The USA has much different motivations than Hitler.

The USA (by this I mean those who control our government financially, Trump is a goon) doesn’t want to wipe out it’s own population. There’s no desire for “breathing room”, there’s a massive amount of comparatively empty land.

You’re expendable, but unless you make things expensive for someone, the USA is fine with you being a consumer and drone. You are still generating wealth for the system, and there’s no reason to spend the money to load you into a train. You generate more wealth than you consume.

They don’t care enough to bother killing you, you’re not a threat to them. (by “you” I mean the average American voter). Democrats or Republicans are consumers only, they’re not capable of changing the political system in any way.

It’s a massive “political playpen” without an option to threaten Amazon.

If you’re right, they’ll immediately start loading thousands of people like you and me into trains after they “seize power”. If I’m right, the Democrats will “win” a narrow majority and immediately call a recess. WOW THAT WAS CLOSE OKAY RECESS

“We solemnly promise to declare recess, make insider information trades, raid welfare funds, and take donor-paid-for vacations”

thunderous applause

You don’t have to be a Marxist to admit that Marx had good points.

Kramer is having what is called a “moment of clarity”

It’s not contrary to the church’s teachings.

Evidence in support of my position: Centuries of the Pope being totally fine with mass executions and murder. Also, Holy Bible. Yes, it does say “do not kill”, it also says “kill”.

For example, it says to honor your mother and father, and it says that parents should murder their disobedient children by stoning.

Then, it says “don’t kill.”

So, it’s more like ‘don’t kill*’. But they had not invented asterisks yet.

It’s almost as if different people wrote different parts of the Bible, and it’s a contradictory mess.

Anyway, if you can’t follow orders, don’t join the military. Following orders is, like, the most important part.

If you ever think we’re a democracy, keep in mind over 90% of Democrats, 60% of Independents, and even 40% of Republicans want universal healthcare, and they’ve wanted it for decades.

Nothing fancy, just something every country in the EU has, and Japan, and Korea, and Australia and Canada, etc.

But, for some mysterious reason, the USA can’t get it done. It’s one of the greatest mysteries of science.

On a side note, did you know…

During the 2018 election cycle, members of this industry gave $225 million to federal candidates, outside money groups and parties.

Of course the federal criminal investigation is opaque. They all are; if they were transparent, everyone involved would flee justice and destroy evidence. Ramirez is a rep and should know better.

Anyway, I’m all for the deconstruction of our layers of police state, this is something that progressive dems and classic conservatives can agree on (and everybody in between).

I like police, I’m just not into multiple different agencies doing the same work. It’s redundant and it costs billions, we don’t need US Border Patrol, ICE, and Department of Homeland Security. Just local and FBI is sufficient.

However, Omar is a thief, and she should be investigated thoroughly, she stinks of corruption and rot. She had no money in 2018 when she was elected, now 8 years later she’s a multi-millionaire. She’s knee deep in welfare fraud, with her friends already serving decades behind bars for stealing tens of millions of dollars from the welfare system.

She’s stealing from the most vulnerable of people, the very people that she should be helping.

… and when Democrats take the majority in a couple weeks, they should also root out and arrest every corrupt Republican that they can (instead of sitting on their ass like they did when Biden was in office). I’m fine with bOtH pArTiEs investigating the other. More of this.

Sorry, Omar, but when you steal millions of dollars from the taxpayers, you may actually have to put up with the indignity of search, seizure, arrest, and sometimes, just sometimes, a prison sentence.

Omar was financially challenged before “serving” in congress, now she’s a multi-millionaire, she’s one of them. Search “Omar Minnesota Somalia welfare fraud” for more details on this corruption; others are sitting in prison right now for their part in it. It’s Omar’s turn (hopefully, but I won’t hold my breath).

She’s everything wrong with our politicians today, greedy and corrupt.

If you cheer Republican raids and arrests, and booooo Democratic raids and arrests (or vice versa), you now understand why your fellow voters are abandoning your major parties in droves. This is why Ds and Rs are only 29% of registered voters each.

The other 42% of independent Americans want ALL corrupt politicians out of office and serving time, regardless of party affiliation.

I’m happy that Republicans are cleaning the house (regardless of their true motivation, because we all know it’s not ‘justice’), and I hope and pray that Democrats do the exact same thing to Republicans when they take the majority.

Make politicians afraid to steal again.

Payday is every day. they don’t stop receiving “donations”. Ever.

Bet your ass they will.

Republicans depend on the “good cop” to “save the day” by taking office and “fixing” things by rolling the gains back a bit (but not reverse anything).

… just as Democrats depend on Republicans to blame for their “failures” (like when they pretend to try and raise minimum wage).

You must be new to US politics. It’s a tag team. Watch and see.

Search “Omar Somalia Minnesota welfare fraud”.

I realize it’s not spoken of here, but it’s a real case with prison sentences and everything.

Removed by mod

She’s a thief and a dirtbag. I feel as bad for her as I did for Trump when they searched Mar-A-Largo, i.e. not at all, cry more.

She had no money when she took office, now she’s a millionaire! Maxine Waters Jr.

Search ‘Omar Minnesota Somalia welfare fraud’ for more details. Other people have been sent to prison for decades over this already, but she has “congressional plot armor”.

I wasn’t expecting that specific attack in that exact way, but of course I expected “an attack”.

To me, an attack is the exact opposite of interesting… it’s mundane. The USA sends hundreds of drone strikes alone every year.

USA vs. Iran goes back eighty years.

Other mundane (or interesting, depending) predictions for the next year using my advanced psychic powers:

Russia will attack Ukraine.

Ukraine will attack Russia.

The USA will strike Iran

Iran will strike the USA

Israel will strike HAMAS

HAMAS will strike Israel

Iran will attack Israel

Israel will attack Iran

https://www.britannica.com/topic/US-Iran-Relations-A-Timeline

It was provoked. Iran provokes the USA constantly.

(provoke= attack of US holdings, US doesn’t like it when you blow up their things)

And the USA provokes Iran constantly. If anyone gets lazy with security in Iran’s government, the USA kills them with a drone strike. And, we blow up their things, too (I’m including Israel with USA in that “we”)

This isn’t an “Iran vs. USA thing”. It’s “Israel, USA, Saudis, and more” against “Iran, Lebanon, Syria, and more”. It’s been escalating for years and years, slowly but surely. Iran funds HAMAS, Hezbollah, and various rebel groups, and the US does the same (for Kurds et al).

All of these groups are fighting in Syria and elsewhere in middle east. There are at least a dozen different factions fighting in Syria right now. Hundreds of thousands of people have died.

I encourage you to look at the recent history (and further back, decades). Neither country (including proxies) can say that they haven’t provoked the other with frequency.

Why they don’t call it WWIII, I have no idea.

Iraq was a surprise (to many, anyway)

Iran, everyone in USA has been aware of our pending fight with Iran for the past 50 years or more. Iran and USA have rattled sabres regularly, you’d have to be totally disconnected from US foreign affairs to be unaware of this. It has been expected.

We’ve been at war with Iran for decades, using drones and missiles and jet fighters and even putting boots on the ground. Iraq was our proxy state who received military equipment and chemical weapons from us to fight in the 80 and 90s (at least).

More than these three countries are involved in the war. Some have even switch sides. Just like USA isn’t just the USA, and uses other states to fight, so does Iran.

I don’t agree that a murderer can’t say their motivation, but when someone has shot someone else six times and we all know that they did it, just stay in prison. You chose to fill the victim full of lead because you’re a dangerous weenie, and you’re too dangerous to live with the public.

You can’t have been too scared of them if you were in a long-term relationship, and you’re a murderer. Sit in prison and rot.

$100K? Nobody in either party cares, she’ll be fine.

$100K for them is like $10 for us. The last election BoTh PaRtIeS made around a billion dollars. That we know of. So… $10 billion, easy.

Super PACs eliminate the need to bribe officials, now the pipeline is wide open (Citizens United court decision)

She might have to pay a fine or something. Which means we are paying the fine.

They partied on Trump’s victory platform, too.

In 2028 when Democrats “take” Presidency, tech billionaires will party with the Democrats. Of course they are celebrating. They win.

(if the USA isn’t a plutocracy, there is no such thing. This is as plutocracy as it gets. They don’t hang up a sign that says “Plutocracy!”)

Ha, yeah, I read it.

Just like eight Democrats “ran counter to their own Democratic party” with the last lame half-assed “attempt” to pass minimum wage.

No generalizations were made. The Democrats have betrayed their own constituents again. It’s a statement of fact.

You know what sucks? When someone doesn’t know what a “generalization” is.

They have enough.

We’ve been told that they will run out for five years. Still going.

(they also won’t run out of missiles and artillery shells, in spite of news stories to the contrary).

They might run out in the future, who knows? We’ll all be able to tell pretty quickly when they do, because Putin will die.
