Normally this would end a Presidency within days of making remarks like that.
Nothing about this is normal.
Don’t let them normalize this shit.
Join the next general strike or you’ll be the next victim he can brag about or blame you for being a terrorist.
One atrocity can dissolve a government. But one atrocity every day can keep even the most hated and incompetent leader in power for a long time. While we‘re busy processing what has happened yesterday he already committed another unforgivable crime. And it goes on and on and on. He simply overwhelms the people with atrocities to the point everyone fights their own battle and debates which of the many crimes is worse and needs to be addressed.
That’s been his style of political discourse forthis entire run. It’s a neverending fountain of shit with some of it sticking to the wall.
Yeah Trump has amiably shown what political commentators have said for decades, the US-system is too easily exploited by the executive concentrating power and removing the safeguards other countries have in their setups.
The only way to stop it from normalizing is by stopping it from happening. People can’t negate the normalizing process by sheer will.
Surely another protest and a strongly worded letter will set him right.
People over there should skip the “maybe he’ll blame me as a terrorist” fear, he’s doing that anyway, and just jump right to the action of clean-up. French-style.
Resist and unsubscribe, if everyone did what they could, might be more effective.
Also, go tax exempt.
Can you point to more than a single instance where when a controversy ended a presidency?
It was already normalized.
Fuck that draft dodger. He should send his kid to die over there.
No he should go there in person.
“We expect casualties with something like this,” [Donald Trump] said. “We have three, but we expect casualties - but in the end it’s going to be a great deal for the world.”
So, follow me on this. Iraq’s population was actually initially happy saddam had been deposed. And that turned into a $16T, 15 year, million life quagmire. And Iraq is still a weak, uncooperative country. I can’t imagine taking over Iran, a country that hates us and accepts its leadership, with weapons systems orders of magnitude greater in number, and far more modern equipment.
There can be no good deal for the world. I feel like I’m listening to a car salesman, but he’s the president. He’s literally bribing the military industrial complex to keep himself in power post-term and selling it as a good thing. Uuuuugh.
I feel like I’m listening to a car salesman
That’s all this asshole ever was and ever will be, really. Guy made shitty real estate deals as a nepobaby failson and had a very big mouth. That’s pretty much all he is.
Most of the people in NYC, and probably most of the people on the Eastern seaboard, tended to know who he was even by the early 90s. If they paid even the least bit of attention. But that stupid gameshow and that dumb book gave a whole lot of idiots the idea that he was really something more and somehow worthy of giving any power.
He bankrupted a casino TWICE.
Well if your goal is laundering money and not making a profit, it makes sense. Usually you do both at the same time though because casinos basically print money. Which just proves even more how stupid he is honestly.
Accepts their leadership with a gun to their head you mean?
Some yes, some no. They’re still a theocracy by popular decision, in spite of changing demographics. Last I checked, 60% happy, 40% unhappy
Not like the theocracy isn’t the fault of the US too.
Iran democratically elected Mohammad Mosaddegh who wanted to nationalize Iran’s own oil. In response the CIA and MI6 instigated a coup, installing Shah Reza Pahlavi, who then so much terrorized his own people that they had to rally behind religious extremist Ruhollah Khomeini to get rid of the Shah…
He’s always taken advantage of greedy people. Its his super power, and he’s got plenty of greedy people in America. The greedy people are okay with it because its what they would do if they had as much power as Trump.
Reminds me of Futurama:
Some soldier: Why is this godforsaken planet worth dying for?
Zapp Brannigan: Don’t ask me, you’re the one who’s going to be dying.
I remember watching TV shows and the president is often portrayed as a good person that would rather risk classified tech falling into the hands of enemies just to save the one remaining service member on the sinking ship/submarine…
Then you look at IRL and rewatch that scene and its just so silly lmao, completely unrealistic.
(I think it was Designated Survivor that I remember that scene from)
IF ONLY we get those benevolent fictional presidents IRL
How a PTSD-tormented vet hasn’t plugged this cunt yet is beyond me. He’s said at least a dozen things in the last 10 years that would justify it. I mean he let the fact that there were Russian bounties on US service members go completely unanswered. Nevermind the repugnant things he says about them, he lets them be the target of headhunting sociopaths because he’s too much of a fucking pussy to say a single word against Putin.
Signing up for military service under Trump is insane in the membrane.
lost track on how many MAGAs attempted to murder him already. I think 3 attempts so far.
but they are MAGA, so not the most competent or smart people
The bounty thing was never confirmed. That’s why Biden didn’t do anything about it either.
He’s a narcissistic psychopath. That means his brain is literally incapable of processing empathy, let alone understanding it.
…and lately, he’s a narcissistic psychopath with dementia.
Hey, all you American servicemen. All you ICE thugs, and everyone else with a gun who’s doing stuff because this guy is telling you to do stuff. Note how he thinks of you. Why are you risking your life for him, again?
I mean, I probably know why you ICE thugs are doing it - you get to go beat up and kill brown people, something you’ve always wanted to do. But you’re also cowards, so maybe consider that angle. He’ll sacrifice you in a heartbeat.
Well now the servicemen get to beatup brown people too.
“If they needed to die to distract people from the Epstein files, so be it.”
“Empathy is a sin.” crowd continues to show who they are.
reporters need to follow up on specifics of this “deal”
It involved big macs and fries
JFC… 😯
Service members that voted Trump, do you get it yet?
Christ, what a fucking asshole.
the art of the deal… you get money and meaningless death ! I get to keep my Israel sponsors happy
