Revenge for personal slights is one of the only things Trump has the attention span for. It would not surprise me if he maintains a dwarf-esque Book of Grudges.

I don't think he will ever let this go, even if Heritage Foundation shitkickers try to smooth things over. With Tesla's stock price and perhaps even solvency being carried on the back of the Trump administration for the past few months, Elon and his ventures are in deep shit.

Family annihilators are almost always conservative men, and their reasoning invariably involves the belief that women and kids first and foremost exist at the pleasure of the patriarch. He was likely emasculated by his divorce.

To a white supremacist, any nonwhite they can excise from the country is a win, there are no qualifiers, only excuses and what they can get away with.

A couple immigration prosecutors have been outed as extremely vile racists by their online activity. I don't think they are all like this, but enough of them are.

Law enforcement spent millions of dollars and thousands of man-hours looking for Eric Frein in the sticks. They may ramp up the rhetoric, but practically, someone fighting back would have the consequence of straining an already logistically strained effort.

It's a common thread of logic for them.

Their favored aggressors and abusers are essentially framed as dangerous wild animals who can't be held responsible for their actions. They can't help but react to their victims, whether its a cop magdumping an unarmed suspect or Russia rocketing a civilian district. And the victims should know better than to incite further reactions. Somehow it falls on the victim to deftly navigate the rage of their attackers.

The thought that it's the aggressors who need to learn (or be taught) temperance does not enter their head.

So you're saying a Trump pardon is in the pipeline?

There's going to be a bit of contextual nuance when deciding whether to share intelligence and when. I'd bet if we had a respectable statesperson friendly to Ukraine's plight leading this country we would have gotten a few days notice at least.

Between nations that share trust and respect, theoretically, it would give them time to reposition themselves to the coming reality, and perhaps more importantly, give any assets they have in the area a warning to keep their heads down/not step on any toes.

Imagine becoming an internationally-wanted spy for a couple hundred euros.

I am beyond tired of "live and let live" when it comes to the religious right, when its influence negatively impacts the world so clearly, and its hunger for complete global subservience seems to never end.

These people are FREAKS! It is literally a death cult, and its cultists are in charge of more than half the country! They belong in communes in the wilderness of Montana, not ruling the most powerful culture in human history. Not with their hands on the nuclear football and giving orders to 11 Carrier Battle Groups.

Everyone should sever all ties with bible-thumpers. They need to either give up their delusions or be excised from civilization.

Those trees run pretty thick, if I were a sniper I wouldn't set up in the middle of the thicket where my sight line is 30 meters at best all around. I'd be posted somewhere where I could lock down a good chunk of that cleared footpath where people are most likely to travel, like the 6th square from the top left.

tips and tricks for surviving the coming collapse

It's not about shame, it's about being able to hurt people they don't like under any pretense and get away with it.

It's not all on one man. One third of the country is seething with impotent, misguided rage and wants to kill at least another third of the country. None of what he has done, or will do, would be possible if this were not the case. He gives the orders, but thousands, millions of people are carrying them out.

Elmo would remotely brick them out of spite if that happened.

Anyone who builds tools explicitly for mass surveillance of the public is a collaborator, no matter who writes their paycheck.

And don't let the narrative be "MegaCorp built these tools." No, human beings with names and ostensibly consciences built these tools for MegaCorp. They are just as guilty if not more so.

Developers like this should be considered collaborators with fascist elements.

Like a battered child, abuse sometimes begets future abuse instead of lessons learned. Victor Frankl noted a sense of entitled rage and cruelty towards the world from some of his fellow camp survivors, even after they were liberated.

Western MIC is a collaborative effort, though the US has enough sway to either demand that American companies get the licenses to make foreign weapons, or for foreign companies to open factories (if not whole subsidiary companies) in the US. More for strategic reasons than economic ones.

The main gun on the Abrams tank is a German Rheinmetall design. The AT4 rocket we use is Swedish. We buy a lot of H&K (Germany) and FN (Belgium) small arms, in fact the latter is the main supplier of the M4 these days.

Is Comrade Trump's trade policy demented or is he just Juchepilled? 🤔

Often IDF troops are just a hundred meters or so away, ready to thumb the scale in the colonizers' favor if things get violent.
