So Democrats are going to act now? Or just everyone tweet the same image and do nothing while oligarching?
only it took you dumb fucks 39 days to figure it out.
In fairness, so did a large portion of Americans. Unfortunately, half of us are dumb as fuck and still won’t believe it.
We knew this during his first term.
Yeah but they were hampered by pesky laws and rules last time
Putin was still pretending he wasn't going to start a global war before he died, that time though
So, fucking do something about it.
Not too much can be done, since a ton of the country sat with their thumbs up their asses instead of voting. Republicans control all three branches of government now.
In two years, after permanent damage has been done to the government, the climate, and the economy, we may have another shot at at least slowing things down via Congress IF people actually vote for sane people.
And in four, potentially a new presidency and Congress. But that could be dicy, since there's going to be little stopping corrupt officials from screwing with democratic safeguards now that the government is teeming with freaks and degenerates under its skin.
Aside from lawsuits from Democrats, I think the federal government is going to be in complete freefall for the next two years, bare minimum. Thanks fascists and nonvoters. You really fucked the entire world this time. Fucking malicious idiots.
In two years there might not be elections.
Is your plan to just lay down and die?

Got any suggestions?
I do, some less savory ones but the "correct" ones are to unite and help, via a grassroots movement to mobilize the population. Show solidarity, and help groups organize to defend democracy.

Ever notice how when democrats are in power you never catch republicans being like “well what are we supposed to do?” They do absolutely everything in their power to continue to push their agendas. The Democrats and other liberals should stop being big useless babies and actually DO WHAT THEY WERE ELECTED TO DO IDK

No lies detected!
Oh no accusations! We've got them now!
The neutered arm of the government should remain quiet about the ‘arm of Kremlin’ until they decide to actually do something about it.
Saying the emperor has no clothes (or his clothes are made in Moscow) is the first step in doing something about it. If we all keep quiet and just go along with authoritarianism, then the fight will be over before it starts.

And now his dod chief says they are discontinuing the US cyber operations against Russia.
..and they just ended aid to Ukraine.
Trump is a Russian agent and the Kremlin dictates U.S. policy.
Yeah. Shame we can't get the military to oust his sorry ass
Or, failing that, any of those 2nd ammendment enthusiasts.
That pee tape must be fucking bonkers.
Any blackmail tape doesn't explain everyone else also following in step.
Remember when the DNC emails got hacked and released? They weren't the only party who got hacked.

Keep it up and it will be the leg too.
Got em!
NO SHIT SHERLOCK to ∞ and beyond.
McCarthy is turbo-rolling in his grave right now. The cemetery ground trembles from the diesel storm raging beneath.
I dunno, I think he would probably like Putin and Trump. He wasn’t against fascism.
“And what are you gonna do about it?” - Putin, probably
Arm of Knesset lashes out at arm of Kremlin.
