Vanity Fair trying to top of the list for targets of a drone strike, kristallnacht 2024 edition is going to be via reaper
In case you think thats outside of the realm of possibility, I would redirect to you to some recent supreme burrito rulings
I'm from the other side of the world, and when I was a kid, we were taught the story of Abraham Lincoln in school... how he never gave up. Lincoln grew up poor, his business failed, his wife died, and he lost elections again and again. But finally, he became the president. So, what lesson do we learn from this, kids? - like that.
Now it feels like we’ll be teaching kids about Trump—34 felony counts, 6 bankruptcies, 2 impeachments, 1 violent insurrection, and a couple dozen rape accusations... but hey, he didn’t give up either! xD
Did none of your classmates point out that Lincoln's bad luck was terminal?
As an aside how was the fact he used to fight bears for fun not in a school book? You want engagement tell them Abraham Lincoln used to drop haymakers on bears for fun.
i don't think posts about him are appropriate here. the kind of dystopia wants to bring is not the boring kind. it's straight up cartoonish shit, like the government from v for vendetta
I thought you said "the government from V" at first.
What devil has this guy made a deal with? No matter how stupid, obnoxious or abrasive he is, people worship him. He constantly screws himself over and then before he has to face serious consequences he trips on a rock and somehow everything's alright again for him. At this point he literally can shoot someone on 6th Avenue and get away of it. I think Trump is solid evidence that we're living in a simulation and somebody is fucking with us, because life just doesn't work the way it works for him. Somebody's thumb is on the scale.
A friend on FB asked his friends why they voted for Trump. One woman responded 'because he loves all of us and wants nothing more than to make our lives better."
What. The. Actual. Fuck?
The day after he was convicted on his 30+ felonies, he had the biggest donation day of any politician in US history, probably Human history. Jeff Bezos prevented any news outlet he owned of endorsing Harris, Elon Musk Did a million dollar raffle for Trump voters. They DO NOT WANT to pay taxes, and they DO NOT want to pay people who make their money. That's all this has ever been, and they know Trump would fuck his mothers corpse for a nickle and will absolutely shift the tax burden to the poor and middle class as hard as he can, and he has a majority in the legislature, and full stop OWNS the most extreme and corrupt Supreme Court we've ever seen, and he will stack it even higher this term. It is a GREAT time to be a corrupt politician in America, no one is going to taste a single consequence for this fuckery.
What devil has this guy made a deal with?
He cut a Faustian Bargain with the soul of America. And like Faust, he gets to spend his days capering and clowning about his social superiors, making unholy mischief in a kingdom that is itself revealed to be terminally corrupt and wholely damned.
Trump took the Objectivist philosophy that's guided this country for a generation and embodied it. He is Reaganism in its manifest state. Just a guy entirely out for himself who has convinced 71M other people to do the same.
It's 80 degrees in November. America has reelected a climate change denier. SUV sales continue to rise.
Literally in a car with an immigrant right now who voted Trump because things were cheaper before covid.
FFS.
Anecdotal evidence that the right is for the uneducated.
Anecdotally... About 75% of the right that I know/met.
The other 25% is a mix of racism, greed, and conspiracy theory.
So sad that dumbasses who think the President controls grocery store prices and gas prices have done this to us all.
I voted for Harris and my state went red for Trump as usual. Just sad and disgusted at it all today.
Time and time again I remember this meme
Basically democracy is government after the people, by the people, for the people . . . but people are retarded . . .
A few thousand years ago the ancient Greeks said:
"δὶς ἐξαμαρτεῖν οὐκ ἀνδρὸς σοφοῦ".
Roughly meaning: A wise person doesn't make the same mistake twise.
But again some people keep doing it
I think you're understanding it the wrong way. It does say "A wise person"
Those of us who gave it our all don’t deserve this.
There is a saying...
Make a mistake once and you can call it learning, make a mistake twice and you are eh... not so smart
Americans need education.
So guilliani is gonna be bailed out, Vince McMahon is gonna get a pardon too, same with Elon for whatever he wants to do, and pretty much every evil billionaire out there. I also think Trump has no interest in governing, and this administration will be Vance and his project 25 people running the show
Is it too early to start talking about the abysmal failure of the "Vote Blue No Matter Who" strategy?
Fuck this shit
Shithole country.
The entire rest of the world needs to be on watch, trump is a potential threat to other countries
Lol and go where? From what I can tell, Canada has a housing crisis and is tilting right. Western Europe is already getting sick of immigrants and dealing with the far right.
You realize that unless you have a second citizenship it's not easy to just up and leave for another country?
Even that isn't enough unless you have a lot of money laying around and some kind of support network in whatever country you plan to escape to.
I can't even afford to live HERE, in the country I was born and raised in. How do you expect me to move somewhere else and gain citizenship there?
