As usual, the USA is the land of the free

The solution that the lukewarm """leftists""" in this country keep telling everyone is to vote. We voted, and guess what, it's a Democratic majority in the senate. They still chose not to make this a law. One single "Democrat" voted with the rest of the Republicans. The true leftists of this country need to get a damn pair of balls and actually fight back harder. A bunch of mouthbreathers who worship their precious millionaire man were able to overrun the capitol with seemingly no issue.

This is incredibly depressing... I wasn't expecting this at all. I generally view Biden rather positively, he is doing a great job when it comes to Ukraine but if this shit actually happens (which it looks like it will) it is going to completely stain his presidency & anything good he has ever done.

Apparently, in Essen, North Rhine-Westphalia, a school shooting has been prevented. A 16-years old teen planned to go on a rampage. Investigators found DIY guns, pipe bombs, and, as it seems, racist manifestos and pamphlets.

Biden is useless. He was friends with segregationalists, among other things, that make him what I call a "Lukewarm Conservative." Democrat only by name. He's a scumbag just like every cockroach on Capitol Hill.
The only reason he's providing aid to Ukraine is because he would look like even more of an asshole if he didn't. Of course he should, if NATO in general is providing indirect support.

There has been a cholera outbreak in the city of Mariupol. Seems like Putin wants to rule over ruins, which seems really depressing.
Personally, I'd hope for a more pro-active participation of the NATO considering the latest threats against the Baltic countries, but the risk that weapons of mass destruction would be used in that case, is not neglectable.

It is to be expected that Putin plans to destabilize the European Union with shutting down the Ukrainian food exports, which will lead to new waves of refugees from North Africa and the Middle East.

Roe is now official gone for good. Jesus fucking christ what a depressing times are we living. Back to the middle ages. What on earth is happening with this stinky backwards conservatism creeping out of the grave everywhere lately

Don't go on r/politics, you'll get depression. The US at the moment are batshit insane.
- Roe v Wade overturn
- Texas GOP promoting homophobic stuff on their OFFICIAL platform
- Texas GOP calling for secession from the US
- GOP in general becoming a QAnon cult; a GOP member actually has a campaign clip where he calls for hunting RINOs (Republicans In Name Only) with a shotgun
- A shit ton of mass shootings as usual

And all of this with a president who always calls for "finding the middle ground with the GOP, "do compromises"

But yeah that Roe v Wade overturn pisses me off. US are becoming a white supremacist theocracy in front of our eyes. Not that I had much respect for this country already before but it reaches new levels.

Tell me about it. I dearly miss the days when Sarah Palin was the craziest person in GOP What's happening to that party in the last 5-6 years will one day serve as a case study for pol-sci on how religious fundamentalism will take over anywhere where it gets silently tolerated. And on how terrifyingly close libertarian capitalism is to actual fascism and how easy it transforms into it. I just wish it didnt have to become an everyday reality for that sake.

Anyway I'm afraid Roe is just the beginning. This will eventually have a monumental effect on the whole world. I hope this will finally unite the left, because if it won't than nothing ever will. And if that doesn't happen, than goodbye LGBT and further reproduction rights in the US.

Fuck Biden for allowing this to happen. Most marshmallow president ever, when I just think of how happy was I when he won :/ He promised codifying the precedent into a law would be among the first things he would do if elected in the office. Even Manchin would have voted for it, he has literally zero excuses. Obama promised for years he would do that as well and in 10 years he didnt do shit about it. Dems are as guilty about this as gop.

And of course this hypocritical fuckhead is conveniently avoiding Love vs Virginia (interracial marriage) since he is in one

Thanks Reagan and the Bush family for laying the groundwork to fuck our country and liberties.
