  • That's a very good point. I think you're right.

    That was when the US moved from covertly to openly breaking international human rights laws, introduced indefinite detention without trial, legally authorised itself to invade Europe, curtailed civil liberties, and rolled out a multi-national network of surveillance of its own citizens.

    It also undercut rational reactions to climate change and normalized working-class right wing pride in having a president who sounds stupid to educated people. All of these things are arguably the groundwork for what they have now.

  • Thanks very much, friend. That looks amazing. I just checked and Mexico also has some national parks with North American wildlife and even volcanoes! This one looks great.

  • I thknk you are. I just read through the Project 2025 stuff and it does seem to point to a recession.

    As a non American with investments, I'm glad I read it.

  • Thanks for posting this link. I had not read through Project 2025 before.

    Is it just me or is the US heading into an economic recession? That thing reads like they are trying to destroy social cohesion, the environment, and probably the economy.

  • I have to admit: I just crossed the Grand Canyon and Yellowstone Park off my bucket list whilst reading this story.

    The police firearm homicides always felt a bit iffy but this clinches it. Definitely not going to try to visit that country. It's not a risk I'm willing to run.

  • Yes, you should have. Several people in here seem to be reacting to the mistaken idea that Europe's only focus is Trump.

  • Not necessarily, helping commit the Gaza Genocide might be enough.

    The Nobel Peace Prize has a long tradition of awarding Genociders and war mongers from Henry Kissinger onward.

  • The US has way better surveillance of irs own cotizens than it had of Afghanistan. They will send Homeland Security after any militia before it becomes a credible threat to them.

  • Be hilarious if it catches on and all the LLM bots start eroneously claiming to be CC licensed.

  • Europe looking up to them like the adult in the room.

    We never did that though.

    The dynamic was more like the US is the big rich kid with all the toys who sometimes bullies the other kids so it's better to have him on side.

    Now you've elected a couple of literal spoiled rich bullies it makes it all a lot more obvious.

  • I think he will commit more crimes but you may be right. He has a tiger by the tail though. At this point I don't think he could get out unscathed.

  • He's giving Bewildered elderly cat lady protests against flouride vibes here.

  • Same reason Netanyahu doesn't retire. If they get off the carousel they go to jail.

  • If you don't agree with the person above you, maybe don't start your comment with

    I'm wondering this too.

    Accusing people of being shills for commenting that bluesky is going to become (shitty) like twitter is out of pocket.

  • Bizarre that you and that other guy thought "will become the next Twitter" was some sort of praise. It's not.

  • Nothing wrong with getting stuck on zombo.com. After all you can do anything there.
