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.

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.

[-] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 55 points 2 months ago

As an American, I laughed.

So Simplified English instead of Traditional English, right?

[-] Atomic@sh.itjust.works 30 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 26 points 2 months ago

Colbert was the funniest conservative comedian but I stopped liking him after he switched parties.

[-] fahfahfahfah@lemmy.billiam.net 21 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

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.

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/karoline-leavitt-trump-putin-meeting-budapest-b2847669.html

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.

[-] Jiral@lemmy.org 69 points 2 months ago

He probably wanted to say "English (simplified)"

[-] sauerkrautsaul@lemmus.org 58 points 2 months ago

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

[-] markstos@lemmy.world 49 points 2 months ago

"I only speak one language"... to a room full of mostly bilingual people who also live in (central or south) America. 🤦🤦🤦

[-] Thteven@lemmy.world 22 points 2 months ago

They should only speak Spanish to him just to piss him off.

I don't speak American

Can someone translate

[-] IratePirate@feddit.org 20 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

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.

[-] 7101334@lemmy.world 33 points 2 months ago

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.

Wait until he learns that English is a hybrid of Latin, French and German.

[-] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 21 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

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.

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.

[-] SoupBrick@pawb.social 18 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

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.

They should then switch to spanish as their lingua franca for that meeting (brazillians could pull if off).
Or switch to esperanto.
