- flossly 2mo agoSorry, as an outsider, I think it has been a clown show for much longer. The whole Hunter corruption scandal in Ukraine + the laptop made it quite clear to me back then. And I can go on.
- blini-kot 2mo agoyep, they have a hard time grasping the fact that its been the same for the past 40-60 years the only exception now is not the corrupt administration, but the one being the most inept and blatant at being corrupt as opposed to its predecessors

- flossly 2mo agoThere's a Trump hate raging, but, as you also have seen: it's nothing new. Just the crazy partisanism that's going on in the states blinds people to the fact that they are not ruled by one part of the other, but that the parties are the smoke and mirrors of the non-democratic, unelected, unaccountable, unseen actual govt.
- blini-kot 2mo agoexactly, yep
- saulapremium 2mo agoThe Hunter corruption scandal is to the current administration as a drop of water is to a swimming pool. But I have no doubt that you can go on.

- gopher_space 2mo agoQuite clear that people don't understand the basics of forensics. Watching people ruin their professional reputation over something they desperately want to believe in was quite the education.
- ben_w 2mo agoGrandparents telling about their grandparents is a very different timescale than two presidential terms with a gap of just one between them. The "what changed in the 1970s?" meme graphs are the kinds of timescale for forgetting what is and isn't "normal" for your grandparents, and the Great Depression for your grandparents' grandparents. Eternal growth? Nah. Even the worst of times will be shortly followed by a recovery, soon enough you survive on savings? Pft. The President surely wouldn't consider to order the removal of protesting veterans, with the Army Chief of Staff implementing this order with a contingent of infantry and cavalry, supported by six tanks, burning the belongings that the veterans had left behind after being cleared from where they had been protesting? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonus_Army https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonus_Army Conscription? Concentration camps? These are also in the "grandparents' grandparents" timescale in the USA. Go back only a one more generation and you get lynching *postcards*.
- browningstreet 2mo agoI remember tales of how backwards and corrupt the Berlusconi government in Italy was. There was a sense that “over there” it was another world, a bad and sad and incorrigible one. Most Americans wouldn’t remember that, and yet we pulled, and continue to pull, an epic Hold My Beer in comparison. What would it take to get a Million Man March again? One that occupied the lawn?
