I hope you’re right. I fear you’re not.

I see, they “just happened to need some more” right after trump took office.

Well obviously the US was sending them before that or it wouldn’t be called a pause/hold.

The point is Biden put the hold on and trump resumed sending them, as opposed to the poster’s claim.

Ya know, even with all the apt comparisons to Hitler and Putin, one thing I didn’t have on my bingo card was him actually trying to expand US territory by invading and annexing other countries. I thought that was one big difference.

Everything else I could imagine is now in progress: Disregard/end of the Constitution and rule of law–check. Dismantling of democracy into an authoritarian dictatorship–check. Mass deportations and concentration camps–check. Full-on implementation of Project 2025–check. Blatant corruption, lawlessness and self-enrichment for trump family and oligarchs–check. Implementation of Christian Nationalist policies–check. Dismantling of federal agencies and beneficial aid programs–check (so far DOJ/FBI, USAID, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Dept of Education).

As yet unchecked, but only a matter of time (it’s only been 3 weeks!): dismantling of additional agencies and programs: SNAP, medicaid first, then social security, medicare, all the stuff they hate. Use of military against civilians, requirement to carry ID papers with proof of citizenship, sham elections, and more!

Unanticipated by me: Musk given free reign to dismantle whatever parts of the US government he feels like, and now invasion and annexation of other countries and territories!?! In the sights: Panama Canal zone, Greenland, Canada, and Gaza. Could this really happen?

You know when those 2,000 pound bombs get shipped to Israel they actually get dropped on people and kill them, right? … It was happening whether they voted for it or against it.

No it wasn’t. Biden had put a stop to sending those bombs to Israel (in May 2024), and trump immediately resumed sending them as soon as he took office.

Trump Lifts Biden’s Ban on Weapon Shipment, Makes 2,000-Pound ‘Bunker Buster’ Bombs Available to Israel

Nothing would stop someone who made it to the Superbowl to not play. Especially since many (most?) of them probably support him. I know the Chiefs kicker Butker does. They’re rich as hell you know.

Great now he’s going to ruin the Super Bowl too while he’s at it. He went to the World Series too. Sports are supposed to be an escape. Can’t he (and musk) leave anything alone?
