I just can’t anymore. Sorry guys, I’ve been too sick and can no longer cope.

I pop in once a week so I can say, aloud: ‘Jesus fuck this bastard.’

So here’s my weekly ablution. Dog help us all.

Take a minute away from this shit for your own mental health. We'll still be here yelling about this fucking dickhead when you return.

They've already started their Newspeak.

It's honestly uncanny. Not the similarities, but that one of the most commonly assigned books in the public school system is so blatantly disregarded.

[-] Cethin@lemmy.zip 9 points 1 month ago

Well, most people just remember it as the book where the government watches you, but that's a very minor part of it. I'm guessing the parts that are remembered/forgotten are on purpose.

How crazy that Americans aren’t embarrassed by this deadly lie.

[-] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 124 points 1 month ago

Nope, I'm incredibly embarrassed and scared

[-] ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.net 36 points 1 month ago

Please consider becoming organized in your local communities, they will be essential in the coming months, and it is the most powerful act we can do to resist.

Don't presuppose my embarrassment. I have been embarrassed for as long as I can remember.

[-] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 16 points 1 month ago

nearly half, or more than half, depending on the politics of the non voters, are embarrassed by this line

Or, maybe they are. And this is just an ignorant hot take.

Revisionist history much?

[-] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 57 points 1 month ago

Trump, who said last week that he and President Vladimir Putin spoke by phone about ending the war, has made several comments bolstering the Russian president. He said during an interview with Fox News last month that Ukraine should not have fought when it was invaded by Russia.

"When you are famous enough, they just let you do it."

[-] DarkDarkHouse@lemmy.sdf.org 57 points 1 month ago

He just had a meeting with Russia, he just listens to th last guy who spoke to him. Zero long term memory

[-] Wxnzxn@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 month ago

He's also been shown to be ridiculously susceptible to flattery and pomp, two things Moscow can provide in spades, with little cost to themselves. He also seemingly genuinely believes, that there is nothing more to politics but raw self-interest and primitive power displays, when there's a reason your edgy teenage friend didn't stumble upon some higher wisdom when claiming that about the world.

Where he’s coming from, based on what I’ve seen, is the assertion that Ukraine was in civil war before the 2022 invasion (basically true), and that the eastern separatists (who were indeed fighting Ukraine’s government) were being killed.

It’s also true that there was corruption, and some democratic backsliding, prior to the invasion (not that the US or Russia have any leg to stand on there).

The kool-aid part is that the separatists were fighting to “free” western Ukraine from the tyrannical govt, and that Russia finally invaded to save and “relieve” these noble citizens who want to be part of Russia. That everyone would vote this way if some elections weren’t suspended. This conveniently leaves out the first Russian invasion, propaganda efforts and so much more.

This is why Ukraine “started it.” They just kept attacking these rebels and forced Russia to intervene… I guess. On Putin’s side, it ties into the idea of an oppressed population yearning to be one with Russia again.


…What I am getting at is, with the MASSIVE intelligence apparatus at his disposal, Trump is guzzling this kool aid. He’s not a two faced dictator, he believes the propaganda and has swallowed the hook.

I think that is even scarier than a real “dictator.” Even if you buy into the whole “America First” philosophy (which has some merits at least), it means Trump can make monumentally bad decisions that don’t follow this mandate or even benefit him, as his view is totally warped.

[-] Coolbeanschilly@lemmy.ca 30 points 1 month ago

Didn't Russia use this tactic to annex part of Georgia's territory back in 2008?

[-] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 19 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

IIRC yes.

It would have worked again if the second invasion hadn’t trended so much, encouraging other countries to intervene, and if Ukraine itself hadn’t put up such a staunch, united resistance.

[-] Coolbeanschilly@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 month ago

It also didn't help that Crimea kept on popping up here and there too.

Putin’s puppet since Helsinki Summit.

[-] Tuuktuuk@feddit.org 8 points 1 month ago

Not only from back then. The summit was organized largely because Trump admires Putin so much.

I bet Trump will invite Putin for a state visit before the peace has been brokered. Trump will spend hundreds of millions of tax dollars to impress Putin with a ridiculous ceremony. And Trump will gift hundred nuclear warheads to Putin.

[-] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 10 points 1 month ago

I don't know about the nuclear warheads, but I absolutely believe everything else.

[-] sudneo@lemm.ee 11 points 1 month ago

When I woke up this morning I saw the headline and I thought "here we go again". I watched the video and my impression is that he said that sentence in his classic dementia rambling, right after it he said "he should have ended it".

Basically he was blaming Zelensky for not having negotiated right away and Biden for not having pushed for it.

Not sure if this makes it any better, but at least I got the impression he mispoke saying that particular thing.

[-] SwingingTheLamp@midwest.social 10 points 1 month ago

No, I'm done giving him the benefit of the doubt. The President of the United States should be able to clearly articulate a thought.
