@zero @SeanCasten I hear you and I don’t disagree exactly, but I guess I’m cynical enough about human nature to believe that one will find about that level of support for violent authoratarians in every society. The trick is building a political system that keeps them out of power, instead of disproportionately *empowering* them, as the US system has done.

I am doing my best to respond to this without a string of expletives.
-
@CaymanPilot Well, let's start with the fact that Biden wasn't in office for another two weeks.
Let's go on with the fact that prosecutions began immediately on multiple levels. Just because we weren't aware of what was going on didn't mean nothing was.
And lastly, I'll point out that Trump could have campaigned and even maybe won from prison. Nothing in the law precludes it.
-
@SeanCasten Please spare us the crocodile tears...
Dems just voted to increase funding to ICE, just as they have for the past 20+ years. Dem mayors and governors are having their police arrest protesters. Meanwhile you took $300,000 from AIPAC and continue to support the genocide in Gaza.
WHO DO YOU EVEN WORK FOR???
-
@SeanCasten I don't really have hope that we'll, collectively, hold them accountable.
We need to purge our country of this rot; every last corner they hide in, every last elected Nazi, if you voted in favor of this? Jail, minimum, proportional to their level of support and involvement.
Stephen Miller?
Kushner?
Every Trump kid?
Almost every single republican in office right now?Trial. No excuses.
We won't, though. The Nazis will have some token sacrifices to hide behind and we won't be rounding up every member of ice and throwing them in a hole like we should.
-
@CaymanPilot I'll add that the GOP has been working on this for quite literally decades.
One figurehead stopped would not have prevented what's happening. Had he dropped dead on J6 it would not have prevented what's happening.
Trump is a prominent symptom of the disease, but only a symptom.

@ATLeagle @SeanCasten
Don't forget the Dem collaborators...
Fucking collaborators. The lot of them.

These Democrats voted for the DHS funding bill despite ICE furor

@DrSaucy @Bahnya @SeanCasten Didn't seven of them vote for additional/continued funding just now? Certainly does look that way from over here.
-
@SeanCasten cold blooded murder
-
@solitha @CaymanPilot
Sure...
But then why did they vote for the ICE Bill...TWO fucking DAYS AGO?
https://thehill.com/homenews/house/5702347-house-democrats-homeland-security-funding/ -
@SeanCasten ...AGAIN.
There will be more.
-
@SeanCasten say the thing.
-
@virbonus @Bahnya @SeanCasten Yes, seven Dems voted yea. That measure, however, did NOT increase funding for DHS as you suggested, but included a $115 million reduction in funding for ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations, a decrease of 5,500 ICE detention beds and a $1.8 billion cut in Border Patrol funding. It also strengthens oversight of ICE through the Office of the Inspector General and Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties. Still didn't go far enough, but you're blaming the wrong party.
-
@SeanCasten AND the Republicans. They must be included in all of this because they have had many opportunities to stop this deranged and dangerous clown of a madman in the White House. #USPol
-
@DrSaucy @Bahnya @SeanCasten Would a "Nay" have stopped the funding altogether? What would have happened if the bill had been rejected?
-
@virbonus @Bahnya @SeanCasten If there'd been another Dem "Nay" then one of the performative Republican nays would've been a yea.
-
"GOP operatives are doing a deep dive on Mr. Pretti, as we speak.
Finding something, anything, to use as a pretext for fascist propaganda along the lines of 'He had it coming to him' and 'He deserved what happened'.
Billionaire-funded malign influence campaigns are nothing if not consistent.
Repetition, Repetition, Repetition like the KKK and Nazis."

Remember… Billionaires also own your news networks.

@SeanCasten Fuck it! Use all the expletives you want.

@SeanCasten
When does impeachment begin? -
