He does and thus far nobody with the power to say otherwise has.

I wonder if he’d lift all the bans, like he did with Xitter, considering he is responsible for a decent chunk of them.

I am doubtful.

And how does trespassing on some random person’s property and destroying their car constitute “resistance?”

Assuming for one moment that the ends really do justify the means, how is burning somebody’s car going to stop the rise of fascism?

While true, Erdogan has also been very supportive of Ukraine and Europe emerging as a power independent of America.

So, despite having spent the past decade destroying Turkish democracy, he may still be remembered more positively than Donald Trump.

After the past ten years, clearly it can.

I seriously hate these people more than Trump.

I mean, did they do literally no research into what his policy proposals were? What the repercussions would be for those in her line of work? Did it not occur to her that the migrants she pays shit wages to were the people he was ranting about deporting?

The answer, of course, is no. She did no research. She dedicated no meaningful thought to it. She wanted to fuck the liberals because they put Harriet Tubman on a twenty dollar bill and she heard about the three trans athletes in her entire state and that was about where her consideration of the matter ended.

On a just barely positive note, we dedicate a frankly stupid amount of funding to keeping farms going despite their being laughably uncompetitive, most of the funding not really helping our food supply or economy, so it would probably be for the better if these cuts stick and idiots like her are forced to actually run their farms like businesses instead of thousand acre welfare queens.

The majority of Congressional Democrats tried to let the government shut down.

What would constitute fighting?

People keep complaining about Democrats not doing anything, but under current constraints there isn’t much they can do.

People seem to spend more time complaining about Democrats not opposing Republicans than they do complaining about Republicans destroying America.

Maybe we’ll get lucky and he’ll go through with his denuclearization plan and that will finally be the straw that breaks the camel’s back and the military will take him out.

How depressing that our best case scenario is a military coup.
