    Looking from outside in I just can not fathom how any country. And that’s any country at all, ever. Could fall so low that Donvict fucking Drumpf not only has the option but also the ability, to throw away centuries of law and history away and take control.
    It just doesn’t make sense.

    The guys a fucking imbecile, there’s no evil genius inside of him. Evil, yes. Genius, fuck no.
    His professor at uni called him the dumbest student he ever had.

    Yet this failed reality TV star, and even worse businessman (plus convicted criminal and rapist, paedo, con man, racist etc etc), just bumbled in to politics and is now about to rip up their constitution and wipe his shitty arse on it without much pushback.

    Fucking hell, make it make sense. Fucks sake.

      Sitting on the inside here. I’m perpetually astounded as well. Very little of this suprises me anymore but plenty of things shock me.

      He’s a stereotypical conman; so shallow, so obvious. And yet, my family and former friends continue to slurp up his bullshit. It’s so fucking stupid. He’s so stupid. On paper, many of these people are smarter than the orange used car salesman.

      It’s difficult to describe how astounded I really am. Black magic or aliens would make more sense. I would find a novel or show with this unrealistic.

      I wonder if I’ll ever understand?

        Ey yo. The “No Kings” Protest, people like Newsom, Prizker, AOC, Bernie and Mamdani still give me some hope that your country isn’t lost - and with it, the NATO and all free countries.

        • Sons of Gondor! Of Rohan! My brothers. I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me. A day may come when the courage of Men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day. An hour of wolves and shattered shields when the Age of Men comes crashing down, but it is not this day! This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good earth, I bid you stand, Men of the West! *

      This has been in the works for a century and it’s just finally happened.

      They tried it once already in the 30s when Bush Jr’s grandfather Prescott Bush and his pals tried to get Smedley Butler to overthrow Roosevelt.

      Fortunately back then they had a general in mind with some ethics and he didn’t play along. This time they found Trump.

      Because he’s just the personality in front of this shit, this has been brewing for decades. He has no clue what he’s doing, but they let him because it works as a distraction while the millers and voughts dismantle things.

      Much like Regan and Bush Junior, Trump is the front man to smarter (but not really smart) people who orchestrate everything. He just happens to be broadly aligned with what they want, and every now and again they throw him a bone with his personal vendettas while allowing his family to make obscene amounts of money via various scams and bribes.

      What is truly astounding is how many people voted for the orange buffoon a second time, and still support him now. He has always been very clear as to what he is, what he will do, yet they still vote for him? Racism and hate has to be a powerful perfume that covers up the rancid stench of Trump and his goons.

      People still calling him smart is the thing that makes me shit my pants. I don’t know how anyone can think that who has just heard him talk for more than 10 seconds. This isn’t even hyperbolic. It’s like north korea, but they don’t want to kiss their leaders ass they have to. Americans bend over to get fucked harder, because they like it.
