That’s debatable, you use arguments, ergo argue, vis a vis, in a debate, vice versa.

Now it’s time for sternly worded protests.

Trump’s message: Don’t support me unless it’s transactional.

Jokes on you, YouTube, my Chinese phone rolls their ads over yours!

So basically, they will get all their wealth and property in the country repossessed and sniped off of them, Nazi style far below their value because they need to sell immediately and their local markets will be saturated. Do they have a new colonizer buddy like Israel lined up whom they can Haavara Agreement their interests with? Maybe their reactionary far right bullshitters they are financing over in Europe whom they will help roll over their governments? Like Vox in Spain? South America, even Puerto Rico, no longer seems like a stable or equitable bet to the economy they will now be coming from.

My entire point was that they weren’t doing so …

Good times create weak men who think those good times came out of nothing and want an easy excuse on why they are being deprived of something they thing they are naturally entitled to. This excuse usually ends up being believing those who the good men who created those good times fought against.

This is the time you decide whether the Civil War was just about about keeping the country united to maintain its power or whether it was about ending slavery (which it didn’t, but that’s another point). It’s clear that keeping the country together only helped maintain US power and influence internationally, because the assholes who rebelled to protect slavery have kept their agenda and are clearly in power now. It does not bode well when only the abuser is willing to stand up for themselves and their narcissism while the victim still thinks that if they are nice enough they will get anyone to see the error of their ways. Are democrats just willing to tolerate abuse? Is there nothing they would secede from, even a tyrant?

Right now, some GOP members are playing a charade of fighting the administration on side issues like Ukraine. Make no mistake, they are still complicit with a Trump admin, and midterms will be a charade as well.

What’s wrong is that officers of the law are allowed to lie like that, yet still want to be respected.

The guys that are currently restoring confederate monuments would perform a takeover of the state by the federal government. US states no longer share core values, sometimes very hypocritically so.

Also would mean they would incidentally lose all right to ever call China’s Tiannamen Square massacre out again.

They should be. Meanwhile, the governor, while criticizing Trump, was still whitewashing him when he said he would be willing to work with him. That’s the thing, fascist dictators will fabricate if they are not able to force a situation, and sometimes that’s to handle the situation before it ever gets a chance to materialize. Look at Erdogan and the failed 2016 military coup that basically disarmed any further attempts against him. Trump wants to prevent and punish rebellion because he knows that where he is going to bring the United States is going to instill a lot of it.

States do need to secede, the US is no longer operating within the constitution, it is their only out, and Trump is going to do everything to prevent it. The problem is, a lot of states should be coordinating together on this and falling back to Articles of Confederation between them to retain their autonomy and prevent the subverted military agencies from invading them. It really requires a mindset to resist forcefully if necessary while people are still getting brainwashed through their social network bubbles and the militarized occupation forces are already present. The constitution is no longer in effect, all branches of government are now irrevocably corrupt, and Trump is crowning himself not as a modern king but as the type of king the thirteen colonies rebelled against.

That’s why Trump distanced himself from and actively pissed off international allies while siding with dictators. This is why Trump has sunk the economy to promote only that of his insiders. This is the context under which Trump is considering taking over Canada and Greenland while pulling out of NATO. He has been promised a kingdom and he doesn’t care how much worse off the country it is as a result of it because he only cares about being a malignant narcissist, just like the people propping him up.

I’d have the one just so I don’t have to wait 5 minutes to get out of that weird ass test.
