    This is why I laugh when all the non American dumbasses who don’t think say “your leader is a peace of shit and your country is ruining the world!” Like no shit dipshit, you think we can even do anything about it?

        The core difference between the US and most other countries who handle shit that was is that the US is fucking huge. Its not some country where everypoint is 100 miles from the capitol which is also the one and only large city.

        Also, despite thebstereotype, guns are really not that prevailent. Its a verybclose paralell to the 1% money thing, except the percentage is a little bigger. The average house doesn’t even have a gun, and many of the ones thst do have maybe a hunting gun or two that they use to hunt. Then a small percentage of nutters have like 200 guns because they need to distrsct from having tiny dicks and an Ford F9000 wasn’t large enough.

          Keep in mind that not all gun collectors are compensating douchebags. Some of them are just autistic with a lot of money and want to have a personal museum.

          That being said, yeah there’s some compensators with a lot of guns

        The idea that the US government would fall and that the “good guys” would end up in control of what followed is ridiculous.

          Exactly, the country is finished. When trump dies of natural causes there’s going to be a big competition to see who can be the biggest piece of shit in america and that person will be the successor. It’s just completely fucked and it will stay fucked for decades if not centuries. American experiment is over.

            Pax Americana is over. I expect America to stumble on. There are still a lot of capable and well educated Americans, and a lot of resources. It will take generations to heal though, and the rot that got us here will not be easily addressed.

            What the rest of the world is going to have to deal with is that when America becomes less attractive to dominate, our oligarchs are going to turn their eyes elsewhere. They still have their assets, and no real loyalty to America. It already looks like the process is well underway.

              I guess im seeing it as generations of getting a lot worse before the healing begins. Yes there are plenty of good people and they’re all getting marginalized in our country.

                I see three serious contenders for the next Presidency. Pritzker, Jon Stewart, and Tucker Carlson. That’s three very different paths, and we’ll know a lot more after that election.

                The Republican nomination is Carlson’s if he wants it, and he would roll right over another Zionist Democrat. Pritzker has the best chance of any traditional Democrat of satisfying (barely) both the establishment and progressive wings, and would dominate any Republican but maybe Tucker. Stewart would steamroll anyone dumb enough to debate him. He’s still way too “enlightened centrist” for my liking, but he seems to be learning.

                Vance has a chance if Carlson doesn’t run and the Democrats nominate an establishment clown. Speaking of which, I think Newsom is going to flip-flop himself into oblivion early in the race.

                  Stewart and tucker will never run, maybe tucker would start an exploratory committee as a scam but he’ll never get close.

                  Pritzker will run and he’ll get third or fourth in the first couple primaries and drop out lol.

                  They’re gonna run some maga dude and fix the elections. Maybe it will be vance, but i agree he’s extremely low charisma, still they dont really care. Just a less unlikeable candidate would make the prophanda war eaaier to win.

                  thiel and ellison own the country they’re gonna pick some empty suit like vance maybe lutnick someone like that.

          Understandable, wife is the minister of home and finance after all, if she said you have no budget for revolution you have no budget for revolution.

        Unfortunately the vote of most americans in the presidential race literally does not matter because only about 1/4 of them live in swing states

    Try to avoid the Smithsonian museums, please. At this point, hitting any of the three branches would probably be an improvement.

    Can we donate? Take the GOP and the AIPAC dems too please. Please do make sure you bomb Mar a lago back to the stone age - we’ll pay extra for that.
