It will rippled through the States like a tsunami. Continuing down this path will ensure the end of our country.

    See I thought deregulation started under reagan but it seems like the inflation and interest rates had to do with the times. Like the energy crisis. Honestly im looking at his deregulation now and what was done with beer brewing and airlines is the rare type of deregulation I can approve of.

    If this is what they've stopped hiding, imagine what they're still hiding.

    Yes, shit has never been perfect, but using a "whataboutism" defense to compare the current situation to the past is only working to normalize what's happening now.

    THIS. IS. NOT. NORMAL.

    Eisenhower can suck it for helping normalize nuclear weaponization imo

    Eisenhower helped shape the conventionalization of nuclear weapons

    "According to the State Department history, on the same day that Eisenhower met with White House reporters in the Executive Office Building, Lewis Strauss, chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission, “informed [White House press secretary James] Hagerty that Dulles had checked with him before making this statement and that ‘he [Strauss] was all for it.’ Strauss reportedly told Hagerty that ‘we wanted to show our enemies [the mainland Chinese] that we now deal with A-bombs as conventional weapons.’”

    Mask finally fell all the way off and the face underneath has always been the same one since the start of the United States

    That title is a joke on how poorly educated Americans are.

    First, massacre natives to grab land. Second, massacre own citizens to build railroads. Third, massacre each other over keeping slaves or industrialize and keep poorly paid workers in inhuman conditions. And that just in the first century or so.

    I'd say it would be more appropriate to say it's never seen corruption like this since the last time everyone forgot about corruption like this.

    That's not the definition of corruption. A leader ordering horrors for the benefit of their own people is normal throughout history.

    Corruption is when leaders do it for personal profit. For example Andrew Jackson killed Native Americans and opposed the Second Bank of the US but he didn't create his own currency like Trump crypto.
