Pathetic. She's throating Putin's dick so hard that she can't even speak to her own government when asked in good faith.

Many more babies will suffer collateral damage.

That's the problem here. Population health affects everyone, so you can't just say "fuck you trump supporters", because everyone suffers for it.

Voting third party is fine. Protest voting is acceptable, though this result still fucking sucks. Strategic voting doesn't have to be the default choice.

Anybody that did NOT vote, thinking it would be any sort of protest, is completely idiotic. Self imposed disenfranchisement only forfeits your own ability to say anything about the results.

I absolutely can blame them for global insecurity, the way Russia made grain prices rise by invading Ukraine.

Americans also have the most significant impact on climate change because they're the biggest polluters.

Yea this is a question of damage control. My wife is worried about them attempting to remove abortion access in lock step, and now she isn't wrong to be afraid. Populism is toxic.

Also, all of the disinformation campaigns that worked to destabilize the US were vindicated by this election result, so you can expect similar interference in the Canadian election next year.

That just means they're racist too. All he needed to do was paint immigrants and refugees as boogeyman so even minorities look down on them. Anything goes, as long as leopards don't eat my face!

If the world wants to shift towards extremism, why stop it? Give the people what they want.

The easy answer is, money. Lots of it. With the deregulation of financial crimes (let's see how badly the IRS gets gutted now), it doesn't matter where the money comes from. But it will be necessary to invest heavily in the next midterm and presidential election to ensure JD Vance doesn't automatically win.

The internet archive is based in the US. Until they relocate to a safe alternative, it doesn't matter how much money they receive.

Not gonna lie, this battle will be uphill against entrenched industries like big oil, crypto, big tobacco, the military industrial complex, and billionaires like Elon Musk.

But you can't roll over and let these assholes ravage the country. Conscientious objection to dubious orders happened during the Vietnam War, and it can happen again if Trump goes rogue.

No, siege is when you are suffering from a famine because a government that hasn't received a vote in 15 years picked a fight with a heavily armed neighbor, and said neighbor collectively punishes all of your people for their mistakes (which is a war crime, btw).

Exactly. This makes the entire thing a joke.

The court will decide acts are official when convenient (read: supports their guy).

The Federalist Society needs to be outlawed as a terrorist organization.
