I still can’t believe he got away with this. The US is truly fucked.
This will go down as part of the history when discussing the downfall of the US. We have to wait for the whole “collapse and rebuild” part first though.
The fact that a Donald Trump, who was convicted of multiple felonies and has organised an armed assault on the parliament, got voted into presidency is insane.
Same with Hitler and the third Reich. Lunatics will have insane ideas, but it gets bad when the public partakes in them. At this point, the USA failed. They lost. Because at this point, there’s no turning back to “normal” (for the USA anyway) after this. Even if that cunt disappeared tomorrow, he successfully infected the masses, which don’t need him anymore to conduct themselves in this way.
also the fact that most of them had a slap on the wrist, low level charges too. i think only 1 woman rejected a pardon from that whole group.
And moreso he showed the world the true face of the US and they lost all their international “soft” power. Now the world and especially their (former) allies (like the EU) won’t overlook their international crimes and might treat them like Russia (as soon as they are somewhat more independent of the US).
The Repugnicans are still trying to bill this as a peaceful protest. The kind of peaceful protest where a mob showed up to kill people and had to be held back by force.
MAGA TRAITORS
When you use violence to try to topple a democratically elected government, you are a TRAITOR, not a rioter.
I know it’s an intense word, but when the textbook definition of something happens, you have to call it that.
Even more, it’s literally treason.
MAGA History on January 6 will probably be like:
I assure you, that when he crowns himself godking or whatever they are gonna call dictator for life, they will make Jan 6 a day of national mourning or something like that. Just as Hitler did with the Bierhallenputsch.
If Trump was really held accountable for this he wouldn’t had become President.
NYC dragged/strung along the cases it along for a whole year before dropping it so that he can become president. they were never planning on convicting him, despite the threats to the jury.
He would have been on death row (but never actually killed because I’m against the death penalty, well maybe just this one would be ok). Lol
Never forget.
Traitorous scum, every last one of them. The fact that he’s back in office instead of behind bars is an international embarrassment.
Traitorous scum, every last one of them.
Liberals call them Terrorists
Conservatives call them Freedom Fighters
Here at CBS, you can get the facts and think for yourself. Join us as Bari Weiss sits down for tea and biscuits with a very enthusiastic meth addict and two used car dealer salesmen as they explain what really happened five years ago today. Then come back later for the debate, as we invite a blue haired college student and the world’s oldest man to explain why their radical left-wing views can no longer win elections. At CBS, every angle is covered. We Report, You Decide.
Imagine losing two elections to a carnival barker and blaming other people for your failure.
Elections aren’t a sporting event where a candidate “loses”. It’s actually the people who are the competing athletes.
The American people chose to elect the child rapist.
I think they’re referring to the DNC’s insistence on a transparently corporatist neoliberal agenda who’s candidates are barely electable versus even open fascists, and their habit of deflecting blame for continual strategic failure onto constituents.
and their habit of deflecting blame for continual strategic failure onto constituents.
It’s called a primary. Biden/Kamala were the options because people chose them in the 2016 primary. But even with the DNC picked corporatist that wasn’t primaried it shouldn’t have mattered because a monkey flinging poop should have been elected over the child rapist. But America chose the child rapist.
Alright then. That means there’s some obvious follow-up questions to explore: Are Americans just fundamentally bad? Or, are there popular grievances in America that it’s institutional systems prevent or otherwise fail to address, resulting in pressure releasing as perverse outcomes? Or, is there some sort of corruption in American culture which is causing those perverse outcomes? Something else? Basically, what is inspiring Americans to make these choices that you say earn them the collective blame for the downfall of their nation?
Imo the problem is that all media is almost completely controlled by the Republican party. It’s incoherent that Republicans are always the ones to use “Mainstream media” as a slur when Right wing media has 80% market share control.
What is this mental gymnastic nonsense? Elections are contests that absolutely do have winners and losers. You’re also claiming in your first sentence that “elections aren’t a sporting event” but then call the people “athletes”
That user is correct that the DNC shares all the blame with the RNC and Trump for what we’re now experiencing. They’ve demonstrated election after election that they’re unwilling to govern this country correctly and do what needs to be done to fix the mess we’ve been falling into for decades. It’s always complete inaction, excuses, or half-measures that do little more than generate good PR. If they had accomplished anything truly meaningful in all this time, half the voting population wouldn’t be looking to a child rapist as “the better option.”
Sorry, I stopped reading where you “both sides”.
Not surprising. People would rather keep their heads buried in the sand and do nothing than actually face reality. Best to just plug your ears and keep repeating the same tired, thought-terminating clichés than face some hard truths.
repeating the same tired, thought-terminating clichés
like “both sides”
I literally never once uttered those words but go ahead and keep deflecting from the real issues.
You appear to share the same magical thinking, faith-based belief system as someone who donates money to televangelists thinking that will make god will fix their problems for them despite all evidence pointing to the contrary. “It hasnt worked the last one hundred times I’ve done it but surely this time will be different. How dare you suggest I try literally anything else. That’s the devil talking!”
You’re also claiming in your first sentence that “elections aren’t a sporting event” but then call the people “athletes”
You ignored the important modifier to the sentence which is, “where the candidate loses”.
That is it isn’t a sporting event between candidates. It is a sporting event between the people. The candidate isn’t the athlete. The candidate is the goal that the people kick their ball into.
I’m confused. Is this where the daddy is the baseball and mommy is the catchers mitt?
Oh okay “politicians are goals that people kick their ball into” therefore it’s okay for Democrats to enable the Republican agenda at every turn. Thanks for clarifying things.
okay for Democrats to enable the Republican agenda
It’s what people voted for.
You’re not going to stop fascism by attacking those that are opposing it.
American culture has become rotten. It’s all about greed and laziness. The real winner of the last election was laziness. More people didn’t vote than voted for either candidate. Then there was those that voted for a fascist under the false belief they would somehow share in the profit from being cruel to others. Over 2/3 of Americans were either hoping to profit from cruelty or were too lazy to prevent it.
I’m not American and I’ll tell you that the Democratic party is a completely normal political party in a democratic system. All parties in democratic countries are like that. The reason you hate them is because deep down you just hate democracy.
Americans are incapable of any kind of introspection, so you just look for someone to blame rather than recognize how rotten American culture is. You’re just not the brave freedom loving democratic people that you loudly proclaim to the world you are. You’re cowardly, greedy, lazy, and hypocritical people. You’ll never improve your country if you just go on looking for scapegoats rather than taking a cold hard look at what America is really all about. The first step is admitting you have a problem and you can’t do that.
You’re not going to stop fascism by attacking those that are opposing it.
Outside of performative bullshit like tweets and angry signs, they don’t oppose it and that is precisely the problem. How you can see a Democrat pass Republican bill after Republican bill and call that “opposition” is beyond me.
The real winner of the last election was laziness. More people didn’t vote than voted for either candidate.
You’ll need to actually demonstrate that people abstained from voting due to laziness and not apathy or disillusionment due precisely to the very lack of action from the supposed “good guys” that I mentioned previously for this claim to hold up. You might also be surprised to learn that polling shows there wouldn’t have been a difference in the outcome even if every eligible person voted
I’m not American and I’ll tell you that the Democratic party is a completely normal political party in a democratic system.
Can you elaborate on specifically which democratic system consists of the same two right-wing parties fighting for dominance each election? Do you really think you’re more in tune with how things work here than someone who actually lives here?
The reason you hate them is because deep down you just hate democracy.
It is me who “hates democracy” and not the person arguing that everything is “completely normal” and that we need to keep electing the very same people who got us into this mess? That’s laughable.
Americans are incapable of any kind of introspection, so you just look for someone to blame rather than recognize how rotten American culture is.
Says the person refusing to critically analyze the performance of the so-called “opposition party” and instead wants to blame decades worth of unaddressed issues on the single individual occupying the White House for the past year? American culture is rotten and that’s because our representatives made it that way for their and their donor’s own personal gain.
You’ll never improve your country if you just go on looking for scapegoats rather than taking a cold hard look at what America is really all about. The first step is admitting you have a problem and you can’t do that.
This coming from the person who just told me that our leaders are “normal” and who’s trying to chastise me for trying to address the actual problem? That’s quite contradictory.
those that are opposing it
Show examples of meaningful opposition by corpo Dems. I’ll wait.
The 2020 election.
Ah yes, the Biden legacy of no-bid contract giveaways and failing to put up any guardrails against the stupid shit his predecessor got away with for four years. Big win there.
As opposed to the senile pedo or the black cop that spoke like an old white liberal?
The senile pedo won and is currently president
Can’t believe how easily he walked into that one.
And liberals claim they are different, they don’t mind senile pedos as long as it’s their senile pedo
Oh you’re just spreading conspiracies gotcha
Sure is interesting how you’re seeing a lot more of that same rhetoric ever since the Epstein files and they’re obvious cover-up has become bigger and bigger news. It’s almost like they were given marching orders.
I don’t know how you can look at all the pictures and video clips of Biden creeping on girls, read testimony from some of them from the past who have grown up, know that Epstein’s Island wasn’t some politically partisan affair (how the fuck did Trump suck off Bill Clinton at an Epstein event if Bill wasn’t there)… and decide that of all fucking people, Joe fucking Biden deserves the benefit of the doubt on being a pedo.
Hands down he was better than the sack of fat and bronzer we have now. That doesn’t mean he wasn’t an obvious as fuck pedo.
It is in fact possible to understand the horrors of the Democrat fuckstains while understanding the Republicans are monumentally worse.
It’s no conspiracy that this country was run by a senile pedo, now being run by another senile pedo.
That’s not a comeback, buddy
I wish I could upvote this again. It’s all they’re doing…blaming others.
They cannot take responsibility for it.
And they’ll repeat those same failures for midterms and 2028.
More than likely.
Democrats won’t run anyone who’ll bring in change, not enough will vote in primaries to put those who would bring change in and they’ll all shift blame from themselves for the actions their country takes under the current president, who they elected.
I almost forgot about pube racoon with horns.
“MAGA rioters?”
They were Insurrectionist Traitors, and every one of them should be in prison for decades, and prohibited from ever holding political office under 14A/S3. The leaders, including everyone who spoke at the pre-Insurrection rally, should be serving life in prison. A few should probably receive the Death Penalty.
The fact that nothing happened to the leader and there were no consequences to him spelt the mark of the beginning of the end of USA as we know it. Slowly it will slide deeper into fascism day by day until Trump is doing annexation like Hitler did. Trump is the embodiment of what America is and has become, the cumulative effect of themselves, their attitudes, their military, all on themselves now. America simply cannot sustain this for much longer. When Trump does, Vance will take up the reigns and I actually think he will be much worse than Trump as a leader.
USA will end up being split and broken up. Even right now we are seeing fractures on issues like CDC vaccinations and States Rights coming into play on how to vaccinate. Huge wars will take place to readjust human society to something liveable again by the 2060s. The 20s of every century has always been the starting point to shake up huge social issues and adapting to new technologies as a norm for the next 2 generations.
Valid. I wouldn’t be surprised to eventually see a Balkanization of America. It’s so huge, with widely varying climate and terrain, that there are wide swathes of population that have totally different needs.
The Northeast and West Coast would be the most likely breakaways.
Water supply is dire. The Colorado river is oversubscribed and most of the aquifers are being sucked dry for unsustainable agriculture. For the west coast (California) to break away it needs to take most of the Colorado river watershed with it. That means Utah, Colorado, and Arizona are critical.
It is pathetic that to this day Trump still whines about Biden. He can never get over losing to him.
My fact of the day calendar shows a US president being held accountable for something on the sixth of January.
I don’t think this is a coincidence.
I also like how it happens to be the feast of Epiphany so it just says “Epiphany” underneath the date. I’m just imaging some MAGA with this calendar reading that factoid and having an epiphany of their own. Yeah I know…not like it’d ever happen.
That would take far too much Critical Thinking on a MAGA’s part. Not exactly their skill set.
It’s already been 5 years… Goddamn.
Biden moved the ball on nothing, so here we are.
Yep. He took office with a Covid Vaccination plan, and an Economic Stimulus that both greatly exceeded expectations. For most presidents, that would have enshrined him in the Top 15.
But he also had to deal with the MAGA Problem, starting with holding them accountable, especially their ringleader. Instead, he appointed the most feckless Republican in existence to be his AG, who proceeded to dither and slow-walk the cases, giving MAGA a two year head start to run out the clock, which they successfully accomplished.
That will destroy Biden’s legacy, which he, and his cowardly administration, fully deserves. If a Dem ever becomes president again, they should immediately blacklist everyone from the Biden administration.
After Covid and the Economy, if Biden had dealt with the MAGA Treason with courage, strength, and decisiveness, he could have been Top 10. Instead, he’ll be bottom 15.
Right? Like I don’t like trump, but Biden did fuck all but slip into dementia, then they tried to slip in Kamala last minute and they are surprised they lost? Maybe if they had run a competitive candidate we wouldn’t be here.
But asking any political party to be responsible for their actions is too much to ask for.
You sound one breath away from “both sides!” Remember, one of them sucks, the other is straight evil.
One side wants, enables, and defends fascism. The other side only offers token resistance and refuses to allow any populist or progressive candidates onto the presidential ballot (remember when Bernie Sanders won the vote to be nominated in 2016 and the DNC said “no” and appointed Hillary Clinton anyway?). Biden promised to codify Roe v Wade, un-schedule cannabis, and forgive student loan debt. None of those things happened. Instead, corporations were given priority over the voters, on every issue, for another election cycle, so the hard Rs could continue their corporatism and fascism unimpeded as soon as they were elected again.
When the end result of electing one is corporatism and fascism, and the end result of electing the other is still corporatism and fascism, but four years later, who cares whether there’s any technical distinction between them?
Sucks is an understatement.
Look, there’s enough to go around. If anything, the horrid state of the Democrats should only highlight just how fucking bad the Republicans are.
Like, the bar was set down a mine shaft by the Democrats to begin with. What do you mean the Republicans reached the fucking planet core?
why would they? they’ve always played controlled opposition for each other, atleast since Neolibs came to power. that’s when “the line must go up” became more important than anything elss.
biden put mitch mcconnels hand-picked stooge in charge od the DoJ…lol, can’t make this shit up.
He lost, did this, then won. Oh, and don’t forget what he did in Venezuela. Two coups now.
Well, the second coup is well within American tradition at this point, so…
That doesn’t make it not a coup.
Sarcasm, my friend.
@Wara is a bot.
Sharing info about history is one of the better things a bot can do, then.
