Because they were US citizens. While the US has some pretty… ugly history. If you think Nazi Germany would have treated a random black citizen better than what they got in the US you are absolutely delusional. The only reason they weren’t sent to camps with the Jews was because the population was deemed too insignificant to be worth the effort.

“Oh, yeah? What are you going to do about it?”
(checks Constitution) “Oh…uhhh. I guess nothing?”
Impeachment, that’s what they’d do about it. But that would require politicians who do their job and also uphold the constitution. If the question is: what happens when everyone involved breaks the law and doesn’t do their job?
The answer is one of two things: the people vote them out.
If they are voted out but refuse to cede power peacefully, we end up with violence.
Nothing about the checks and balances are broken, what’s broken is the percentage of the population that just doesn’t care their representative isn’t actually doing their job.

Shockingly you won’t find a single republican on Trump ally on the list because those aren’t credible…
There’s 0 chance Johnson is going against Trump, this is all theater so when Trump’s name magically isn’t connected to Epstein they can pretend like it’s a legitimate list.

Personally drive a truck full of food/water/clothing for people displaced? Literally just show up and offer your condolences to your contituents (regardless of how obviously fake it’d be)?
Like, basic human things you should be doing to show that you care about the people you supposedly represent? Vs: fuck it, I’m on vacation, they’ll still be dead when I get home.
Guess what: politicians for all their grand standing about lazy entitled welfare recipients work about 130 total days a year, he can go see the parthenon some other time.

Truth Social - worth at LEAST $200B, which the government will pay direclty to Trump as compensation for making the platform the national social media platform of America.

It will literally never make it onto the streets in the US.
It wasn’t a file, it was a webpage. And it loaded infinite popups showing a dude’s gaping anus, turned the volume up to 100%, and played a loop of “Hey everyone, I’m looking at gay porno!”

Much like the US, they can simultaneously have an economy that SHOULD collapse, but also be so ingrained in global trade that nobody is actually willing to call them to the carpet.
If China were Greece, they’d probably have gone bankrupt multiple times already.
Why is the walking buddy holding hands? Are they letting you know Kevin is single and ready to mingle?

Literally went to high school with a kid who was insufferable, a prick to everyone. One day he started bullying one of my buddies who proceeded to beat the shit out of him. He told his football coach he ran into a mailbox on his bike when he had to explain his face looking like it did. After that he was the nicest kid ever - he realized “being tough” wasn’t all it was cracked up to be. I guarantee a few of these kids just need to get punched in the face one time and they’ll start rethinking the “alpha male” ideology.

Ignoring the fact you’re a troll: one of these countries was invaded, and is taking every measure possible to secure their continued existence. One of these countries invaded a sovereign nation, and is wasting citizen lives for no reason beyond an insane, expansionist dictator’s whims.
These are not the same, no matter how many times you try to spew the false equivalency.
Can we not pretend to be as dumb as the flat-earth tumpers?
Her family came out and stated she suffered from epileptic seizures, and believed that was cause of death. There’s literally nothing worse than the family having closure, and being continually harassed about the death of a loved one because of psychotic internet conspiracy theorists. There is no basement in this pizza parlor.

If you just took a shower and your balls are still “dirty” your problem isn’t the order in which you dry yourself.
If you can take a shower like a functional adult, it turns out skin is skin and wiping water off your ballsack is fundamentally identical to wiping water off the back of your hand.

Or running in the primaries if you didn’t like the people running?
The candidates don’t just magically appear on the ballot. What you’re complaining about is “the majority of people didn’t want something as progressive as I did so it was duress”.
“I’m not getting my way so it’s not fair” resonates about as much as “the election was stolen because my guy didn’t win”. Do you have the right to not vote at all? Sure. But then don’t say a fucking thing when the world around you is collapsing becuase the other guy is inifnitely worse than what you were too proud or stubborn to vote for.
Progressives who refuse to vote for a moderate because “compromise is a four letter word” are as bad or worse than the tea party morons who started the republican party down the path of fascism.

Ignoring the part where it’s not legal. He WILL be paying unemployment to all of them, and likely wrongful termination. Of course by “he” I mean “all of us” because it will be our tax dollars.
I wonder what the fuck he thinks would happen in this autocratic government he wants to live in if he said something the ruling party disagreed with? “Being fired” would be the least of his concerns.
Oh, right, per the interview he thinks an autocracy will perfectly align with all of his beliefs so he’ll be “protected”.
