  • Fucking stupid. I’m an American and have no problems with Germany/Germans or Japan/Japanese folks. I don’t give a shit that they did to Americans decades ago—war is hell. Like what a stupid fucking reason to hate a country. Were you around in WWII? No, so shut the fuck up.

    Also, SHE’S Japanese, so she’s self-hating, which is beyond stupid. You don’t have to own every single little thing your country did decades ago. Also also, go look up Filipino history. You think Filipinos haven’t also done some fucked up shit during wartime? Gtfo.

    Lastly, your last comment is weird as fuck. You married a woman so she could be your waifu? The hell is wrong with you?

    Yalls are some pieces of work—stay married, yalls deserve each other.







  • Earnest answer: they have made the argument that they lost the presidency and both houses of Congress, therefore, whatever happens is not on them. They are taking the stance that since they don’t have the legal power, they’re doing their part by raising awareness, going to committee meetings to verbally oppose trump’s regime, and voting against bills when they can. In the Senate, Dems have been almost united in voting against trump’s nominees (looking at you, Fetterman). But they (Dem leadership) have been very straightforward that they don’t have the power. Their strategy is that republicans will fail so hard that the rest of the country will be running back to democrats by the midterms. I’ll let you decide how effective they’ve been.

    To their credit, it’s true that they have almost no legal power. The House votes by simple majority, so there’s next to nothing House Dems can do. In the Senate, Dem Senators can filibuster some bills. It’s super important to remember that a lot of bills, like budget bills or judicial nominations, cannot be filibustered. Add on top of that, republicans are disorganized as hell and have barely submitted any legislation for a vote that could be filibustered even if the Dems wanted to. So there’s really very little Dem Senators can do on the Senate floor.

    So, the answer is, barely nothing because legally, they truly don’t have the power. That all said, they are basically sitting on their hands. There’s SO MUCH they could be doing. For instance, imagine the POWER and HISTORY that Dems could’ve made had they one-by-one stood up and walked out of trump’s state of the union address. Dems could stand on the Capitol step EVERY DAY to protest, demand media attention, and use their platform. They aren’t. They’re letting us burn because most of them are playing politics.

    Good luck to them, you, me, and everybody else…
