This is what it's about. Thank you.

It's not just socialism, it's kindness and the exemplification of a civil servant actually seeking to serve the will of the people.

In many ways, we're simply talking about the concept of a true republic here.

This is a rare vision of the America the founding fathers envisioned.

I'll always laugh at this, it fits everything

I'm really curious if he/they recognized the meme potential of this when they made it. They both seem pretty smart, so I think it has to be a consideration at least. Maybe it was the entire goal? Regardless, it's perfect and I love seeing it every time.

He should fall down more stairs.

They're so old and staying in office so long that falling on the stairs is a real possibility.

I agree! And since we're dreaming, we need a way for the People to directly impeach federal employees elected or appointed officials (edited). I'm so sick of witnessing impeachable offenses on a daily basis while our "representatives" sit on their thumbs, counting their bribes.

They know. They approve because he's hurting the 'right people.'

Alabama is the worst state in the union, and Alabamians are the worst, look at who they voted for

Yea, any respectable democracy would have shut the city down with protests until this fuckwit steps down.

For the fuckests of sakes, you had a president who had to step down because he got a blowjob. Granted, that wasn't okay, but calling for imprisonment and possible torture of your political opponents because they give half a shit about international law is fucking insane.

It stopped being a respectable democracy when Trump mocked a disabled reporter and was still able to continue his campaign with no consequences

For being against Israel.

What fucking law

Prisoners at Guantanimo Bay have been asking that for decades.

If I spent my career pretending to be indignant at the inefficiency and ineffectiveness of the government while cosplaying as someone trying to fix the problem, I’d also be scared of the guy who showed it’s not only possible to bring about positive change, but possible to do in less than one term.

Conservatives have to demonize socialism because they know it's the only possible thing that could pose a realistic threat to their greedy, cruel and self-serving lifestyles.

What does history teach us about stopping fascism?

I would take the last one… but it seems more the contrary these days

Edit: probably it wasn’t clear: I meant the business part. People are not influencing the state evidently

Not to be a nitpicker, but its "hanged" not "hung". Hung is the past tense of hanging something up (Jimmy went and hung up his coat). The past tense of the execution is hanged (Jimmy was hanged at dawn in town square).

And disappear for forever

Needs to be shot.

I think he is afraid. He's affraid that the rise of the DSA will let Americans see a better option, that the fearmongering is on its last leg before dying out, and the poor will realize who the true targets for their resentment. Whether its true or not is purely speculative. I mean the good liars do a great job of showing how stupid MAGAts are. But, the possibility is now more apparent than ever.

To me it sounds like an angry sentient inner tube from a shitty water park. Tommy hates Thomas the tank engine, who happens to be completely oblivious to his existence.

Even if there was an arrest warrant, Guantanamo is still a concentration camp and not a rule of law prison. So sending an American citizen there would still be fascism.

Alabama guy here. So disappointed in my state. I’ve been pushing for Doug Jones, but I keep getting, “I don’t like Doug Jones!” He’s better than an ignorant washed up Florida man half ass football coach. I’ve not heard the sack of nails before. I’ve heard box of rocks bag of hammers. Gonna keep it and add it to my repertoire.

The issue is the low information voter isn't hearing the reasonable thing at all. The media will spin Mamdami's point ("mamdami hates jews!"), then top it off with this quote. So Tubeville sounds "strong" and "defending America". They won't ever mention Netanyahu at all, nor the genocide.

Low information voters won't ever look farther than the spin anyway.

So, exactly on brand from the grand old pedo party

A cage in the desert is fine. Pay minimun wage for an intern to feed him.

The high security prison will likely end up being a five star hotel where he gets full access to the outside anyhow.

You don't need crimes or due process if you send them to an illegal prison. That's the whole point of an illegal prison.

With shit like this "protecting democracy" or "preserve our institutions" sounds so fucking hollow. "Protect our way of life" becomes a fascist dog whistle than just an actual desire for security.

Don't insult a sackful of hammers. At least those can be useful...
