Reminder:

A vote for Biden is a vote to watch this PoS "billionaire" die in federal custody.

[-] nexusband@lemmy.world 29 points 8 months ago

First thing is him being bankrupted to hell and back. Then he gets to suffer until his sentences are official. And THEN you'll see him die eventually in federal custody.

A little corner of my conscience has pity for him. Then I remind myself that he's one of the shittiest human beings alife and that corner is suddenly very vocal of him getting what he deserves...

[-] FunderPants@lemmy.ca 22 points 8 months ago

Remember all the women who suffer needlessly after the end of Roe v Wade and let your conscious be clear.

[-] nexusband@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

My conscience is clear, even when not taking all of those in account...hell, let's not even start with all the other stuff he did to deserve the worst

[-] DevCat@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

I would much rather see him stroke out in Georgia state prison while watching the election results come in, giving Biden a second term.

[-] nexusband@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

I mean, thats somewhere in the thick of it

[-] elbarto777@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

People are dead because of him. This is not hyperbole.

'BuT pAlEsTeIn'

As if Trump is not going to provide even more support to Israel.

[-] ChillPenguin@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

I would definitely want someone as president who I could at least vote and make my voice heard of my criticisms. Withholding your vote or voting for trump is a guarantee that the president will not give a shit about anything I care about. Including the Palestinian genocide.

So on one hand, a vote for Biden, I can at least voice my criticisms to my state and federal representatives. I can be pissed about genocide and try do... literally anything I can. Whether or not it brings any action is another story. On the other hand, trump will fuck absolutely everything. And provide the same, if not more support to genocide.

Seriously read this one people. The AutoTLDR bot did not capture the gravity of what's being said. This is undeniable, open authoritarianism and they're explicitly saying who is on the kill list

[-] nexusband@lemmy.world 15 points 8 months ago

1933 started the same. Unfortunately, the U.S. has nukes...I find it even more depressing that the future of everything lies in the hands of some general's simply not following the launch order. (And that scenario isn't as far fetched as I'd like it to be)

[-] makunamatata@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 8 months ago

Yes, first was some language, then some language and acting organized , and finally Hitler laid it all open exactly what he was going to have Germany do. This has all the marking of the same path.

[-] Telorand@reddthat.com 14 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

TBH, I'm not going to, but only because it's probably as bad as every other explicitly authoritarian thing he's said lately, and it's not going to change my vote.

We all can already see Trump is going full authoritarian for this run, and I'm not interested in giving The Guardian traffic to encourage them to keep producing ragebait. The only news I want to read about him is the one saying he's died.

[-] elbarto777@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

He's more dangerous dead than alive before being processed. The cult will just become stronger. Venezuela is still suffering the consequences of Chavez being dead. Chavez said as much: "I am more dangerous dead than alive." And he was right.

"Trump checking in for prison" is the headline I want to read in my lifetime.

If he dies of natural causes a few years later (maybe because of a serious case of bitterness), that's just the cherry on top.

Also, Trump just wants to play Hitler because he thinks that's what's going to help him win. It won't. If Trump was as strong as the media claims: (1) He would have won a reelection, or (2) His toy coup would have succeeded.

[-] SoylentBlake@lemm.ee 3 points 8 months ago

Fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine. Gawd.

[-] Supervivens@lemmy.world 56 points 8 months ago

He added: “We have languages coming into our country … they have languages that nobody in this country has ever heard of. It’s a horrible thing.”

Oh the horror! No! Not FOREIGN LANGUAGES! clutches pearls

[-] bmsok@lemmy.world 14 points 8 months ago

Eat shit, Donald.

Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,

With conquering limbs astride from land to land;

Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand

A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame

Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name

Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand

Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command

The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.

“Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she

With silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor,

Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,

The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.

Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,

I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”

God, next you know it people will be marrying Russians!

[-] elbarto777@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

How hot are these Russians?

[-] macrocephalic@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Like a Mercedes!

[-] Witchfire@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

Que terror!

[-] rayyy@lemmy.world 52 points 8 months ago

If you think he isn't planning another coup, you aren't really thinking.

[-] makunamatata@discuss.tchncs.de 22 points 8 months ago

The GOP supports this

[-] HAL_9_TRILLION@lemmy.dbzer0.com 28 points 8 months ago

organizers held a straw poll at the convention for Trump’s running mate: South Dakota governor Kristi Noem tied with tech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy

Boy you'd think the gallows set up for Pence would make a motherfucker think twice, but I guess you'd be wrong.

"Oh the consequences of supporting Conservative positions will never happen to me!"

-Ever Conservative ever.

[-] autotldr@lemmings.world 11 points 8 months ago

This is the best summary I could come up with:


“For hard-working Americans, November 5th will be our new liberation day,” Trump told a packed ballroom at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) at National Harbor in Maryland.

A series of popular hits – Abba’s Dancing Queen, Johnny Cash’s Ring of Fire, Sinéad O’Connor’s Nothing Compares 2 U, Elvis Presley’s Suspicious Minds – was followed by the tinny sound of Justice for All, a rendition of the Star-Spangled Banner sung by defendants jailed over their alleged roles in the January 6, 2021, insurrection.

As usual, Trump entered to Lee Greenwood’s God Bless the USA, hugged an American flag and painted an impossibly grim picture of an America overrun by bloodshed, chaos and violent crime.

Speaking days after the death of the Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, Trump hinted at a self-comparison by adding: “I stand before you today not only as your past and hopefully future president but as a proud political dissident.

Trump argued without evidence: “The Stalinist show trials being carried out at Joe Biden’s orders set fire not only to our system of government but to hundreds of years of western legal tradition.

Trump also spent time on his signature issue: he said his “first and most urgent action” as president would be the “sealing of the border, stopping the invasion ... send Joe Biden’s illegal aliens back home”.


The original article contains 1,120 words, the summary contains 222 words. Saved 80%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

[-] Donjuanme@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

Is this a platform? It's the only thing coming close to a platform I've heard from the right in ten years.
