Our country is being run by traitors and con men. We need Nuremberg style trials after they are out of power.

Edit: This is my first comment to blow up this hard. Thanks all for the awards!

The US are a joke. When it was about overthrowing a Democrat government with the benediction of Trump, a few thousand people almost succeeded. Now for a fascist government people are spineless.

Your president breaks laws every day without any check and balances. He betrays every alliance concluded with foreign countries when he's not being openly hostile towards them.

You had the Epstein files that in a normal democracy would have been enough to impeach your president. It never happened.

The orange turd will get away with it and all of his billionaires friends and family members too. Unless a real popular and democratic uprising happens justice will never be served.

The Orange Turd is untouchable. Their Supreme Court ruled that the President has complete immunity. It was decided that nothing will happen to him before he even took power again. And the Americans aren't going to rise up, their government has successfully domesticated the population.

The United States spent decades preaching to the rest of us about democracy and "freedom" just to turn around and reinvent the monarchy. Absolute hypocritical farse of a country.

It’s not a monarchy, but an oligarchy. It’s laughable to hear them accuse Ukraine of corruption and a lack of democracy😁

It’s a plutocracy; disguised as a democracy

Just wait until there’s a new president. The Supreme Court will decide that this presidency doesn’t have authority to order a pizza.

I thought his imunity only covered him while acting president? He could still spend the rest of his days behind bars for fucking kids back in the 90s. Don't give up hope. Fuck him hard, see how he likes it 😏

u/SMELLSLIKEBUTTJUICE 9h ago

They'll probably let him pardon himself. Which doesnt keep him safe from state charges, but the wheels of justice are slow and he is old so I dont have much hope

u/Turbulent_Gazelle530 9h ago

Just a thougt : if the president of the united states has complete immunity, whats stopping who ever comes after him Just throwing the cunt in prison? Or having him shot for treason?

Probably the current president if he successfully rigs the system the way his best friend Putin has

The final check and balance is the people and they'd rather stand idle.

The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.

u/rbmj0 10h ago edited 10h ago

That's demonstrably untrue.

What about all those weekend street dance parties? (record numbers, I'm told)

Have you considered the frog costumes?

I bet you haven't.

u/Just_Fuck_My_Code_Up 9h ago edited 9h ago

This issue is much older than Trump and MAGA. Nixon and Reagan committed treason, Bush Senior orchestrated the flow of crack into minority communities as head of the CIA, his son waged war based on proven lies. Nothing happened to any of them

u/eles- 9h ago

Check out Tomas Schuman (Yuri Bezmenov) to find out, where/when this started. Its no coincidence that what’s happening actually is happening right now.

He gave an interview )I think almost 50 years ago) where he breaks down what and how the KGB works and that they’re manipulating people over generations to foster a certain mindset within generations. We are seeing their plan working now.

He is only immune if the population allows it.

The United States spent decades preaching to the rest of us about democracy and "freedom" just to turn around and reinvent the monarchy.

This happened long before Trump, when Americans decided to vote for the children of previous presidents.

The American revolution really was an entire country protesting too much methinks.

u/bluelily216 10h ago

I have a question. Obviously your comment implies you don't live in the US, but you know a lot about how our government works. Were you taught in school? Did you learn about other countries as well? Or is your government similar to ours?

u/kingofcross 10h ago

I'm Canadian. I've spent alot of time in the US. Even then, we tend to know alot about our powerful, and now very aggressive neighbor to the south.

u/bluelily216 10h ago

I'm sorry. I've been trying to keep him out of office since he initially announced his run. It's always been obvious that he's a scumbag.

u/fluffyshys 10h ago

try and fight a government when thats exactly what they want. we either fight peacefully till the fight is possible. or we get slaughtered like sheep because were labeled as traitors. we can barely afford bills. health insurance. food. gas. and what can we do? get shot to death by the police? kidnapped by ice? how about lynched by the kkk. and what about those who can't live without basic needs? the elderly? children? if something were to happen now my family would start to die off. meds, power, water. gone.

we hate this more then you think. but what can you do when you have a knife to your throat? cameras on your garbage and mail trucks. and on every street corner. we are in a dark time. and many realize that we cant just stand up...

u/kingofcross 9h ago

I'm not even saying these things as an insult to the average American. I'm just making an observation, and the truth is that your country has successfully engineered a situation where it can easily quell major resistance. You mentioning barely affording bills and police violence is a testament of that.

Unfortunately the system has bent over backwards for Trump, I don't think you're going to be able to just vote your way out of this one. Not without some major changes to the system itself. And I think sooner or later, a fight is coming whether you guys want it or not.

u/voodoodahl 4h ago

The American people gave Trump and Republicans the power to do this. They even convinced the so-called smart people among us they were principaled in not voting to stop it. They've even created a fantasy of the other party being controlled opposition to save their precious ego from having to admit they helped usher in America fascism. 

At the end of the day We The People did this to ourselves.

u/IRGROUP300 11h ago

Rise up? Do you live in a video game? Loads of people just assume armed revolution is necessary.

A new president will arrive and we will vote for them.

u/kingofcross 11h ago

A new president will arrive and we will vote for them.

You mean that you will perform the meaningless ritual of choosing one of only two options, and nothing else will change.

And that's best case scenario, since the current clown in power has committed so many crimes while robbing you people blind and repeatedly demonstrated that he's done with democracy.

Like I said, domesticated.

u/IRGROUP300 10h ago

No, I mean vote for a new president. You’re making things up and clutching your pearls friend. Spend some time reading or visit before stating your opinions over an entire population.

u/kingofcross 10h ago

No, I mean vote for a new president

And if Trump and his administration has something to say about that? Then what?

What am I making up? Trump isn't trying to rig your upcoming midterm elections? He didn't try to overturn an election before? What's made up?

And I've visited plenty, I'm Canadian. Its not hard to visit. And why wouldn't I state my opinions over the country that's been threatening mine?
