Good to hear. Far too many people are sitting on ass, trying to fool themselves or others they'd do different in our shoes, or worse, pretending they're helping.

As history shows us, sometimes societies headed towards collapse or despotism are simply incapable of stopping themselves for one reason or another. Those societies often end up negatively impacting their neighbors and the problems are then thrust onto their doorstep where they face the same dilemmas they pretended to be capable of decisively solving just a little while prior.

Are you going to be there or send tangible support?

By "fronting the cash and material" did you mean giving away our expiring munitions to someone fighting one of our greatest geopolitical rivals as they invade to chip away at democracy worldwide?

Certainly legacy media has not reported on it yet, but that doesn't invalidate a developing story as much as you imply.

Talk about a pick me gesture; I guess he's trying to prove he's "one of the good ones."

Enjoy your cargo cult.

Just doing a particular song and dance convinced it's surely going to work any minute now, ignoring any evidence.

You're confused if you concluded without evidence that he gives a shit if the left pretends he fucks couches while he's shuffling minorities off to concentration camps.

You didn't answer the question, presumably because you don't have one.

What? Trump's approval is pretty much 50/50, starkly along party lines.

What makes you think that he cares if people say he fucks couches?

There's plenty factual stuff to use that far right people hate though:

  • Being in the military with zero people skills means he was an ineffectual leader and a desk driving paper pusher
  • He wears eyeliner
  • He grew a beard to hide his weak chin
  • He's a white nationalist with a minority wife who looks like she's at gunpoint every time she's on camera

Again, inventing a lie to attack him with will just galvanize his supporters. Use what's already true and very conflicting with far right ideology.

I'll never understand why people shit on him for fictional things when there's plenty of real things to shit on him for.

I honestly think it helps him/MAGA, because it teaches them, their supporters, and impressionable others that people make stuff up about him to criticize, so they can safely ignore criticism of him.

WW3 is going to be so confusing.

I'd be willing to bed these percentages are based on the responses to WH communications (of threats), and those who did not respond at all have received the harshest penalty category.

Of course, an island with zero inhabitants is not likely to have responded.

Putting out a fire you started feels like doing hero's work.

Tolerance Paradox.

Part of being truly nice is being not nice to people who are not nice.

How many times have you seen a cop strangle someone to death for 9 minutes since Covid 19?
