Holy fucking shit. How incredibly ignorant. No, really mind blowingly, shooting your own foot, sticking your dick in a hornet’s nest, if the federal government was a person: this would be self-harm.
Voice of America is the main open propaganda arm of the federal government. All those US military bases all over the world broadcast this stuff. Arguably it helps trade and US corps influence foreign populations.
Yeah the ding-a-lings in the identity politics wing of the qon party overlook the very obvious. They are just so obsessed with too many stupid things.
How would that be shooting yourself in the foot then?
Leaving it on makes the US seem less of an asshole to ignorant folks by spreading lies and false narratives abroad.
Turning it off makes the US a better country by not being assholes that spread misinformation abroad.
One day, Americans are gonna hear emergency vehicle sirens throughout their neighborhood, and Swan Lake will be played on the Voice of Kremlin.
Just one more court order to defy without consequences.
Fourth box.
Judge orders Trump administration to restore
Voice ofAmericadonvict: “lol, novfefe.”
This comment punched me in the face lol hilarious
What do you mean 4th box?
soap box, jury box, ballot box, ammo box
The judges are still working to hold them accountable. Courts are slow.
Great! Wake me up when there are literally any consequences.
I expect my beard will be ZZ Top.
Trust me bro one more court order. That show you show it to the authoritarians.
And SO HELP THE JUDGE is they Ignore him! He will write a VERY MEAN LETTER!
you silly, consequences are for the poor
The Judical branch has no real enforcement mechanism.
EDIT: Lol replied to the wrong comment
Factually incorrect.
wat?
They’re wryly saying that when Trump inevitably ignores this latest of judicial orders, there will continue to be no consequences save for more angry reminders that he’s not supposed to do that.
Ah, thanks!

What the hell is voice of America

You could just have asked nicely.
I only know about them because I am an SDR (shortwave radio) enthusiast. They seem to only have a presence outside of the US.
The blah jah whatever trolls were let out, not worth the electrons you inconvenience replying to them.
AFAIK, propaganda. Funding for US-friendly media in other countries.
Soft-power.
I’m okay with less propaganda. But also that then raises the question: what is Trump’s actual goal, then?
When a Trump action dosen’t make any sense, ask yourself “how Putin would benefit from this?” Sometimes help.
As much as Trump wants Putin’s pp praise, I still can’t see Trump selling out this many people and completely ruining a civilization purely to do it. Though, maybe that’s my own shortcoming in not being able to empathize with psychopaths or evil people or whatever you could call that.
Almost nothing he is doing makes any sense except in the light of:
- Avoiding prison. For himself, that is. He’ll happily throw innocents into gulags if that is needed to keep him out of prison, where he belongs.
- Enriching himself and cronies that can benefit him. Everything is zero-sum.
- Making the likes of Putin happy. Whether Putin has something on him, or there is a quid pro quo is unknown, but donvict certainly admires dictators and wants to be just like them.
It’s almost as if he thinks of himself as a real ruler, but is so deeply ignorant about how to do it well, and keeps making horrible mistakes but then trying to fix them with another shitty fix that makes it worse.
There’s a scene in the old movie “the boondock saints”, where willem dafoe’s prodigy fbi detective character is investigating a murder scene in a strip club, and he slips back out of his mental vision and looks back at the other cops who await his impression, and he realizingly (and disappointedly and irritatedly, like you realize what that bad flavor is) says to them (paraphrasing) “television… You see this in bad television”. He had realized that this murder scene was different from the previous murder scenes because it didn’t make any sense and was incongruent from them. He realized that the added variable in this murder scene was an idiot, who evidently was reacting out what you would see in bad television, by messily adding innocent people to the murder count.
And I’m not sure of trump, but I have a sneaking suspicion that if you did enough research, you might be able to figure out specifically what bad television or media he idolizes and was brought up by.
I also wonder if any of it were those really shitty outdated encyclopedias that racist old rich people like to hide and pretend are elevated above the likes of the commoners, or if it’s just old spaghetti Western movies or something stupid like that, where leadership is drooling vengeance and mic-dropping one liners of imperialist petulance.
Because, so far in my millennial lifetime, and what I’ve seen and read about from donald trump, is a crusty broken mirror reflection of shitty television, melodramatically reflecting failed mob bosses of the past.
Tldr: trump is rocko from the boondock saints.
Edit: and Republicans are just those like him but are poor
