Good.

This is what a declining empire looks like, folks.

Going forward this nation will not be able to rely on a federal government. That will remain true whether Trump is sucking down oxygen or not. We’re lucky our nation is broken up into states, some of which can actually self-govern, cuz it’s looking more and more like balkanization for America. And at this point, I’m kind of into it. But I also live in a state with the 4th largest economy on the planet.

I’m disgusted by it.

But I’ve also reached the point where I’ve accepted that humanity will absolutely destroy this planet and there’s not much that we can do about it.

I still try to minimize my waste, but I do so simply to make myself feel better in the short term, not because I think it’s actually going to make a difference in the end.

Onion reporting actual news now.

Ron DeSantis has the right to be absolutely demolished by Disney and have his presidential bid collapse before his very eyes.

This is important to remember. His supporters are ALL traitors. This isn’t 2016. They weren’t bamboozled. They have voted for him THREE TIMES. They are traitors to our nation and everything it’s supposed to stand for.

Do not trust them. Do not hire them. Do not help them. In any way.

History will absolutely consider Donald Trump an American traitor. A LOT of people just can’t see that from within the situation. They’ll only be able to see it in hindsight, if at all. It’s really sad.

If you lie about an election, you are a traitor.

If you send a mob to stop the certification of an election, you are a traitor.

If you bend the knee to authoritarian leaders, you are a traitor.

If you irreparably damage our alliances by threatening our allies, you are a traitor.

If you steal classified documents and then refuse to give them back, you are a traitor.

If you send the military to threaten/assault American citizens, you are a traitor.

If you spend every day in, and out, of office dividing Americans, you are a traitor.

Do we need to have our commitment to them in writing in the presence of a lawyer in order for them to do the right thing and not follow illegal orders and threaten fellow Americans?

They took an oath.

That has nothing to do with our support.

That being said, the support of the public tends to be more consistent than the support of the leadership we find ourselves with in recent history. That’s made obvious by all the people getting help from others via GoFundMe type donations to cover their medical bills or simply for doing the right thing and being punished for it.

Right?

This isn’t complicated. You either choose to obey an illegal order and threaten/attack other American citizens, or you don’t.

Clearly they have generally chosen, so far, to break the law and betray their fellow Americans.

I mean I have to assume at least some of the armed forces are intelligent enough to know they didn’t sign up to break their oaths and let a felon rapist order them to threaten American citizens.

A significant lack of education mixed with misguided hatred.

Wow, we got ALMOST half of America to understand that it’s bad when presidents send the military to threaten Americans.

That almost makes me think our inevitable decline as a nation will happen slower than I originally thought.

Probably waiting for Americans to stop stripping them of their power and handing it over to a felon rapist traitor and his treasonous party.

MAGA will only watch Fox News and blindly believe everything they are told.

Even after their entertainment channel was fined almost $800 million for lying to them.

Party of small government telling us we can’t go outside at night anymore.

Remind me which party removes rights.

Traitor restoring traitors.

I mean restoring the names of traitors is pretty on point for a fucking traitor.

You don’t need to stop doing any of this.

Just pirate all of it.

That’s what I did.

And just like that, I never considered watching ABC ever again.

We’re where we are because our media are feckless cowards.

This guy chose to make a stand. Props to him. Hopefully he finds more meaningful employment at an organization that values morality.
