    Reminds me of Futurama:

    Some soldier: Why is this godforsaken planet worth dying for?

    Zapp Brannigan: Don’t ask me, you’re the one who’s going to be dying.

  • I remember watching TV shows and the president is often portrayed as a good person that would rather risk classified tech falling into the hands of enemies just to save the one remaining service member on the sinking ship/submarine…

    Then you look at IRL and rewatch that scene and its just so silly lmao, completely unrealistic.

    (I think it was Designated Survivor that I remember that scene from)

    IF ONLY we get those benevolent fictional presidents IRL

    I was always taught that lives such as mine being spent was an inevitable part of my profession. However, lives are not meant to be wasted like this.

    How a PTSD-tormented vet hasn’t plugged this cunt yet is beyond me. He’s said at least a dozen things in the last 10 years that would justify it. I mean he let the fact that there were Russian bounties on US service members go completely unanswered. Nevermind the repugnant things he says about them, he lets them be the target of headhunting sociopaths because he’s too much of a fucking pussy to say a single word against Putin.

    Signing up for military service under Trump is insane in the membrane.

      Remember when undercover agents suddenly started dying left and right after he “stored” the country’s top secret files in his Mar-a-Lago bathroom? Absolutely insane that there are still so many active military and vets supporting this waddling liability.

      lost track on how many MAGAs attempted to murder him already. I think 3 attempts so far.

      but they are MAGA, so not the most competent or smart people

        I suspect that a fair number of Iranians will be joining ICE, and be deporting Trump from this mortal coil not long after.

      The bounty thing was never confirmed. That’s why Biden didn’t do anything about it either.

      They still think the same strategy that supposedly helped Obama to beat Mitt Romney (“they go low, we go high”) will also beat Trump.

      I’m not trying to be demeaning, this isn’t a rhetorical question. Seriously, what sort of logistical miracle would it take for this? America is fucking huge and that would take organization and I have no ideas.

      I’m beyond hope for peaceful OR violent change. The only future I’m seeing is collapse and the subsequent corporate cyberpunk nightmare that will devour what remains.

        First,  small groups of armed militias need to form at a local level. Then they would need to communicate and organize to travel on a certain date and just show up.

        I think we will see many middling nations appear after America breaks up, eventually resulting in all the smaller ones getting gobbled up. Mexico, Canada, New York, and California would probably be rival nations after awhile.

          Well the president organized an insurrection.
          They had someone plan the date for them. The DNC won’t even plan something more than brunch.

    He’s a narcissistic psychopath. That means his brain is literally incapable of processing empathy, let alone understanding it.

    ICE Apes should be dispatched to assist our Freedom Fighters in Iran. Put them right up front, where the action is. They love that shit.

      “You ever fired a blaster at a living target?”

      “Hahaha! All the time! I was the top womp rat hunter in my unit.”

      “No, I mean a sentient being. Something that could shoot back.”

      “No, I guess I never have.”

      “You must be joking. How long has it been since you graduated?”

      “Over a year.”

      “What have you been doing all this time, looking the other way?”
