Last I heard the US Navy is the single biggest polluting organization in the world, with all that bunker fuel they burn in addition to their aviation program.

Watch “Don’t Talk to the Police”

He’s rotten and party loyal enough that he’ll probably be around until the end of the regime.

Theoretically the judicial should be considered nonpartisan and objective when talking about this but we know that’s a load of crap now.

I think the seeming lack of bad will against him stems from the fact that he didn’t kill anyone but himself. Just a righteous (or rather self-righteous) rampage of property damage.

…except that he absolutely intended to kill people considering the arsenal of firearms and shooting ports in his contraption.

Need a sadistic sociopath to play the part of Hermann Göring of course. Expect to hear about her “willingness to do what needs to be done” a lot in the future.

I remember when they started talking about mass deportations they were saying 4 million people. An insane number on its own.

During the debate it was 8 million.

Now it’s ballooned to up to 15 million people.

Personally I think this is a lie, an excuse to put together a massive apparatus of detainment and processing. I doubt they will only loose it on illegal immigrants.

No. I’m saying that’s how the issue has been handled historically, possibly deliberately in some cases, but more likely just coincidentally. Not that we need to go back to it in some exercise in eugenics. “The issue” being something to do with an outmoded view of masculinity that was never substantially replaced as the world got less violent and dire. I would rather fix that. How? I don’t know.

That said, your disgust with the phenomenon does not necessarily make it wholly untrue. Right now we have a bunch of maldeveloped, entitled sex pests with violent ideation who just helped vote in a thousand-year Reich. “Burden” is not the right word for them. Rejected by polite society, they have had no outward outlet for their chauvinism and rage, and so they have turned it inward on the rest of us.

How many American military age men do you think are going to be killed in the next 5-10 years?

I sometimes wonder if this is a mass psychosis of sorts that happens when you have a surplus of military age men. In history how many of these impotents would just be given a spear or a rifle and told to go die for the Emperor/King/Fatherland on some pointless military adventurism? Then they wouldn’t have the time to ruminate and make up their own cause to lash out for. “Women are against you, academia is against you, society itself is against you.”

Even more, these rounds are illegal to fire off under any circumstance any civilian circumstance in New Jersey. NJ 2C:58-10

They wont make it a total free for all, they’ll still want their victims as defenseless as possible. I would not be surprised if gun stores start asking for proof of Party affiliation before any purchase. Courts will say “private business nothing we can do lmao.”

National Guard against National Guard isn’t a solution, it’s an escalation into Civil War II.

Voting trends among cops and military enlisted pretty heavily skew Trump last I checked, regardless of the state’s general affiliation. Nightmare scenario is that basically every org structure either defects to red entirely or is sabotaged into operational ineffectiveness by a minority of traitors.

I would not trust anyone in uniform to be on my side as things start to slide.

I think its naive to think that every single armed conflict in history could have been avoided if only certain people had the vision to “take the path of peace,” whatever that means in the circumstance. Since peace requires at least two opposing parties, you can also derive it to mean “we would have peace if bad, violent people weren’t bad and violent” which is simply a waste of breath and keystrokes to say.

Bad people are bad. Very rarely can we persuade them to be otherwise. Sometimes they have to be fought, because the alternative is to let them abuse and kill you.

I’ll give you this, I think the only path to avoiding widespread violence in the near future is a mutual, peaceful secession of blue states. I think that is extremely unlikely given that the GOP has nearly all the cards and I believe is in no spirits to negotiate. And it basically says “fuck you, you’re on your own” to vulnerable people in red states.

Do you think you have the strength of arms to defeat the US military? Now that I would call naive.

The most I’m willing to say on a public forum right now is that circumstances will be more complex than you’re laying them out as.

Project 2025 specifically mentions deputizing national guard units from red states to enforce their immigration law nationwide, specifically in blue states where the local LEOs and leadership there are likely to be less cooperative.

There is always a path towards peace.

I’ll try to be polite and simply say this is incredibly naive and ignorant of human history.

admit it may be unclear to me in the present moment but I’ll be searching for it in the coming years.

You do that, while the Kansas National Guard is busy doorkicking for Latinos in New York.

Russia wants you fighting for your life, so to get that smug satisfaction of not giving your enemy what they want, you should instead not fight for your life even when all sense says you should.

I get tempering your emotions, being patient, and trying to see the bigger picture. But there may come a point where it simply does not matter what our geopolitical enemies want or do not want. We’ve been avoiding this fight since we bungled Reconstruction, honestly.

Asking a tankie what the best path forward is for the US is like a black man asking a Klansman for career advice. They want to see us burn, not be better.

Even with concealed carry, which is basically every state these days.

Even if its illegal to carry, don’t count on these thugs to follow the law.

Even if the person intimidating you is unarmed, they have been known to be supervised by concealed groups of thugs armed with anything from bludgeons to AR-15s in order to turn the tide against someone standing up to them.

Call the police, don’t get carried away on principle and put yourself in danger.

I’ll throw in with the other replies. Everything in this comment is political discourse from 2006. Disagreeing with the opposition’s policy and at most suggesting that they’re dishonest about it.

Right now we’re worried about the GOP and their figurehead bringing about one-party rule and loosing the military on their domestic opposition.

I’d want to wind the clock back too, even if it means having to eye roll at conservative rhetoric like this now and then.

Your housing budget shouldn’t be 2/3 of your income.

Many people have no choice in the matter.
