Its "I only speak english and bad english" you uncultured fuck
*badder english
And nazi, he speaks nazi too. That sieg heil in the photo didn't happen by coincidence.
It's an accurate snapshot of the American executive branch right now... the moron MAGA President asleep at the wheel, the moron MAGA underlings putting on full display their idiotic rendition of fascism.
Whilst spending untold billions on military gear for ice to violate our constitutional rights.
It’s an accurate snapshot of the American executive branch right now
Don't sell us short, it's also an accurate snapshot of the legislative and judicial branches, as well as about 30% of the general population!
Sabes cómo se llama uno que habla tres idiomas? Trilingüe.
Sabes cómo se llama uno que habla dos? Bilingüe.
Sabes como se llama uno que habla un sólo idioma? Americano. Se llama americano.
This fucking moron made himself the punchline of the joke that we invented to mock those like him.
As an American, I laughed.
So Simplified English instead of Traditional English, right?
Honestly, the way they're speaking. I'm fine with them calling it "american".
It gives the rest of us a heads up that we should use small words so they can understand.
Literally the Colbert Effect in action.
This guy wants to be the parody of an idiot.
Colbert was the funniest conservative comedian but I stopped liking him after he switched parties.
I’m not sure if this is a joke or if you actually think he was a conservative on the Colbert show
Edit: oh wait it’s you, you got me
He just wants to appeal to the collection of people who do like that sort of thing being said.
I remember an incident a bit back where the White House Press Secretary said "your mom" to a journalist's question, followed up by Trump's communications director saying the same thing. Those are not people who are going to let that idly slip, much less at the same time
their full-time job is using speech to politically influence people.
Trump announced Thursday that he will soon meet with Putin in Budapest, Hungary, to discuss an end to the war in Ukraine. The choice has raised questions, because Putin is wanted by the International Criminal Court. However, Hungary appears unlikely to cooperate with the warrant and is in the process of leaving the court, the Associated Press reports.
When HuffPost asked the White House who chose the location for the meeting, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt replied, “Your mom did.” White House Communications Director Steven Cheung also followed up with, “Your mom,” the outlet reports.
He probably wanted to say "English (simplified)"
We have the dumbest leaders ever," one person commented. "What a weird thing to be proud of," a second person added"
this is some concise journalism. they didnt bother to even note if the people they were quoting were posting on twitter or a facebook thread in any way. just said "some dude said this".
the irish star is a dirt rag tabloid, this isnt a source worth posting. surely other platforms are reporting on this
"I only speak one language"... to a room full of mostly bilingual people who also live in (central or south) America. 🤦🤦🤦
"Don't worry: We will make sure to use only small words for you"
I don't speak American
Can someone translate
I'm not a very fluent speaker of asshole, but I'll try. I think this little man said that his severe lack of
- education
- basic decency
did not allow him to
- speak any other language than the one he was born with
- know that this language is called "English", and an "American" language does not exist
- realise this was a flaw rather than a badge of honour proudly to be worn in a diplomatic context.
USA is special kind of stupid that this probably gets a huge cheering back home.
USA is a special kind of stupid, but a majority still oppose war with Iran and... you know... raping children, so Hegseth isn't too popular on the home front either.
A bullet in each of their brains would be too kind.
Add a cactus in each of their asses and we might be getting somewhere
Wait until he learns that English is a hybrid of Latin, French and German.
Wait until he learns
We're gonna be here a while…
and Celtic, Greek, Dutch, Turkish, various Indian/South Asian languages and Arabic.
Not to mention the "French" and "German" you mention were actually Saxon and Norman which became those languages.
imagine him thinking he has to speak LATIN in latin america. hes a mean drunk.
This is a nationalistic move. To remove the washington regime away from other english speaking countries and brand itself as something larger. It makes the washington regime seem entitled to landgrabs. It makes washingtonlings feel superior to other english speakers.
It is as stupid as nationalism is stupid, but nationalism is great for ruling people.
White nationalists are the weakest and most brittle snowflakes.
Next executive order: English is henceforth called American.
I could see them push to make the education system rename English classes to American classes and throw in a bunch of culture and propaganda into the curriculum to justify it.
He only speaks War Crime.
The literal dumbest people run everything.
Once upon a time we had a deep state. We replaced it with a dumb state. D'OH
What language were they speaking in England before they stole one from USA?
They should then switch to spanish as their lingua franca for that meeting (brazillians could pull if off).
Or switch to esperanto.
“American Exceptionalism” is his religion.
Actually he only speaks Douche.
