They literally can't, the US is a permanent member.

Germany and other European nations explored possible responses, including invoking NATO’s Article 5, though it was ruled out due to US veto power.

And this is the only reason why Trump didn't pull the US out of NATO.
Because of the veto power, he can effectively block them from taking action against the United States.
NATO is dead.
If other world leaders had half a brain between them, they would be forming a new alliance without the United States as we speak.

The two states Biden and Harris wanted were Israel and Palestine.
The two states Trump wants are Israel and Mar-a-Gaza.
Biden and Harris were never going to burn it down to build a golf course.
If you truly believe this is just more of the same and not something worse, you've got a room temperature IQ.

My Grandfather.
He was a drunk and a a wife beater.
One night starting at about 10 pm he beat my grandma to the brink of death with anything he could find.
He broke the walnut coat tree over her head, beat her with the radio, whipped her with his belt, broke her hands, tired her up behind his car and drug her up and down the gravel road, burned her clothes, and left her outside in February and kept dumping water on her trying to wake her up.
He finally stopped around 5 am when he called my mom because she wouldn't wake up.
My mom and aunt took her to the hospital and sent the cops after him.
He tried to say she did it to herself and then charged his story to say that she ran off with "a bunch of n*ggers to do cocaine".
She was in a coma and was pronounced brain dead 4 days after it happened.

There were belt marks on her back and stomach and you could clearly read his name from his belt buckle.
I vividly remember sitting though the court hearings and testifying at 12 years old.

He went to prison, we had to fight his parole every 5 years to keep him in, because he would have killed all of us for putting him in there, for 20 years.
In 2020 he died a slow and horrible death in the prison infirmary of Covid, he suffered for weeks and not one of his children or grandchildren went to visit him in his final days.

I'm just holding out until we start taking to the streets at this point.

Congress doesn't have a say anymore.
They gave up that right when they let Trump have budget power with literally no resistance

The only way we're going to get our country back is if we get a sane Democrat in office that rules the same way Trump does.

So it's never happening.

You can't play by the rules while your opponent cheats and expect anything but to lose.

I think it's well past time for some "legitimate political discourse"

If you have room for it, buy some chickens.
Tractor supply Company sells them as chicks in the spring.
This pranks the factory farm industry by refusing to give them money to continue their cruel, unsanitary, and inhumane practices.

Lifter assembly?
The right side clamps onto a bar and the left side rides on a cam and lifts the bar when the line passes under?

Unfortunately If this shit starts passing person-to-person, it's going to be everyone's problem.

The American Dream™ has been dead since the mid 1990s.

 
 
 

Corporate culture is based on constant growth and ever increasing profit margins. Eventually they'll amass so much of the wealth that most of the lower class won't be able to purchase anything other than essentials like food.
No new cars, no tech gadgets, no fancy dinners, no vacations, no disposable income.
When we get there the economy collapses because there's no money going into it.
The profits stop rolling in, unnecessary goods stop being produced, and the luxury goods producer's shut down.
At this point the money they worked so hard to hoard becomes worthless because they can't buy anything with it.
What's the endgame for them if their current path takes them to a point where their assets are more or less worthless?

Long pressing on a comment has always collapsed it unless you were replying to the comment, then you could long press to highlight a string of text to quote for a reply.
Now, long pressing closes the parent in reply mode and there is no way to highlight text to copy for quoting purposes.

 

Every self-respecting Democrat or leftist who cares about themselves or their family should own a firearm and know how to properly and safely use it.
We're entering a time where it may be critical that you need to defend yourself. It is not out of the realm of possibility that you or your family may be targeted in the not distant future for your political leanings.
We all know that the Republicans have guns because they never shut the fuck up about them, and we also know that in their wildest wet dreams Trump will let them run the streets gunning down anyone who is isn't white or anyone who voted Democrat.
They have guns, they know how to use them, how are you going to defend yourself when they come for you?

 

I get it, Biden is old and that's a problem, but why doesn't anyone seem to have a problem with the fact that Trump is almost the same age, has 34 felonies, raped at least 2 women, went to Epstein's Island 11 times, sexualized his own daughter, stole classified documents, aligned himself with Xi and Putin, and can't remember common names?

Is all of that really better than being 2½ years older than he is right now?

 
 

Anyone seen this before?

My OS is on a 512gb M.2 drive, but the main storage on my laptop was a 1TB HDD, it started making noise about 2 weeks ago so I backed everything up onto a 1TB SanDisk USB SSD. This afternoon it got very clicky when I booted it up after work and icons for a few games I had stored on it, like KSP and YUZU, disappeared from the desktop and taskbar.
