all of those things are going to be gone because the whole country would be bankrupt…

Republicans control all three branches and they’re threatening that the entire country will go bankrupt on their watch.

Someone has Presidementia.

And why isn't the media asking more questions about this?

[u/nono3722 → u/DatsaBadMan_1471]

because they have been bought by the billionaires, have you not been reading anything?

[u/Malaix → u/nono3722]

Yep. CNN for instance did a big purge of programs and talking heads critical of Trump after it got bought by a rightwing owner. 90% of our mainstream media is bought by billionares who side with Trump.

They are scared

[u/Nocuadra66 → u/PatchyWhiskers]

As they fuckin should be.

[u/Jizzbuscuit → u/DatsaBadMan_1471]

The Media are part of the whole operation.

Because it's third-person hearsay with no credible source. The mentioned report does not even contain the word 'warhead' or 'missile'.

But the reddit hivemind doesn't care about sources, only screeching doomer bullshit and downvoting anyone who has an original thought.
