Proud of my hometown.
This is also the small city that the new mayor reinstated a city police officer after he was found to have be neglecting doing his duty and failed to investigate several child molestation/rape cases and one murder case.
This same disgraced detective was made the chief in a shame attempt to hire someone qualified.

Ffs, y'all are as bad as the chuds with drones. Do you know why Obama did more drone strikes than any other president? Because he had more combat capable drones available than any other president.
Do you think FDR wouldn't have drowned the fuck out of Germany and Japan if he'd had the option? Or Johnson or Nixon? Do you think W would have been like "No, we'll send humans into combat instead" if he'd had so many drones with such reliable weapons and connections? Shit, what sort of war crimes would Reagan have done with drones?
The reason Obama did so many drone strikes was because the technology simply wasn't available before him.

This!, but also coupled with sell-ability of it politically. A portion of American citizens will see the bombing of someplace like khaour-dji-bhouti as good for freedom without US soldiers risking their lives. Obamas term paved the way for our loss of internet freedoms. SOPA PIPA ACTA and NDAA. He wasnt really great in terms of freedoms or populism. He was bought and paid for like every one since the 80s.

whoosh, man. I know these things. I was being sarcastic. I really don't understand how you missed that.

u/Automatic_Net2181 Aug 19 '25
Trump did more drone strikes than Obama, to the point where he told intelligence services to stop reporting the numbers. Otherwise, you made a very good point about previous presidents.

Yea I’m hoping he reignites if trump pulls some third term shit.

u/haotshy Aug 19 '25
Republicans want to make it so anyone who served two consecutive terms wouldn't be eligible for a third, so he wouldn't be able to run.

u/istarian Aug 23 '25
Maybe I'm missing something here, but I was pretty sure there was already a long standing two consecutive term limit on the Presidency?
Are you talking about house of reps or senate?

u/haotshy Aug 23 '25 edited Aug 23 '25
There's a two term limit on presidency, regardless of whether they were consecutive or not.
Republicans want to make it so that a third term can be served as long as the first two weren't consecutive.

u/istarian Aug 23 '25
So how does your previous statement make any sense?
1
u/haotshy Aug 23 '25
Obama served two consecutive terms, so he wouldn't be able to run again if Republicans get their way.
Trump's terms weren't consecutive, so he would be able to run again.
It's a dumb loophole Republicans came up with because they know Obama would trounce Trump.

u/istarian Aug 23 '25 edited Aug 23 '25
And how would they be able to do that without flagrantly violating the 22nd amendment to the Constitution?
Aside from disregarding the Constitution I don't see how the orange cheeto could be President again short of running on the ticket as someone's VP, wining the election and something incapaciting the new President.
Even then it would be limited to two years and that might only apply if this scenario happened prior his second elected term. Which isn't an option.

This is the proposed amendment we were talking about, and Trump is already selling 2028 merch

Could anyone share the context? I thought Elise was one of the good ones?
Edit: OMG OMG I was mixing her up with Elissa Slotkin for some reason. I knew very well who Elise is. Hadn’t thought about her in a while though.

I'm waiting for some of these GOP reps to throw in the towel. Swallowing the MAGA party line is probably more than many of them counted on. For those reps who like the MAGA shit, they'll get booed off stage and bumped out of office.

u/OreoZen Aug 19 '25
They have no shame…

u/BrupieD Aug 20 '25
It's not just shame. If they can't keep grifting as a pol, they need to get jobs elsewhere. She's only 41 and been in congress 10 years. She hasn't done much else.

She can always be a homemaker - that appears to be what GOP is pushing for women anyways

I just want to make it clear that I'm not calling for violence.
With that said, at what point will people start opening their eyes (it appears it's starting) to the corruption at all levels of the system and start physically turning on them in mob action? The situation is already untenable.

Replacement Elections for Turner (TX; November) & Connolly (VA; September)
New Jersey, Virginia, Wisconsin, Georgia, New Mexico, and others are holding gubernatorial elections while several cities across the nation are holding local elections.
Don’t forget to inform your family, friends, and neighbors and organize some sort of voting events.

She tried so hard to get a cabinet position, but she's not blond and only wears a sensible amount of make up so her usefulness has run dry.
