      Not without French Revolution numbers. They had an estimated 8% of their population in the resistance. In our nation of 340M, that would be ~27M people. We can barely break 5M nationally in protests.

      If we tried something that stupid now, we’d be inviting the same fate as the German resistance against the Nazis. Engaging more of the ~270M people that aren’t protesting, but do not support Trump, is the focus. Throwing bricks and losing good people to imprisonment only fortifies fascism and weakens our resistance.

      Just remember the right wing hogs and the left wing hogs at the top are one in the same. Neoliberalism is a right-wing ideology and outsiders who live in like Europe see the United States as a right-wing country. Right-wingers are the useful idiots of empire. Or should I say fascist are the useful idiots of Empire. It is simply just divide and rule.

      Joe Biden and his crackhead son did deals with Ukrainian companies. There was a conflict of interest, like with all these fucking pieces of shit. Now the cheeseburger kings the president and he’s doing all types of crazy shit and the lib turds are all on it like flies on shit. You guys haven’t figured it out yet. The rich eat at the same table, and sometimes they have food fights, but you’re crawling around on the floor. Eating the crumbs.

        Read the Mueller report. Look into Roger Stone & Donald Trump mentored by Roy Cohn, you know McCarthy’s right hand guy? Lavender Scare guy? The guy you’re trying to accuse me of?

        And instead of reading ANY articles you wanna argue.

        Piss off disinformation idiot. You lose.

          Read the Mueller report.

          I have, it didn’t provide any of the evidence you claim, hence why you can’t actually point to any.

          Look into Roger Stone & Donald Trump mentored by Roy Cohn

          I have, it didn’t provide any of the evidence you claim, hence why you can’t actually point to any.

          The guy you’re trying to accuse me of?

          “I can’t be doing McCarthism because Roy Cohn was McCarthy’s guy!” Incoherent reasoning.

          And instead of reading ANY articles you wanna argue.

          I’ve read them, and they don’t contain what you say. Hence why you can’t actually back up your point and are reduced to endlessly acting like a looping bot.

          Piss off disinformation idiot. You lose.

          Please point to any disinformation I’ve posted.

            America is not a democracy. It never was a democracy. Even CIA agent analysts are referring to the United States as an autocracy. I believe that… It is a bourgeois liberal democracy, which is not a democracy in my opinion. People who climb up in the hierarchy all do bad things things that we would be disgusted by both parties are equally corrupt. Capitalism is destroying the planet. And I’m really tired of the back and forth. We have no control. It’s either Coke or Pepsi. The beatings will continue until the morale improves. I do enjoy when the rich tattle tale on each other, but I am disgusted by how the people digest the information.

    Even the capitalist fight amongst themselves, just remember there is no war but the class war. Ukraine wants the war to continue, at least it’s ruling elite. Who are the puppets of the Yankee Most likely Trump was shot at by someone that was inspired by Ukrainian intelligence. All of you, without framework, are just little, Manchurian candidates.

      You must still question if Watergate happened, with it being based off an anonymous source and all.

      So you didn’t believe anything that Snowden said was possible either? This isn’t a conviction. It’s just a lead.

        Julian Assange and Snowden are characters who reveal the inner workings of the deep state. They are nonpartisan and it should reveal how the sausage is made and how you fit in that sausage.

        It’s not even a lead, it’s an anonymous accusation with no specifics.

          Sorry. I didn’t realize you meant the agent was anonymous and not the source.

          The agent is Jonathan Buma. His arrest was made public at the time of the initial leak. Now we’re just hearing some more details.

            Ah ok, the kyivInsider article didn’t name him so I assumed he was an anonymous.

            Well, he isn’t an anonymous source, but it is still just an uncorroborated accusation with little if any details.

              To your point, the details are coming through unnamed sources in the article. I thought that’s what you were getting at. I’m inclined to believe it’s true, but we’ll have to wait for a formal deposition to know what’s what.

                I’m inclined to believe it’s true

                Well yes, because it’s playing into conspiracy theories that were already popular when he started making the claims. That’s why I’m dubious about it; he’s very much saying what a lot of people already wanted to hear.

                  Absolutely fair. However, the reason I’m inclined to believe it is because of its likelihood, not because I want it to be true.

        For people asking for other sources:

        https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/is-the-fbi-truly-biased-against-trump

        It’s this agent, who was involved in investigating Hunter Biden and Rudy Giuliani. He turned whistleblower after charging that FBI leadership and Bill Barr squashed the investigation into Giuliani.

        His house was raided in 2023: https://www.newsweek.com/fbi-raids-home-trump-whistleblower-johnathan-buma-1843737

        he resigned right as he was arrested in 2025: https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/former-agent-who-accused-fbi-of-political-bias-is-charged-with-disclosing-confidential-records

        his court cases pending, he’s writing a book, running for congress

        https://ftw.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2025/05/01/fbi-whistleblower-johnathan-buma-files-to-run-for-congress-in-arizona/83368871007/

        and he did a recent interview with Germany media, where he made the claims about Musk and Thiel that are in the foreign news (not covered much by US media)

        https://www.zdf.de/nachrichten/politik/trump-musk-putin-100.html

        This 2023 article claims Thiel was an informant / source for Buma
