That seems like a very bad sign. Someone wanted a message to get out to the public, but I'm not entirely sure what can be effectively done about it. Credit to the person with the balls to send out the warning, though.

Is that the State Department flag or is it a flag near the State Department?

I mean the US is certainly in distress

Definitely. Do we know if the people who wanted a criminal moron in charge are still cheering him on, or are they starting to catch on to the fact that his plan always was to thoroughly fuck everyone over? Well, everyone but his clique.

Everyone just giving their opinion but the answer is mixed. Some regret, many don't. And it's not just disinformation, people have to deal with their own cognitive dissonance. Just on the radio earlier was an Arab man still defending vote for Trump because "it's just rhetoric" right now. He's willing to say it's terrible rhetoric, but won't come to terms with the vote being a bad decision.

They will deny it until they can't and go right back to denial the moment they can.

He's their security blanket, their binkie. Any parent knows it's nonsense but to the child's mind the magic of the binkie it is real. Arguing the reality of the binkie is futile.

Parents can rely on their child growing out of magical thinking but since these are adults, we've got to accept they are forever lost to the magic.

Their need for president binkie cannot be argued with. It can be slipped from their grasp by logic or trickery. The magic must be shattered, utterly and irrevocably. Only they can choose when that occurs.

They're still cheering. No other awareness to be had

As long as the right people get hurt they're happy.

Republicans would shit their own pants just to make us smell it.

They're gonna be a lot less happy when they try putting armed citizens in camps and they get fucking shot.

Time has shown that these motherfuckers don't even care if "the right people get hurt"

As long as there is hurt, and their preferred propaganda machine tells them, they're happy.

Imagine being the person running this up the pole at the fucking state department.

The gravity well produced from the balls of this person (all genders included) is pulling me from miles away.

The State is in distress. Who will answer the call? Who will come it's aid? We have all been summoned.

Is this real? Nobody is reporting on it.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 90 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Which of the conservative media in the US do you expect to report it?
