Do you want American leaders to be Strongmen?

[OddBeMe]

There’s serious far right groups who value strong man politics. That means not bowing to the law, congress and libtards. Fascism.

Man boob Putin

There’s been a lot of anti-Ukraine talk from some right wingers. And that worries me a bit. One of you fcks even said Putin had a right to invade. Wtf?

And these same fcks are blasting the trials of Trump as a derangement syndrome. Like I’m obsessed with the rule of law…wha huh?

Is that what you want? No rule of law. A strongman who isn’t held to account and does what he wants.

Yes we need strength in our government!

No, I rather like our rule of law

Please tell me how not wanting the government to be in my life is fascism?, that’s classical liberalism you moron (you called me a dip shit so it’s perfectly fair for me to call you a morons

as far as Ukraine goes I have mix feeling I want the people of Ukraine to win the war I want Zelenskyy to be out of power. Yes trump lies yes Biden lies, Zelenskyy lie back in October of 2022 make me not support him. I’d rather not go to nuclear war against Russia, because of a lie. Remember that bomb that dropped in Poland a NATO ally if that had been a Russian bomb, we would be in World War III right now you and me would be fighting side-by-side regardless of what political party we represent in order to prevent nuclear war. I am sorry Zelenskyy makes me sick. He is a liar and his allies could have a lead to nuclear war. I don’t like Joe Biden. His lies are not going to lead in nuclear war. Trump is hilarious. I’m not going to vote for him in the primary, but even his lies would not have led to nuclear war, Zelenskyy’s lies what have led to nuclear war. This is why I am against Zelenskyy himself the Ukrainian people I support, Zelenskyy, I do not.

I think we should just stayed out of the whole Ukraine situation. We don't benefit from helping Ukraine in any way. Especially since Putin threatened to nuke us.

Since the Biden administration said they are completely ok with committing the war crime of sending Ukraine cluster bombs, I am surprised Putin hasn't nuked us already.

[Mamaliv]

Our government is just messed up. How ‘bout we shut up about being left or right, let’s stop pointing fingers, and stop starting bull shit just because we don’t like someone. I wish these politicians would get their heads out of their asses and just start doing right by the people. I mean seriously, why are there children still starving and growing up with out an education anywhere on this planet? Let’s focus on the real issues! Who cares how big your balls are if you’d rather take someone’s life instead of finding away for both of you to win?

[OddBeMe]

All true about politicians. But that’s not even the majority of government. There’s people who devoted their lives to the IRS and the FED and working overtime to keep inflation down.

[Mamaliv]

I suppose you’re right, government can be pretty broad. Whilst I’m talking about the ones making the decisions for the rest of us from their ivory towers.

[OddBeMe]

Well, surprisingly to me, local politicians who never get more than 5% of eligible voters, have 10x the sway over our lives than the D. C. fucks we watch on TV.

[KrakenAttackin]

@mamaliv. Because politics are about POWER.

[OddBeMe]

@KrakenAttackin sure, but power is determined by our attention. And they keep it on the federal govt and away from local.

Unfortunately, there hasn't been a day since the US government was formed when there hasn't been corruption, deceit and greed in the hearts of the privileged white men who ran it. The only difference between Washington and Trump is that George actually got shot at by someone. We've never, ever been an ethical, just or moral government, since day one. It's a difficult history lesson, but that said, fast forward 250 years and all the shit in between, and the government is indeed run by corporations (up front), and even more sinister forces behind the curtains.

Here's a very simple example and very much today's issue: Guns. The follow 12 Senators have received the most money from the NRA. Buckle up, because this is staggering, since it's ALL just from the start of 2023 !!
Senators Who Get Funding from the NRA
1. Mitt Romney, Utah: $13,645,387
2. Thom Tillis, North Carolina: $5,611,796
3. Joni Ernst, Iowa: $3,688,078
4. Marco Rubio, Florida: $3,303,355
5. Todd Young, Indiana: $2,902,182
6. Bill Cassidy, Louisiana: $2,864,547
7. Ron Johnson, Wisconsin: $2,624,228
8. Tom Cotton, Arkansas: $1,973,201
9. Ted Budd, North Carolina: $1,828,893
10. Josh Hawley, Missouri: $1,391,548
11) Mitch McConnell $1,329,699

It’s also worth noting that many of these senators are from states that have been seriously affected by mass shootings. Tennessee Sen. Marsha Blackburn came in 12th with $1,306,130.

We will never get corruption completely out of government, because this is the real world. HOWEVER, it's worth noting that EVERY SENATOR on this list, IS A REPUBLICAN.

So the next time you hear " both parties are the same, they're both equally fucked up", tell that person to stop pissing on your shoes and telling you it's raining. Despite the overall failures going on, there is NO REAL choice except voting Blue Everywhere in the next election. IF you don't, say hello to Gilead by 2026, and onset of blatant Fascism, not the illusion we have today with a few freedoms.

[richardcory]

It seems so appealing - get a strong leader to fix the mess, make things great again. But strongmen act in their own benefit and usually lead nations to catastrophy

[Avicenna]

No corrupt, oppressive dictators or juntas, including ones like current one in Washington (that would be the one you support, Odd).

[Drewtate]

Be nice if they knew what day of the week it was.

[exitseven]

We need the rule of law but we still need a strong leadership that puts America;s interests ahead of everyone else's.

[Juxtapose]

Our government is in open violation of the law so we have full right to take them all out and prop up a new government in their place.

[Juxtapose]

The standing army, central banking system and all of these abuses of power should be done away with pronto.

[Juxtapose]

I want Andrew Jackson back.

[KrakenAttackin]

Unfortunately, "law" has brought us to where we are.

[OddBeMe]

Sounds like an anarchist. Not a good thing.

[KrakenAttackin]

Some men just want to watch the world burn...😉

[OddBeMe]

That’s my index fund your talking about pal

[Quigly]

Strong is enforcement of the law.

[OddBeMe]

You can’t enforce the law any other way but strongmen?

[Quigly]

Just because Russia Invaded Ukraine and started a war, doesn't make Ukraine a Saint.

[OddBeMe]

No one said they were. They accidentally bombed Poland. Who is still friends with them…

[Quigly]

Law is a piece of paper. It takes strongmen to enforce the law.

[OddBeMe]

Opposite actually. Strongmen disregard the law.
