Dayum..
JD Couch Vance suggested that the US may drop support for NATO if the EU is acting against puppet Elon's platform X, or Twitter
So basically, "allow racism, hate & fascism or else we're leaving you"
It's just incredible how such terrible people are now getting in power in the states, just wow
I'm gonna say it again;
Fuck billionaires (edit: not needed)
@stux please cw this
@stux We are a bit terrified over here.
"and you shall no longer get Corinthian leather" - the EU makers of the world's finest futons
@stux this was the plan back in September before the elections. Wondering what the plan is now.
@stux I’m pretty sure this is just pretext, honestly. They’re going to be building a lot of pretext for the actions they will take after January.
They’ve always had a plan to leave NATO.
@stux see, I'm almost certain you could make your point without the very much able-ist closure.
I suggest we vote for someone different next time.
@cowboyminer @stux
2056 can't come fast enough.
@cowboyminer @stux I don't think we're going to be given that privilege again.
@stux what the source for this?
Just wait till Trump mysteriously dies in his sleep sometime in February 2026.
We’ll have President Vance, with a Dear Leader to venerate and invoke stirring up and growing his base, directly doing the bidding of Elon Musk and Peter Thiel because he is the emptiest of suits.
The perfect avatar for the victory of the oligarchy and their brand of fascism.
@bflipp @stux @hacks4pancakes Eye wuz with you, Brett, until you said 2026.
February 2025 is my guess.
@jstatepost @stux @hacks4pancakes
You are probably right. I was trying to be generous.
No, if what I've read (below) is correct, it will be 2026.
If Trump serves just over half his term before he "leaves" office, the half term Vance will serve will not count towards his two term limit.
Though this assumes they aren't going to go full one party dictatorship with no more elections the way Hitler did.
@bflipp @stux @hacks4pancakes
Ah, I, for one, look forward to the giant paintings in public spaces of the Dear Orange Leader which will memorialise his reign!
That mark?
A splash of ketchup to symbolise his political struggles.
@stux the US will not sacrifice its most powerful ally against China for Twitter. JD's preaching to his choire, just ignore or make fun of.
@stux the can only leave nato once, and honestly I don't think this is what it's going to be over. They'll do it of course, but this won't be why.
@stux this is what any politician who wants to beat the likes of orange turd to have say out loud. They will never beat right wing nut jobs fake populists by going after right wing moderates and centrists. They have to be left wing populist who aren't afraid to say it out loud and clear.
Maybe people should leave X.
@mastodonmigration @stux lots are there were waves of first Lesbians, then TransGirls, then Women Sex Workers on Threads then Straight Women
@stux@mstdn.social I mean people could just stop using Twitter instead of hoping that the EU regulates some sense into Elon.
Vote with your feet and don't support Trump bootlickers.
@stux nah, fuck that stigmatisation; i am neurodivergent, and depressive (the latter is, as you know, classified as mental disease), and neither one of the two is making me a murderous racist gobshite.
being a terrible human is purely their choice; yes, every billionaire is a policy failure, and they may have been working very hard on losing their humanity, and we would've been better as a world if they did not exist, but their behaviour is not a mental health issue.
@stux tl;dr:
If you ban one source of our hate and US control, we’ll help you by voluntarily removing another.
@stux They don't. They're not patients. Patients deserve sympathy. These people are not sick, but evil.
@Eetschrijver Or.. they deserve treatment
@stux Yeah. In Gitmo.
@stux Fuck Vance and fuck Elmo.
@stux
We are only one or two Signing Statements away from gov't control over Media content.
Use of the word "Amerika" always seemed a bit "silly" in the past, but we are rapidly watching history repeat itself.
It's 1936 and we're in Germany.

@stux Where did you read this? Do you have a link?
Yet we have millions of working class US citizens who idolize these corrupt billionaires. Like poor whites in the Deep South who defended wealthy plantation owners in the Civil War.
@FallsMom It's absurd right!
@stux democrats didn't loose, we all did
@sr3 We sure did..
Masssively! Some just don't know it yet
@stux "we" know. The question now is: how much did and will we loose until it's over.
And it may take a long looong time until it's over this time.
How long before he demands the release of #tommyrobinson by the #uk authorities?
@stux next: "drop your vehicle safety legislation so as the Cybertw*t passes, otherwise we will leave NATO", or "simplify medical device regulation for neuralink, otherwide we will throw all our toys out of the pram regarding some other important thing we don't understand". This is a lovely exemplar of conflict of interest and is also a really, really poor attempt at blackmail.
@stux In the States we are all just waiting to be dragged out and beaten to death or shot. For having any past or present liberal sympathies. As his supporters are now onto the rhetorical train of executing all those not showing pure party devotion. All of what we show now is for not engaging those who'd made it their decisions based on personality disorders.
@stux Yes, narcissism at least, but not as NPD, just being a jerk, lacking empathy, lacking conscience, being an ungrateful, entitled jerk who uses people and treats them like slaves, just to get rich and powerful. That's all narcissism, but not strong enough to be NPD.
We see narcissists as strong individuals and we reward them, that is something we can change - ourselves, not them. They can't change. Why would they, they're winning.
I'd say fuck off, and then fuck off a bit more... if they want isolationism, they should isolate themselves a bit more.
@xs4me2 I'm just so startled by the facts that these are appearntly in the "same boat"
Twitter and NATO, like wtf...
Trump's second term will be a continuation of first one that was full of chaos, only this one will be worse as the then moderate forces now are completely gone.
@IAmDannyBoling @xs4me2 @stux Thankfully he's not healthy and the mini strokes and the Dementia seems rapid
@otownKim @IAmDannyBoling @stux Than Vance will kick in…
@IAmDannyBoling @otownKim @stux
It sucks big time…
All because of one man.
Q: Which country is the most dangerous due to its reach and potential?
A: Elon Musk
Every person on earth is in mortal danger as long as musk keeps being invited to meddle in multiple government affairs the world over. He is singularly the most dangerous person on the planet. No one elected him, yet he's calling the shots on critical infrastructure, foreign affairs and more. All this and he's just warming up. It's going to get much worse - and soon.
Humanity would be so much better off if Musk dropped dead
@nceladean @IAmDannyBoling @stux @xs4me2 Yep! I hope he gets a Matthew Perry dose
Very worrying...
@stux Sadist and sociopaths don't breath human compassion, warmth, sympathy, love, and empathy. What they do breathe is pure hatred against all those different from them. Getting that feeling from those who told me certain children are deserving of education and some are not like my son's.
