad at the same time, the US is already the second country I've lived in. Seem like anywhere you can go, dictatorships just happens anyways.
These types of things are so easily said, so much more difficult to do. The US was one of the easiest countries to immigrate to, and that took over a decade of waitlisting. Like they started with the paperwork before I was even born.
Like idk you can't just hope over to another country and expect everything to be perfect.
Like what next, go to the third country, start learning another language and history all over again, then some wanna be dictator gets elected, and I go running to a fourth country again? When does this ever end?
Like... unless they actually starts doing a Tiananmen, sometimes you just have to accept life isn't perfect. You can't always have a place to run to, because there aren't a whole list of countrys ready to accept an average normie that doesn't have any special skills like idk nuclear scientist or something..

Keep fucking around, Don. The find out is coming.
Me:
walls are closing in on him now!!!
which would create precident to undo the texas redistricting if successful? right?
Hahaha no.
Precedent*
It should, but they won't see it that way
🤣
Federal Government has no say.
Sure they do. If congress passes a law preventing gerrymandering, it can. And I’d support it.
Any law against gerrymandering passed by this congress will only target democrat states. I live in Missouri, a state completely run by Republicans, and in the last decade we have passed referendums on independent redistricting only for us to pass another referendum that gave the authority back to the governor before any independent redistricting could happen. We also recently had a referendum on banning ranked-choice voting. It had a provision that said only citizens can vote, something that was already a law, but because this state is full of fox news addicted morons it passed. Republicans have no interest in improving elections. They'd get rid of them entirely if they could, which they'll be able to soon the way things are going.
