This has been constant slew of headlines across the news world (minus those with the orange hues around their nostils), and given the arrogance of the twosome responsible...I keep sayin', it's just beginning.

They've both made piles of money, so now it's about power and massive influence. While I'm gonna enjoy the sputtering and denials from the "Make America God AWful" crews in the future, the damage being done to actual American lives is not anything humorous, whatsoever.

How much worse does it need to get beyond ignorantly dismissing a bunch of people responsible for our nuclear arsenal, followed by another sheepish backpedaling? Seriously, f***ing up the nuke personnel situation...I kinda triple-dog-dare the orange/VIPS bois' defenders to deny that they'd demand everyone to be fired/jailed, were they from the dnc.

Huh?

Both Reddit and especially mother jones are liberal and hardcore liberal respectively.

That’s why I pulled the quotes directly.

I need my medication. Without it my brain would fry itself quite quickly. I’ve seen longterm untreated epilepsy and it’s not good. Anyone threatening my health can fuck right off.

As Trump would say: "He who saves his Country does not violate any Law,"

Yeah, I’d be losing sleep over that one. Perhaps cut the strings on your shoulders that he continues to pull on those he enjoys driving crazy.

Luigi Mangione was just trying to save his country. He did nothing wrong.

Luigi is still locked up. I'll be happy when he's released. He was obviously trying to save his country.

Maybe DOGE will simply dismiss the guards in his prison, without checking their job descriptions/priorities. If they can do it for our nuclear arsenal personnel, prison guards have to be at least as likely to get pink slips...!

A co-worker and friend of mine with epilepsy died from a med issue when he had an episode and his car hit a tree... its nothing to fuck with so I totally understand your position. some scary shit you are dealing with.

My concern is with all the mis-information out there, I am hesitant to follow any source farther than the person of origin, and if it isnt a full quote I just dismiss it as a hit piece where they capture something out of context. I am going to admit I havent followed up on this much at all , but in a broader sense, I do still wonder how much of our country's division is really a matter of where the people get their news. I really just dont trust many sources these days. ( left or right)

Fascinating perspective. I'm sure it'll happen. It's about as likely as your other worries.

Umm okay. I'll start cracking jokes about your epilepsy since you find the death of my friend's brother something funny to pick at. It just makes you a loser, dude.

...and he's back in Vlad's pocket as a revisionist! Traitor-in-chief, always...!

(again, practically every news agency has the same story, with the same quotes)

"Trump's comments - some of which appeared to mirror common Russian talking points about the war - came just hours after US officials met with a Russian delegation in Riyadh to open talks to end the conflict, which has raged for almost three years.

Zelensky later accused Trump of "living in a disinformation space" created by Russia."

But...according to everyone that ISN'T suckling on Putin's teet:

"Ukraine didn't start the war. Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, having annexed Crimea in 2014.

The annexation came after Ukraine's pro-Russian president was ousted by popular demonstrations."

"Russia also backed proxy forces who seized areas of eastern Ukraine, and it accused the new government in Kyiv of discrimination and genocide against Russian speakers. The International Court of Justice has rejected Moscow's claims."

So...I just shudder to think of the others that remember the cold war, and Russia's love of disinformation; as long as orange boi is in there to parrot Vlad's talking points, Russia's winning in our highest office.

...aaaaand, he's filed executive orders to put more departments under the thumb of the Executive Branch (so much for "independent regulatory committees), before declaring "Hail to the King" after attacking NY's congestion charge.

So, basically, he's expanding the Executive Branch's power, and is known to basically deny/end that which is not loyal to him above all else. This can only go well....
