Trump needs to go to prison now.
He needed to go to prison on January 7th, 2021 with his trial starting the next day, and immediately barred from running for office under the 14th amendment of the US constitution regardless of the outcome of his trial or any pardons.

If I had a dollar for every time on Lemmy that I encountered a mysognistic CS student that thinks they know more than they do, I would now have a dollar. And that’s quite a fucking shame, considering I’ve been here for years.
The industry you’re trying to break into was founded by women, LGBT folks, and people who envisioned technology as a path towards the betterment of humanity. Do better. You’re acting like a disgrace to its legacy.

I stand corrected. And it sat dormant until 2 hours ago. Whatever the reason for that is is irrelevant, but you’re clearly here to fuck with people.
So, from American, I say you’re welcome to move here and enjoy the fall of this empire in real time with us. Until you do that, stfu about how wonderful life would be with a senior citizen with onset dimentia sunsetting before the world’s eyes while he unleashes his own private thug army to destroy people’s lives.
You literally have no idea what you’re talking about. You are believing media instead of looking into where your wages are going and getting involved.

There is a difference between the America of 30 years ago and now that you may not realize. You reference housing and yeah 30 years ago you could afford housing (possibly) but now private equity has purchased housing so new home ownership is getting impossible. You mentioned American laptops (made in China) and operating systems (Linux is from Finland), but the breakthroughs that allowed for current American tech dominance were based on policies that have been dismantled and now currently exist due to monopolies. We are on a downward trend over here where we are living off the accomplishments of old. Think about it like IBM. They were a tech powerhouse until they moved to being a services company and then became a shadow of their former self. They still exist and are a big company but nothing compared to what they were. That’s America now. Australia has the potential to take the reins if they DO NOT follow the current US example as do many other countries.
I submit that you have no fucking clue what America is supposed to be, and that you’re just getting your jollies off of parroting jingoistic conservative dogma.
You couldn’t leave, you’d be less than a territory, at best. You’ll get no representation, no voting rights and certainly no citizenship. We’d pillage your resources and you’ll live in a fucking shack to support my lifestyle. We won’t help you when a natural disaster strikes, we’ll ensure you can’t get the help or supplies you need in a famine. You and your future generations would die in the streets begging for sovereignty.

You can do a lot less with $100K in the USA than in other countries. Americans get paid more because they immediately have to pay that back out on expenses that are covered by taxes in civilised countries. So the pay sounds much better but it really isn’t. You’re falling into the trap of thinking “if we just did it like the Americans and didn’t pay for any common goods, we’d have more money in our pockets.” You would, for about 5 minutes until the bills came. Then you’d have less, and also live in a dysfunctional society where everyone is miserable and angry and defensive. Left wing politics is what protects a society from this fate. It’s not worth throwing it all away for a slightly cheaper graphics card.

Check your homeowners insurance cost and property taxes before you start talking about how cheap houses are in Texas. It can run $18k/year in insurance and another 10k in property taxes for a $400k house… If you put 80k down on a $400k house, the mortgage is roughly $2100/month in principle and interest, plus another $933ish per month for Property taxes($5000/year), insurance($5000/year), and hoa fees($1200/year). Your housing cost is ~$3k/month. Property taxes go up every year on top of that. They are limited to a 10%/year increase but historically, that translates to basically a guaranteed 10%/year increase, especially in the last 10 years. Insurance premiums have more than doubled in the last 10 years as well.
That’s also not covering the god awful electricity stability so you want some sort of generator or battery backup so you don’t literally freeze to death in the middle of winter. Basic starter generators are what, $10k right? And then $2k in gas a year? Minimum.
To run a heater or ac, you need a significant generator. I have been looking at battery systems and to run an existing residential ac, its like 10k and you need two inverters. Where I am, the power failures have been minimal and manageable (30 minute intervals every couple months) The exception was Hurricane Beryl and we were out of power for 3 days. I intermittently ran a generator for our fridge and the neighbors to charge stuff but even running a window unit was not an option on our 5000w generator. It burned maybe 2 gallons of gas?
Running an electric central air heater is also essentially out of the question. With a gas heater, you just need to run the fan and not heat the elements.
Despite the health risks, that is why we still use. Gas water heaters, gas furnaces, gas dryers, and a gas stove in our house. I want the fallback of running stuff without power. The grid is also shitty to the point (in some areas) that it fried my uncles induction stove, fridge, and ovens even living in a major city.
That also wouldn’t have helped during the winter storm in Austin because the gas supply basically froze and lost pressure so those folks were really hurting.
I think the big built in generators run 15k plus and run off natural gas. I did learn that they also require a maintenance subscription (because of course they do) and thats like 2k a year iirc.
If you move to Austin I will find you and kick your ass.

You sound just like the Latinos for Trump. “I can’t be racist, I’m one of the good ones”. It’s not going well for them.
So your take is about fucking VIDEO cards? Do you understand that the price increases of PC hardware is tied directly the AI industry and crypto, which Trump and his admin have gone all-in on deregulating and endorsing for investment?
Please, I beg of you to learn even the most BASIC facts about your world outside of your gaming rig before making political decisions. You know well it has nothing to do with money either, you just hate feminists or some stupid social shit that you can’t wrap your feelings around so you want to make everyone mad by electing some moron to lead you around by the nose. It’s pathetic, be better.
I think you’re looking at averages and not median. The US has a lot more billionaires and now trillionaires. Median household income in Australia is $1800/week and in the US it’s $1500/week and plummeting plus our unemployment is now through the roof to a degree that’s not even being measured accurately. And we go broke from healthcare.
I know you pay more for some elements of gaming, and you’re being shafted on that. But maybe check the news out a little and ask if Call of Duty is really worth all this.
We don’t have the first trillionare yet. Musk hasn’t actually been paid that package.
Yeah, I was being a bit glib about that. Who knows, maybe we can bankrupt Tesla before he does.
Yes keeping graphics cards cheap is definitely worth increasing groccery prices, privatized healthcare, unaffordable housing, state sanctioned violence against minorities, and 1000+ other issues. But hey at least the new Call of Duty is running great!

You’re probably right. Time to stop.
Bruv they aren’t committing more crime. That’s one of the reasons people are mad. Immigrants literally commit less crimes than nationals. Your argument for minorities committing more crimes is flawed because the only reason you think they commit more crimes is because police arrest them more, whether they were doing something illegal or not. “We target these people because we’ve targeted these people before”

Not quite. The us has strength, yes, but not to that point. Its strength is sufficient for some things, but it cant do everything it wants. The us cant even do whatever it wants internally… Look at venezuela, even after trump stated that venezuelan oil belonged to the us and was stolen by the chavist administrations, what is the us doing right now concretely? The us is buying oil at normal market prices from the chavist administration.

Fine with me, that’s a risk I’ll take to stop fascists. The problem with Americans is they don’t see how anyone would accept this, because this is about treasure for them. For me and my family it’s existential.
In other words it’s easy for you to say all of this because you’re in the US so you’re apparently incapable of understanding that others would rather die than join you. Also you seem to think no one else has power over your country. I think the first thing we should do is cut the power to the northeastern US, preferably during the deep winter. Nothing quite like freezing to death in the dark to provide that much needed perspective.

Cancel every contract they have given themselves and their friends. Corrupt judges out. End this Christian fascism. Every Trump aligned son of a bitch and bitch delta with
You are dreaming. USA did this TWICE. There is no turning back from this. The People of the USA seems to forget a lot in 4 years. So who will the next trump be, once the egg prices goes up again? USA will never be trusted again. They are in catagory with Russia and china.
The USA will be treated as even less trustworthy than Russia and China. Russia and China are of course untrustworthy but at least they are consistently untrustworthy. Everyone knows to give them a wide birth.
But the USA, they insinuated themselves into high-level defence pacts and international military cooperation. Then they decided to turn fascist and destroy everything for no readily apparent reason.
If there is going to be any repairing of fences, it’s going to have to start off with the US paying for all the damage they have done to the world order and all of the renegotiating of contracts that has had to be done because they didn’t feel like fulfilling their international obligations. And also justice, if the Trump admin don’t end up in prison then the rest of the world is going to see that for what it is. An attempt to defend the indefensible, and therefore an indication that they have not truly changed.
There had to be a World War for Nuremberg to happen. What my fear is instead of World War there will be a World Civil war.
What is a “world civil war” and how is that different from a world war?
My understanding is that a “civil war” is a war within a country, for the dominance and rulership of that country, usually over ideals or laws or something. And a world war is just… a worldwide war. I wish my grandparents were still around to seek real advice on this, I truly miss them and their experience and wisdom.
They will be factions within countries fighting amongst each other. There maybe alliances amongst those factions but no nations against each other. The end an apocalyptic fragments of Nations
You could say that some of the national borders as they exist right now are needlessly artificial.
Take Spain and Catalonia for example. The only reason that Catalonia is not an independent country is because Spain won’t let them be. There’s no real reason other than Spanish national pride and if there was a war between the two you could classify it as a civil war or you could classify it as a war between two countries, it’s entirely a matter of opinion.
But I don’t think that US politics has any real bearing on whether or not that happens. Political instability in the United States doesn’t really lead to any obvious change in internal politics for other countries. External policies obviously would change but not internal ones.
Right wing nationalism is spilling into Europe, Aisa along with bad actors like Israel, China, Russia it will lead to factions and if we are truly unlucky civil war.
There is unrest in France, Germany, many of the Baltic nations, UK.
You can’t have a World Civil War?
A civil war is between factions inside of the same country
I just thought about ww2, and I just realized how egregious it is that the Japanese and Italians sided with Nazis.
They thought “yes, mhm, we are on that side”.
Don’t sell Italy and Japan short.
Mussolini invented fascism, and did population-scale deployment of chemical weapons in Ethopia… Imperial Japan are absolutely an all-time G.O.A.T of horrific war crimes.
Their behavior was egregious, and that’s why they sided with the nazis.
Japan never even spoke to the Nazis.
A slight nitpick but Japan didn’t side with the Nazis. They had their own thing going on with China and simply saw the Nazis as an opportunity for some payback. It wasn’t like they really bought into the Nazi ideology as didn’t really apply to them. The Italians were all in on it though.
Had the war turned out differently there would have been a radical cultural difference between Nazi controlled Europe and Japanese controlled Asia. In the long run it would have probably led to another war because of the extreme cultural differences.
In the long run it would have probably led to another war because of the extreme cultural differences.
Like a cold war.
Alternative history is sort of difficult because we don’t know what the capabilities of those powers would have been. In order for the Nazis to have won the war a lot of people on both sides would have needed to make quite radically different decisions.
However it doesn’t take much theorizing to suggest that Nazi Germany would have probably had nuclear weapons in that scenario (the Germans were moving in that direction towards the end of the war, but were never really able to make much progress because by that point they were losing badly and didn’t have the resources anymore).
I can’t see how Japan would have ended up with nuclear weapons though. So I suspect a certain amount of power imbalance would have existed.
Italy was more of a trapped situation
Japan pre-nukes however were extremely genocidal fascist, look up some of the stuff they did just before WWII, such as the “Rape of Nanjing”, if anything the Nazis took some inspiration from them
Hope is nice. Class is manufactured
We should do it for invasions in middle east etc too while at it.

If he’s the president of Venezuela then let’s open up the border to them. Let them come in they’re American now.
This is actually a good argument .
The president of the USA can not be head of state of a different country. So they are either Americans or Donald trump accidentally abdicated the presidency.
I doubt these rules will matter to him. He just wants the oil
Is there anything explicitly forbidding it? I can’t say I recall anything specific about it, but I admit I could be just forgetting a constitutional clause or something.
No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.
He cannot “accept … [an] Office … from any … foreign State.” I suppose he might argue that “accepting” and “seizing by force” are not the same thing.
Or Congress could pass an act to allow it.
Edit: Or, more realistically, someone will complain to the Supreme Court and they’ll find a reason to avoid ruling on the issue and Sotomayor will write an angry dissent but nothing will change.
Argue? Why would he argue? He says it, it happens, nobody has a choice but to accept it, the legal system is defunct. We are living in upside down clown world now. The clown has his own Gestapo and nukes. Fucker needs to be taken out like week old fish in the bin.
It is supposed to be covered in the emoluments clause https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_Emoluments_Clause
It actually could be OK but congress will have to vote on it to allow it.
LOL the emoluments clause means nothing to Trump et al. He’s so bribed. It’s beyond fathom.
Yeah… still would like to see congress actually at least mention it.
The grim reaper needs to send Trump a good night call.
