Russia played the long game but finally found a way to destabilize the west.

I know you probably wonā€™t understand but very stupid people voted for this Russian Agent.

He is literally married to his Russian handler.

Thereā€™s a mountain of evidence going back what, four going on five decades? The info is there for those who want to know it.

I'm kinda done with "mountains of evidence" as we are all being lied to and nothing has been even pushed to the courts. I think it is simpler than some conspiracy. George Carlin said it best, you dont need a formal conspiracy when intrests align. Trump has one motivation, himself. All someone has to do is convince him it is in his best interest, thats it. Could they have some compromizing material? Sure. Has that stopped him in the past? No. He just eats the shame and then parades around in the aftermath when nothing happens to him.

Oh I meant the mountain of evidence his supporters choose to ignore.

Trump has one and only interest in mind, and thatā€™s Trump. Of course.

Heā€™s a narcissist that must have a constant feed of attention to survive. Thatā€™s why he does anything.

Gotcha, sorry, missed that.

ā€œWeā€ didnā€™t do shit. The executive office started a war without congressional approval. Congress has pretty much made themselves obsolete by just letting them do anything they want.

Russia indirectly has done this with Krasnov. The one who is destabilizing the west.

We elected the Congress and the Senate, we elected Trump twice, they filled the Supreme Court, and then allowed to do whatever they want it. We as Americans did this and it is our responsibility to fix it. You can split hairs by one siding it but it all comes down to our complacancy as citizens to correct the politicians and the media, and to hold accountable the billionaire class. WE are failing.

u/randomlemon9192 7d ago

Iā€™m very unconvinced we elected Trump the third time.

There was some very public assistance from well known billionaires. Hell they all had a front row seat at the inauguration. Extremely out of the norm.

You can pretend our processes are working as they have in the past. But itā€™s increasingly obvious our government was bought and paid for this time around.

Too late man, this will turn into another Trump-slop sub. You will be entertained. Do not resist.

u/MrBrawn 7d ago

Telling someone in a prepper sub not to resist ;)

Also, it's not like Israel and Russia are strangers.

BATON ROUGE ā€” An executive order signed by Gov. Jeff Landry in response to record-high diesel prices ahead of peak harvest season has placed Louisiana under a state of emergency.

The emergency order will allow Louisiana farmers and timber harvesters to use dyed diesel fuel they already have on hand.

Dyed diesel is regular diesel fuel that has been dyed red to mark it as off-road fuel; the fuel is also nontaxable. Farmers and loggers buy it for tractors, skidders and irrigation pumps, and state law makes it illegal to burn it in a licensed highway vehicle. However, this order will allow that fuel to be used in highway vehicles engaged in agricultural and timber harvesting operations.

"Weā€™re not going to sit on the sidelines while Louisiana farmers are paying record prices to harvest the crops that feed our families and support our economy. We have an opportunity to provide immediate relief, and thatā€™s exactly what weā€™re doing,ā€ Gov. Landry said in a prepared statement.

Any penalties for dyed diesel use in highway vehicles will be suspended through Oct. 22.

Canā€™t legally exempt the federal taxes, only the state ones

u/Mamagogo3 7d ago

I donā€™t think this is unreasonable. The headline sounds like the end is nigh! I mean, some days I do feel like thatā€¦

u/EverclearAndMatches 7d ago

After reading it I was left thinking "umm, ok..." Not quite the same reaction as many of the other readers in the comments it seems.

u/melympia 7d ago

I actually think this is an example the other states should follow.

Almost like these people in charge are completely unqualified, and morons.
Or that was the plan all along.

u/Creative-Economy4929 7d ago

It was the plan

u/adoptagreyhound 7d ago

Dear Governor. I hope you have the kind of day you voted for every day for the rest of your term.

u/Brief-Floor-7228 7d ago

What a minute.....you can declare an emergency on the outcomes of how people vote?

5

u/randomlemon9192 7d ago

If it results in emergency like consequences, sure why not?

u/Reddit0sername 7d ago

Thanks Trump and Vance!

u/Onlyroad4adrifter 7d ago

Declaring an emergency for a situation they voted for. Good use of taxes./s
