    The owner class and their government muppets are flexing right now as if they want to inflame tensions.

    Or are they not reading the room?

      They have learned over decades that they can do whatever the fuck they please. They don’t need to read the room, nothing is gonna happen to them anyway. Also, the public just voted their mascot into the White House for 4 years despite 34 convictions, so they are truly invincible and they know.

          If he lives that long.

          Despite all the shitty AI pictures of him with abs, the guy is still old as fuck and in terrible health.

            His children aren’t tho and I’ve got a bad feeling this is going to be the start of some twisted fucked up monarchy.

              I have no doubt they’d try.

              But, other people in his party will try to fill the void too, and none of them or his kids have the horrid charisma that he does.

          It was a bit of a struggle getting him out last time, wasn’t it?
          I think we should compromise, let him stay but force an agreement that he’s not allowed back in once out.

        Over decades, more like since before the constitution was written. Shays’ rebellion and probably years before that.

        The internet would never condone targeted violence as that is a violation of ToS, sir, but we also don’t have to have any sympathy for Brian “the Parasite” Thompson.

          All I am saying is that if you see a dog snarling, don’t poke it with a stick. It seems … ill advised.

            Sir, the elites are literally bringing out the sticks for since these dog appearing to be losing their obedience…

            A few years back during COVID some dude got to TV to tell us how a hungry dog is obedient dog. We just accepted it and I died a bit on the inside then.

            But I am proud to be an American again now, at least where we known dead CEOs is a thing!
