I hate this timeline.

Yup. It's called Project 2025 and it's NOT a good thing unless you like facism.

Democrats: This isn't business as usual, we need you to fight! We are in an overwhelming crisis. After just over two weeks in office, the Trump administration has unleashed wave after wave of catastrophic attacksβ€”even going so far as cutting off critical funding ...

For those of you in the US who are expecting more from the Dems than quiet Surrender Monkey business ....

My neighbor's garden is carpeted with the white (and blue) flowers at the moment. Been difficult to keep my eyes off of them (not exactly polite looking into other people's property but ... πŸ’πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ). Absolutely beautiful! Enjoy them!

Absolutely agree with you. Reality is already a terror tale without us making things up. Would be good to have a verification function (like a browser extension) that works from this app. I end up ignoring most posts from 'Truth' and X because I can't verify them, so who knows where truth is?

My question around favourabilty posts regarding Combover Caligula is always: how TAF is anyone in the undecided camp?

Is this a legit post? (Can't confirm as I don't have a Shitter account, but JFC he's completely lost it if it is). Absolutely no pretending he's anything other than a dictator at this point.

The US is now fully on-side with Russia, and Trump clearly has authoritiarian desires. We need to stop thinking of the US as an ally. We are on our own and Europe best come together quickly.

Oh, I do long for a time when utter douchenozzles like Farage and his fellow Putinescas are not given all the OΒ² in the room. They deserve obscurity and the dark cave their ideas hail from.

Ah, no sweat. Just don't go back afterwards? If Russia wants to rejoin the world economically, I suspect they will find this punitive approach a rather large disincentive to international companies. And that works both ways.

Let's hope he's got the chops for this. The Divided States of America is not exactly a reliable ally at this point, but it's certainly worth a try now than letting it go fully pro-Russia. Good luck Starmer. Stay firm.

Yeah I saw that. Blatant invitation for corruption and a clear statement that the Divided States is open for dodgy business.

Time the world realises the US is no longer the reliable old partner it was. Time to make new plans without them, and that needs a strong, unified EU.

26.02.2025 11:31 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

Of course it will πŸ™„. The US has joined the dictatorships of the world. Once the rest of the world realises the US is NOT allied with it and abandons relations, the bedfellows of North Korea and Russia will prove a small (financially unsustainable) world of trade for the US. Dead trade = zero power.

Completely agree. It's short-termist zero-sum game idiocy. They will line their billionaire pockets for a quick buck, and that will be the end of their global power. They've been sneaky about their conquests until now - and used plenty of soft power to build allies. No more. That empire is dead.

I saw the footage of goons manhandling a woman. If US citizens are not yet sufficiently alarmed and sure that America is headed for full-on dictatorship, I fear it is lost. The time to fight this en-masse is now, before they have ALL the levers in place.

It's horrifying. Another Gestapo in the making. I grew up in SA and was a kid during that disgusting dark time. What they uncovered at the Truth and Reconciliation Commission about BOSS was terrifying. And I don't think the 'SS' part of the name was any accident.

The US appears to be going back to the old Colonial drawing board to enrich itself and avoid having to do pesky things like looking after citizens and taxing their oligarchs. Ukraine's minerals look like they are next up for grabs - the US is dead as an ally. It cannot be trusted under Frump.

This is horrible. I really hope your President doesn't sign the deal. Emperor Orange will make Ukrainians pay forever while still siding with Putin. There is no safety from the US wth Trump in charge. They cannot be trusted. Hoping for strong, swift, unified leadership of the EU from Merz now. πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦

Yes! Hoping Merz is on the same page and that we can build a strong, united EU front. Ukraine's (apparently) only other option - signing away mineral rights to Emperor Orange - will only make future generations beholden to another dictatorship. EU needs to step up. The US cannot be trusted.

Elon Musk's private security detail deputized by U.S. Marshals Service, sources say The U.S. Marshals Service routinely deputizes police. However, the move to deputize private security officers, who are not sworn law enforcement officials, is considered unorthodox

Step 5 of Dictator Playbook: Install private army answerable only to Leader. Check. (PS @cbsnews.com It's cute that you wonder why Musk wasn't given a Secret Service detail, but let's be brutally clear-eyed about this, shall we?)

Fuuuuuuuuuck.
