Fellas, fellas, we can do both. We can wish for him to instantly fall into a coma in which he cannot wake up from. Where all he feels is pain, and agony suffering to survive himself, inside his own brain. Where the only way out to end the torture is for him to push his ego aside, and admit that he's never been the smartest person in any room.
Until that happens, he stays artificially life supported in his own coma of hell. Where time fluctuates for him 5 minutes is actually 5 months. And he'll stay in that state for years.
Suddenly and instantly gone from our lives, but surviving in a never ending battle against his own ego which he'll never overcome.
I don't think the very best thing we can imagine is gonna happen, but you know what does seem more realistic for that reason?
A dystopian horror where they keep him (barely) alive while he's suffering immensely because they need him as figurehead, in order to continue their fascism. Yes it would be poetic justice for him, but it's not gonna make anybody else's life better.
I think I've heard of that, if it's what I'm remembering.
There was this kid in tge 1960s. He got hit by a car, but didn't die. He wasn't in a coma, but it looked like he was in a coma but awake.
He was kept on life support, but really the life support wasn't needed. They found he was actually breathing just fine. But they kept him on it, in his living room.
He was just a kid. Like 7 years old.
Flash forward to the late 90s and he, now nearly 40 was propped up on the couch like normal. His mom was watching wheel of fortune. Then his mom just hears her son take a guess at the puzzle. Not only was it the right answer, but it was the first words he had spoken in like 35 years.
Turns out his mom would watch wheel of fortune, and jeapordy every night. And every night in his own head he would play along.
The story never explains how he snapped out of it. He just took a guess at the wheel of fortune answer just as he'd done for years. This time it was verbal.
The son later on asked his mom if she remembered a moment that had happened in the 70s. His mom walked into the room, saw him, and said "Why won't you just die already? You're tearing this family apart. We can't keep funding your burden...."
And then she left the room. Never to speak of it again.
That moment lived rent free in this guys head for 20+ years. Everyday knowing he's hurting his family. Everyday being a burden. From his own mothers mouth. He's their burden. That's the thought he had every day.
And when he asked his mom if she remembered that, she burst into tears. She didn't remember at all.
So now it's the 90s. He's speaking for the first time. His friend who he knew before the accident, left work early. Didn't even tell anyone he was leaving. He got a text. "John is speaking". He was in John's living room within 15 minutes.
This friend had visited him sometimes every day. Sometimes a few times a week. But always with him. And because he had come over, everyday his friend for 30+ years had talked to him as if he were normal. So he learned of his friend's life in real time. And from Johns point of view, he didn't even need to catch up, because he was never out of the loop.
One of the first things he wanted to do was to meet his friends wife. He had been married for 10 years, but she never felt comfortable visiting. But his friend would talk about her so much that he felt like he knew her already.
I changed the names. Mostly because I read this story about 15 years ago and don't remember the names. I'm probably forgetting other details too. It just stuck out to me that his mom, probably in a moment of frustration that she didn't mean, gave him such mental trauma with just a few sentences that would last a lifetime. And also it stuck out to me how a 7 year old kept his friend in his life, until almost 40 years old without one word spoken from John.
Trump dying will not stop this. He’s a carnival barker and is not really in charge.
I really hope his death is very slow, very painful, and very public. I want him to drag his cursed movement down with him. If he abruptly dies, he’ll be a martyr that bolsters this movement, and that would be worse.
Trump dying will not stop this. He’s a carnival barker and is not really in charge.
But he's the one they're all unifying behind.
Once he's gone, everybody else is going to be clamoring to become the next Trump, the next leader of the right wing. And this competition will divide them and turn them against one another. No more cooperation, no more covering for each other's crimes -- they'll be at each other's throats, throwing each other under the bus.
Eventually one will probably come out on top, but until then, the infighting over the power vacuum will cripple them.
Trump's perverted brand of charisma is what propelled him to the two-time presidency. It was glaringly obvious in 2017, when the rest of Republicans started competing in who can best emulate his assholery.
The way he looks like and handles himself it seems he is in the process of experiencing a slow, painful death, but he's probably too high on painkillers and other drugs to really care.
I hope he gets something that makes him shit himself all the time, that he gets an embarrassing level of dementia, that it shows Republicans how shit they are, and he's rated as one of the worst presidents to ever live.
⬜ something that makes him shit himself all the time
⬜ an embarrassing level of dementia
⬜ that it shows Republicans how shit they are
✅ he's rated as one of the worst presidents to ever live
What if he has a stroke and loses much of his voluntary muscle function, rendering him unable to walk, talk, or use his hands, but he's completely present cognitively so knows he's trapped in a broken, doomed body and has to see and feel the Haitian immigrants wiping his ass every day at the home his children put him in
Lma fucking o. Just because he may not remember the last 5 or 10 or even 25 years, the man has a lifetime of hate of prejudice following him. For example, the first building he ever controlled refused to rent to black people.
If a 6 year-old murdered 10 people, would you wish wt:thon a very slow and painful death? What if a dog killed 10 people? No in either case? Then what if it was proven that Trump, either now, or in the future, is/was [future tense] alive but had the mentality of a 6 year-old or a dog?
How many blacks (and others) were unjustly, or mostly unjustly, incarcerated in federal prisons early January 2017 that Obama could have pardoned, but didn't?
I'm ignoring all your points because he's been a grown man for over double what I've been alive and is a huge hateful piece of shit. I literally don't care about anything you typed tbh
Sociopath. Even if you hate the guy, if you’re a public figure like trump, the least you can do is muster a bit of empathy.
But he can’t, because he can’t even fathom the concept of empathy. It’s completely foreign to him.
Electing sociopaths is how you get war and genocide, as we’ve known for millennia. And we’ve given a total sociopath the levers of genocide, both abroad and at home.
Not that I think he had much in the way of empathy prior to this, but he lacks a filter of any kind which is a symptom I had to repeatedly apologize for when my grandfather's dementia got worse.
The dude has full on dementia, no one is doing anything and he will continue to degrade both himself and the reputation of anything associated with him as this keeps going.
Funnily enough, dipshit donny might be the best publically perceivable evidence of the need for reform we will ever get.
Plenty of countries have laws that fine or otherwise punish people that do not vote, afaik this doesn't tend to lead to better functioning democracies. I think this is a thing where the carrot works better than the stick.
What if A gets 26% of the vote, B gets 25%, C gets 24%, D gets 15%, and E gets 10%?
The standard method of ranked choice voting: E gets eliminated as they have the least, everyone who voted for them goes to their next ranked choice. Repeat until one person has over 50%.
Please forgive any ignorance on my part, but would it be required that we'd know what the 2nd (and 3rd and 4th and so on) preferences of those who voted for E in the first choice?
If so, and if such could be done, what if of those who voted for E on their first choice, in their second preference, half of them (i.e. half of 10% being 5%) voted for C, a third of them voted for B, and a sixth of them voted for A;
meanwhile two-thirds of those who voted in their first preference for A, half of those who voted in their first preference for B, and a third of those who voted in their first preference for C, voted for D in their 2nd preference?
—i.e. (⅔ x 26%) + (½ x 25%) + (⅓ x 24%) = 16⅔% + 12½% + 8% = 36⅚%.
Please forgive any ignorance on my part, but would it be required that we'd know what the 2nd (and 3rd and 4th and so on) preferences of those who voted for E in the first choice?
Yes. Please look up "How ranked choice voting works" instead of asking randos on social media to explain it to you. The information is readily available.
Ranked voting is any voting system that uses voters' rankings of candidates to choose a single winner or multiple winners. More formally, a ranked vote system depends only on voters' order of preference of the candidates.
Ranked voting systems vary dramatically in how preferences are tabulated and counted. This gives them different properties with respect to satisfying various voting groups and adherence to mathematical rules.
...
Some ranked vote systems do not use ranking to transfer votes but instead use ranks as weights. These systems are called positional voting. In the Borda method, the least-favored candidates on each ballot receive fewer points; the most-favored receive more points. The points on each ballot for each candidate are added together, and the candidate with the most points is elected.
But why did Bamboot get 4 of Gort's votes while Aggy-Waggy got only 1, even though the latter got over half the number of the former?
Shouldn't it be 3+2+1 instead of 4+1+1?
and why in the 3rd count did Floundra get 16 of Aggy-Waggy votes, while Bamboot got only 5 or less than 1/3rd?
Presumably in a run-off, it would be Bamboot versus Floundra;
while in proportional representation, the Complete Scumbag Party, Discreet Scumbag Party, the [Gort Butterson Party], and the Nice Party, in a parliament of 100 might get 39, 35, 6, and 20 seats respectively, with probably the Nice Party being in a coalition.
Even if it was 1/2 PR and 1/2 FPP, each system electing 100 candidates (hence a parliament of 200), and in the FPP vote, the Complete Scumbag Party won 51 of the FFP seats, the Discreet Scumbad Party won 38 seats (i.e. less than 75% of the former's number of seats, or conversely the former got over less than 35% the latter's number of seats), the Nice Party won only 8 (2/5ths of what they won in the PR count) seats, and Gort won 3 seats it would still be:
name
PR
FPP

Complete Scumbag Party

Discreet Scumbag Party

36.5
[Gort Butterson Party]

We could have 3 possible coalitions:

most powerful but least probable
Complete Scumbag Party & Nice Party
most probable
Discreet Scumbag Party & Gort Butterson Party & Nice Party
I'd like to believe but do you really see a future where old (white) dudes in power will vote in favor of a reform where old dudes arent allowed to be in power because they are "supposedly" unfit for it?
Yeah that wont be happening any time soon in my opinion.
They could vote for the legislation, maybe push for an amendment, that doesn't kick in for about 10 years.
e.g. starting 1 January 2036, no person can be a member of Congress who has been in office for 10 or more years, consecutively or non-consecutively. This does not apply to any person who was a Congressperson at the time that this amendment was ratified; and years served before 1 January 2030 will not count.
and/or,
e.g. notwithstanding the aforementioned, starting 1 January 2060, no person can be a member of Congress who has been a member of Congress for 10 or more years, consecutively or non-consecutively.
nonetheless, my example indicates that positive change is still possible, not soon but neither too long, even by such incumbents.
If they did this 20 years ago, and my suggested dates were 20 years earlier, wp:Chip Roy couldn't run in 2030, wp:Matt Gaetz couldn't run in 2028, and wp:Mike Johnson could not run this November.
Also does not make them to blame for Trump above all the people who voted for Trump, and all the politicians actively supporting him and not reigning him in.
You didn't brought trump raping kids in the comment I reply to. You don't seem like a good faith user. Israel rape children with usa diplomatic cover. Trump is also complicit with genocide so yeah i hope both trump and biden suffer
Anyone that has an ounce of respect for him based on what he has done throughout his life and the harm he has caused on untold millions of people deserves no respect either.
It's not about respect for his actions, of course they're terrible, it's about respect for a human being suffering. There is no real point to wish suffering on anyone, other's suffering never helped anything except satisfy one's vengeful fantasies/sadism. If someone is hurting others, you make them stop hurting others, but you still give them basic human respect, i.e. don't make them suffer needlessly etc
Yes, I do have empathy for sick old humans. I wish Trump was safe in a nursing home or wherever, wouldn't feel the need for constant validation and would feel loved. He's quite obviously got massive internal struggles that make him do terrible things to feel less terrible himself, if he was doing better, I'm sure he wouldn't do any of the things he's doing and likely wouldn't be president or similar.
People that are able to say stuff like this are exactly why we have the situation we're having. If you can turn off your empathy for the "bad guys", all it takes is just misidentifying the "bad guys" once, either by mistake or on purpose or by being manipulated.
Even serial killers or mass murders deserve some basic respect. You got to deal with them appropriately so they can't be a threat anymore, but once that's done, the respect should be the same as for anyone else.
e: for example, failure to even acknowledge is a deeper social slight, and one that stays through time, not something cheap and transient. But that requires a bit of sophistication.
That's actually not how respect works at all, what your thinking of is adoration. Respect is lost, if you don't start with a baseline of respect for everyone, you don't respect anyone.
What instead if he's impeached soon after November, lives to be 100, while either running in the 2028, 2032, 2036, 2040, and 2044 GOP primaries and/or having a proxy/proxies such as Ivanka, Jared, Don Jr, Eric, Rudy, Whisky Pete, and/or even Vance run in such?
This felon rapist is so insulated from reality that I honestly don't believe he realizes that the nation (world?) is going to make a fucking holiday out of his passing.
I'm not much of a conspiracy theorist, but I suspect that the Democrats intentionally pressured to delay those prosecutions with the following idea, "If we wait until the last minute, then these prosecutions of crimes, which we 100% know Trump is guilty of, will torpedo Trump's presidential chances, and the Republicans won't have any time to boost a different candidate."
I think they didn't expect that the most slam-dunk case, the classified files case, would be pulled by one of the most outlandishly corrupt pro-Trump judges we've ever seen, Aileen Cannon.
I sincerely disagree with this. I think Merrick Garland genuinely viewed his role and himself as "separate" from or "above" politics and totally disregarded the threat Trump because of that. This is honestly more in line with previous DOJs as far as political impartiality, however he was not what we needed in that moment.
Either that, or they thought letting Trump run again would make their candidate a shoe in, so they wouldn't have to try at all and could run a "Status Quo, everything is fine so nothing is going to change" candidate.
Either way they put their own desires for power above law and order.
From an outsider, the US has always looked like the lapdog tbh. Not that I disagree that Biden (and every other president before and after him) should have been telling Israel to fuck off.
I mean...
is way bigger, way richer, and way more powerful than , all by a country mile. And can't survive economically or strategically without aid.
Like I do get where your view comes from, especially with Trump basically giving Netanyahu whatever he wants and Biden having done the same thing except for going to war with Iran.
Actually, even if the dominance relationship was reversed, i.e. even if did control , this would not change the fact that
sent aid and weapons to
all throughout the Gaza genocide. So while I do think it is important to clarify the dominance hierarchy between
and
for other reasons (e.g. in pursuit of a coherent analysis of
as a vassal state of
, although sometimes a belligerent vassal), here we can agree to disagree about the direction of the dominance relation and mutually conclude based on the facts that
, and in particular its figureheads Trump and Biden, are demonic genocidal entities which are deeply responsible for the Gaza genocide.
I mean usually I don't use the emojis that much, but I had to use the words AmeriKKKa ()
and Pi$$rael () a few times, and I just find and replace every instance with its burning flag. I refuse to give these settler-colonial projects even the minimal dignity of spelling their names correctly.
If Netanyahu just says nope to Trump's peace plan, why would he say yes to Biden's?
And Reagan didn't achieve shit - Israel carried on building in the occupied territories regardless, and they only abandoned their war in Lebanon because it was going badly. Reagan did telephone the Israeli prime minister but the Israeli cabinet had already voted to stop the campaign that day, but of course Reagan wanted to take credit for that and announced how stern he was on the phone and the American news outlets of course delighted in fluff pieces praising the president for stopping the war. But that's all it was. Fluff.
So, no, your "American president can stop Israeli wars with one phone call" is BS,
You don't think Israel has a teensy bit put by for a rainy day? I do. You don't think Israel has a domestic arms industry? I think they export a great deal. You don't think there are other suppliers than the USA willing to sell arms to an aggressor? I do. You don't think electing trump is the worst thing America could have done for the people of Gaza? I do.
As much as I personally would have liked it, I cannot support making the justice department nakedly partisan/political. It's horrifying that trump has tried to do so and I'm relieved the guardrails are still (basically) holding.
It's hard to be the good side. Like how the movie villain gets to throw babies for the hero to rescue (God, Hard Boiled is so good) but we don't win by becoming the bad guys ourselves.
Failing to prosecute a known criminal out of a fear of appearing nakedly partisan/political is, as it turns out, as bad as corrupting the justice dept to make it nakedly partisan/political.
Biden should have had an AG who went after criminals regardless of the political consequences.
Firing the AG for not prosecuting the cases you want prosecuted, IS nakedly political.
The DOJ's independence is one of the strongest guardrails protecting American democracy and why so many decent people have resigned rather than submit.
Look at trials in Russia (about which there are some amazing albeit depressing documentaries) to see where a coopted justice department ends up.
Incorrect. The Judicial branch has stopped Trump repeatedly. Furthermore, I was talking about the DoJ's failure regarding the whole speedy trail thing we are supposed to have in this country. You can stop putting words in my mouth. We don't need your strawman arguments here.
FYI, the Executive Branch & Judicial branch are separate.
The current DoJ has attempted every single illegal thing Trump has requested.
Please learn how the separation of powers works in the USA.
Did you mean to respond to someone else? What words were put in your mouth?
And you might note the thousands who have resigned from the DOJ, leaving mostly incompetent goofs behind who cannot secure convictions. (Because, yup, they respected the DoJ's independence. In other words, one of those guardrails working.)
After all the MAGA shock at the unsympathetic Democratic response to Charlie Kirk's death, MAGA will be far more savage to Biden when he dies. They expect respect for their traitors/pedophiles, but they won't give it to those who have actually helped America, and not just a exploit it.
Wait til they see the celebration in the streets when Trump kicks the bucket. If they think Kirk's (well deserved) death reaction was heartless, I have some news for them.
I genuinely think he just doesn't have that part of his brain. He has people that he temporarily stops fucking over and tries to charm-bomb while they're useful to him (who he then throws under the bus again once he doesn't need them anymore) but that seems to be about as close as he can get.
I think that's the same reason why he's never had a pet - if you take things like companionship and love out of the equation, a pet is just something that consumes resources without giving anything material back. I wouldn't be surprised if he just sees them as pointless.
I see lots of non-Americans telling Americans to "do something!" every single day here in the fediverse.
Americans might have "vile and violent fantasies" but they're far from the only ones and I'd wager if you talked to a neighbor or two you might find some of them have similar fantasies.
Nope, don't see it in my environment.
It's a sick US attitude.
A society drenched in violence and fantasies.
Their sad little cope for their impotence and complete lack of reaction against their regime's behavior.
In their infantile minds they believe they are the great revolutionaries and warriors ready to battle injustice.
my empathy is broken for men in power that see the dangers and still refuse to take action out of fear of damaging their legacy.
even if that wasn't the case and he didn't prosecute Trump for the obvious crimes he's committed and it was more of a choice to ensure the country stayed "united", I don't think it was worth it.
I'd rather be cut by a sharp blade quickly than a dull blade slowly.
Like other related acts described by Ctesias, the use of this method is historically doubted.[2]
What if the bees just lick the honey off his face, he possibly dies due to being extra sensitive to be stings, and/or he dies of dehydration in 10 days?—less as he's an old man.

Has a stroke and his staff stand around while he dies on the floor a la Stalin.
He’s an idiot, incredibly stupid, profoundly ignorant, intellectually dishonest, narcissistic, deeply self-centered, completely lacking in empathy, a bully, cruel, vindictive, petty, spiteful, arrogant, vulgar, selfish, boorish, reckless, and deeply unpleasant, and he behaves like a spoiled child with an astonishing lack of self-awareness.
They admire things that we used to see as negatives. They are proudly stupid, they celebrate their lack of education, love of conspiracies and their casual cruelty. They are blind to their own hypocrisy and love to wave the flag but reject almost anything that benefits society at even a trivial cost to themselves.
He doesn't. He's not even remotely nice to her, she's always in the background but never up front. If you went just on body language alone you would conclude that they have no relationship at all and he doesn't even know she exists.
wow this guy is a sore loser isn't he. Even after he won again he can't get over the butt hurt of the previous election. Same goes with Obama, keeps making fake AI videos of him because he got a nobel prize. Or Sadik Khan, keeps shit talking about him because he called him a dictator (or similiar) once over a decade ago. Fucking hell this guy has the emotional intelligence of a 5 year old.
Maybe I'm missing something. I'll celebrate when he croaks too. I'm just saying people don't reap what they sow. If they did trump would have never been president.
He won an election that you and your friends tried to rig and lied about, so you attempted a coup and lied about, then lied about the election, and then lied about lying.
If you didn't have your finger on the button, everyone would want you to talk shit about them because that would mean they did something right or cool at least once.
I dont think he feels anything much except greed and anger when someone else wins. :)
He is the most primitive human being I've ever seen. So it's fascinating to watch someone so ridiculous get elected as president!
That suite and that title doesn't change who he is at all.
But honestly, I also don't feel so much for Biden. I dont know him. But he seemed like a guy who tried to do the right thing, so morally he is a good guy.
Yeah at least from a exterior point of view it doesn't look like he did much for the US but the also didn't screw it over in the way Trump is so I guess he's fine. The west hasn't really had a competent president in a while now that's partially because they just have terrible candidates and partially because the political system in the US is not really geared towards change.
Rump is such an inspirational leader. I'm sure he is an incredible role model for American children 🙄. Not one ounce of class or professionalism. Just a sad excuse for a human being , let alone a leader.
LOL.. right. Definitely wouldn't hurt the hair on a Palestinian child's head either. FUCK Biden and Trump. They both have the worst cancer imaginable, Bibicuckalitis.
Stop sharing and interacting with this thing! I know I’m guilty here, but I’m trying to bring awareness to sharing everything this piece of shit spews. #StopsharingDonaldTrump
He is literally the President of . He literally controls the US military. If we wants your attention, he can literally force it from you. Ignoring him is not gonna make him go away.
However I guess it can be frustrating to hear about others having all the sympathy in the world for him having cancer, even if you didn't particularly like him, versus no one giving a crap about him literally dying on camera while being "younger" than Biden.
Death will be too kind for both of them . Same for , , , Bush, and all the other swine who have directed the trajectory of the demonic settler-colonial
project.
Do you know 9 million people starve to death every year under capitalism?
Do you know how much famines happened in China before mao?
Do you know under Mao China's population doubled?
Do you know under Mao China's literacy rates, housing rates, healthcare improved massively?
Do you know under Mao China ended the century of humiliation and liquidated all landlords who were exploiting peasants?
Yeah taiwan got better
By supporting israel
By supporting apartheid africa
By g'ciding natives of taiwan
By hosting american military and being american imperial tool to control south china sea
In 1821, Sequoyah completed his Cherokee syllabary, enabling reading and writing in the Cherokee language. One of the first North American Indigenous groups to gain a written language, the Cherokee Nation officially adopted the syllabary in 1825,[2] helping to unify a forcibly divided nation with new ways of communication and a sense of independence.[3] Within a quarter-century, the Cherokee Nation had reached a literacy rate of almost 100%, surpassing that of surrounding European-American settlers.[4]
I'll have to check out the housing and health, but other countries might also have improved such without things such as the so-called "Cultural revolution."
Do you know under Mao China ended the century of humiliation and liquidated all landlords who were exploiting peasants?
I wonder where China would be without Sun Yat-sen or even Chiang.
(Where would Lenin be without Kerensky? Where would Stalin be without either of them?)
Perhaps Mao could have done it without the millions of deaths.
Yeah taiwan got better
By supporting israel
The USSR was the first country to recognize Israel.
The Nationalist government of the ROC had been historically sympathetic to the Zionist cause, while ROC founder Sun Yat-sen affirmed his support for the creation of a Jewish state.[17][18]
...
according to the lede:
In 1950, Israel became the first country in the Middle East to recognize the PRC as the sole government in mainland China,[3] but the CCP did not reciprocate by establishing diplomatic ties due to Israel's alignment with the Western Bloc during the Cold War.
It seems that things are a bit nuanced here.
By supporting apartheid africa
IIUC, a pariah state and one with little diplomatic relations, helped each other, including working on nuclear weapons.
While I'm sure many in the far left would be indifferent to the PRC taking Taiwan, perhaps supportive of it, Taiwan itself would rather maintain independence, if only a de facto independence.
Meanwhile, many of us seem to be okay with gender apartheid in many Muslim-majority countries.
From the 1950s to the 1970s, the Chinese government sponsored a mass migration of Han Chinese to Xinjiang and introduced policies designed to suppress cultural identity and religion in the region.[52] During this period, Uyghur independence organizations emerged with some support from the Soviet Union, with the East Turkestan People's Party being the largest in 1968.[53] During the 1970s, the Soviets supported the United Revolutionary Front of East Turkestan (URFET) against the Han Chinese.[54]
Hmmmm, interesting.
Also, it seems some Muslimphobes in right-wing circles in the West support what China is doing with its Muslims.
By hosting american military and being american imperial tool to control south china sea
The US somewhat abandoned Taiwan in the early 1970s to exploit the Sino-Soviet split.
It seems some of the PRCs neighbours—India, Vietnam, Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan—are heavily armed.
btw:
one of my favorite scenes in the 1976 movie Network:
I mean if you want to make obnoxious messages that invoke images of Facebook Karens that think clapping to emphasize words helps their point (to the point they add clapping emojis to text... Holy fuck I can't emphasize enough how 👏 utterly 👏 braindead 👏 that clapping looks to me), this tree emoji looks kinda like a bush, at least on my device: 🌳
"BOTH" ... meaning Biden AND Trump. You literally just had to scroll past the Genocide Joe picture. I didn't give an emoji because I thought it would be silly to name him twice.
The fuck you mean Trump's not on my list of problems? Fuck all the Presidents of this evil-ass country, obviously Trump included. Anarchists were explicitly mentioned in his executive order designating Antifa as a terrorist organization. He wants to deport me and my family for a variety of intersectional bigotries. And Trump has been just as monstrous as Biden with his continuation of the Gaza genocide, and Trump was enough of a moron to attack Iran on behalf of Israel.
Of course I fucking hate Trump! There, I fucking said it with the level of emphasis that you requested.
Now, kindly examine why you found an image indicting
for his role in the Gaza genocide, which I remind you began under Brandon's term with support, so offensive that you couldn't even finish reading the comment. I am charitably assuming that you are not doing apologia for the former Zionist-in-chief on purpose; don't prove me wrong.
I read your comment, you named Biden * very assertively and maybe implied trump.
I wasn't defending Biden, and if that's what you got from that, you're stuck in a hole.
I do agree tho, fuck them all. Ain't none of them in for the people, and haven't been in literal decades, if not longer. Fuck Biden, Trump, Obama, Bush Jr, Clinton, Reagan, Ford, Nixon, etc...
I read your comment, you named Biden * very assertively and maybe implied trump.
I mean I thought it was clear from context? Like the post headline was about Trump talking smack about Biden, so I thought "both of them" clearly bound to both Biden and Trump? But also I do see where you're coming from. I guess I'll try to make sure future comments are clearer in that regard.
It's all good, I saw the Brandon/Biden thing and it must have triggered a bias i have where I see people using Maga slogans and immediately think they are just defending Trump. Sorry about that

Fellas, fellas, we can do both. We can wish for him to instantly fall into a coma in which he cannot wake up from. Where all he feels is pain, and agony suffering to survive himself, inside his own brain. Where the only way out to end the torture is for him to push his ego aside, and admit that he's never been the smartest person in any room.
Until that happens, he stays artificially life supported in his own coma of hell. Where time fluctuates for him 5 minutes is actually 5 months. And he'll stay in that state for years.
Suddenly and instantly gone from our lives, but surviving in a never ending battle against his own ego which he'll never overcome.

I don't think the very best thing we can imagine is gonna happen, but you know what does seem more realistic for that reason?
A dystopian horror where they keep him (barely) alive while he's suffering immensely because they need him as figurehead, in order to continue their fascism. Yes it would be poetic justice for him, but it's not gonna make anybody else's life better.

I think I've heard of that, if it's what I'm remembering.
There was this kid in tge 1960s. He got hit by a car, but didn't die. He wasn't in a coma, but it looked like he was in a coma but awake.
He was kept on life support, but really the life support wasn't needed. They found he was actually breathing just fine. But they kept him on it, in his living room.
He was just a kid. Like 7 years old.
Flash forward to the late 90s and he, now nearly 40 was propped up on the couch like normal. His mom was watching wheel of fortune. Then his mom just hears her son take a guess at the puzzle. Not only was it the right answer, but it was the first words he had spoken in like 35 years.
Turns out his mom would watch wheel of fortune, and jeapordy every night. And every night in his own head he would play along.
The story never explains how he snapped out of it. He just took a guess at the wheel of fortune answer just as he'd done for years. This time it was verbal.
The son later on asked his mom if she remembered a moment that had happened in the 70s. His mom walked into the room, saw him, and said "Why won't you just die already? You're tearing this family apart. We can't keep funding your burden...."
And then she left the room. Never to speak of it again.
That moment lived rent free in this guys head for 20+ years. Everyday knowing he's hurting his family. Everyday being a burden. From his own mothers mouth. He's their burden. That's the thought he had every day.
And when he asked his mom if she remembered that, she burst into tears. She didn't remember at all.
So now it's the 90s. He's speaking for the first time. His friend who he knew before the accident, left work early. Didn't even tell anyone he was leaving. He got a text. "John is speaking". He was in John's living room within 15 minutes.
This friend had visited him sometimes every day. Sometimes a few times a week. But always with him. And because he had come over, everyday his friend for 30+ years had talked to him as if he were normal. So he learned of his friend's life in real time. And from Johns point of view, he didn't even need to catch up, because he was never out of the loop.
One of the first things he wanted to do was to meet his friends wife. He had been married for 10 years, but she never felt comfortable visiting. But his friend would talk about her so much that he felt like he knew her already.
I changed the names. Mostly because I read this story about 15 years ago and don't remember the names. I'm probably forgetting other details too. It just stuck out to me that his mom, probably in a moment of frustration that she didn't mean, gave him such mental trauma with just a few sentences that would last a lifetime. And also it stuck out to me how a 7 year old kept his friend in his life, until almost 40 years old without one word spoken from John.

Trump dying will not stop this. He’s a carnival barker and is not really in charge.
I really hope his death is very slow, very painful, and very public. I want him to drag his cursed movement down with him. If he abruptly dies, he’ll be a martyr that bolsters this movement, and that would be worse.
OwOarchist@pawb.social · 8 pts · 29d
But he's the one they're all unifying behind.
Once he's gone, everybody else is going to be clamoring to become the next Trump, the next leader of the right wing. And this competition will divide them and turn them against one another. No more cooperation, no more covering for each other's crimes -- they'll be at each other's throats, throwing each other under the bus.
Eventually one will probably come out on top, but until then, the infighting over the power vacuum will cripple them.

Sociopath. Even if you hate the guy, if you’re a public figure like trump, the least you can do is muster a bit of empathy.
But he can’t, because he can’t even fathom the concept of empathy. It’s completely foreign to him.
Electing sociopaths is how you get war and genocide, as we’ve known for millennia. And we’ve given a total sociopath the levers of genocide, both abroad and at home.

Please forgive any ignorance on my part, but would it be required that we'd know what the 2nd (and 3rd and 4th and so on) preferences of those who voted for E in the first choice?
If so, and if such could be done, what if of those who voted for E on their first choice, in their second preference, half of them (i.e. half of 10% being 5%) voted for C, a third of them voted for B, and a sixth of them voted for A;
meanwhile two-thirds of those who voted in their first preference for A, half of those who voted in their first preference for B, and a third of those who voted in their first preference for C, voted for D in their 2nd preference? —i.e. (⅔ x 26%) + (½ x 25%) + (⅓ x 24%) = 16⅔% + 12½% + 8% = 36⅚%.

Thank you. 🙂
1st count
Bamboot got 39.
Floundra got 35.
Aggy-Waggy got 20.
Gort got 6.
But why did Bamboot get 4 of Gort's votes while Aggy-Waggy got only 1, even though the latter got over half the number of the former?
Shouldn't it be 3+2+1 instead of 4+1+1?
and why in the 3rd count did Floundra get 16 of Aggy-Waggy votes, while Bamboot got only 5 or less than 1/3rd?
Presumably in a run-off, it would be Bamboot versus Floundra;
while in proportional representation, the Complete Scumbag Party, Discreet Scumbag Party, the [Gort Butterson Party], and the Nice Party, in a parliament of 100 might get 39, 35, 6, and 20 seats respectively, with probably the Nice Party being in a coalition.
Even if it was 1/2 PR and 1/2 FPP, each system electing 100 candidates (hence a parliament of 200), and in the FPP vote, the Complete Scumbag Party won 51 of the FFP seats, the Discreet Scumbad Party won 38 seats (i.e. less than 75% of the former's number of seats, or conversely the former got over less than 35% the latter's number of seats), the Nice Party won only 8 (2/5ths of what they won in the PR count) seats, and Gort won 3 seats it would still be:
We could have 3 possible coalitions:

They could vote for the legislation, maybe push for an amendment, that doesn't kick in for about 10 years.
e.g. starting 1 January 2036, no person can be a member of Congress who has been in office for 10 or more years, consecutively or non-consecutively. This does not apply to any person who was a Congressperson at the time that this amendment was ratified; and years served before 1 January 2030 will not count.

I think they didn't expect that the most slam-dunk case, the classified files case, would be pulled by one of the most outlandishly corrupt pro-Trump judges we've ever seen, Aileen Cannon.

I sincerely disagree with this. I think Merrick Garland genuinely viewed his role and himself as "separate" from or "above" politics and totally disregarded the threat Trump because of that. This is honestly more in line with previous DOJs as far as political impartiality, however he was not what we needed in that moment.

Either that, or they thought letting Trump run again would make their candidate a shoe in, so they wouldn't have to try at all and could run a "Status Quo, everything is fine so nothing is going to change" candidate.
Either way they put their own desires for power above law and order.

can't survive economically or strategically without 
aid.
Like I do get where your view comes from, especially with Trump basically giving Netanyahu whatever he wants and Biden having done the same thing except for going to war with Iran.
Actually, even if the dominance relationship was reversed, i.e. even if
did control 
, this would not change the fact that 
sent aid and weapons to 
all throughout the Gaza genocide. So while I do think it is important to clarify the dominance hierarchy between 
and 
for other reasons (e.g. in pursuit of a coherent analysis of 
as a vassal state of 
, although sometimes a belligerent vassal), here we can agree to disagree about the direction of the dominance relation and mutually conclude based on the facts that 
, and in particular its figureheads Trump and Biden, are demonic genocidal entities which are deeply responsible for the Gaza genocide.

If Netanyahu just says nope to Trump's peace plan, why would he say yes to Biden's?
And Reagan didn't achieve shit - Israel carried on building in the occupied territories regardless, and they only abandoned their war in Lebanon because it was going badly. Reagan did telephone the Israeli prime minister but the Israeli cabinet had already voted to stop the campaign that day, but of course Reagan wanted to take credit for that and announced how stern he was on the phone and the American news outlets of course delighted in fluff pieces praising the president for stopping the war. But that's all it was. Fluff.
So, no, your "American president can stop Israeli wars with one phone call" is BS,

I think that's the same reason why he's never had a pet - if you take things like companionship and love out of the equation, a pet is just something that consumes resources without giving anything material back. I wouldn't be surprised if he just sees them as pointless.

Stop sharing and interacting with this thing! I know I’m guilty here, but I’m trying to bring awareness to sharing everything this piece of shit spews. #StopsharingDonaldTrump

Yeah, I'm not so sure that ignorance is the best option when dealing with fascists.

He is literally the President of
. He literally controls the US military. If we wants your attention, he can literally force it from you. Ignoring him is not gonna make him go away.

What a utter next Tuesday.
However I guess it can be frustrating to hear about others having all the sympathy in the world for him having cancer, even if you didn't particularly like him, versus no one giving a crap about him literally dying on camera while being "younger" than Biden.

IIUC, 10s of millions of Chinese starved under his rule, meanwhile Taiwan got better.
Tolc@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 21d
Do you know 9 million people starve to death every year under capitalism? Do you know how much famines happened in China before mao? Do you know under Mao China's population doubled? Do you know under Mao China's literacy rates, housing rates, healthcare improved massively? Do you know under Mao China ended the century of humiliation and liquidated all landlords who were exploiting peasants?
Yeah taiwan got better
Too much success isnt it

Are you talking about wp:OECD member states whose combined population might be 50% more numerous than was Maoist China?
I understand many, however I suppose we can both agree that the emperors were evil, as was Chiang and Japan in the 1930s and first half of the 1940s.
Yes: "every mouth has 2 hands." IIUC, Mao was a pro-natalist.
China seems to have done better/less bad under Deng and the 2 child policy.
wp:Sequoyah
(my bold)
I'll have to check out the housing and health, but other countries might also have improved such without things such as the so-called "Cultural revolution."
I wonder where China would be without Sun Yat-sen or even Chiang.
(Where would Lenin be without Kerensky? Where would Stalin be without either of them?)
Perhaps Mao could have done it without the millions of deaths.
The USSR was the first country to recognize Israel.
wp:China–Israel relations
...
according to the lede:
It seems that things are a bit nuanced here.
IIUC, a pariah state and one with little diplomatic relations, helped each other, including working on nuclear weapons.
While I'm sure many in the far left would be indifferent to the PRC taking Taiwan, perhaps supportive of it, Taiwan itself would rather maintain independence, if only a de facto independence.
Meanwhile, many of us seem to be okay with gender apartheid in many Muslim-majority countries.
I think the PRC was/is far worse at genocide.
wp:Persecution of Uyghurs in China
Hmmmm, interesting.
Also, it seems some Muslimphobes in right-wing circles in the West support what China is doing with its Muslims.
The US somewhat abandoned Taiwan in the early 1970s to exploit the Sino-Soviet split.
It seems some of the PRCs neighbours—India, Vietnam, Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan—are heavily armed.
btw:
one of my favorite scenes in the 1976 movie Network:
Network - The Mao Tse Tung Hour Negotiations
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CuqvlMxfGA4
1:55
IIUC, a depicted 3-way between a pro-Moscow Communist, Maoists, or quasi-Maoists, and the network.

I mean if you want to make obnoxious messages that invoke images of Facebook Karens that think clapping to emphasize words helps their point (to the point they add clapping emojis to text... Holy fuck I can't emphasize enough how 👏 utterly 👏 braindead 👏 that clapping looks to me), this tree emoji looks kinda like a bush, at least on my device: 🌳

Why is Biden on your list of problems with this country, but Trump is not?
You know what, nevermind, your response to that question doesn't matter... i already know the answer
PM_ME_VINTAGE_30S@anarchist.nexus · 2 pts · 29d
I literally said
"BOTH" ... meaning Biden AND Trump. You literally just had to scroll past the Genocide Joe picture. I didn't give
an emoji because I thought it would be silly to name him twice.
The fuck you mean Trump's not on my list of problems? Fuck all the Presidents of this evil-ass country, obviously Trump included. Anarchists were explicitly mentioned in his executive order designating Antifa as a terrorist organization. He wants to deport me and my family for a variety of intersectional bigotries. And Trump has been just as monstrous as Biden with his continuation of the Gaza genocide, and Trump was enough of a moron to attack Iran on behalf of Israel.
Of course I fucking hate Trump! There, I fucking said it with the level of emphasis that you requested.
Now, kindly examine why you found an image indicting
for his role in the Gaza genocide, which I remind you began under Brandon's term with 
support, so offensive that you couldn't even finish reading the comment. I am charitably assuming that you are not doing apologia for the former Zionist-in-chief on purpose; don't prove me wrong.
Death to
and all their demonic Presidents.
benderbeerman@lemmy.world · -2 pts · 29d
I read your comment, you named Biden * very assertively and maybe implied trump.
I wasn't defending Biden, and if that's what you got from that, you're stuck in a hole.
I do agree tho, fuck them all. Ain't none of them in for the people, and haven't been in literal decades, if not longer. Fuck Biden, Trump, Obama, Bush Jr, Clinton, Reagan, Ford, Nixon, etc...
PM_ME_VINTAGE_30S@anarchist.nexus · 1 pts · 29d
I mean I thought it was clear from context? Like the post headline was about Trump talking smack about Biden, so I thought "both of them" clearly bound to both Biden and Trump? But also I do see where you're coming from. I guess I'll try to make sure future comments are clearer in that regard.
benderbeerman@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 28d
It's all good, I saw the Brandon/Biden thing and it must have triggered a bias i have where I see people using Maga slogans and immediately think they are just defending Trump. Sorry about that
