    The incompetence of the day is the administration placing Australian flags instead of the UK ones

        well here’s my theory: if the reason it didn’t work is because you have a new king…well…what’s the new king’s role in civilized society?

    trump just about is king in all but name:
    He stands above the law.
    Holds his court with his chosen sycophants.
    Writes edicts and decrees for those below him to live by.
    Hands out pardons only to those who please him.
    Takes “gifts” and makes them his personal property.
    Claims his status to be divine and scolds religious leaders.
    Demands to have a ballroom, and most likely wants another palace after that.
    Erects monuments and renames buildings in his name.
    Is normalizing that he does not have to leave his position.

    So, yeah, when will he just claim the title of King to get it solidified?

      That’s why I appreciated the renaming of Department of War. It’s pretty much the only honest thing this admin has ever said. When’s the last time the US “defended” something?

        i’m sure statesia fired a missile at someone after thatcher’s husband’s monocle popped at the races one lazy fake saturday.

        real defending? like, the panama canal from pirates? never. also, in unrelated news who wants to go in together on an ocean worthy sailing vessel?

    Shouldn’t the “republicans” and the 2A be having something to say about that? Or are they busy wiping gravy away with their novelty DOI napkins?

    I’m sure the French regret the Statue of Liberty every day.

      The 2A worshippers think, “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed” means precisely, “Ain’t nobody taking my guns” and no more. The orange shitstain’s regular attacks on the Constitution aren’t their problem, so long as they can use 1A to say they hate (n-word), and ‘keep’ their guns, rocket launchers, grenades, whatever.

      They view themselves as a new Rome, a republic on the verge of becoming an empire, and trump is their Caeser. They don’t care if he dies as soon as he’s done being useful to them, because they know the damage is done and Rome ain’t never gonna be a republic again.

    Midterms are coming up,

    And instead of working out why 1/2 of their country hates them, the admin is actively mocking/pissing people off?

    Bold strategy.

    It is like they want to lose, and go back to their crying/fake/stolen/rigged talk again.

      I really hope it ends up mattering but apathy between the two parties is extreme and I’m worried about voter turnout

        Yeah,

        Tankies on lemmy: “The democrats never do anything for the working class!!1!!1!”

        Progressive Dems: Propose bill to increase minimum wage

        Tankies: “THAT DOESN’T COUNT!

        It’s always the same story…

      What are you talking about? It makes perfect sense. The wheels of every corporation haven’t been this greased since Nixon. Trump is absolutely glazing the oil, technology, and his own industries. Everyone is in bed together, they make all the money, and we all lose.

      It actually makes a lot of sense if you consider that the Nationalist Christians are a very core support demographic of the regime. Dogmatic adherence to absolute nonsense and radical prejudice is kind of their bread and butter.
