lmao

I am not saying that she deserves to be in danger, but if you’re going to donate money to her, please remember that she is a registered Republican and she’s even run for a Senate seat as an ® in Louisiana back in 2009, so make certain that she’s worth your money over other causes you could be giving to right now. Just because she’s against Trump doesn’t mean she’s on our side.

At best she’s a grifter. Being a porn star and a Republican Senate candidate in 2009 is a bold move, and sleeping with Donald Trump is pretty nasty.

Pivoting strait to “For the Love of DILFs” just felt like a cheap cash grab, but also follows the pattern of a grifter using reality TV to make fast cash, and an LGBT-friendly dating show immediately after scoring points on the left for humiliating Trump just screams grift to me…

clearly violence was not a serious part of the plan to overthrow the government.

This is the single most delusional string of words I’ve ever read.

You go from claiming that there was no coherent plan, to saying that the plan is “clear” enough that we can rule out violence as a part of it.

4 people fucking died in a coordinated attempt to storm the capitol where an armed mob assaulted and killed police officers, smashed through windows, pissed and shit in hallways and offices, and demanded that politicians be killed.

And you’re saying that violence “clearly” wasn’t part of the plan?

Is this some kind of bit where you pretend to be as stupid as possible, because I don’t get it.

the fact nobody had guns

They did have guns.

there was no clear plan

Donald Trump called the election a fraud months before his loss, told his supporters to show up and force Pence to declare him president despite losing the election. His supporters showed up, erected a noose, demanded Pence be hanged, and came very close to killing him by Pence’s own testimony.

it didn’t even come close to working

Contrary to your beliefs that the thousands of right wing extremists that stormed the capitol were completely unarmed, plenty were heavily armed and came very close to being face to face with Democratic members of Congress. Things could have gone very differently that day if the insurrectionists had managed to go as far as they were willing to. We’re lucky that our representatives were able to get to safety before the mob arrived.

The funniest possible outcome of another Trump presidency is Trump being too insane to even follow the Project 2025 plan, and just erect another 4 year kakocracy that largely embarrasses the Republican part

Our country would be completely and permanently overthrown on the international stage the moment that happens. China and Russia will own the world, and America will be left in ruins. A civil war will make us incredibly weak, and the rest of the world probably isn’t going to fight for us when that happens.

There’s a chance we’ll be literally overthrown too, especially if we leave (or are expelled from) NATO.

There’s literally no reason to believe you are the same person. We we believed that, it would be an excellent way to exploit us.

Even so, this ain’t Reddit. You need to go ahead and learn that right now.

You’re new here, and you’re posting stuff that opposes the only person standing between America and a rapid fall into violent authoritarianism. Welcome to Lemmy and don’t carry water for fascists if you want to have a good time.

This is the same logic Nazis used. The narrative was that Jews forced their hand by refusing to comply with their demands.

Make no mistake, this is a promise of bloodshed. They just want to sound like they want peace and that they’ll have to kill to get it.

Kill them first.

I double checked, and with this weak of a comeback, undoubtedly you.

The billionaire to “devout Christian” pipeline isn’t really a secret.

I’ll consider that when I meet one of those people.

You misunderstood my “LOL.”

This misunderstanding isn’t on me. It’s not on others to understand what you mean regardless of what you say, it is on you to speak precisely. If you’re going to use “lol” in extremely insensitive contexts like this, you can expect people to be unhappy with you. For 35+ years now “lol” has been shorthand for laughing at something because you think it is funny. You’re never going to write “lol” in such a way that anyone will interpret it as some sort of nuanced “this is laughable” statement, especially when you write it it all caps imply that you are having a hard laugh.

With that said, nothing about this is funny, and no use of “lol” here is appropriate as it sounds celebratory at worst and dismissive at best.

If only both candidates had been president before and we could compare their times in office.

Oh well, I guess we have to assume that both candidates are exactly the same…

There’s only one way you’re not getting Trump, and that’s by voting for Biden and making sure as many other people do too. Complaining that you don’t like your choices, while a valid and understandable complaint, isn’t going to get you any closer to what you want at this point in the election cycle.

So when people tell you that “you want Trump”, it’s not necessarily that they think you’re an actual Trump supporter. They’re saying that you’re asking for a series of events that would undoubtedly hand the presidency to Trump, and now in order to oppose Fascism we also have to oppose you, because you stand in the way of the Fascist losing the election. It’s easier to group you in with everyone else carrying water for Trump than to logically separate you just because your motivations aren’t pro-fascism, but rather self-destructive idealism.

There’s a saying in the south: “Thank God for Mississippi”

Because as shitty as Southern States are, Mississippi is always there to be worse.

Not sure what you see funny about state sanctioned sexual mutilation. I’m going to guess you stupidly believe the Louisiana Republicans when they say that this is to punish “pedophiles”, not that it would make something this inhumane ethical or legal.

What worries me is that if is the case that the liberal justices are just whinging, then we’re in even deeper shit, because that would suggest that the liberal justices are making decisions directly in the context of restraining the threat of a future Trump presidency, and that means every single member of the SCOTUS has abandoned being an impartial constitutional judge…

Nah, running your mouth about shit you don’t understand isn’t considered legal advice under most circumstances. He’ll be grifting effectively immediately.

And it is the President’s responsibility to nominate justices, so if the majority party just nullifies every single nominee until they can secure the presidency, we shouldn’t pretend that they aren’t obstructing the operation of government to try to seize power.

All of this “but the government actually works this one specific way” argument isn’t much of a real argument when the issue is that bad faith actors are exploiting and weaponizing the way our government works in order to destroy it and to turn it into a dictatorship.

This was already the arrangement. That’s why Trump was even at the Supreme Court. He was asking for them to decide that everything he did as president was an “official act”. They gave the right to decide that back to the lower courts, where it could theoretically come back to them with a more specific set of actions that they need to decide upon.

Of course, the idea that the SCOTUS is corrupted to the point that they would protect Republicans and sabotage Democrats is a worth discussing, but that seems like a wholly different issue that we allowed the highest court in the country to be corrupted by overt partisanship.

It doesn’t seem so much that the claim is that the SCOTUS gave Trump immunity, but that nobody trusts the court system to draw that line to begin with.
