Trump Asked Why He Thinks He Can Arrest Gavin Newsom — Says He Committed ‘Crime’ of ‘Running For Governor’ - Lemmy.World

What crime has he committed? I think his primary crime is running for governor because he’s done such a bad job. What he’s to that state is like what Biden did to this country. And that’s pretty bad. It’s the wrong philosophy. Thousands, hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants, many of them prisoners, they’re taking up your healthcare, they’re taking up your space in schools, they’re taking up your hospital. And in many cases, they’re criminals. And we have to do something about it. And we’re doing something about.

Jesus fucking Christ what have you Americans gotten yourselves into? Do we need to pop across the pond and sort you out again?

Feels like we’re headed towards a new dark ages
We’re already in it
Yes please. The sooner the better
+1, I’ll make cookies.
I think you mean biscuits.

I’ll call them whatever you want – Kekse, galletas, piškotki – if you help us get rid of the fascists.

But personally I’ll always associate the word ‘biscuit’ with this.

I need to re-binge-watch that show again, Dylan Moran makes me quiver
I was just talking about rewatching that with my partner…we ended up choosing Stargate SG1; but Black Books is on the list.
There’s no such thing as rewatching Black Books too many times.
We could use the assist!

Dude this is everyone in MAGA country. It’s so fuckin bad. I had a client rant unprompted to me about Biden and electric cars for a half hour on Friday.

My ass is moving to the UK ASAP. Helps when your spouse is from there.

Careful you don’t arrive here just as Farage gets in.

It’s on my mind, the UK is on a very similar trajectory, just utilizing different mechanisms. Still, I think we’ll be safer there. And if push comes to shove, we can move somewhere else in Europe down the line.

Hopefully not tho, we’re finding some really cute homes in Scotland.

Yes, please come pick up your rebellious teenager
We have terminal Nazi syndrome. Send help.
If you need, I’ll write up a declaration of dependence.
Man, what I want from Americans is writing down “I will not vote for a fascist again” 100 times.
I’ll get started on that.
I identify with this as an American Idiot, but I think the lesson is this can happen anywhere when the interests of those in power diverge from humanity.

Well it was this or a woman.

Pretty hard choice for them.

Whole lotta people that should know better stayed home, too. Also, a lot of people still bleating out nonsense, even now, about “both sides” and talking about “shitlibs” and GenocideJoe and so on.
Why are you supporting genocide?
Who is?
Right now every American who pays taxes.
No.
Why not?
The premise is absurd.
Does the tax dollars not go to fund Israeli weapons?

Yes they do.

Do you think the general population who pay taxes get a say in that?

That doesn’t matter, support is support.

It’s literally in the definition of support.

to give financial assistance to (a person, organization, program, etc.); be a contributor to or patron of:

I try to support the local theater by buying season tickets every year.

Our scholarship fund supports a number of students from lower-income families.

How can someone just stop paying taxes? Through what method?

What’s your solution?

I could easily say that you support Genocide unless you fly to Israel and protest. Obviously that would be a foolish statement but it’s kind of what you are doing.

I sell drugs and drug accessories and I don’t pay tax so I don’t support genocide.

So your argument is “I can do it that means everyone can do it”?

That’s a really flawed argument.

I don’t see how not paying taxes wouldn’t mean I’m not supporting genocide though.

By flying I’d be paying taxes and supporting it.

Noted.

How many grassroots campaigns against genocide have you started in your hometown?

If the answer is less than 1 then according to your argument you support genocide.

My argument is I don’t pay taxes so I don’t support genocide grassroots campaigns have nothing to do with it.

Well governments of the world aren’t standing up to Israel because they feel no political pressure from their constituents to do so.

Therefore you support genocide because you aren’t doing anything to put pressure on your politicians to stop it.

This is all extending from your original ridiculous accusation. See how absurd it is?

If people don’t pay taxes the government will have to change or will go bankrupt.

You’re overthinking a simple concept and seem to be confusing yourself by doing so.

Keep making yourself feel better about doing nothing to stop the genocide.

^ Sigh. Exactly the silly kind of talking points I was talking about.

I listen to TYT, and it seems they are even still, as donvict is ramping up to have the military attack Americans, spending an awful lot of time talking about Gaza. This, after they have already spent quite a lot of energy on it as if it’s the only thing going on in the world. Yes, Gaza is terrible, and almost none of our citizens love it that our government is funding Israel, but meanwhile, our country is falling into fascism and all too often there are elements among liberals that keep playing the stupid bothsiderist game and seem to lose perspective.

Would Biden/Kamala immediately have fixed things when it comes to Gaza? Doubtful. But with donvict, we have both Gaza AND our country’s very future in jeopardy. Pretending it’s “both sides” is nothing short of brain-dead.

How many of those were really people? Their arguments were all cut’n’paste and most of their posts stopped after the election.
It’s a fair question for the online world, and I think at least some amount were paid actors/trolls/bots. However, I do know people like this IRL, too.
I wish, but the truth is that no one is coming to save us. It’s up to “We the people” to commit and sort this shit out.

I’d like just one of these fuckers talking about what Biden “did to this country” have to explain themselves in a forum where it’s moderated. A forum where they cannot get away with magabrained fanfic like “the autopen” or “Hunter’s harddrive, oops, I mean ‘laptop’”.

I keep hearing these dumbfucks saying this and Biden had everything going quite well domestically and headed in even better directions. This dumbass came in and broke everything again.

So I would love to see them called on their claims and have to answer the question - just what was so bad about Biden, exactly?

The media is totally out to lunch. I watched HitlerPig in a few different interviews bragging about the cost of gasoline being only $2, and not one “journalist” challenged that assertion. Where is it $2? What state? I travel the entire East Coast for work, and I haven’t seen gas below $2.50 since the peak of Covid.

I’m in Florida, and it cycles between $2.90 and $3.20 on a predictable cycle. It’s about $2.95 today, and it will be at $2.89 by the weekend, then jump to $3.20 next Monday or Tuesday, guaranteed. The cheapest gas on the East Coast is always South Carolina, and I haven’t seen it below $2.60, and it’s usually in in the $2.80s.

So $2? Where?

He wasn’t the best for unions. Not that Don is better.
West coast checking in, sure would appreciate the assist.

Do we need to pop across the pond and sort you out again?

For fucks sake, yes.

If you mean Britain… Didn’t work out too well for you last time. Canada been pretty successful though.
I’d ask for rescue, but your Supreme Court just ruled that I shouldn’t be allowed to piss anywhere at all. Maybe y’all should prioritize taking care of your own homegrown fascists? This is sorta “there but for the grace of god go I” except yall also did stupid shit like Brexit.

This fucker is like an IRL Michel Scott

“Sometimes I’ll start a sentence and I don’t know where it’s going. I just hope to find it somewhere along the way. Like an improv conversation. An improversation.”

Sometimes I’ll start a sentence and then I will be able and not to do with him and being able for the best to make us feel like we are the only one that has a lot to say otherwise we will have a lot more time for you guys and we will see if they are going on about the show
