Well, unless they cave because they are getting death threats from magaferbrainz and threats to their career from the likes of Tommy GROOMERville.
Russian finally won the cold war
Yep.
I just can't get over how easy and cheap it was.
we did most of the work ourselves tbh
step 1. invent light speed communication and connect all of humanity to each other
step 2. do not under any circumstances regulate it or the people who control it
step 3. lose everything
Probably could have bought one less nuke at the onset, put the money in a bank for 70 years and been able to pay for everything with that money and still have some ruble left over to destabilize Europe with.
The national security risk is why she was picked, hope that helps writers at the Atlantic.
The national security risk is the one who picked her.
I've listened to one of her Rogan podcasts. Hillary was absolutely right about her being a Russian puppet. T She parrots so much Russian propaganda it's asinine.
Nope. They can't and won't.
Dumb fucking article asking for reason to the wrong crowd.
The Senate absolutely can stop her, if they choose to. They probably won't.
Some of them are talking publicly about Gaetz, so they might. Or, Trump might nominate so many other Russian assets that Gabbard looks goid in comparison and sneaks through. Or, recess might be called, allowing Trump to appoint his entire slate of doom with no opposition.
We’ll find out in February.
Thanks, non-voters!
i promise im not defending protest or non voters (i need to specify this before im picked apart by a swarm of piranhas) but does no one realize that this massive rift in our social fabric is no longer just a political issue? would defeating trump this year have ended the rise of fascism? the intensifying hatred of minorities, the puritanism, the scapegoating, the violence? kicking the can down the road to 2028 would have accomplished nothing but delaying the inevitable.
if trumps GOP is using the rhetoric they use purely for the purposes of gaining power, had they not gained power in this election they would have just intensified their rhetoric even more and gained power in 2028 instead. these people are literally willing to destroy American society to enrich themselves and their friends.
i voted, you voted, pretty sure everyone on lemmy (worth acknowledging anyway) voted. it was with an empty feeling in my gut though because ballots just determine presidents, they are not a panacea
One of the goals of electing Harris was to delay fascism long enough for a populist like Bernie to hijack the Democratic Party and enact a progressive and socialist agenda. It would be a lot easier to run such candidates if Harris was in office than Trump. As it is we are counting on fascist incompetence to give us future elections and enough of a Democratic party left to co-opt.
Thanks regular voters too!
😂
Is she the reincarnation of Aaron Burr?
