The Trump Files (feat. Jeff Epstein)

it was a guarantee to:

respect Ukraine’s territory (which Russia vialoted, the US didn’t)

bring any violations to the UN security council (which was done, but with Russia having veto power, useless)

Most people I speak to have the impression that any attack on Ukraine meant the US would jump into full scale war mode to defend them. Honestly I wish it were. At least then it would have been harder for the Biden administration to essentially ignore.

“here’s a bunch of old equipment, good luck buddy” was technically more than required, but grossly inadequate.

As an American in my 30s…

Just don’t trust anything the US says, period.

Who knows if our 4-year mood/tantrum cycle will honor the deal in 15 years, let alone 5.

Take it from me, you don’t want to go down the “eugenics” road…

For the same reason that half the MAGAts in government that we have crimes + named suspects with mountains of evidence, and still no trial.

The same reason donld Trump incited a crowd of people, on camera, to go try and overthrow the government on a cold January morning 6 years ago, and despite people dying and people being murdered in the attempt, the person we have on camera starting it is now the goddamn president instead of in a cell or pine box.

We have no justice system. It only ever existed for whichever out group is being targeted. The rich and influential don’t exist in those groups and instead of trying to hide that like they used to, nowadays they just openly flaunt it.

Account less than a month old and posting uplifting news, while being salty about said news in the comments.

I smell astroturf.

American here, most have no idea that Canada has a prime minister and not president, and JT was the last name most of us heard in relation to the Canadian government.

I doubt very much Trump knows who the current PM is, so I could absolutely see him demanding the capture of “president Trudeau”

Because FUCK HALF THE POPULATION FOR BEING WOMEN

But it also does the dishes without using as much water as you do.

The sad truth is a lot of religious people believe that the end times won’t come unless the earth isn’t livable anymore.

A even LARGER group of religious simply think their sky person will give them a new earth that’s perfect so why bother protecting this one.

They and their supporters are complicit in the murder of the planet at best, and are trashing everything on purpose, trying to claw back any and every support of things that can make it a better place.

“but whatabout…”

Well here in the US we’ve been speedrunning Germany in the 1930s, so it tracks that the places we fuck up and try to control would also be speedrunning their own thing.

The only good fascism is MY fascism!

“comment removed for threatening violence”

I saw no violence and only a massive boot licker would view it as such.

I have to know, given recent events, if the mod who deleted this would still consider it a threat of violence, and even if it is… Is it justified.

(ps, defense of nazis is defense of nazis whether you’re vocally saying I support them or quietly removing comments that oppose them)

Holy shit is this comment more relevant than fucking ever…

I’ve only interacted with two dementia/alzheimer’s patients, so I’ll admit I don’t know much about the conditions.

While yes, they could get belligerent and uncooperative, but largely would agree with pretty much whatever you were saying, as long as you weren’t using a mean tone. Basically they were thought sponges that had no problem agreeing with whatever you said, and even repeating it for a short time before losing it.

Trump is clearly a thought sponge for whoever he last spoke to that wasn’t immediately adversarial to him.

I think most genuinely don’t understand what it’s like living in a country the size of a continent, with hundreds of millions of people scattered all over, with a heavily militarized police force that has been trained to see anyone but themselves as a threat, surrounded by a significant portion of the population that would love the opportunity to murder you without legal consequences and the tools to do so, with your healthcare, shelter, food, and basically everything tied to your employment that could end on a whim, in a system designed to keep you perpetually exhausted so you can’t even begin to imagine a world where you are fairly treated, let alone have the energy to fight for it in any meaningful way.

I mean most Europeans live in countries the size of a single state, with relatively high population densities (comparatively speaking). “Americans think 100 years is a long time, Europeans think 100km is a long distance” and all that. I’ve traveled daily for work what some of my UK friends won’t travel to see family on holidays. The US is insanelt large, and any sort of organization is already an uphill battle from that alone. Get into the fact that most people can’t take a day off work without risking their livelihoods, and that opposition is armed and begging to be let loose, and protesting alone is hard to do.

Historically, any left-leaning organization that arms themselves gets heavily targeted by the Alphabet Squad (FBI, NSA, BATFE, etc) and individuals get harassed and tossed into prisons for the smallest infractions simply due to association with the leftist group.

Anyone who doesn’t look at the history of government opposition in the US when they demand action, all while saying we aren’t doing enough because protesting isn’t enough, is (hopefully ignorantly) telling you to go kill yourself.

Oh, so the US should have claimed Venezuela was US property, then they aren’t playing world police!

I fully expect oil companies to convince governments to tax their citizens 150% to subsidize their new oil wells, just so they can continue looking for and opening new ones LONG after it ceases to be profitable.

It’s like conservatives and democracy. They’re okay with it as long as they can keep “winning” but when they can’t win anymore, they won’t change their behavior, they’ll stop using democracy.

I’d argue we already passed that point for both conservatives (in most major countries) AND oil company profits.

The cost of dealing with fossil fuels has been far outweighing the cost of using them, and has been for many many decades. If our species makes it that long, our grandchildren’s grandchildren’s great great great grandchildren will still be dealing with our mistakes.

They were already doing so, and this wouldn’t excuse anything Russians have been doing even if Ukraine had bombed the fuck out of the place.

It’s definitely a false flag (in my opinion, not actual confirmation by anyone as far as I’m aware), but not a very good one.
