Don't blame me, I voted for the other guy. (Politics General)

@EnotikBrony
False flag attack? Who’s claiming responsability?

@omeggga
US warned about this two weeks ago

Intel then said ISIS.
Chances are regardless of who, it’ll be a driver for mass mobilization and further escalation against Ukraine.

ukraine had 39 presidential candidates last election . i went to see usa list of the candiadates. over 50 of them. among which someone named Spike Cohen, who’s been watching the mlp since 3.ok. seems nobody discusses or knows all those candidates.

USA needs more parties.

“Project 2025, a comprehensive transition plan organized by right-wing think tank The Heritage Foundation to guide the next GOP presidential administration, is the conservative movement’s most robust policy and staffing proposal for a potential second Trump White House — and its extreme agenda represents a threat to democracy, civil rights, the climate, and more.”

“Project 2025 focuses on packing the next GOP administration with extreme loyalists to former President Donald Trump.”

Istg, these people, especially the ones protesting how they’re going to move out come election time are the worst. Congratulations, you bitched out and abandoned us immigrants trying to start a life here because you had money, suburb-dweller.

The report of Putin dismissing a terrorist attack is still archived, in case someone tries to imply that Putin took the USAs warnings seriously: https://web.archive.org/web/20240319131841/https://tass.ru/politika/20283597

So yeah, Putin put so much emphasis on “muh gays” that when an actual terror attack happened they didn’t see it coming. Jesus Christ how can someone be so unfit to hold power?

@omeggga
Third parties do exist as well as running as an independent.

@igotnopicks
Yeah but given their influence they may as well not.

One of the terrorists involved in the concert shooting in Moscow has been arrested and detained

No word yet on the status of the others or if the Intel of them being ISIS members is accurate

This needs to figure into Biden’s messaging as much as possible. He’s gonna need all the help he can get.

@igotnopicks
That’s not even mention asexual folks (like me) who literally don’t want any form of sexual relationship.

And let’s not forget couples who probably genuinely want to have kids, but can’t afford it because of how bad the economy is. Republicans love making women carry children against their will, but they sure don’t give two fucks about them once they’re actually born.

@Penguin Dragneel
Pre-born? You’re cool. Preschool? You’re fucked.

Representative Mike Gallagher (R-WI) has announced he is resigning from the House effective in April. Like Ken Buck, Gallagher was originally just going to retire after this term. After his departure, Speaker Johnson will only be able to afford a single defection on party line votes to pass legislation.

I’m almost tempted to say dems should take up Monkey Brains offer to oust the speaker, wait for there to be 2 republican absences, elect Jeffries as speaker, and then change the rules to prevent his ouster.

It would be stupendously devious politics, but hilarious.

@Zincy
I think all parties need a speaker even if they don’t have a majority, else congress can’t legally resume.

update on the Moscow concert hall shooting

At least 60 reported dead, and over 100 reported injured

One of the 5 shooters has been arrested, no word yet on motives or affiliations, although ISIS is claiming they are the ones responsible for this (Though they are attention whores who claim they are behind every terrorist act so massive grain of salt for that)

Another popular theory going around is that this is supposedly an attack made by “Israel and the CIA”. Christ why is twitter promoting all these dumb BS conspiracies, it’s hard trying to find actual people talking about this instead of dumb conspiracy theorist crap.

How likely is it that Putin or some other foreign entity will bail Trump out of his money related issues?

Orange Man has friends around the globe who’d gladly supply him in order to hurt America further.

@CaptainXtra
that sorta depends on how importent they think trump is, cuase currently if i were such a position that fact that least one state party has gone bankrup due to all of the RNC’s funds going to trump’s cases (not to mention what their finaces be like in say 7 months or so) i would rather save the effort for the next guy. Espically since putin’s war against ukraine is doing the opposite of well. As in, awful. Maybe its gone better for russia, idk, but ukraine is the best military in russia right now.

I find a bit of grim amusement in the fact that Putin rejected US intel about ISIS planing an attack as “needlessly provocative”.

The Russian bastard* cut off the ear of a man who is only a SUSPECT, even if he is a real terrorist, they had no right to cut off his ear, it is illegal at least.

So, people who been arrested not terrorists? Man who Russian Nazis cut off one ear not terrorist?
