I like your post. 50 years from now, high school students are going to open their US History book and read what the orange bumble fuck said during a war he started. Humiliating and perhaps the Americans might learn a lesson from the MAGA disaster.

If americans could learn we wouldn't have a 2nd trump presidency. We're on average stupider than bart with the cupcakes.

Beautiful. Thanks for compiling this.

From that, he does seem to have been getting a lot more agitated over the past week. We'll see how that translates into actions.

That's the thing I was wondering about the TACO meme. Is it good to mock him on chickening out when it is best for everybody that he does chicken out?

Iran has been calling his bluff at every point. Not surprising.

Hilarious to see. Would be great if it didn't ruin everything while being hilarious though.

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

Republicans had a choice. They chose to make things worse. They can't complain about laughing out of frustration or dark humor. Not after decades of sabotaging America so they could finally control USA.

[-] HuudaHarkiten@piefed.social 88 points 1 month ago

Republicans had a whole bunch of choices. They still have a lot of choices. They keep choosing to do the stupid and/or evil choice. I'll be laughing at them and what happens to Americans for years or decades.

I'm more concerned about the rest of the world having to deal with the consequences of moronic republican decisions.

I’m more concerned about the rest of the world having to deal with the consequences of moronic republican decisions.

This is the worst part of it. I didn't vote for that moronic child fucker. I can't even vote in that shithole because I don't live there. Yet, I'm getting fucked, and roughly, because of them.

But hey, 'don't go "all americans" because some of them didn't vote for him'. Well fuck you! You didn't vote for him, but what about us? Getting screwed by someone who's not even in our continent just because he fucked kids and don't want to go to jail for it?

[-] HuudaHarkiten@piefed.social 32 points 1 month ago

Yeah I'm getting a bit tired of the "I didn't vote for him" thing from Americans. I understand that they didn't but from the outside, I can't really start singling out people, so as a result I blame America as a whole. They should have fixed their system decades ago, but they didn't care enough.

I sympathize for all the anti-trump Americans... but they are doing as much as the Republicans are doing, to remove him. Which is fuck all. Going on a parade on a Saturday once in two months doesn't count as doing something, no matter how "historically large" it was.

Oh but don't you know Kamala Harris wasn't a good enough candidate so some Americans couldn't bring themselves to vote for her. 

Fuck those guys even more than MAGA. 

[-] jumjummy@lemmy.world 31 points 1 month ago

Absolutely. Anyone who was eligible to vote in the US that didn’t vote for Kamala Harris come the general election is part of the reason we have Trump. These are objective facts at this point.

“But Gaza!”, “both sides”, “NeoLiberals”, etc. are all flimsy excuses.

You want progressives to have a chance of winning? Make the Republican Party lose so badly that they aren’t contenders ever again. Now you can start to differentiate within the Democrat party to get some true progressives.

Nah, it's worse. Every voter that didn't vote in those elections just said: "I'm ok with both candidates". They have decided that choosing Harris or PedoHitler was the same thing. Is not that she wasn't "good enough", it's that they said she was AS GOOD AS PEDOHITLER.

So, hey, Americans, your president is openly threatening genocide. You might uh, want to do something about that. Just a thought.

[-] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 116 points 1 month ago

Open to suggestions.

I don't think any of y'all know how well protected this asshole is

[-] KoboldCoterie@pawb.social 91 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Seriously, there seems to be this delusion that we all just have magic buttons that execute our politicians on a whim. What the fuck do you expect us to do, specifically, to fix this?

[-] Warl0k3@lemmy.world 63 points 1 month ago

In pretty much every other western country, the populace could reasonably exert force over their national armed forces because those armed forces are reasonably sized. But the entire active duty military of Germany has fewer personnel than the on-base population of a single US military base (JBLM 210k, Germany 185k), and JBLM is only the 4th largest base in the US....

[-] KoboldCoterie@pawb.social 42 points 1 month ago

Not to mention, our military budget is more than the GDP of 85% of the countries in the world, and it's only getting bigger. The proposed budget for next year is more than 90% of the world's countries' GDP. Think about that for a few minutes.

Its been proven that the impeachment doesn't do shit. Infact the last time we impeached our president he was allowed to run and be elected again.

Unanimously supported or is it again an isolated democrat move? Asking because it’s kindof annoying to let USA delete a whole civilization…

The US had a perfectly good nuclear deal with Iran, but Trump chose to rip it up nine years ago because it had Obama's name on it.

Should come to no surprise that Iran don't want to end this crisis diplomatically with the same guy who stabbed them in the back just to spite the Democrats...

Trump sparked anger and concern around the globe on Tuesday morning with his post, which read, “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS? We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end. God Bless the Great People of Iran!”

I've not read the full wording of his Truth Social post until now, but why does it read like he's trying to cut a wrestling promo?

I mean his description of the US airman rescue operation in yesterday's press conference where he called the Iranian army a "hostile, very talented, very good, very evil military" was giving me Danhausen vibes...

Out of curiosity I checked out how Fox News is covering this shit show. Totally fucking unhinged is an understatement. He could livestream eating a baby and they'd be praising his bold nutritional choices.

It's wild. Meanwhile, other mainstream media channels are accused of leftist propaganda by these deranged lunatics, simply for reporting the facts.

Huh. Weird. Turns out when you show a demented willingness to cause mass genocide, people might get the impression that negotiations aren't really an option anymore.

This could be a blessing in disguise. He called Biden a retard on Monday. He's now upped the threats a notch.

Could be he got some very bad health news from Walter Reed medical over the weekend.
