    So exactly what The Burger Reich has been doing since they officially declared war on Iraq in 2003? And probably before then too?

    “The Trump administration is saying that one person — the president — now decides if the United States is going to war.”

    This including domestic targets is new, but the last time the US formally declared war, which is the last time Congress exercised its constitutional power here, was 1942.

    no chance this guy can keep any of this shit a secret.

    he’ll call in to Fox & Friends first thing and be like, “I totally sent those beautiful black helicopters to pick off those kids at Berkley and it was tremendous. Everybody is talking about it. Great ratings. I did that. They told me not to say anything, but I’m going to.”

      It’s not like he even has to keep it secret if there is no opposition.

    His presidency will end of old age, but right beforehand his make-a-wish will be to visit 5th avenue one more time. And he’ll do it. And all his fan girls will cheer and clap

    My only solace in the face of this is that the US is really to impulsive and lazy to see anything through. Yes, it will be terrible…but hopefully we are too dumb and fat to reach complete authoritarian control in regards to eliminating dissent. Kind of like how we just got tired of waiting for AI and called LLMs AI

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
