Dear Americans, you have it in your power to immediately get rid of this clown. In entirely unrelated news, I believe that gun ownership is still very popular there. Back to my first point, it's so very easy to replace a US leader, isn't it?

Do they? Why Bush not in jail?

Y'all are more outside of his retaliatory reach and Americans need allies.

Unfortunately you people voted to get rid of allies. You need to grow some balls.

America, land of the anxious and home of the chicken.

This gets so tiring. Do you really think Trump supporters are on here? And what do you expect me to do? Rush the white house as a one man army? All I see to do is build local networks and communities until there is enough impetus for change that people wake up and fight for their rights. But you aren't going to see news articles about local community outreach, why would that garner much attention on Lemmy? Our media is controlled by the parasite class anyway. But hey, you made a shitty comment on the internet today so I guess you've got that going. To be clear, I'm not defending the US government a bit, but not everyone voted for this shitbag, and propaganda is a real drug. Attacking allies or would be allies is what we are criticizing the US government for, but that doesn't mean you have to lash out at strangers on the internet.

I do not care if Trump supporters are on here or not. I do not care about your domestic infighting. I care about the USA threatening us and starting and supporting wars of aggression where the whole world has to pay the price and the US resistance is asking questions like:

And what do you expect me to do? Rush the white house as a one man army?

and

Y’all are more outside of his retaliatory reach and Americans need allies.

So are we expected to rush the white house as an army, kill some Americans on the way and topple the government the American people voted for twice? Certainly not. Asking us to solve your home made problems is ridiculous and I repeat: You people need to grow some balls. There are still possibilities Americans could choose that do not involve violence but you have to get of your asses and not ask foreigners to do it for you.

Don't act like your country was not backing american imperialism before it start threaten you. Don't act like Europe and canada did nothing wrong either

Sadly, here outside the US we see many people just laughing at Trump but not pressuring the elected leaders. Me personally, I am perhaps too loud and possibly now on a list of agitators. We MUST do anything we can do to help the planet. Not just some rich pricks.

… the power infrastructure that also services all the oilfields? The ones that you panicked over when Israel started bombing?

Ok, go for it. Fuck around and find out. Add another dollar to the price of gas.

AFAIK: The bigger oil fields in Iran have on-site and gas based electric generation. Only the some older ones rely on the grid.
