Fuck trump, he made world less safe in so many ways and now in addition to threatening Canada and Greenland he appears to be planning to stay a war with Iran.

And get this, the excuse is because they don’t want to negotiate suspending their nuclear program after he broke previous agreement.

Was also confused, yes, apparently those are just crackers:

Just the wrapper makes it look unappetizing, I thought it was lard or something equally disgusting.

Sure, except the resistance will constantly change with time, temperature and other environmental variables.

Sure, but Vance already used his kid this way so I would be surprised why he wouldn’t use his wife that way too.

I think this is better. I would imagine the trip was to collect a material to make MAGA hate Greenland.

I don’t see what’s the reason to even have this trip in the first place.

Yeah, then fucking do something about it, traitors.

He only is saying this, because it will hurt his constituents in Nebraska.

They will try to force EU’s hand via US.

It’s fucking disgusting that trump is using argument that they don’t want to deal with “Europe’s problems” yet he continues to meddle in Russia’s favor.

All he could do is just stop delivery of weapons and make Europe purchase them on Ukraine’s behalf.

The only reason they resumed weapons and intelligence was because Ukraine attacked Moscow and if US isn’t helping it has no say what Ukraine is and isn’t allowed to do.

Can you provide more detail about it? Or links to articles. I have problem finding details as I don’t know what to search for.

Congress could easily pass a law giving them access instead privatizing.

Actually it looks like the private delivery companies is they could they would prefer USPS do the last mile delivery and in fact they do that for the cheaper offerings.

From what I understand that’s how USPS operates too. It generates enough revenue to be self sufficient and is not receiving any funding from the government.

Don’t know any nation that does, but also US already has FedEx, UPS, DHL and others. They could deliver letters if they wanted, but they don’t think that’s profitable.

The privatization looks like it’s essentially stealing all assets USPS has.

BTW there are protests about it https://nalc.org/march23 I recommend to attend them.

This is related to all the other sentences in the do not obey in advance lesson. Basically if government wants to be tyrannical don’t offer help in any way.

For example one thing current regime is trying to deport illegal immigrants, don’t contact and delete on them. Or DOGE tries to do something illegal and you give them access.

BTW here is reading of the book, the lessons without context can be ambiguous

No, the book teaches how to spot tyrannical government attempts to get control and how to prevent it from succeeding. The more people are aware of it the harder it is to do it.

Here’s someone recorded an audiobook https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJfmMQGc3lnIQFSxEHyCrenv4e9GiZfpx

Though if you can, please buy, to support the author, the book is like $8

I had some document with information about protests and I think it had section about how to protect yourself. If you want I can look for it.

Wait so $660m? Maybe I missed it, but it doesn’t look like they physically damaged anything, and the fine is for damaging a reputation of a company that majority of people never heard of?

That sounds insane, yet he already did that in Helsinki.

People are already protesting there, so suspending would make more sense.

The unequal distribution of wealth is what got US where it is right now. I hope Europe don’t let that happen.

It doesn’t matter. Those who actually pay attention to politics would know who is at fault, those who don’t, know trump is the president.

Also what this administration is doing is ensuring that the next election no longer will matter.

I don’t get why so many Americans still don’t see it.

Congress completely capitulated to trump, courts are trying to fight, but this administration is now ignoring them, institutions were taken over by DOGE and won’t do anything.

We got to a point that this won’t get unfucked without massive protests. The irony in this all is that April 19 is the 250th anniversary of the American Revolutionary war.

And on that anniversary we are turning into monarchy it seems.

Hungary, heavily reliant on Russian energy, called the pipeline attack a threat to its sovereignty.

You had fucking 3 years to look for alternatives.

A better choice was to vote no on cloture. They needed 60 votes, so they needed Democrats to pass the bill.

Then there would be two options:

• Democrats and Republicans would pass a clean CR keeping government open while negotiating actual bill (this is how normally things would do)
• government would shut down, it would hurt US, but also would push Americans on the streets protesting, which is we need. What’s happening right now is not normal, it won’t be fixed at the voting booth, we will need something similar to Orange Revolution to unfuck this.

Schumer and others voting with him were most likely bribed and are actually ok with what’s happening.
