Trump is willing to surrender our our natural resources to Russia cause he is weak. He always has been weak and everyone knows it. Also he rapes children.

What did you expect? Trump is a goddamn Kremlin Gremlin.

[-] ABetterTomorrow@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 hours ago

So you’re going to allow Russia in the US to go to Canada?

[-] TheReturnOfPEB@reddthat.com 6 points 2 hours ago

Canada is the new Poland.

[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 52 points 5 hours ago

Offer the country you’re spending billions against in a proxy war resources that will likely find their way, directly or indirectly, used against the US’s financial expenditures in the war.

No wonder this idiot bankrupted a casino.

[-] 7toed@midwest.social 6 points 1 hour ago

Don't forget: bankruptcy only affects the business, hence golden parachutes. Being a casino owner wasn't enough, bastard had to screw over the workers too

[-] Drusas@fedia.io 21 points 3 hours ago

Four casinos.

I'm not sure whether or not I'll be surprised to hear Trump gave Alaska to Russia

[-] selkiesidhe@sh.itjust.works 21 points 6 hours ago

Big enough of a disaster to distract from the Epstein files?

[-] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 24 points 6 hours ago

Trump is a bully, and what do bullies do when they enter the big kid playground ? they submit to the bigger bully.

[-] jaybone@lemmy.zip 23 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

How much “fury” has it sparked? Are the republicans furious enough to impeach him? I’ll wait. checks watch

[-] Typhoon@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 hours ago

The fury has reached finger waggling and strongly worded letter writing levels again.

[-] BrianTheeBiscuiteer@lemmy.world 81 points 9 hours ago

Complete hypothetical, stay with me, but if Trump was a Russian asset what would he be doing differently? 🤔

[-] D_C@sh.itjust.works 40 points 8 hours ago

The only thing I can think of is to be less obvious about it.
A properly trained russian agent wouldn't be so blatantly corrupt, surely.

Then again he's a damned imbecile so he's doing the best he can with the 5 brain cells he's got.

[-] drhodl@lemmy.world 6 points 5 hours ago

Being an imbecile does explain a LOT about Donny 2 Dolls.

[-] BrianTheeBiscuiteer@lemmy.world 17 points 7 hours ago

You get what you pay for. I have a feeling Trump is doing it for free.

[-] ToastedRavioli@midwest.social 11 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

When youre a “star” they let you do it

Simply a Traitor; Asset of Russia

[-] sirico@feddit.uk 9 points 6 hours ago

"do you think he likes me" guess who said this about who

[-] ur_ONLEY_freind@lemmy.zip 6 points 5 hours ago

Pretty sure every alaskan ever would be against this

[-] octopus_ink@slrpnk.net 13 points 4 hours ago

I hope the 54.54% that voted Trump realizes very overtly that they voted for this, and I hope the 41.41% that voted Harris never lets them forget.

[-] MisterD@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 hours ago

What about those who didn't vote?

[-] MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 27 points 9 hours ago

Shocker! No, not in the least.

Release the Trump/Epstein files

[-] wirebeads@lemmy.ca 71 points 10 hours ago

I don’t know how many times I need to spell it out Americans:

Line item #2

You need to deal with your worthless president hellbent on destroying the planet.

I like the Woody Guthrie line from his song Lindbergh about the American fascist collaborators in the 40s:

And I'm gonna tell you workers,
'fore you cash in your checks
They say "America First," but they mean "America Next!"
In Washington, Washington...

[-] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.dbzer0.com 19 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

Same Guthrie that wrote a couple song lyrics about Trump's father's properties and the racial divide that was there.

[-] Zombiepirate@lemmy.world 16 points 9 hours ago

From his 1955 song, Old Man Trump:

I suppose that Old Man Trump knows just how much racial hate
He stirred up in that bloodpot of human hearts
When he drawed that color line
Here at his Beach Haven family project

Beach Haven ain't my home!
No, I just can't pay this rent!
My money's down the drain,
And my soul is badly bent!
Beach Haven is Trump’s Tower
Where no black folks come to roam,
No, no, Old Man Trump!
Old Beach Haven ain't my home!

So that's what he meant about a "big betrayal" to take the story away from Epstein.

[-] IronpigsWizard@lemmy.world 36 points 10 hours ago

I have been saying for years he is going to donate Alaska to Russia...and now this.

I should not be, but I am entirely astonished right now, lol.

[-] Dragomus@lemmy.world 11 points 8 hours ago

Not donate, that would mean it's for a cause... Putin has said for a long time now he considers Alaska Russian property and wants it back. So Trump will just give it to him as if it was loaned from Russia.

This is also why Trump wants Canada and Greenland, he needs to find a way to balance things so it looks like a win for him... "We gave Alaska back to Russia, but won Greenland and Canada for the greatest usa, best deal ever!"

I would not be surprised in the slightest if he invades Greenland by next year.

At the very least he needs to find distractions to keep the American people drowning in chaos while the country slips even further in misery.

[-] IronpigsWizard@lemmy.world 6 points 8 hours ago

Yeah, I agree with everything you said.

What a fucking nightmare.

[-] blattrules@lemmy.world 19 points 10 hours ago

We can’t supply weapons to the country getting attacked anymore, but we’ll give up our natural resources to the country that started the war? Trump is a bitch.

[-] Juice@midwest.social 1 points 5 hours ago

Trump thinks Putin is Breznev

[-] sad_detective_man@leminal.space 4 points 5 hours ago

a sad mistake. not even half the eyebrow of that man

[-] Nightlight17776@lemmy.ca 14 points 11 hours ago

Woke up today to a headline that we are getting a stimulus check. Turns out it's just for Alaska. I keep saying if he does something good we have to acknowledge it but it just keeps not happening

[-] Boddhisatva@lemmy.world 13 points 10 hours ago

It's not a stimulus check from the federal government. It is an annual check for Alaskan residents handed out since the oil started to flow through the pipelines up there.

The Alaska Permanent Fund (APF) is a permanent investment fund established in 1976, and managed by the Alaska Permanent Fund Corporation corporation. It was created by an amendment to the state constitution. The idea was to put 25% of oil revenues into the fund to preserve it for future generation who would no longer have oil revenue to rely on. The original investment was about three quarters of a million dollars, the fund is now worth nearly $90 billion.

The stimulus check Is the Permanent Fund Dividend check given out every year based on the funds performance. Every year, anyone who has lived in the state for a full year and plans to stay indefinitely is eligible for a stimulus check.

It all sounds surprisingly socialist, for such a red state, and it's a big bonus for people struggling to get by up there. Pity everyone in the nation doesn't get a dividend check from big oil companies.
