US Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (Democrat, New York) isnāt fazed by Congressā failure to move forward with the impeachment of Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth.
From her perspective, Democrats have almost too many people to investigate once they gain control of Congress in January.
āThere are so many criminals in this administration, itās hard to figure out who should be, you know, the order of operations,ā Ocasio-Cortez said in an interview with CNNās Manu Raju on Tuesday.
āThere are going to be many, many, many investigations,ā she added. āI imagine many subpoenas, and we have to follow wherever the evidence takes us.ā
Are they big fans of gas stations over there?
Theyāre tankies. So theyāre big fans of obvious fascism and authoritarian ideas claiming itās basically anything else.
Meanwhile the US is evil incarnatez and absolutely everything they do is bad, without exception. Russia and China do no wrong. Even when they do the exact same things.
Theyāre not big fans or critical thinking over there, and aggressively ban anyone not participating in the group think.
You just replied to me to explain, in answer to my question āWhy does dou9m think that I can expect every ml user to be a fan of a gas station brand?ā is that its because they are authoritarians? Like I was making a joke obviously, but your response doesnāt actually make any sense.
Donāt worry, we all know what tankies are, and we all think they are very silly and unimportant people. Itās hard to spend any time on lemmy without knowing about them. I find the people who follow them around screaming about it to be just as annoying as they are.
So for future reference: We get it, my dude.
I guarantee you a gigantic chunk of people on this site, and even more importantly, all of the people who will end up migrating to Lemmy over the following year, are going to have no idea how to even slightly define what a tankie is.
Give me a call when they hold any political power whatsoever <3
The worldās most virulent one is literally POTUS lol
You think donald trump is a tankie?
youā¦ Think he isnāt?
A communist?
Letās see, hmm, is President Krasnov ā who has business in Russia, who helps Putin at every turn, having secret meetings with him and overturning established sanctions on Russia and low-key betraying Ukraine as much as possible while trying to appear as though he is not, who even has a fucking Russian operative code name ā is he, could he possibly be, a tankie?
My god man. We will never know. It is a mystery of the goddamn universe.
Oh my god thank you lol, saved my fingies a lot of typing. The only thing Iād change is this part tho:
I donāt think thereās been a single time in either Trump presidency where it felt like he and his regimeās cronies were anything but absolutely highkey, straightforward enemies of Ukraine.
I mean fucking Vance quite literally brought Zelenskyy into the oval office to get some viral clips of him while his citizens are getting purposefully targeted by fucking missiles. Republicans as a whole have no, zero, argument for being anything but fascist, authoritarian, rapist, racist scumbags.
Yeah thats russia, a capitalist nation since 1994? Do you read the news? it was quite a big event.
