I’m convinced these events will permanently change the role of the US in the world. I checked all of Germany’s major newspapers (progressive and conservative) and they all agree that Europe can’t rely on the US anymore and will have to fend for itself and/or find new partners. I don’t doubt it’s the same in other major European countries. This might well be the start of the end of US hegemony. I sure hope that whatever new world order we move into isn’t worse than the one we had, and that the changes go over without additional war.

I know the main thing here is Vance and Trump backstabbing and bullying Zelenskyy, but I just want to point out that Trump repeatedly talked about “raw earth” instead of “rare earths”. We’re truly fucked.

offer nothing in return

Warmth, company, fun…? Also, the experience of being responsible for and caring for another being can be very valuable.

Yes, this is a nazi salute. How long until we see regular "Hail Trump!"s (and/or "Hail Elon!"s)?

There was, 8 years ago. But the second best time is right now.

Agreed.

I have a hunch she’ll be in prison before that happens.

Well, for now they’re being deported to Guantanamo Bay. That doesn’t necessarily mean they will then also be deported to their home countries. I could very well see the Trump administration keep thousands of people there indefinitely and have them do slave labor (which is legal in the US).

Very cool. What’s the third panel from? It doesn’t ring a bell.

Who says they’re planning to send them anywhere?

Reddit is no longer a safe place for free speech

Friendly reminder of when spez, many years ago, literally just changed a user’s comment, and then went on to not be immediately fired over this insane breach of everything to do with customer relations.

So they just do it without an amendment. Who’s gonna stop them? The SCOTUS which has declared that Trump isn’t bound by law while president? The people, who happily voted Trump into power after he tried to overthrow the previous government? Congress? The military?

Maybe one of them will, but I would be very anxious these days if I lived in the US.

A new colour (visible to humans).

You’re asking this as if the majority of congress isn’t fully behind the Trumpist authoritarian agenda.

Must be this one, but the downvotes were part of the game in that thread so I guess it doesn’t really count. Other than that I’ve never gotten more than like 3 downvotes on a post.
