This is hell
Can anyone, anyone at all, please tell us what we can do about any of this? Everyday multiple times a day it feels like more fire alarms are going off and everyone keeps reporting on it but no one is doing anything to actually put out the fires. I’m so exhausted.
just do the funny thing
We really are turning into North Korea.
russia actually
US institute of Epstein& friends.
Your prez is insane.
I mean if you haven’t noticed.
Oh, we have. The US is divided into two camps: (1) we see the insanity and we hate it or (2) we see the insanity but it hurts people we don’t like more than us so it is still cool and we can mock the libs and trans folks and stuff for suffering.
Also (3) Fox News tells you what to think and only shows select clips of Trump to keep up the charade of competence
We have. Every day. Whether we want to or not.
It feels like that fucking asshole has been raping our minds for years.
for ~13 years now, actually. this guy has been nonstop in our political zeitgeist
The US version of The Apprentice started in 2004, three years after Trump bragged about having the tallest building in NYC the same day as the 9/11 attacks. The public should have rejected him then.
he also was the subject of much ridicule in hip hop from how he treated his tenants back in the 80s. the #1 thing with his cult of personality is the best time to realize he’s evil was 50 years ago. the second best time is today
we know
Criminally so. Yeah, a few billion people have noticed.
She described the U.S. Institute of Peace as “a bloated, useless entity that blew $50 million per year while delivering no peace.”
"Now, the Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace, which is both beautifully and aptly named
Wow there’s actually a sliver of truth in there. She’s calling it a bloated, useless entity that wastes money and states that the addition of Trump’s name to the organization is very apt.
She described the U.S. Institute of Peace as “a bloated, useless entity that blew $50 million per year while delivering no peace.”
So, here’s the thing about Trumpworld. The critiques themselves often aren’t wrong.
The problem with Trumpworld is that you’ve got meatheads like Hegseth and Noem whining about how America’s Gone Woke with mushy liberal institutions, when what they’re complaining about is someone painting a rainbow flag on the side of a cruise missile.
The USIoP is practically sprouting from the hip of the IMF and World Bank, institutions notorious for their roles in global privatization of public commons, international arms dealing to US allies, and libertarian market-based propagandizing. They’re outgrowths of American finance capital and heavily geared towards commoditizing foreign markets and prying them open for US banks and businesses to lay claim to the interior at deeply discounted rates.
The USIoP operates as a diplomatic core that can try and rationalize and institutionalize foreign occupation after the US has entered a region. And there’s no better example of this than their role in authoring policy to pacify Iraqi resistance movements at the end of the Bush tenure.
A more objective observer might ask why we need Congress to continue to intercede in Iraqi politics five long years after we’d announced “Mission Accomplished” from the deck of a nearby aircraft carrier. But neoconservatives would sneeringly refute that Iraqis simply aren’t ready to govern themselves and still need Americans to guide them towards a liberal democracy.
Obviously, Trumpworld disagrees. They think the solution to every foreign policy dispute is to murder dissidents en mass. And that’s what we’re seeing in Venezuela.
But USIoP hasn’t done anything to keep us out of Venezuela. Or to expedite our exit from Iraq or Afghanistan. Or to prevent us from bombing Yemen or Iran. Or to avoid overthrowing the governments in Libya and Syria. Or to diffuse the conflict in Ukraine. Or to end the blockade and Israeli-induced famine in Gaza. So what role are they fulfilling?
So what role are they fulfilling?
Well, right now, the role of fluffing up Donald Trump’s ego with big silver letters at taxpayer expense.
I feel this a lot in this administration. The government actually is too big and it actually does need to be reigned in and seeing some (not all) of these institutions destroyed or crippled is actually gratifying for exactly the reasons you mention. I just wish it wasn’t accompanied with a side of “here’s some piss on your head, it must be raining.” These idiot cosplaying shitheads are not the right tools for the job.
Silver? SILVER??? if it’s not the tackiest gold he’ll be insulted.
No, they’re actually silver. The fact that they didn’t have the finest 1k gold coating was the only thing about all this that surprised me.
Quiet, piggy
Can he just die already? Of natural causes I mean.
Rocks is natural.
Or wherever
I would genuinely celebrate his death by any cause whatsoever
The world will, without a doubt, be a better place when he is no longer present. Though I hope his dementia holds on to him for a long while.
Party at my place when it happens. Date TBD
Party everywhere when it happens dude
Lets not be picky.
I’m just covering my bases so I don’t get banned (Reddit habit)
And have jd vance? Id actually rather have this dementia patient.
The fallacy of this is how JD Vance and all that have voted no to release the Epstein files should go to prison. So in reality we should have Vance, we would need an entire re vote
I’d natural causes him for you if I could get away with it. I should have natural causesed his whole inauguration.
I don’t wish him death, but I also don’t wish him a calm and peaceful one.
I don’t wish him death but I will read his obituary with great satisfaction.
I do wish him death.
I don’t hate Death that much I’d subject him to Krasnov’s presence
Hey hey now. Speaking openly may get you banned and I don’t want that. Lol
Iron and carbon occur naturally
S.S. Institute of Racist Pedophiles just doesn’t have the same ring to it.
No matter what he does, it’s never going to replace that emptiness of not winning the Nobel Peace Prize, and I am here for it.
I hereby nominate him for the Nobel Pizza Prize
How’s about the fucking Darwin award
He already reproduced, so that disqualifies him
What a desperate loser this guy is
Donald Trump is an even stupider man that I thought if he thinks history will remember him kindly. All he can do with the small remainder of his natural lifespan is pave the way for the next narcissistic authoritarian dictator to come to power, and that person won’t want Trump’s name all over shit.
Whether Trump succeeds in killing American democracy, or whether American democracy somehow survives, Trump’s legacy will be cast as dog shit. The next dictator would want to blame Trump for everything wrong, while a resurgence of democracy would simply be able to tell the truth.
Literally the only way Trump has any chance of looking good is if one of his children succeeds him. I don’t think that is very likely, but I’ve been wrong before.
8 wars? Outrageously lying to show overt loyalty.
It’s gonna be 9 by next week.
I thought it was already 9. Didn’t he stop the war between Antarctica and Canada or something?
He stopped himself from invading Greenland, that counts right?
He then directed his staff to bomb several boats of migrants and shoot some more church pastors in the face with tear gas canisters.
The only way he could effectively run it into the ground was to attach his name on it.
