The people who would ever need the pardon have nothing to offer him. There is no winning move working under Trump because he doesn’t owe his minions anything. The people loyal enough to still remain aren’t wise enough to know this.

He honestly might not because he never cared about any of them. It won’t really matter for most as punishment from Democrats is unlikely.

Nah, Secretary of War is the edgelord title fascist shitheads deserve.

Easier to bomb Mexico when they refuse to work with you ☝️

As I’ve long been saying, every active service member who didn’t want to commit crimes against the populus needed to prepare to leave in November. If you only have regrets once shit hits the fan, there will be consequences.

Because there is no law, only a tyrant’s will.

Taylor Swift is effectively a business that rightly believed Trump would be against it’s interest, but all businesses know to bow to the king.

Israel is just too valuable an ally for the empire. Why would America turn against it’s own child: a genocidal liberal democracy displacing brown people?

This does not make her look any better, especially when the deaths as reported by legacy news are undeniable. They literally require cult-like levels of self delusion to think killing thousands of kids and leveling a city isn’t objectionable.

The true cowardice is that they’re doing genocide denial instead of admitting that “the 2 million Gazans isn’t enough.” The only way you think this is acceptable is if you think Israel doesn’t just deserve a homeland, but ethnostate. That the Palestinians are just like the native Americans, “in the way of destiny.”

It’s always a combination of both working to put moderates in tough positions so their usual resistance is too costly.

Yeah deflation sucks, but that’s not what Americans actually want. They don’t want everything to be more than they can afford. They want higher purchasing power for their wages and more disposable income. Being pedantic is missing the point, the real issue has always been the divorce of wages and productivity that occurred thanks to neoliberals.

It’s impressive how deeply I needed to read for them to mention that he was black (not until quoting the NAACP). For shame.

Yeah, they are. The constitution and federal law are basically meaningless. Anyone who could say no to Trump like judges or state governments are being systematically undermined so only Trump has true control. At best, such groups can buy time until they’re absolutely subdued.

The only thing that can theoretically shake MAGA is a failing economy, and even that is easily displaced onto scapegoats. This article is delusional.

The problem is that Time magazine is a rag with no standards. It’s not that hard to double check your sources

The goal is to kill children. The goal is to “cause chaos” so they can capitalize on the fear. It’s not a very smart plan that really makes anyone safer or happier, but it might help a few shitty people have a bit more power over others, so the fascists eat it right up.
