Peaceful protests have been happening every week since he took office. And they’re the only thing that actually have a chance to change any of this.

Either get a rifle and put your money where your mouth is so we can move on without out- and maybe your family survives your stupidity; or join us.

But don’t fucking egg others into downing something you’re too cowardly to do.

I hope you join us, it’s a waste otherwise.

Plenty of south african farmers to import.

you don't have a 100 million martyrs willing to die to try and assassinate some one.

Not even Hitler had that many assassination attempts. All ~42 of which failed.

And by the way, it's not just your martyrs that are going to get fucked if they try it. You get that, right?

If you want to call them "victories", you can, I guess.

Afghanistan, Iraq and Vietnam were all political wars without any clear military objective or purpose. They were basically unwinnable from the US side, and we "lost" because political pressure from the home front grew to the point where it was necessary to end the conflicts.

Even if you disagree with that statement, 1.1 million Viet Cong and N. Vietnamese military personnel died, with another estimated 2 million civilian deaths on both sides of the Vietnamese war. Vietnam's infrastructure was absolutely destroyed.

In the second Iraq war, its estimated at 260k-460k deaths; also with their infrastructure being absolutely destroyed.

the Afghanistan war has similar numbers and similar a similar toll on infrastructure.

For a more accurate depiction of what a second US civil war would look like I suggest looking at The Troubles in Ireland. Only it's going to be a lot more people killing their neighbors across a country with 360 million people. it will be a bloodbath, it will be awful, and it's going to be ended by the military bombing the everliving fuck out of whatever is still moving at the end.

stop glorifying violence. It's not going to end the way you think it will.

and to what end?

No seriously.

You actually believe trump is the one calling the shots? he's a fucking patsy. do you have any idea how many patsies they currently have lined up? how many martyrs do you have ready to go?

oh. he was a total asshole. But even he respected the need for representation and to constrain the elites from doing shit. At least, he was later on. (See Discourse on Livy)

I'm just saying, assholes like trump being all Machiavellian seem to forget the whole "we know how behead" aspect of being an assholish monarch.

Is there even a legitimate reason to have plainclothes security to arrest people inside the LA FBI headquarters? Surely they have plenty of uniformed officers onsite.

Machiavelli had some useful points.

like the whole, "if you rule through fear to keep people in line, they'll take your head off the moment you're weak" observation.

I kinda wish it would happen to the president….

You know.

Like.

Impeach… convict… arrest…

Pretty sure he’s just Q.

I'm not sure if the sheep's face is one of "halp!" or "something wrong, human?"

 

I'm impressed, I can't even eat an entire costco cake....

Finally got him! (lemmy.world)

I’ve been getting trolled most the year by a GHO- they’d set up above my window and hoot until I went outside to try and get a picture.

Eventually set up a webcam… jerk used it for a perch (and flew in and off from behind… all it saw were its talons…)

Whelp. It’s grainy. But I finally got ‘em.

(Very) Early Christmas Day. There was at least four others calling out, maybe 5-6, some were distant, so they were too bothered to hide from me.

 
 
 

Granted, I was going to slap it onto one of my parent’s shiny kitchen appliances and make jokes about it being a mistake to let them have WiFi…. But still…..
