If the usa turned inward on itself any more it would become a black hole.

I’m no fan of dhs. But on a national scale. On a world scale, This is insane and dangerous. It’s mind blowing how badly our government is behaving and the short sightedness of it all. Multiple countries at war or on the verge of war. Elimination of usaid and most foreign aid. Intelligence organizations decimated by layoffs and budget cuts. Internal conflicts rising and dissent growing. A paramility forming that can ignore our internal rules and arrest people on a whim…

This is what happens when the people in charge have no idea what they are doing.

This will take decades to sort out. Maybe more. And we have years more of exactly this sort of behavior.

The American empire is falling. Torn apart from the inside by greedy madmen.

As an American, I can’t say I’m thrilled about it. But God damn it is happening quickly.

This brings me joy.

Nothing is better than getting under his skin.

Oh the story of Israel’s nonsense over the past 60 plus years is so messed up. I made the comparison in jest, but it’s crazy.

They really are the worst ride or die ally of all time. And the geopolitical math hasn’t made any sense since the cold war ended. Unless you have a secret religious need for the end of days.

Ever heard the saying, “spare the rod, spoil the child”?

This is what happens. Your kid turns into a fuckin bully that punches above his weight because his dad is a cop and no one wants to stand up to him.

And now he’s brought a Glock to school.

Hawkeye: War isn’t Hell. War is war, and Hell is Hell. And of the two, war is a lot worse.

Father Mulcahy: How do you figure, Hawkeye?

Hawkeye: Easy, Father. Tell me, who goes to Hell?

Father Mulcahy: Sinners, I believe.

Hawkeye: Exactly. There are no innocent bystanders in Hell. War is chock full of them - little kids, cripples, old ladies. In fact, except for some of the brass, almost everybody involved is an innocent bystander.

Done, and link forwarded to my non Lemmy using selfhosting mentor. Maybe can get at least one more respondant. Maybe more. Good luck!

All things considered, color me impressed if in 60 days the number is half that.

My local NPR station has already sent an email out to all it’s underwriters and sponsors about this threat.

I would say that every public radio station has little faith in Congress at this point. Having worked myself in public radio for several years, I would say that their concern is completely justified.

I’ll be increasing my donation this month. And the next.

P.T. Barnum in his grave getting a full on chubby for all the suckers that go for this shit
