Well it can’t have hurt that the beast owned a magical castle.
Kickforce@lemmy.wtfto politics @lemmy.world•Trump administration raises possibility of stripping Mamdani of US citizenship7·13 days agoPeople who saw project 2025 for what it was were not caught by surprise at all. Trump himself barely matters, it people like Peter Thiel and the heritage foundation who write policy. They need the US to fall apart and they don’t mind helping Putin a bit along the way.
Trump often reminds me of the Galactic President from the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.
“Only six people in the Galaxy knew that the job of the Galactic President was not to wield power but to attract attention away from it.”
So they choose someone flamboyant and zany and scandalous who will give the press nice headlines and good repeatable quotes.
Yeah it’s weird, and if there are elections popular opposition candidates will face a fate like mr Navalny, I’m afraid. Much as I would like AOC as a US president, I think at this point, she needs to run for her life rather than for president. And believe me, I truly hate that this is the case.
She is an amazing person and a fantastic leader. However she is the kind of person the fascists fear and she is also the right shade of skin to earn a one way ticket to El Salvador.
You see the people clamoring for the deportation of mr Mamdani, and he is at this point nothing more than one party’s possible candidate for mayor of one town. Imagine what would happen if ms Ocasio-Cortez were an actual presidential candidate!?
Even now I worry about her safety often. Same for that wonderful ms Crockett, mr Frost and a few others.

The word officer carries an idea that you adhere to certain rules and regulation. I know this is already pretty flakey with normal US police, ICE however seems to have less rules and procedure and common decency than a band of hells angels.
Pure gold right there!
Kickforce@lemmy.wtfto politics @lemmy.world•American Democracy Might Not Survive a War With Iran331·24 days agoBest outcome would be if Iran and the US took out each other’s government, but they always seem weirdly unwilling to go after the leadership if they have an option to kill soldiers and civilians instead, even when it’s clearly the leaders who pose a problem.
Kickforce@lemmy.wtfto politics @lemmy.world•Large Numbers in Congress Back Attack on Iran, Call for US to Support Israel61·1 month agoI would not trust US troops in Ukraine not to suddenly switch sides and shoot the Ukrainians in the back.
Kickforce@lemmy.wtfto politics @lemmy.world•Rep. Mary Miller loses it over 'a Muslim' speaking in Congress41·1 month agoI’d say that you are spot on and people in the West who want to believe in strange middle east cults can do so quietly at home and not bother anyone with their hokey faith. That goes for Muslims, Jews, Christians and the rest of them.
I’ve owned a few Volkswagens and yes when they are over 12:years old they start having issues, before that they never ever let me down.
Nothing wrong with German or French engines, but I admit British and Italian engines aren’t the greatest for not breaking down.
Tire sizes too? For some reason we get funny sizes for tires and bike frames in Europe. I don’t really know what they’re based on, they do seen to have some kind of connection to imperial/cistomary but I never really know how it’s measured.
Sounds like they wanted engines that work.
Kickforce@lemmy.wtfto politics @lemmy.world•Trump threatens to cancel Elon Musk's government contracts7·1 month agoMusk risks nothing because TACO.
Oh man I feel that one. I ride my bike fast. Like usually around 28 km/h. But some drivers get downright agressive, and really need to get past me especially when the need to turn into a habitation area in 100 meters.
Yeah, you are allowed to drive as fast as you like on some Autobahns, but if you have an accident and your speed is deemed to be faster than safe, the insurance companies are like “nah bro, you brought this on yourself”
Kickforce@lemmy.wtfto politics @lemmy.world•Trump State Department official has called for mass sterilization of ‘low-IQ trash’3·2 months agoI’m sure they can exclude more people by including questions like “who was the greatest general in the war of northern aggression”, and “what was that war about” and if your anwers aren’t Lee and states rights, you are clearly unfit to breed.
Kickforce@lemmy.wtfto politics @lemmy.world•Trump State Department official has called for mass sterilization of ‘low-IQ trash’5·2 months agoThey will start with saying that not being white is a clear sign of having a low IQ and start with those people.
Kickforce@lemmy.wtfto politics @lemmy.world•Trump threatens to move $3B in federal grants from Harvard to trade schools3·2 months agoLessons organized in cooperation with the internationally reknowned PragerU.
Could the bill be used to base measures on that help combat climate change? Sometimes idiots are actually useful.
