Trump calls Zelenskyy a ‘dictator’ as US rift with Ukraine deepens
-
America looks divided on the global stage but I’ve never met an American IRL who vocalized a want to become Russian. It’s a ‘Russian mail order bride’ because most Americans don’t want to be Russian.
-
The only ppl who believe that are engaging in radical politics. That’s you! Even in the most blue state, there are red areas. Even in California, there are red counties. America is not so divided that red voters in New York would love to Russia. If you think it is that divided, then maybe you are part of the people creating the division.
-
Nah man. I agree with you.
I’m only saying hypothetically, if America were to ally and there was no way to come to a unified decision internally then you would likely see a division. I’m not saying that I think it would literally happen at all. I really don’t think it would. I’m an American in my 40s and Russia has always been the big bad boogie man you don’t want to become.

Honey, you're a one hour old account with nothing but horribly bad takes on everything.
Good luck

There were 2 people who tried
Thomas Matthew Crooks
Ryan Wesley Routh

Only Dicktators that have Putin’s smell.

Projection at it again.

They can kill the filibuster at any time.
Also this is assuming that anything Congress does will mean anythibg.

I'm not trying to be glib, but read this. You don't fix big, systemic problems by working only within the system.
-
He's reinstating corrupt officials. He's piling in sycophants into every corner of the government. He's declaring he alone has the ability to interpret laws. He's killing major federal departments. He's ignoring policy. He's ignoring court orders. He's literally calling himself a king.
We are way, way beyond "firing civil servants", and it is just going to get worse.
I don't think he will amend the constitution. I think at the moment it doesn't matter and it will be ignored. We are now actively in the greatest constitutional crisis in American history.
Understand that the shit has gotten very, very real. All this other stuff that we've counted on all our lives is gone unless something massive happens REALLY SOON.
-
Great way to get your country and allies nuked, however.
-
I can tell you don't follow politics or the news if you think they need to "overtake" us when the elected president is capitulating to their every desire while half the voting population cheers it on.
-
What desires are being capitulated? I legitimately don’t know any American who is a ‘fan of Russia’ but I can’t even say what Russia wants, much less find it in the current movements. Can you list a top 5 list of wants that’s more detailed than ‘overtake __, rule ___.’ It looks like Trump is doing what he wants and playing sales games.
-
can you be more specific
-
Use your imagination
-
Magats be like:
Ukraine under invasion by a foreign nation and it's constitution does not allow elections while under martial law: "Dictatorship"
USA during peacetime, and the elected officials actively sabotaging the institutions of democracy: "Not A Dictatorship"
-
To start, we have Trump calling Zelensky a "dictator" and blaming Ukraine for "starting the war with Russia." We have Trump negotiating the removal of sanctions against Russia. We have Trump calling for Russia to be re-added to the G7. Russia hacked the DNC in 2016 and leaked all their information to help get him elected the first time. During his first term, we had Republicans walking around like this:
Russia wants the power and influence of the former USSR. They're doing it by destabilizing and weakening western countries like the US and UK via bot farms on social media, getting people like Trump elected and leading them around by their nose, getting Brexit passed, stoking animosity and conflict, engaging in proxy wars like in Syria, supporting dictatorships like North Korea, trying to destabilize NATO while forming their own organization called BRICS, etc, etc.
-
This transition will not take 10 years. It has barely been a month since the new administration took over and they’re well on their way to fundamentally changing the USA for the foreseeable future.
-
Bro have you not been paying attention? The new administration is governing without any respect for the law, they just do things and say they’re all powerful. And so far, nobody is stopping them. Nobody really has the power to, anyway.
