Former Trump administration official and wife of top Trump aide Stephen Miller, Katie Miller, posted Saturday on X (formerly Twitter) an image of Greenland covered in the U.S. flag with the text “SOON”.

    Can you imagine how much more useful to readers this publication could be if they wrote plainly true headlines instead of couching what happened behind click-bait bullshit?

    “Stephen Miller’s Wife Threatens Greenland with a Meme on Social Media”

    Look, now a reader would know what actually happened.

      Its risky, but …OK. I’ll tell Schumer to release the next memo. VERY strong language in this one. There will also be a walk out and a minute of silence, in both the Senate and the House (probably).

        Like some Establishment Democrats are secretly bootlicking Trump, and plus he claimed to have made antifascism a “crime” which violates the First Amendment (which allows for the freedoms of speech, of the press, of religion, of expression, to assemble peacefully and to redress grievances to the government and such). Seriously!

      Many of us have been trying to get people to organize online to do that in real time communities on say Matrix and Stoat to inform, collaborate, strengthen each other, etc but people need to stop scrolling, and do.

      The whole country as a matter of fact.

      How do we get through to people who want to be entertained?

    If attacking Venezuela doesn’t stop people from talking about the Pedo Files (aka Trump/Epstein files), then the orange cancer will go for something even bigger-- attacking Greenland.

      Well, in America, war crimes usually make you a profit and get excused/vetod/protected by the govt. So there’s that reason.

      It’s not like Americans are going to hold any of these people accountable. They’ve already failed to do so after Trump’s first term.

        I think similar circumstances (at least in terms of frustration with there seeming to be no justice for the corruption and crimes they committed while in power) was what eventually drove people to join the revolution against Ceausescu.

        I always felt it was kind of a barbaric way to handle the situation, but in hindsight, perhaps I was being too hasty to judge.

        Who’s to say what will happen in the U.S. I would like to believe democracy will prevail and maybe if the right people come to power, the people in this administration will actually be held accountable through traditional means. That’s the most optimistic scenario but also probably least likely to happen.

        There’s a good chance the government just crumbles completely, especially with the Trump administration trying to destroy what remains of the rule of law both internationally and domestically. On the one hand it seems like that is their game plan, but on the other there are several ways it could backfire on them, even without some kind of external uprising against them. Once they lose any expectation of legal protection, we could also end up with some faction within the administration turning against the others in order to take control. Who the fuck knows. Wild card.

          Yes, anything can happen, in theory. In practice, and based on what we’ve seen historically in the US as of late, no one will be held accountable. America is ok with Fascism, and they’re OK with war crimes, especially against foreign nations. They’re generally proud to be bullies and to be asserting dominance with their elected thug.

          These aren’t slanderous accusations or anything, it’s just the blunt assessment from a foreigner, given what’s going on. There’s a subset of Americans who go on social media and lament their country’s actions, and those people tend to get either offended, or depressed/resigned, when you highlight America voted for, and are enthusiastic about, their fascist dictatorship. But that minority outlier does not change that Americans en masse still support their government, even when their government has become a pretty clear fascist dictatorship to the rest of the world. Most of the country is cheering on war crimes and crimes against humanity. It comes across fairly explicitly as such through multiple media sources, from multiple countries etc.

          Publicly, the rest of the world leaders are cagey about comments on Americas recent turn, because they’re all worried that America will attack them next. That’s not how your relationship with ‘allies’ should be, and many are moving to shore up militaries and cut ties with America as part of this shift. That sort of thing won’t change, even if America manages to have another election and a more ‘normal’ democrat wins that time around – because the world knows full well that America could flip flop the next time, back to even more hardcore fascist leanings.

    In trumps world: America is for the Americans,
    Europe is for Russia, and Asia is for Indians and Chinese to figure out on their own.

    And apparently if trump wants something he will do it, and he’s building further on everything he already started in his first term, maduro, greenland. So greenland will deffo become american sometime soon I bet… Europe can’t do shi with this small army, against the american army, its one minute before 12.

        This isn’t the American people. It’s the will of thousands of the world’s most powerful multinational oligarchs — billionaires and old money millionaire elites (plus all their class-traitor lapdogs and puppets) — who are actively corrupting ALL politics and public discourse; waging class warfare, globally.

        Murdoch is one of the most well-known examples, but I’m sure there are hundreds (if not thousands) of fossil fuel and military contractor investors or board members — you’ve never heard of — who are criminally corrupt psychopaths that deserve to be in the dirt.

        These people’s only allegiance is to the almighty dollar. They have no real virtue, morals, or ethics.

                Always were. You know that bullshit they always spewed about “small government”? What they meant was NO government, because then the power is wielded by money and physical strength, i e fascism, just like they want it.

                They don’t believe in democracy because they believe they must and shall rule regardless of whatever anybody else wants.

                Because of the electoral college, getting out to vote when you otherwise wouldn’t have is almost entirely useless in most states as the party most states will side with is basically a forgone conclusion.

                On top of that, the Republican party has spent decades making it deliberately difficult to vote by limiting the number of polling places, as well as limiting mail in voting.

                The Democratic party on the other hand refuses to attempt radical economic upheaval that poorer US citizens desperately need because Democrats are still the “moderate” party that is in the pocket of billionaires.

                The Republicans routinely promise radical actions that they say will make things better for everyone. They’re lying of course, but it’s hard to be exceptionally poor, have no access to health care and vote for the party that is not advocating radical actions on your behalf.

                  It’s 1 day every 4 years (2 including midterms). Even if the nearest polling place is 1 hour drive away. Even if your vote won’t be the deciding vote. In my country it takes less than 10 minutes to vote, but lets say it is 2 hours in the USA. That is a total of 4 hours.

                  If 1/3 of US-Americans are not willing to “lose” 4 hours every 4 years. And 1/3 of USAmericans directly vote for fascism. Then a majority of USAmericans are ok with fascism.

                If they live in an area where their representatives do not vote for these policies, what are they supposed to do? Are they supposed to burn down local government buildings, when everyone in that local government opposes Trump as well? They’ve also already tried peaceful protests. Trump doesn’t care about that.

            Sure, but a lot of people also don’t want to get vaporized by a dot in the sky. Pretty much impossible to shoot a reaper drone down with small arms.

            The only way out is through a general strike (unlikely to happen because the billionaire class has intentionally made everyone too poor, so citizens cannot last very long without pay) or through other countries dumping US bonds.
