Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

"Let them fight" situation as far as I'm concerned. I wish to fuck he would focus all his hatred on these types of petty interpersonal beefs and cut the actually harmful stuff like, I dunno, the existence of ICE. Funding Israel still. Etc.

I do wonder how members of the current admin don't think this might (not will. Because ultimately the dems are huge, gigantic pussies afraid to do a single cool thing ever) affect them later down the line. Whatever lies beyond Trump, because one day the Cheeto Emperor will also pass, like why wouldn't Kash and Dan Bongodingo just be targeted due to their obvious specific targeting of people Trump personally dislikes? Again, Dems are pussies. Is that enough of a truth to rely on remaining forever? Or that future Republicans won't also be upset and turn on them? Or do they just think there is nothing beyond Trump? Are they even thinking at all? I dunno

I think Dems failing to ever grow a spine is a pretty safe bet, yeah. Or they'll do the same shit they did after Trump's first term and slow walk any sort of prosecution thinking that timing it closer to an election will help them, and then run out of clock and step on the rake.

I think their strategy is: “let those ungrateful plebs, who didn’t vote, suffer for few years, and they will never ever question us again”

The referral came after Ratcliffe last week released a review that criticized the 2016 US intelligence community assessment, long criticized by President Donald Trump and his allies, that found Russian President Vladimir Putin sought to intervene in the election on Trump’s behalf. In a post on X, Ratcliffe said the new review found that the original assessment “was conducted through an atypical & corrupt process under the politically charged environments of former Dir. Brennan & former FBI Dir. Comey.”

It's America so it has to be the dumbest, funniest thing possible. Arresting political opponents over twitter beef would be it.

The former FBI director was interviewed by agents investigating a photo he posted to social media Thursday showing shells in the sand on a beach spelling out “86 47,” which has become a popular social media code for removing Trump from the presidency.

I remember this shit because chuds were all "omg he's saying that he wants someone to assassinate Trump!" It was the dumbest shit ever.

Trump's woke weaponized department of INjustice.
