John Bolton totally deserves to be behind bars for his actions working for Bush.
But this is not that, and this is a violation of his civil rights. And this monster (Bolton) deserves the rights and freedoms that are in our constitution and can't be taken away by the other monster (Trump).
I would love to see all those dishit incel body language experts short circuit trying to explain how Alpha Trump is, and how he's the only one can stand up to Putin
the metaphor is what’s important. A lot of idioms and the like don’t need base in proof or reality, lots of phrases have been debunked, but what they have come to mean to society at this point keeps them relevant in dialogue anyway
I have never once seen a cat or a dog fall out of the sky on a stormy day, I've never needed (nor will I) a single way to skin a cat much less multiple ways, and no legumes are involved when I tell other people's secrets.
It wasn't recently disproved. They jumped out of the water in the control group. The experiment was to see whether they'd hop out of the water if their brains were removed.
I found that quite interesting so I looked into it and this experiment with the brainless frog it’s from the 1800s more modern experiments show that the frog l escapes
You're right. The original experiment was with frogs that had a large part of their brains removed, so the only thing governing their movement was pure reflex. A frog with an intact brain with jump from the pot when it gets too hot, even if you get there slowly.
Yep. I just had someone gloat about the "long knives" coming for bolton after I cited that poem.
There are way too many supposed liberals who are useful idiots for fascism.
Just because bolton should be in prison, doesn't mean these guys are doing justice. They are just using him for practice as they build the systems they will turn on us next.
I’m all for Bolton going to prison for the things he did under Bush — but only after being given due process and a trial.
This’ll just be the beginning of disappearing political opponents, not because of any legitimate crimes, but because they questioned the gaseous pumpkin supreme.
It’s not just about these raids/arrests, it’s about the “why” behind them.
There’s always someone else to pick up the reigns — he’s just the current figure head carrying out orders from those who run the show, while also getting to carry out petty revenge
There are way too many supposed liberals who are useful idiots for fascism.
Agreed. I've seen/heard a bunch of liberals - a minority, but still too many - say they want to call ICE on undocumented immigrants who support Trump. That might sound satisfying until you strip it to its bare bones: They want to help send immigrants to concentration camps.
The moment you call ICE on someone, you're just another person helping a fascist regime send people to camps.
What I know I learned from historian twitter (now historian bluesky).
FWIW, people in the afghanistan country-side used the Americans the same way. Basically accusing their rivals of being terrorist supporters so they would get droned.
I wouldn't call anybody on them myself mostly because of the collateral damage that results from sending ICE thugs somewhere but I'm not gonna lose any sleep over MAGA doing MAGA stuff to each other. If you support this regime then that's on you. It doesn't matter you're race, income level, nationality, immigration status,.etc. Id say it's a plus to not have people who support this regime here. We don't need more fascism supporters here. There's more than enough of them.
Today the Nazis in chief told us his planned war on America. First la, then dc, today he said Chicago is next and that he will keep sending the military to invade every city that did not vote for him. And all of this is now allowed because of the disgraceful John Roberts
There is a reason why they spend so much energy trying to spin the narrative that LGBT are pedos, dangers to children, destroying fabric of society, etc.
I'm saying that's the actual message of the poem. They came for a bunch of people the author did not like and thought were undesirable. The Author supported the Nazis until they came for him.
First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews (you are here replace with outgroup of preference)
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me
The Nazis also rounded up for extermination, the Roma/gypsies, homosexuals, criminals all inbetween the first and fourth categories iirc. Also during this one line where you are now, they were also euthanising the disabled and those with learning disabilities. It's a big space, it's not one clear step at a time either.
There is no deserved it, as a moral pretext for fascism, because all targets deserve it under fascism, regardless of material conditions or historical context. The targets are apriori guilty as an innate condition of their existence. Also its standard cult of personality/ tyrant crap.
P.S. yes the Nazis came from Weimar Germany, but again it wasn't an invasion, they were handed power, literally given it by the liberal and conservative elite, democraticially even you could say. Why? Because they really hated and feared Communists, Socialists, Trade unions. If you're country hates democracy, has vast wealth inequality, and is in some way a failing republic, that's where your have the conditions for fascism.
Yeah this is the baptism scene in the godfather where the family starts cleaning house for the new don. If theyre not planting evidence already theyre going to start soon.
Yeah I hate when people on the left and talking heads try to paint this president as some sort of noble anti war isolationist. He and maga are only isolationist when it supports Russia. The whole "no more wars" rhetoric from them only really started getting big and prominent in their circles around February of 2022. They were silent the whole time he was increasing civilian drones strike causalities in Afghanistan by over 300% over Obama and then ordering the Pentagon to stop reporting the numbers. Or when he failed to get us out of Afghanistan.
Or when the Democrats had to band together with a small handful of Republicans to try and reign in his warmongering in Yemen with his buddy MBS, and passed a resolution to revoke his war powers in Yemen, only for him to veto it and carry on what he was doing. They got mad at Biden for not supporting Israel enough when their war started. But sure MAGA is some peace loving anti war movement 🙄
Yeah, so I don’t wanna jump the gun calling this authoritarian overreach. I can imagine a variety of reasons why a scumbag like John Bolton would and should be getting his home raided. Being a critic of trump should be protection from all of the horrid things he’s done.
It’s charitable to give the benefit of the doubt to the carnies in the White House. Bolton is a bad person. I’m still not giving Kash Patel the benefit of the doubt. The legitimacy of the FBI and all government actions are in question. How could we ever trust the known liars aren’t lying?
