Translation: "My mom married a criminal and the law finally caught up with him." Also, on the second clip, they are not citizens in good standing. They are not citizens at all, and that is the problem. They shouldn't have been allowed to break in, they shouldn't have been allowed to stay, and they are finally getting sent back where they have legal residence.

1. He'll be damned old at that point. 2. That's a dangerous precedent to set. Approval polls can be manipulated. Always consider what something might be abused for in the future.

He's not been there 4 days. He's not even in office yet.

Yup. I am very much an Elon fanboy, but that doesn't mean that he doesn't talk out of his ass sometimes. Mainstream media though? Politicians? 99.9% of the elites? I haven't found much value in them over the past couple of decades.

As a left winger, a liberal socialist specifically, I've been labled "right wing," "far right," "alt right," and a "Nazi" for just saying obvious common sense things. I might be a lot closer to the center than I was 15 years ago, but I sure as hell am not a right winger. The Overton window has run off of a cliff.

Yup. Amish are the MVPs.

@markyg236 Those people are idiot. The ones that think the US is a direct democracy that is. As for those that think it should be, eh, Switzerland does pretty well for itself, but it would require an enormous restructuring from the ground up and that's not really feasible. And I would posit that the Swiss are probably more informed on average and likely to make good decisions than Americans.

Their only chance to remain relevant is to get rid of as many of the overpaid talking heads as the can, cut the fat, set up accounts on as many social media and streaming platforms as they can, hire field reporters, hire people whos' jobs are to scour the internet for stories being reported and get in contact with the people giving firsthand reports, send those field reporters, and get on-the-ground, honest coverage of those stories. THEN they announce publicly in plain words that they are pivoting away from propaganda and biased reporting and returning to honest reporting of actual news. They'll not get much traction for at least several years before they start getting trust back, but if they don't do this then they are just going to face a slow, ignomious end as then go from distrusted and irrelevant to non-existent.

@PermanentlyTemporary Ah. Thank you for clarifying.

"We aren't the problem, you are." Zero self-reflection. And the few I've seen on their side that does even the slightest bit of self-reflection get shouted down by the crazies and ostracised, many eventually finding a home on the "right."

Yup. The more people heard her talk the less they wanted to vote for her. Except for the radical crazies, of course.

@Freetobee-f1l A democracy is any state that in one form or another is ruled by the will of the people. A republic is a form of democracy in which the will of the people is expressed in the form of elected representatives. The counterpart to a republic is a direct democracy in which the people as a whole vote on individual government decisions rather than having representatives do it for them. You are confusing direct democracy, where the people themselves vote on state decisions, with the umbrella of democracy. A republic is a representative democracy, a subset of democracy. The US and almost all democratic nations are republics because direct democracy beyond a local level are extremely difficult to run for practical reasons, with Switzerland being one of the few modern direct democracies that exist. Stop saying that republics aren't democracies, you are confusing democracies with direct democracies. They are both democracies. Jesus fucking Christ it annoys me when people can't understand basic state structure.

@shumymikaball Well, ONE nestegg at least. Best keep looking. This was just one sarlacc pit gobbling up unending prosperity. I have to wonder, at the end of all of this, will the US federal government suddenly be solvent? Actually be able to start making payments on their debts, instead of taking out more loans just to pay the interest on their debts, just because all the money laundering, bribery, corruption, and absolutely enormous WASTE finally got audited? I'm not American, but god damn does it feel good to finally see some sanity in the global hegemon again.

Can't let it go and can't stop lying. You know, at this point Trump could do some truly terrible things, and no one would believe his detractors simply because they have endlessly cried wolf over and over. Edit: I kinda did want to see Trump run the country from prison, simply because it would be hilarious. Biggest gang in prison, called the "Secret Service."

Wow. I had no idea that their numbers were that abysmal, even before the election. I've never looked up mainstream media numbers but I honestly thought they had four times that number of viewers. However, I wouldn't say that 650 000 viewers/subs would be a small youtuber. Niche maybe, but not small. Any youtuber in the 1-2 million range is a big youtuber in my mind. Not a super star like Pewds was, but there's only room for so many super stars.

You know, the downfall of the democrat party could be the end of the two-party system and make third parties viable.

Trump could not actually pardon himself. The president has the power to pardon federal charges, but this was state charges, completely out of his official power.
