A loyal army of followers, a huge disinformation network, and a party of soul-selling cowards can crowd out facts for a long time. But eventually, reality catches up.
The presidency of Donald Trump is now officially in collapse. His war is … not exactly a disaster, but it sure isn’t the cakewalk he envisioned when he sprang it on the American people and the world with no notice on February 28. His firing of Attorney General Pam Bondi because she wasn’t sycophantic enough indicates a man who is utterly incapable of understanding anything about how democracy is supposed to work. His economy is a wreck and may well get worse. His proposed budget, especially the half-trillion-dollar increase to the Pentagon, is wildly out of whack with the priorities of the public.
I could go on—and on. But on top of all that, Trump’s purchase on reality, tenuous at the best of times, is slipping fast. Think about what it takes for the “leader of the free world” (a phrase we are now obliged to tuck inside irony quotes) to wake up on Easter morning—the day of the resurrection of the same Jesus Christ in whose name “War Secretary” Pete Hegseth says we are killing Iranians—and post this unhinged and inflammatory comment on social media: “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell—JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP.”
I’ve been hearing this shit since his first term. He always seems to come out ok.
free fall
look inside
40%
same as it ever was
yes but these headlines continue to get hopium clicks.
Hopium
mmmhm. its all gonna come tumbling down aaaaany day now.
but for real this time.
sure, sure internet. Been hearing this bullshit since 2017.
So tired of this shit. He’ll never see consequences for anything he’s done, criminal or otherwise.
The rich are still getting richer, everything is going to plan.
Pretty sure America is in total free fall. Good. Fucking so tired of Americans and their bullshit and illegal wars.
I am thoroughly enjoying watching the shit stain that is the American Empire fail.
Chinas going to be the next dollar reserve. A rapist completely fucked up the largest economy in 15 months. Fucking losers voted in this cunt, twice.
Get fucked.
Yeah, just about to say, it’s the country falling this time, not just this president. The problems are structural and deeper than Trump.
For the second paragraph I can’t agree: I’m not enjoying it because there’s suffering everywhere because of it. They’re reaping what they sow and I can’t say I’m sympathetic but it’s not enjoyable.
I can’t argue with the last and I understand the sentiment too.
Way to generalize and decide that every American is contemptible and therefore deserving of this fate. Your comment history makes a pretty solid case for presuming that you’re either a naturally caustic, bitter, hateful person, you’re experiencing a traumatic event, or you’re stuck in trauma, none of which could be pleasant. I’m sorry that you’re living those experiences, and I hope that you find some inner peace and a path to humanity and compassion again. To quote Frodo and Gandalf:
“I wish none of this had happened.” “So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.”
I don’t like hearing people say stuff like that either, but then I remember what I’ve said about Russians under Putin, and…
Statistically, they are contemptable because they allowed this to happen through action or inaction.
Ya’ll got KKK and shit still out there. Europes got problems, but atleast the racist gangs don’t have world-renowned branding.
Sherman should have burned more shit and ya’ll should have crushed the south properly instead of that half-assed shit.
It wasn’t obvious which side of the 2nd world war you’d fall in on either, until Japan spat in your face, you were happy selling trucks and guns to both sides. It is suspicious how similar the various truck and tank motors from both sides were.
Ya’ll come over here and abuse your position of power to make Europeans suck shit with your assbackwards copyright law and ass backwards anticircumvention laws so that we can’t even use our own devices and data.
The sooner the United States balkanises the better. Fragmenting this bully into California (west coast), New York (New England + Chicago) and The Farm (everything else 'cept some percentage of Texas that ends up being Mexico or Cartel country is my prediction.
It is delightful watching the whole fucking thing explode simply because people couldn’t vote for a woman.
The Taliban won on 9/11 when you started turning your policies inwards on yourselves and you didn’t realize you were giving them what they wanted. Then your leadership exploited you under that pretense for oil. At least they dropped the pretense this time.
Need I remind you that your tech sector is trying to crawl up my fucking nose to identify me, whereas Epstein used a free US gmail inbox that was under monitoring for a long, long time. They allowed it to continue.
Its all very deserved.
Ahhh, so those of us who didn’t have a say in how Reconstruction was administered, who did vote for a woman, who have never been able to afford to travel to Europe, who have no position of power from which to “make Europeans suck shit with your assbackwards copyright law and ass backwards anticircumvention laws so that we can’t even use our own devices and data.”, who have been trying to just survive in a rigged game that keeps pitting us against our other citizens, while also struggling to put food on our tables, just… fuck us then, I guess, because we happened to be born in this fucked up place?
Surely if they were born here, they’d be taking up arms!
I dunno man, ya’ll carpetbombed countries and ended a lot of innocent lives.
Consequences are coming home, man. They didn’t wanna get carpet bombed for being born in a fucked up place either, but ya’ll still deliver euphamisms like “patriot” missiles.
See, you keep using the word “y’all” like we ALL support what this regime is doing, but we don’t. I agree absolutely that American Imperialism and capitalism are driving this train over the cliff, but to generalize and characterize all of the citizens of any country under the same umbrella moves nothing positive forward.
Your countrymen voted as a block, and your fellow countrymen decided this fate for you, similarly to the draw of fate that lead to those iranians being in the wrong place at the wrong time to get a missile dropped on them.
Just because you didn’t approve doesn’t mean your nation didn’t. Sorry. You’re not special, and nor were those iranian girls in that school.
Your obstinate refusal to address the core points of my observation and instead cling to this ridiculous proposition that every citizen of a nation that does something that you don’t approve of is worthy of a violent death demonstrates that you have no viable suggestions for solutions, and you only want to see the world burn because you’re throwing a tantrum like a toddler. Not unlike our own Glorious Leader. May the two of you share the fire of all bloodthirsty war mongers.
What an American trait you have, to make generalizations about an entire country’s citizens based on their government lying, cheating, stealing and ignoring what they want.
An American trait is war. You can call it as you like, but I’ve been on this earth for over 5 decades and in those 5 decades the U.S. has done nothing but harm the planet.
• I was born at the tail end of Vietnam. Your populace could have made changes to the industrial war complex, you didn’t.
• I was young during the Afghanistan war, your populace could have made changes to the industrial war complex, you didn’t.
• I was a teenager during the first gulf war, your populace could have made changes to the industrial war complex, you didn’t.
• I was a young adult during the second golf war, your populace could have made changes to the industrial war complex, you didn’t.
• I was in my 30’s during the weapons of mass destruction and the Afghanistan war, your populace could have made changes to the industrial war complex, you didn’t.
• I am in my 50’s now and once again you are declaring war and destroying innocent lives. Once again your populace has had over 5 decades to make changes to the industrial war complex. You haven’t.
America is first in line to deliver “freedom” to other countries as you see fit, but cower behind your televisions and social media when you have to defend your own freedoms on your own land and say “this isn’t me, this isn’t us”. News flash, it is. Americans carry this whether you voted for it or not. This is America, embrace it or fight against the tyranny!
You certainly sound more and more like you belong in America. How convenient for you to sit behind social media and blame others for doing the same. You’re nothing but a bitter, rabid moron looking for any reason to spew hate at an entire populace different than you… Much like the American republicans. But sure, I’m sure Americans love what’s happening to them and others. They overwhelmingly love the idea of bombing innocent children, out of control housing prices, gas and groceries becoming prohibitively expensive, medical bills through the roof and vital, life saving medications they can’t afford all while wages stay almost 20 years behind inflation. Yes, there are idiots in America who staunchly vote for this, just as there are people in every country who vote for their equivalent. You should actually consider that a country is not made up of a single, monolithic populace. But that would mean you need to be able to think critically
How do you feel about it, tho
You sure that’s not just his diaper you’re smelling?
