I really need people to start to realize that we’re at least a full decade further into the erosion and decline of the United States than most people seem to think we are. Trump is a symptom of an already sick and dying system. This isn’t a fluke
Europe should invade and force a regime change, liberate the US citizens.
Once again, this isn’t about regime. It’s a systemic issue. The U.S. is a net negative for everyone, especially it’s own people. The only solution is end the whole thing and try something new
And just like every kinda country/ government it should come from it’s own people not from a foreign power.
It will not last if it comes from outside, the one who got taken down before, always goes back to the fake patriotism and put another dictator in same place back in the end, if not the same fucker (see Napoleon for example).
We should view wealth as a foreign power. The ultra wealthy are divested from the care and keeping of the country, and the regular people in it. They are openly hostile to the citizens, exploiting them and extracting rent and labor from them; and they seek to usurp and control the government.
So europeans should re-colonize it?
Funny though. Americans seem to think they can cart Blanche take control of, oh I don’t know: Cuba, Canada, Greenland, Denmark, Venezuela, Panama, and Iran and overthrow their governments with whatever right they seem to think they have. Hypocrisy much?
Edit. I forgot the Gulf of Mexico.
I’d be alright with the European Commission appointing an interim government here. I say this as a USian
I say we nuke the entire site from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.
Nah homie, let’s just vote harder.
I am going to vote so hard
No, thanks. Though I will admit the idea of holding some Nuremberg Trials to see who gets hanged is tantalizing.
Get countless of their own people killed to save us Americans from ourselves until the next pedophile president comes along?
Not touching that crap with a ten meter pole, thanks
Growing up in New Zealand we looked up to the USA as most nations did
It has been downhill since 9/11
Exactly, the year before actually when Bush stole the election from Gore. To me that marks the start of the decline of the US.
Really though Reagan kicked it all off but the actual collapse started in 2000.
Alternative pitch, your politics were under developed in that era - and a lot of people in the mainstream culture were (through things like TV, an uncritical education system, and a lack of information) able to be politically inactive, and fairly unaware.
Because really you should have been sus on America and all the colonial countries and their parent countries for a long long time now.
The internet supercharged political awareness when for a long time we were willfully ignorant, or it seems that way to me
Sadly, Aotearoa has gone down the populist right-wing path with Luxon and his merry band of cunts
I hope everyone who voted for National at the last election suffers a week of uncontrollable dribbling shits and learn to be better people
I think the U.S. will decline much more quickly. The Orange Guy has been in office for barely more than a year and a half, again—the damage he’s done this time around is pretty much irreparable.
Empire falls predictably, nation pulls a Pikachu face
All empires do.
I sadly think we have another 10 to 15 of this at least, as well.
Sooner we organize and wield our power as a group, the faster it’ll be over, and the safer we will all be. It’s going to hurt either way, at least if we organize we’ll have control over how and with hope of a better future.
The longer we wait though…
I know it’s a meme but I really wish they would quote sources. Now I have to look it up. The burden is on the one making the claim.
EDIT: Ok, I looked it up and it seems like BS. It may be true and would be easy to believe but White House maintenance is not a line item that is broken out. The amount spent is divided into many different buckets appropriated by Congress (probably on purpose) and is difficult if not impossible to determine. The term maintenance would need to be uniformly defined. Does it include secret service infrastructure, for instance? There have been a number of instances that have exceed $2.5M. It also seems pretty clear that Trump’s “maintenance” budget is the highest ever. But Bush and Obama both spent hundreds of millions of dollars to essentially reinforce the aging structure.
You’re welcome.
If you’re going to complain about the lack of sources, you might take the time to do accurate research before calling BS. The source took took me about 3 minutes to find. From the Washington Post:
The Executive Residence, which employs housekeepers, curators, calligraphers and carpenters, has not previously managed major construction efforts, experts said. In recent years, Congress has appropriated $2.5 million annually to its maintenance account, known as “White House Repair and Restoration.”
Since Trump took office, the administration has directed $875 million to that account, public budget records show.
If you’re going to complain about the lack of sources, you might take the time to do accurate research before calling BS.
What? Not how that works. Thanks for ultimately providing a source though.
Thanks for looking it up
but I really wish they would quote sources
This vinyl is really hard to find.
EDIT: I’m sorry. I seem to have accidentally and totally not on purpose posted this image of a rare vinyl in the wrong community.
Just don’t let it happen again, over and over.
Violent revolution is the answer, but it won’t happen.
Neither will a general strike.
Neither will midterm elections.
I am not blaming anyone, we’re all living in survival mode in some way, shape, or form - by design - and things will happen as expected…by design.
A general strike is the only thing that would actually work though
Actually, no.
See, the ultra-wealthy are really rich. More so than they’ve ever been in history.
And a lot of economists, including Nobel laureates, are saying the only way to fix this situation is to redistribute all the wealth at the top.
Anything else may kick the can down the line for a couple of years.
And what is happening in the US is going to happen to all the industrialized nations. (It’s already happened to all the undeveloped nations.)
It’s a data center. The ballroom is just the cover.

There was another option on the ballot which meant this wouldnt have happened.
to escape from and distract from krasnovs dear friend, epstein, and to keep ms maxwell quiet.
All because some stupid, ignorant bigots wanted to “own the libs”
They’ve been conditioned to want to own the libs for a while now, and FOX News has gotten super good at it.
The fear and outrage and open bigotry are the hook that pulls people in. Then the red-pills (the conspiracy theories) invite the viewer to disregard all other news sources that run contrary. They’re being gaslighted the same way an abusive spouse isolates their partner so there is no where else to go. Soon the viewer is in an information silo, just them and FOX News, alone together.
And then every story confirms the MAGA ideology.
I don’t know if there’s a counter for it. Reagan got rid of Fairness doctrine in news media, and our education system long decided that critical thinking skills beget disobedience.
He moves in, and immediately tears up half the place, and now he has to spend his entire term staring out at a big muddy hole. He’s such a redneck, the next thing will be wrestling matches in the front yard.
And the White House has never been in more disrepair and parts of it literally look bombed.
He’s pocketing the whole thing. He’s gluing fake gold onto WhiteHouse fixtures to make it seem like money is being spent but mostly he and his family are just pocketing the majority of it.
Naw, he’s doing this for the next guy. /S
I’m sure voting will change things! /S
If he’s raping America so bad and a criminal than why hasn’t any government agency done anything? Yet the same agencies can pin point a crack head from space and figuratively rape their life to death?
This is happening on purpose.
Oh he’s leaving sooner than later because he’s unhealthy, eats like shit and is really old.
I’m really looking forward to his state funeral.
You guys don’t kill him, so you want him. Goodbye.
