I did not have "The US administration switches to communism" on my 2025 bingo card. But Trump is now taking over the means of production. image
When I was in my twenties, I talked to my old aunt who seemed a bit down. "The world is upside down", she said. At the time I did not understand what she meant, because she was old enough to have seen it all, and I was just starting to see. But here decades later, I am thinking about how much has changed in my own life. I grew up in a world where American presidents wanted to kick some Russian ass. And now, the US President wants to kiss some Russian ass. My aunt was right.
Trump has laid siege to the US capital on the false pretence that Washington DC is drowning in crime. And while these soldiers and their armored vehicles are keeping civilians in check, the Trump regime is slowly preventing the next election by redrawing the Congressional election districts. What we could only read in history books about Hitler ending democracy in Germany, we now get to see in real time.
My hero this week is representative Ann Johnson of Houston Texas, who tells the Republicans of her state what a corrupt, racist, bunch of losers they are for wanting to destroy democracy to steal their way to more power. She is not mincing words here. πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯
I think the real reason JD Vance and Pete Hegseth want Greenland is that everywhere they go in the US, they get heckled by citizens dissatisfied with their policies. Here they are trying to visit the National Guard they have stationed in Washington DC. There are several videos like this one, where people shout β€œNazis!”, β€œGet out!”, β€œFree DC!”, etc.
@npub1xw72...r9m5 I have to ask, are the citizens down in DC going to accept this Trump military occupation long term? I think here in Denmark, if the government rolled military forces into the streets of major cities, that government would not survive long. There would be mass strikes, blockades and other initiatives to force the government to resign.
While multiple Russian oil refineries are on fire, Trump posts that the problem with the Ukraine war is, Ukraine has not attacked Russia. Does this man exclusively watch Fox News? image
There is a war in Europe. People are dying, and on the way into The Oval Office, JD Vance tells President Zelenskyy to "behave". President Zelenskyy is the key person standing between us and Russian oppression. But living in his own bubble, JD Vance clearly has no idea about the gravity of the situation Ukraine and Europe is in.
It is now 213 days since the Ukraine war would be solved in 24 hours.
Crimea is Ukraine. Kherson is Ukraine. Zaporizhzhya is Ukraine. Donetsk is Ukraine. Luhansk is Ukraine. If Trump wants to swap some land, give Putin Mar-a-lago.
