Send me bad puns. Good puns welcome too.

  • There are millions of Americans trying to organize against this shit.

    To no effect if the last checks notes 250 years or US foreign policy are any indication.

  • Or, you know, the oil and related lobbies are at it again.

  • Um... why?

  • Sincerely, who gives a fuck about the legality of it? Would these people be happy if Congress had voted for it before they bombed brown people in the Middle East for the umpteenth time?

  • The strikes on the Houthis did, at some level, have some restraint compared to this shit.

    Like that residential building y'all bombed to get that Houthi guy hanging out with his girlfriend? Whatever restraint was exercised in the Houthi bombings was strictly performative; the real difference between these two cases is the possibilities of US boots on the ground.

  • By "win" I mean "survive without regime change" (which automatically implies dealing enough damage that they're left alone). Even that is far from guaranteed.

  • Only if you believe the Iraq or Afghanistan wars were okay (in which case you'll have to reasonably argue they were worth the millions killed, wounded and displaced in the process).

  • Death to America.

  • If you expect anything else from any US regime, you haven't been paying attention. This is exactly what happened in Iraq and Afghanistan before puppet governments were installed.

  • Definitely not. You're assuming Iran wins the war with small enough losses that it doesn't set up the regime's fall. This is far from a likely outcome.

  • Which are basically just synonyms for left and right.

  • Frankly, best anyone can do is 9/11 or MAGA.

  • They looked at how America maintained a system of racism and discrimination in its legal system.

    It was... uh... a lot more than that. America didn't go fascist because their ruling class compromised during the Great Depression, but they did have all the pieces of fascism.

  • A mayor can't really do most of these, but also I mean yeah he's a demsoc; it's up to the leftists on the streets to force him to do good things.

  • Um sorry to tell you this but the OG Nazis were inspired by bipartisan American policy. If anything y'all should thank your lucky stars FDR did something before you went full Heil Hitler; this was long overdue.

  • Except A: Not all (or even most, realistically) jobs get that, and B: There's no real enforcement mechanism for those that do other than management goodwill. Practically speaking "one's quantity and quality of work won't affect one's pay provided one doesn't get fired" is a good approximation across the board.

  • I know libs like to do this, but have you really not considered the difference between pushing a demand and preemptively capitulating? Talking to a Republican does not a corporate stooge make.

    We did it, Patrick, we saved democracy!

    Some people can't appreciate the wonderful things comrade Stalin did for... checks notes himself.

    It's proletarian communist exploitation though, so it's okay

  • Ye Power Trippin' Bastards @lemmy.dbzer0.com

    Wanted to post the bottom one only but struck gold (shit???).

  • Political Memes @lemmy.world

    Screw Trump, but breaking the US-Europe alliance is quite the accomplishment

  • Lefty Memes @lemmy.dbzer0.com

    Just in case, the trust being busted here is the US-Europe imperial alliance.

  • Political Memes @lemmy.world

    I know y'all don't care but c'mon

  • Lefty Memes @lemmy.dbzer0.com

    Another day, a new low to sink to.

  • No Stupid Questions @lemmy.world

    Why would America declaring cartels terrorist organizations be a problem for Mexico?
