Honestly I’m so confused. New factions are spinning off by the hour. It’s wild.

Everyone:

please stop.

Tbh it was always broken - it’s just that it’s never been done this blatantly, contemptuously, and systematically before.

This is the firesale, and orangeboi et al are just vacuuming up every single cent they can wring from the wreckage that they’re turning our government and society into at breakneck pace.

Some ballsy journalist needs to set up a bait question to catch him in a lie or incriminating statement around this little episode. Or any other number of fully deserving examples.

And she also voted against releasing the Epstein documents. So, yeah, there’s that too.

For the record, MBDA has also stood up an assembly line for PAC-2 GEM-T missiles (amongst other things) in Schrobenhausen, Germany. So there’s at least an alternative supply line for that particular model. Yes I know the logistics are complicated and a lot of US components are still used, but worst comes to worst, I don’t think the EU would have too hard of a time finding regional alternatives if our government decides to pull the rug on technical support for that (which would have much greater and more far reaching implications than a single PAC-2 assembly line).

To wit: there’s a NY state law that makes it illegal for state officials to help shit-ass states like Texas follow through on legal threats like this within the context of the NY legal system. This is that law working as intended.

Or more succinctly: lick my taint, Ken Paxton, you fucking imbecilic psychopath.

I mean, yeah, it’s reasonable to check what the fascists are saying from time to time, but I honestly don’t take the vast majority of what something like The Daily Caller says seriously.

An adhd-haver who’s on their third cup of the day at lunch, and will have 3 more over the course of the afternoon.

…yyyyes? That’s what I was saying.

But I barely know her! 😱

They tried to, and tons of people immediately twigged to the fact that the footage was altered.

I want to believe this is going to start their house of cards collapsing, but unfortunately, I’m pretty certain most maga dipshits have skulls so thick that a GBU-57 would have trouble reliably impacting their trains of thought.

So, yeah, it was fucking dumb, and orangeboi is a categorical fucking imbecile, and it’s comically obvious that - up until about a week or two ago - he was infuriatingly russophilic, and disturbingly friendly with Putin.

With that said: it is also absolutely true that Biden slow-walking military aid for Ukraine (largely at the behest of his NS advisor, Jake Sullivan) was an absolute ass-tier strategic play. The constant haranguing of “oh, the F-16s are too complex” (they’re not), “oh, we don’t want to peeve the ruskies too much” (relying on scare tactics is one of the core elements of Putin’s geopolitical playbook), “oh, ATACMS would trigger a real response from Putin” (it didn’t), “oh, we didn’t mean THIS red line, we meant THAT red line” (hello, noncredible defense policy desk speaking, just a moment) has been, since very shortly after the start of the more active phase of the war in Feb 2022, deeply infuriating to a LOT of people, and it served as a milquetoast example of strategic leadership that the EU frustratingly refused to step beyond.

If orangeboi simply says “fuck it” and opens the floodgates for military aid… well, I will still fucking hate the guy for what he’s doing to my country by being in charge of it, but meaningful and significant aid to Ukraine is one hell of a silver lining. I was convinced Putin and orangeboi were just gonna try to slice Ukraine up like a Molotov Ribbentrop pie, but color me very pleasantly surprised that Putin’s intransigence has somehow actually gotten orangeboi to completely lose his patience with Russia.

So it’s specifically this sort of shit that makes me want to fuck off from the US for good. I don’t think I can mentally handle dogmatically voting idiots of this caliber and prevalence.

Well, have you considered that perhaps that’s the point?

In the beginning was the Creation of the Universe. This has made a lot of people angry, and has been widely regarded as a bad move.
