Can you imagine how the right would react if this was done by a dem president? They may have actually started a civil war over it.
Wasn’t there a conspiracy theory about Obama or something opening foreign military base on US soil?
Jade Helm, back in '14/'15 was a massive military training exercise across the Southwest. We'd been saber rattling across North Africa and the Middle East for ages, so this was larger than normal but not inconsistent with US foreign policy. Just another day in the paradise of the imperial core.
But Republican influencers and spokesdorks jumped on it as an actual invasion of the territory being practiced over. Then several of the state governors chimed in, demanding that Obama halt his occupation of their states. We had a big rash of "Should Texas be allowed to secede?!" discourse. Obama issued an apology or some dumb shit. Republicans declared victory. Yadda yadda.
Yes. Please go. Soon.
Texas should be forced to secede.
... do they still want it?
The article has a quote that literally blames this on Biden and Obama.
God damn people are fucking stupid.
Oh "name the enemy" is a terrifying dogwhistle
It's the Dutch, right?
Nah its the Austrians. They keep insisting they don't have kangaroos but this picture I found of Hitler riding a kangaroo says otherwise. They will remain the enemy until I can enjoy a traditional oktoberfest, koala and all!
I've always said that the best folk music comes from the Dutch
Radar love is a classic.
Not hard to figure out since they immeditaly before referred to Islam etc. being scrubbed lol
Ack, I keep reading that as
And I'm thinking "wait, which is it? Are you upset the officials no longer recognize the enemy or because they no longer refuse to name the enemy?"
I get what they're trying to say, but it's not clearly stated.
Mate, your civil war has already begun. Most of you don’t realize it yet though, but you will soon enough.
Minor correction.
It never ended. It just went cold in 1865.
Oh, I’m very aware…. It’s unfortunate, but a long time coming.
"Obama is Muslim and wants a Muslim invasion and wants Sharia law!!1!"
For so long every accusation has been an a confession. Somehow I completely missed that Trump is a secret Muslim.
Has anyone checked his birth certificate? Was he born in Africa?
Donald Trump was born in Queens. To folks from Manhattan that may as well be Africa....
He does act like an Ottoman Emperor.
He's a TV Talibangelist
Ironically, they are this close >< to starting one anyway.
