Arm of Knesset lashes out at arm of Kremlin.

only it took you dumb fucks 39 days to figure it out.

[–] customcombos@lemm.ee 7 points 17 hours ago

In fairness, so did a large portion of Americans. Unfortunately, half of us are dumb as fuck and still won’t believe it.

[–] Professorozone@lemmy.world 6 points 15 hours ago

Oh no accusations! We've got them now!

[–] Bluefalcon@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 14 hours ago

No lies detected!

We knew this during his first term.

[–] DicJacobus@lemmy.world 3 points 16 hours ago

Putin was still pretending he wasn't going to start a global war before he died, that time though

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 5 points 18 hours ago

Yeah but they were hampered by pesky laws and rules last time

[–] WrenFeathers@lemmy.world 11 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

The neutered arm of the government should remain quiet about the ‘arm of Kremlin’ until they decide to actually do something about it.

[–] witten@lemmy.world 8 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Saying the emperor has no clothes (or his clothes are made in Moscow) is the first step in doing something about it. If we all keep quiet and just go along with authoritarianism, then the fight will be over before it starts.

[–] WrenFeathers@lemmy.world 0 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Soooo…. What about the past decades where we weren’t quiet?

[–] Sturgist@lemmy.ca 1 points 10 hours ago

Thing is.... it's never one and done. You show up, you make yourself heard, you take action....and you keep fucking doing it....

McCarthy is turbo-rolling in his grave right now. The cemetery ground trembles from the diesel storm raging beneath.

[–] hopesdead@startrek.website 6 points 22 hours ago

Keep it up and it will be the leg too.

And now his dod chief says they are discontinuing the US cyber operations against Russia.

[–] PortoPeople@lemm.ee 4 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

..and they just ended aid to Ukraine.

Trump is a Russian agent and the Kremlin dictates U.S. policy.

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago

Yeah. Shame we can't get the military to oust his sorry ass

[–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 160 points 1 day ago (3 children)

So, fucking do something about it.

[–] Wahots@pawb.social 51 points 1 day ago (9 children)

Not too much can be done, since a ton of the country sat with their thumbs up their asses instead of voting. Republicans control all three branches of government now.

In two years, after permanent damage has been done to the government, the climate, and the economy, we may have another shot at at least slowing things down via Congress IF people actually vote for sane people.

And in four, potentially a new presidency and Congress. But that could be dicy, since there's going to be little stopping corrupt officials from screwing with democratic safeguards now that the government is teeming with freaks and degenerates under its skin.

Aside from lawsuits from Democrats, I think the federal government is going to be in complete freefall for the next two years, bare minimum. Thanks fascists and nonvoters. You really fucked the entire world this time. Fucking malicious idiots.

[–] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 3 points 21 hours ago

Because over half of this country has been convinced that acting against their own interests is in their own interests as long as they "win" some fantasy game. "We showed them!"

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 3 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

They can vocally and actively criticize the DNC leadership for being controlled opposition. Bernie is doing it, why isn’t everyone else?

In two years there might not be elections.

Is your plan to just lay down and die?

People need to prepare for the violence that is coming. Really worried this could get really ugly. Lets hope not.

I do, some less savory ones but the "correct" ones are to unite and help, via a grassroots movement to mobilize the population. Show solidarity, and help groups organize to defend democracy.

Ever notice how when democrats are in power you never catch republicans being like “well what are we supposed to do?” They do absolutely everything in their power to continue to push their agendas. The Democrats and other liberals should stop being big useless babies and actually DO WHAT THEY WERE ELECTED TO DO IDK
