Let's just have our Secretary of War & Lethality bomb them and hit the Spanish with every missile and munitions from our available stock.

We will teach thems Spanish not to mess with alpha macho American he men.

He does not have to be 'dead' to have the power removed from him.

He does not have to be a 'former' President.

We just will not break that programming that says we have to just sit and take all of this, and maybe one day hundreds of years from now someone will denounce his regime.

I am not willing to wait that long. I wish others were as resolute.

But, first we have to understand and acknowledge that our current 'unfettered capitalism and worship of the green god' is why we are here in the first place.

It is this system that gave us that tyrant. It is that system that gives us the inequity and bias in our very fabric.

It is a failed system, but the people who profit from it are going to prop it up and let us all die rather than allow it to change.

And, we are letting them.

The system certainly isn’t gonna work if people can’t be honest. Do you think we need a revolution? I think we just need to get rid of this monster, one way or another. After that, we can have our revolution

...and--one could argue--subservient to it.

This is why the Orange Abomination never needed to be a "good Christian" in the eyes of so many "Christians", but he needed to be a wealthy business man above all else. The "good works" of Christianity are completely secondary to the economy.

But capitalism is a sneaky religion of a different sort: it does not require churches built in its honor--it encourages you to build one in honor of yourself; it does not have scriptures and messages--it allows the world to express itself through trade; it does not seek justice or hold grudges against other people or religions--it allows the "free market" to do those things.

A modern human makes far more bank transactions than any other religious act. New homes, college degrees, medical care, and pleasure come not from prayer but from the bank. Humans may try to conflate the two by saying they prayed for the money and were rewarded, but we all know deep down that you can remove the prayer and still buy the house--while you can not pay for a house with only prayer.

But like all religions the outcome depends entirely on what humans do with it. We wake up today in a world built by capitalism. We enjoy a lot of what it has built, but we also suffer from its ills.

The sad reality is that we have not been taken over by a tyrant, but we elevated one of the high priests of capitalism to the highest political office we have--not to do any good works but to lower prices and create wages. For so many the heinous actions of this high priest--including sexual assault, theft, paying off a porn star, killing innocent children across the world, etc., were all just fine until gas hit $4 a gallon.

Capitalism--it turns out--does not move in mysterious ways.

The NATO Pact never dreamed some unstable Jackass in an oversized blue suit and red tie would try to boot another member over petty disputes.

We never did either.

Cheeto no doubt intends to emit some meaningless brain fart - ahem, "Truth Social" post - about the U.S. "now supporting Argentina's claim to the Falklands - Make Argentina Great Again!"

With Argentina's economy in an outright depression, that would be Milei's only hope - since another massive bailout would be bad timing to-say-the-least for the GOPee's own chances in '28.

As I recall, the only beneficiaries were Milei and his congresscritters - who "unexpectedly" won the midterms after Cheeto put his fat, Hepatitis-ridden thumb on the scale for them by threatening to "tank the peso" if Argentine's didn't vote for his party.

But here in the U.S. itself, that bailout cost Trump even more approval - and probably several Midwest seats come November.

The good folks in Argentina, Kansas, probably have half a mind to rename their town by now.

Aside from this being a thuggish threat to America's NATO allies, this shows jaw-dropping hypocrisy, even by MF47's standards.

Emperor tRump obviously wants Greenland. Does he also want to grab the British, Dutch and French dependencies in the Americas as well? Even the Monroe Doctrine left them alone.

And disappear whatever countries displease him from NATO. Would Congress have to approve such a thing? I can't believe even rethuglicans would go along with that.

I think Congress also has to vote on removing us from NATO.

Pouty’s probably whispering in his ear to do it.

this is their mentality, and that is so dangerous.

So this had to be political. No one wearing a uniform would argue this shit.
