Madness inflicting the nation as the mad king takes his throne. Trump isn’t even remotely equipped to handle this. I wonder what happens when the right turns on him.
Musk/Vance 2024? Or do they even wait that long? They could put Trump out to pasture in his golf courses and run the country. Maybe let one of his criminal cases play out. A state one they technically can’t control.
You might know this and I'm missing the sarcasm, but Musk can't be president (or VP). He's not a native born citizen. President is one of the few places where being a naturalized citizen isn't enough.
Laws are words written on a piece of paper (or digital documents). They cannot enforce themselves. They are not magical. They will not protect you.
Kinda says a lot about the US military that a supposedly well trained soldier - green berets are supposed to be fairly elite right? - couldn't figure out how to build a bomb beyond just stuffing a car with whatever random flammables they could find
Says a lot you can't see he didn't want to make a huge explosion.
Mission accomplished then. Still not sure what that ever was. Still not sure how this is supposed to “wake” anyone up.
This dude was a fucking moron either way.
Getting more press than the guys lighting themselves on fire outside the supreme court - so the wife beater has a point there.
US: "5 more minutes, Dad."
The egregores, Wyrms no longer content to lurch below, animate wielded flesh to strike with venom and abandon.
Did you just activate a sleeper agent somewhere on Lemmy?
Longing. Rusted. Seventeen. Daybreak. Furnace. Nine. Benign. Homecoming. One. Freight car.
"Woke"
"Not a terrorist attack" -- um detonating a bomb in a public place to get attention for a political purpose is basically the definition of a terror attack. Using fear to stop your opponents from opposing your favored political despots. Not to mention that even if there weren't many injuries, the people who breathed the fumes from those batteries burning likely will develop cancer including the firefighters. And the cost of cleaning that up falls on the people who live there. Not exactly a beneficial act.
The media treating this as a patriotic act is just going to encourage copycats. And this guy was a bomb expert, but failed to realize that the temperatures he was creating would vaporize the fireworks, not shoot them off. If an expert could make that kind of mistake, just imagine the mistakes that will be made by the copycats. Look forward to many casualties from "patriotic" terrorists.
