Seems somehow…. I don’t know, illegal? to have non-elected officials making decisions to shut down government agencies?
If only there were another part of our government designed to somehow… maybe, keep things like this from happening?
Not necessarily but almost certainly in this case. Congress created USAID. Only Congress can shut it down.
Hahahaha so long people like you had this argument when asked why they think Trump wouldn't become a dictator
What the fuck are you even saying?
That the rules don't matter to these people, and no one is doing a god damned thing about it, you eeeeeeeeediots.
Or something along those lines
I agree, a lot of people felt somewhat safe and protected because there were some legal safeguards. Fascists overreach and install loljalists, et viola they are gone.
Sorry, I thought you were mentally able to understand. I mean it's laughable that you and many like you kept comfort in that the laws (that fascist dictators have complete control over) would stop a fascist dictator from taking fascist control over your country, with his PLAN on how to do it and promises to do it out in the open. From the outside it sounds so naive that it becomes funny. I am fully aware that it's not funny in actual, but it was just too much to read that idiotic statement. Laws or safeguards won't help. They're what he is removing, since you gave him power to do so
Considering the fact that you say, “your country,” I’m left to assume you don’t live here and therefore are here simply to antagonize, as you’re offering absolutely nothing worthwhile to the discussion.
Tagging you as irrelevant and moving on.
Oh, and maybe don’t assume someone mental health if you know nothing about them. It’s bad form and generally frowned upon to insult people before you even get to your point.
Just some free advice for ya. Do with it what you will.
I offer many things. Tagging you as irrelevant it's mature, good way of coping.
They don't care about laws
They never would
We told you
It was slightly funny to me and you can't accept it
So now you use immature ways to flip the narrative
Yeah… my immature ways. You mean my ways that say not voting is how you create change? Oh wait, that’s you. Or maybe it’s my ways that say voting for untested and unproven nobodies is better than stopping a fascist from being elected? Nope. Also you.
Our desperation is what tried to stand in trump’s way, your smug entitled arrogance is what stood aside and opened the door for him.
You have no moment. Because movements by definition, require action. And doing nothing is by definition- exactly the opposite.
That you got backed into a corner and called out and now you have nothing to add to the discussion aside from cringe cartoons? No. I got that the moment I tagged you as irrelevant.
You are confusing me with someone else
Could be. Trolls do seem to have a universal signature. It’s quite possible I could have you confused with any of the thousands of people just like you.
Nah, quite alone in this joke as you can see
I don't understand why you would project not acting or voting onto my position, are you arguing with someone else too? In this thread, you are attacking me for my joke, so we are discussing that and I explained why it was funny because you said you didn't understand, then you started a demential rap medley
ROFL… you are the one that responded to me with your smug bullshit about how me and people like me allowed trump into the White House.
Therefore it’s pretty safe to assume that you either didn’t vote- which makes your opinion irrelevant, voted third party- which makes your opinion irrelevant- or don’t even live in America, which makes your opinion irrelevant.
I voted for the one person that could win against trump. So you can stop with your bullshit accusations and take your smug rhetoric back to wherever it came from.
Nope, you are thinking of someone else.
