Seen a lot of leopards ate my face comments for the right but definitely applies here too

Anyone in the know about the United States and the history of this great country would steer fucking clear of it

Been here my whole life and even witnessed KKK marching openly with support downtown like some dystopian pride parade and it was a scheduled

Shit done in MLK's days still happen

People are still underpaid living on a constantly polluted planet with shitty underfunded schools with no healthcare nor unity kept in place with the help of jackboots

This young student really thought the United States was anything but a country ran by a shadow group that use the elderly as puppets

Ah to be young again

not a far-off comment

most people from the United States think it is all gravy and that something will always act as a stopgap because Murica' By GOD!

how we got here and any dissenters of opinion here are down talked in the same manner as Zelenskyy was by Trump

and how we were able to get here was more jackboots, less attention paid to funding education, shitting on the enviroment, not paying living wages or offering healthcare, etcetera

never needed a warrant and it was always just a formality to hide the horror under the mask

especially true in boondock towns hours from a walmart with maybe just a dollar general and the "sheriff" rules the towns with his small posse of "deputies"

“I lost my son, essentially. They call it ‘deadnaming’ for a reason. The reason they call it ‘deadnaming’ is because your son is dead.” he said. Musk added that the experience made him vow “to destroy the woke mind virus after that, and we’re making some progress”.

sounds like an origin story told from the perspective of the villain after he has defeated the hero and it paints a very dark present for the United States and an even gloomier future

the industrial revolution and the corporate takeover thereafter led to an increase in polluted soil, lower air quality

the southern united states fell behind after the civil war having been burned down and was not rebuilt back up fully until the 1950s with deficits still remaining to today

education is still drastically underfunded and the minimum wage along with any wages have stagnated in comparison to the rising food plus housing costs not to mention the rest playing into poorer mental health

one plus one usually equals two and the easiest way to control a population is not fascism but restricting what living things need to grow/thrive

not the citizens fault we were corralled into this toxic environment here much like industrialized farm animals not being at fault but if we do nothing as result then yes we are crazy and no better

did the social security offices reopen for in person needs since covid?

way more than about Trump

legal precedents that uphold other legal precedents are being dismantled like they already were being done away with before Trump

more precedents that go away the more personal freedoms and civil liberties goes away

need a revolution

we had real elections before?

Well before President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown further opened the door for agents and officers to question people about their citizenship and legal status, the Border Patrol had been doing exactly that at checkpoints flanking roadways within the United States.

Finally it is put out in the open that the US has border patrols flanking roadways in the United States

This includes states like Missouri where border patrol troopers will stop you at the borders for being overly tanned and noone is safe

With Terry Stops no probable cause is needed and neither is evidence because whatever the jackboot tells the judge is what happened

Trump might be taking the mask off but the face underneath was always there

horseshit

she had multiple chances like at the DNC convention

this is no surprise seeing as our last president was a big supporter of segregation with buses and schools

more misleading headlines

whole United States is and has been in a recession since Obama

food and housing alone have outpaced the minimum wage that has not moved for almost two decades

medical care is unreachable for most and with the pollution combined with the available proteins health plus morals are at all time low

we are in a recession and have been

Been pointless with certain cases getting highlighted so the public feels like the government is actually working for them every so often like those feel good stories on the news

coming from someone who worked with Trump to fund the jackboots manhandling the oil pipeline protesters

Walz is a fucking tool just looking for upvotes

Rights are only what the politicians' check writers say they are no matter who is in office

Terry Stops have been a thing for decades and allows police to stop and frisk people, vehicles, ecectera without probable cause

People in the US think politics is just another soap opera on the daytime TV that has nothing to do with their lives just like watching celebrities and Trump was picked because he adds to all that

Biden was deliberately put in office to be a good step stool for Trump

while the democrats watch us all getting trained by Republicans doing nothing just like when they have the driver's seat

future US food pantry

he has that

"This dead chick looks better than the goat been tapping"

look on his face

and a whole 1250 pages about him taxing it
