Full Report: From Vanity to Insanity: How the White House Cheated the American People Out of Their 250th Birthday.
Today, House Natural Resources Committee released a new 55-page report following months of investigative work by Committee Democrats exposing how Donald Trump hijacked what was supposed to be a unifying, non-political celebration of our country’s 250th birthday and made it all about him – his vanity projects, his political and religious agenda, his business ventures, and his cronies who gorged on public funds under cover of a shadow corporation shielded from public scrutiny.
“What did the Nobles do that caused the Peasants to starve besides demand only the tax the King required?”
This is what you sound like. I need you to think a little bit beyond the world you live. The authority you’re trying to appeal to no longer exists. Trump is not some unique special boy that gets to break all the rules and then we go back to normal after we punish him. That’s never going to happen. If we pretend and play that game, another fascist will rise. The systems you’re talking about are not returning. They are broken beyond repair. Radical actions of the far right got us here. You don’t undo that with more liberal bourgeoise democracy. Radical changes are required to undo the fascism that controls our businesses and our government.
The world I am describing where the left has power is one where the politicians ARE held to account for their social crimes of genocide. We WOULD arrest them for their votes to send weapons to support genocide.
I knows it’s hard to imagine a world without a King, Nobles, and Peasants.
Except reps aren’t nobles. We voted for them and they voted for genocide. So are you going to hold every voter responsible? We didn’t do anything different than they did. We all just voted and people died. Are we going to throw everyone who ever voted for Biden AND Trump into jail? Does that sound like a practical solution? No?
Yes, of course I want the right punished. Trump and his cabinet should never see the outside of a cell again. Of I had my choice ever Trump supporter would have their citizenship stripped and would only have it back when they learned what being a citizen actually means.
I’m all for treating Israel as a state that enacted genocide and prosecuting its officials and military as war criminals. But that is for the international community, not just us. America acting as world police is part of the problem.
Do you want me to pretend you are too dumb to understand the difference between
Because if I’m gonna reply to what you wrote I have to pretend you’re that dumb and then attempt to explain it to you. I really don’t want to have to do that. I’d rather you admit you’re just lost in a slippery slope fallacy and trying to equate two things that are entirely different.
I really hope you are not dumb enough to see them as equivalent just because they both use the word “vote”. I’d rather assume you’re just arguing in bad faith.
Like it or not, you are responsible for who you vote for. Perhaps I have a different definition of responsibility than you do. Voting for a rep who has been openly supportive of Israel which has been oppressing and abusing Palestinians for decades is responsibility in my book. Oct 7 wasn’t the beginning of something new. It was just what made people notice.
So you’re actually dumb enough to try to equate voting for a representative and voting for literal weapons funding during a genocide?
Like, we’re having a conversation about punishment for war criminals that took direct actions to support a genocide; and you’re trying to make this false equivalency for some reason.
I’m not sure why you even are trying to equate them.
Even in something like murder we have different degrees. Even our flawed justice system understands there are differences of intention. Why do you keep pretending to be dumb and not understand what I’m saying? Do you want to punish voters? I’m so confused.
