It'll be remarkable if he doesn't get assassinated in the next few years.
He and Elon should keep making public appearances together.
Elon Musk’s next public appearance:
Trump is going to start wearing Baron as a hat next, following in Elon's footsteps.
lol as if he could carry any more weight and not just topple the fuck over like a traffic cone stood on its head
Im pretty sure Baron can just throw Trump at this point, kid is fucking massive.
I was full of sympathy for that kid until I found out he's possibly been torturing and killing animals. From his supposed former behavioral therapist. It seems like he might have been lying though. He does have a photo of him with Barron and some other kids. I'm not going to link because I don't have to spread possible misinformation.
I don't know what to think. I hate living in the post-truth world.
The sad part for me was hearing his “I like my sootcase” viral clip. That kid has a strong Slovenian accent, and the only person around him with that accent is his mother. Even if she was his primary caretaker, his accent would have been dulled by the fact that he’s around so many Americans with American accents… But nope, that accent is every bit as strong as his mother’s. The poor kid likely never gets attention from anyone except Melania. He has almost certainly been isolated from everyone around him for a long time, because he has really only picked up on his mother’s accent.
And that kind of isolation will wreak havoc on a developing child.
Then they’ll put on a trench coat and try to sneak into a movie theater in a Far Side comic.
Elon will be the one who assassinates him.
That assumes a level of competency I doubt musk is capable of.
Why would he? Is JD Vance more likely to put up with his BS?
That's a terrible awful thing, don't give people ideas. Don't keep posting that everywhere and getting it in people's heads. Don't remind people that there is so few billionaires compared to common folks that it would be almost trivial to accomplish with large majority support
It would be a shame if any of that got into his hamberders
That's why they constantly surround themselves with children.
At some point people won't care anymore, plenty of children were killed because they were part of the royal family of their country.
Or , you know, shot in school.
Tell that to the Romanovs
Problem is, it won't be someone trying to restore democracy. It'll be someone else trying to take the throne.
Putin seems to be well guarded. I see no reason why Trump wouldn’t be the same.
This is not an endorsement of violence against any government official.
putin also periodically moves between his bunkers in the urals and foritfied palaces often, and alway keep his staff at a 40m table.
We don't have that long.
Disappointing, more like
I mean you guys can try voting him out next election if the assassination idea doesn't work out
Well, he did just take over the Federal Elections Commission and every red state has pledged undying loyalty to him... so... yeah... not sure how great our elections are going to be in the future.
If American democracy still exists in four years, he won't be eligible to run in the next election to begin with.
If it doesn't, voting him out obviously wouldn't work.
He wont be, because every american, whom isn't trying to do it or organizing the deed, is either a pussy and/or a moron. If an american reads this and think "surely danekrae doesn't mean me, I voted against the rapist"... Yes, you.
Edit: See... Morons. "I'll downvote, that'll show them"
My mom says I'm cool.
Just so you're aware, people aren't downvoting "to show you." They're downvoting because your comment is stupid. You can try to make yourself think the downvotes are actual validation if you want, but they aren't. It's people who think you're an idiot. Whether it happens are not, it isn't because there's no one in the US (or world) who isn't a pussy who'd be willing to do it. There's plenty of reasons people won't/haven't/shouldn't assassinate him.
So edgy
I'm just impressed this guy knows every American well enough to say this.
They must be one of those doge hackers!
People who use "whom" but use it incorrectly deserve downvotes.
Yaa like Trump has ever been on or near public transit. He doesn't believe in it either
To be fair public transit would be a lot less appealing if you would meet people like Trump or Musk on there.
America is wild man. You’ve got a dictator doing what ever he wants and then you’ve got states suing, I don’t even know who they’re suing (Trump?), judges blocking orders and stuff.
seperation of powers would do wonders there, although the elites would argue it suppresses the rights of the people or whatever jargon they have left.
On i'll fait comme le français!!!
LOL
Kill the king, feed the people. Death to the American monarchy.
Actually good that Trump put that in the world. It might be the last facet of reality that people can share. Red Caps would not believe anybody else characterizing the US as a monarchy but maybe this enables a debate as there is not longer the (or rather as easy of a) possibility to just say "no your initial issue is already not true".
But then Red Caps often don't even believe trump has said the things he said, delusion and projection on another level. So eeeeh... shit is probably fucked either way 🙃🤷♂️
So is it time for 1788 France now?
Yes
Okay... so in less than a day, any plausible deniability that Trump thinks himself the dictator of the USA has completely evaporated.
That’s been every day since well before he was elected.
There was a lot of humming and hawing about what Trump "really meant" about "dictator for a day".
He already said that's what he wanted. He said it before voting even happened. There was no reason to doubt that's what he wanted.
And the people voted for him (or didn't bother to vote) anyway. America as a whole deserves the shit that we've brought down on ourselves, which is really too bad considering how the people that are most actively anti-fascist are going to bear the brunt of the consequences.
You would think so, wouldn't you? I have had the distinct displeasure of viewing Reddit's r/conservative subreddit though, and to them this is just Trump "trolling."
What's that narcissist's prayer again? "He didn't say that. And if he did, it wasnt that bad. And if it was, it's not a big deal. And if it is, that isn't his fault. And if it was, he didn't mean it. And if he did, America deserved it."
I legitimately cannot get out of this country fast enough. I already have a plan in motion to escape, as a minority I can't escape the constant anxiety that something terrible is going to happen to me here..
Great, so the Cheeto declared himself King now. I'm trying to remember what people did to resolve the problems with kings in the past...
Something in French.
Fun Fact: The Roman Republic viewed regicide as a virtue. As I understand it, "he was trying to become king" was grounds for a justifiable homicide defense.
Yeah, even when they had Emperors the idea was so ground in that they never claimed the title of Rex.
Partly because Imperator was seen as better anyways but it was absolutely a thing.
Fun East Rome Best and Worst Rome Fact: the ERE Emperor claimed the title Basilieus basically the moment Western Rome fell. Guess what it means?
Basil eater?
Idk how they can do that. It's a state issue
So they move them back 100 feet.
This is the biggest one when a lot of these state issues come up.
How can the federal govt stop X from happening in Y state?
They can't.
But they can threaten to drop and withhold funding for any of the numerous programs the state gets federal money for.
I think you're under the impression that laws apply to him. Don't be silly
In fact NY is suing, as the governor does not believe this to be legal.
Is there a reason conservatives dislike congestion pricing other than spite?
Gods, they're just the worst fucking people.
The stupidest part to me is that toll roads work this way and are wildly popular with conservatives. They're just angry it's a public thing and that it's for public transportation support and not to make some private company money.
This is always the case
Money they dont get? Lol make sure they lick the toes
Thing is…this is just another toll. It bills you the same as all the other tolls in the city. They just gave it a different name. That’s it. In the first days, people were bitching because they took the trains and the busses, but everyone who isn’t an asshole (those of us who don’t drive) didn’t even realize it took effect and everyone was like “woah, what’s going on? Is it a holiday? It was so quiet on my way to work. It was awesome.”
But these motherfuckers
Cars checks all the boxes to them - helps with segregation, creates demand for oil, multiple vectors for environmental destruction, weird nostalgia and culture war fodder, another subsidy for rural/suburban voters, and it's the embodiment of not giving a shit about anyone else's and being a big boy. But yeah each of the individual factors boils down to spite.
They also make people a lot angrier. Angrier people are easier to manipulate
Just to check, because I'm no longer sure:
Is this real?
Yes. Satire sites are obsolete these days.
If I had a time machine, the first thing I would tell our past selves is exactly that.
Click the link. Absurdly, it is real.
Americans bow to no king.
Some Americans bow to the king, actually quite a lot of them.
I love how he's using a fake time magazine cover after being humiliated by the real time magazine
I know that there were a significant amount of people that voted republican because of the lies that were told saying he'd fix the economy. Shit like this is something only the hardcore Republicans wanted. They are always boasting about winning, but if we had an election after all this shit came out I'm almost positive Trump would lose by a landslide. We're already seeing some Republicans getting their faces eaten and are questioning their loyalty.
Basically what I'm saying is that I'm pretty sure the majority of the US does not want this. And I'm sure there are plenty within MAGA that are shitting themselves right now as they sit there afraid for their lives to go against any of this. Especially those that aren't straight white men.
Lol, none of this is a surprise or new. Leopards and face eating was planned and expected. The majority of the US voted or abstained for him. This is the outcome. This is what they implicitly wanted. If what they voted for is different to what they thought, they haven't been duped. The information was available. They have been wantonly ignorant. That's not to say we should blame voters. That's to say, hopefully people become more informed and accept that when Republicans allow the deplorable a to take over, this is what happens. When democrats try to take the high ground but don't prosecute insurrection and treason and fix the supreme court, this is what happens.
History teaches us these patterns. It is why they are trying so hard to erase and rewrite history.
Absolutely. WE ALREADY DID THIS. IT WAS REALLY FUCKING AWFUL
Aaaaaaannnd here we are again.
Bold of you to assume. The ones who voted Trump either wanted all this or are dumb as fuck to not see it coming. Don't put your hopes on them.
Anyone that didn't bury their head in the sand saw this coming, none of it was hidden, who cares what the majority wants it changes nothing
Rise up or shut up
they listened to joe rogan, and twitter and that was thier decision for them, also MSM blasting him 24/7 on air helped oto.
He legally cheated through gerrymandering and voter suppression. I wouldn't be surprised if he illegally cheated as well.
the voting machines, the extremely close call on all blue counties, never ordered a recount.
they were also sold on his mysogyny and sexism too.
Who called 249 years til they get a king again?
posted on that other site that's just in it for stock market manipulation, there's a teeny tiny chance i might have written it off as a very, very bad joke.
but this was from the white house account on the x(sh)itter.
he absolutely believes that he is untouchable. this statement he posted is a challenge, a dare, for anyone and everyone to take a shot (figuratively or not) at challenging his declared ultimate authority.
Is the white house account official?
We need to appropriate this image and post it every time an airplane crashes or eggs go up 0.25.
Every time they fire a critical public safety team then scramble to try to rehire them.
This needs to be our image now.
Like this? Would look better if the crown was replaced with a jester hat
You know the Biden "I did that stickers"? Im so very very tempted to print those but with elon hitting the heil and cover each old one up.
It's way past time for anarchy.
While you're not wrong, I think it's funny to say "How dare they stop us from getting taxed! Anarchy!!"
Cause it is technically a tax, just one with a great purpose lol
“The guillotines are in temporary storage.” - France
Bow to no one.
No gods, no masters!
Dudes about 1 law signing away from a future he doesn't want. He should tread lightly.
Warming up
More reps.
It's the deal he's really working on the return of the guillotine industry and public executions? It sure seems like that's his end goal with posts like this.
He's trying to raise the stock of companies making guillotines
nothing stopping people from buy machetes.
I think I'm gonna do shrooms since I cannot do this bullshit anymore. Where the fuck is the world heading.. :(
If the goal of taking shrooms is to forget about what's happening around the world despite our human potential or the pain of every day life; might I recommend something like meth or heroin instead?
Shrooms at this point will probably just open your mind up to the really dark thoughts you're subconsciously suppressing and make you more depressed. Tripping on shrooms isn't something that heals you, it's the changes you make after the trip that matter.
Also, I'm kidding about doing meth or heroin. Don't.
Yeah, just do pot. It's safe and should get your mind off things pretty effectively.
The words hell in a handbasket come to mind.
Why does he even have a say in whatever congestion pricing is for a specific city?
He's arguing that it's because federally funded highways go into the city.
Wait nitter is back? Hallelujah
Might as well have painted a target on his face.
You can have a democratically elected king. It's only not a democracy when the king decides who takes the throne after them, instead of having an election. We have a Democratic Kingdom, say it with me phonetically -Dema-kratik-king-dumb-. Did we want this? I dont fuckin know... a majority kept voting for it so we the people must have fuckin wanted it. What is dead however, is the republic. Ain't no one representing you, you just vote people into a throne.
Something something taxation without representation something revosuiton something
Just IMAGINE if Obama did this? Isn’t it crazy??
This is a real life Ari Aster movie
Does nitter.net still work? I thought it went down.
Yeah, I though so too, but apparently it's back up again.
I checked, and the dev restarted the project on the 4th of february. Probably seeing what twitter has done.
In any case, it will be nice to have an instance that wont need robot tests, so I can use it on weird browsers.
the TIMES magazine has been fellating the king for a while now.
This is a Photoshop / "artistic rendering" from the Whitehouse. The real Time magazine has never bestowed the honor of a cover to the Cheeto.
Edit: Apparently, I just made shit up. Trump first appeared on Time magazine in 1989.
The Trump presidency never ceases to amaze me with how entirely lacking in class they are.
Yeah, that's the real problem here.
I too have so little going for me that I take comments out of context so I can make useless, vapid criticisms.
Wasn't he on the cover when he was Time Person of the Year twice? In 2016, and again in 2024?
that explains alot why times is obsessed with putin and him.
It's TIME, not times or the times. Just to avoid confusion when people say the times they usually mean the New York Times.
That account isn't official, right?
Sorry, I have some bad news
