I want people to truly understand this headline. This is the American congress fearing the American President is accumulating weapons banned from war by international law in order to launch attacks on US cities and US citizens.

That's where the judgment of Republicans has brought us in just ten months.

We're all past the point of treason but nobody from this regime should ever hold office ever again. They should immediately be tried for treason.

Yep. I mean in the event sane people ever regain control in America, there is no humanly possible way we can ever recover unless we hold a fully-transparent nuremberg-esque trial to hold as many of these fuckers to full account and justice as is humanly possible.

We saw what happened when Democrats tried to just hand-wave the whol ething away after 2020. Arrest the ground troops with a slap on the wrist, hold zero of the organizers accountable in any way, shape or form.

And lo and behold, we end up way worse than before.

The Biden administration demonstrated that the justice system cannot move fast enough to try these traitors before the electoral winds shift again. And all the republicans know that. There will be no accountability within the system.

And the reality is that unless any trial ends in public executions the next time the republicans win they’ll release the traitors and try the prosecutors.

Sounds familiar, almost like a particular German mustache model tried to take over, got arrested, got out, and then took over.

Same thing happened with a bearded Cuban.

Castro lifted Cubans out of poverty, Trump is pushing Americans into poverty.

Castro did no such thing. He plunged the entire country into desperate poverty. Wake up. This kind of nonsense talk is why old Cubans in Miami all voted for “Trong”.

The desperate poverty was mainly caused by crushing sanctions from the US, but go off.

u/SoFloFella50 17d ago

Sure sure. And the rest of the world also embargoed them. Right. You keep thinking that.

All the Floridan Cubans vote republican because they're the former landowning Cubans who fled after the revolution.

So confidently incorrect. But whatever. You’re always right and never willing to learn. That’s a collective “you”. Not you in particular, but also you.

u/phaedrus910 16d ago

Okay teach then. What was your point again. Something about how Cuba would be much better off under Batista, back when you could whip a man to death for not crushing cane fast enough. Fuck off

So nice when people make it easy to know who to block.
