I want you to hate America as much as I do.

Isn’t it more like how a rock is immune to being puked on?

It’s still covered in vomit and can make other people sick, it just can’t get sick from it.

Ojalá

Let them eat each other.

I’m sorry, you want them to have plausible deniability?

I want him to rub people’s noses in it. We are the bad guys.

Yeah, the US and its puppets say the election was stolen!

Not just complicity, active collaboration and co-conspiracy.

It’s not exactly a lie.

The value of the US dollar, in part, comes from selling oil in USD. Every oil source that exists outside of the dollar market hurts the value of the dollar, and sanctions on Venezuela have been encouraging oil investment and sales in yuan instead of dollars. That’s partially where the inflation came from, demand for dollars by oil traders has fallen, which means stopping this leak.

Although electrification continues, which also weakens demand for oil traded in dollars, and obviously there’s Russia and the other sanctioned countries who don’t trade in dollars. The age of oil wars paying for themselves is probably ending.

The US has been stomping on international law my entire life.

As opposed to all the other times the US removed a sovereign foreign leader? I can name more than half a dozen off the top of my head and I know there’s way fucking more than that that I’d have to look up to remember. Same as it ever was.

lol i was totally right

That’s a no, isn’t it?

Have you actually read anything that wasn’t assigned in school?

I’m 60/40 thinking Trump is going to win here, because there’s no one to actually oppose him. In other cases where he’s tied up in court it’s because there’s political opposition. Who opposes this? A few progressives? It’s almost a bipartisan consensus.

They can also fast-track cases from the lower courts to accelerate them to the Supreme Court, and have done so. Another trick they have is to make an interim ruling without issuing a majority opinion through the so-called “shadow docket”. Then they can have the whole trial while the circus in the lower courts plays itself out. He could be in prison for years before they rule it unconstitutional.

Assuming Trump doesn’t push for public execution.

The lower courts can meaningfully delay Trump, but that lasts until it reaches the Supreme Court. The rigged 6-3 fascist Court almost always either rules in his favor, or delays an official ruling to let him get away with whatever he’s doing.

Trump has shown a tendency to just ignore procedure and just do whatever he wants. The only reason he wouldn’t be able to do that is if he was opposed, but who is going to oppose it? There’s a few Democrats, but not even a majority of the electeds. I doubt there’s a single Republican that’d oppose. Would the Supreme Court stop him?

I think he can make this as big and stupid as he wants, and unless the masses protest against it he’ll get away with it.

Unlike Vietnam, there are millions of people in the US that are either from or that have close family in Latin America. That’s why they spent the last year trying to deport and terrorize migrants, why they want to go after naturalized citizens, why they talk about going after “home growns” after they’ve finished rounding up the migrants, etc etc. It’s all laying the groundwork for this next stage.

We’ll see how well it works. I think they’re moving too fast and it’s going to blow up in their faces.

You’re already in one.

The Hellmouth.
