He's now claiming he didn't mean war, just cleaning up crime. The regime keeps gaslighting us by going two steps forward and one step back so it looks like we overreacted.
But even if I did believe he wasn't serious (he was), some jokes aren't appropriate for a president to make. If a teenager made a post threatening to shoot up a school, he'd still be in some trouble even if he said he didn't mean it
As if there were any doubt. He can't afford to go back to civil life. It's too risky. Like Caesar in his time, he will do anything to avoid the consequences of his actions. Edit: typo
Of course he can afford to go back to civil life. We had 4 years to give him consequences for his actions and fuck all happened. Add in the fact that he's already made himself rich through his crypto scam and other shit that he wouldn't see a day behind bars.
Fuckface bankrupted multiple casinos. Casinos.
He is likely not rich and has already blown through most of his bribes and scams.
He wasn’t rich before he became president. He’s now very rich, but can never enjoy it.
He's been making literally a billion dollars a month with his crypto bribe scam.
Bankrupting casinos is a great way to launder money
Merrick Garland proving he wasn't worthy after all. No wonder the establishment liked him for SCOTUS
He renamed the department that he's deploying to the Department of War, because he's incapable of being subtle.
The goal has always been to maintain a culture war and prevent a class war from happening. Keep the commons fighting amongst themselves for whatever works so they don't notice what the elite are doing. An actual civil war won't happen because of the country's size - we can't agree in peaceful times on many things due to regional differences. But outbreaks in various areas fueled by misdirection is probable, and useful for the before mentioned reason. Might as well be a civil war if it happens in enough places, and yet no one will be fighting the real "bad guys".
It may not be a civil war like blue state govs vs federal or red state govs, but I could definitely see fascists (gov or militias) terrorizing and murdering "liberals" and immigrants, followed by a counter-insurgency targeting fascist institutions and politicians... which I would still classify as a civil war.
Civil War II
Stop with the tech bro shit. We are not updating the last war.
This one comes with a subscription.
No. He is inciting a civil war because he wants to hide and deny the fact that he is a pedophile.
Winning the war on poverty.
The war on melanin is next.
I mean your already in a war. They have said it well be bloodless if the left allows it and it seems the left is fine with that.
Imagine the piss pant stains if Trump supporters were forced to take the Metro or a street car to occupy a major city. Any civil war would have to have a regional hub with microwave pancakes and ionized water at their neighborhood (now closed) Bed Bath and Beyond for whatever moron troop movements anyone planned.
To be clear, I hope people who think little kids should be exposed to diphtheria to find out who is trans don’t rise up. But they won’t win a whole war even if they cause more human suffering than every “East India” company combined.
Do you know what midterms are?
US education system
If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck...
Does the sun rise in the east?
You mean 3.0? Don't forget about the second civil war, fought against the unions
A union hat is a participation trophy WHEN you have a Vietnam context.
Why? He already owns the country lol
Civil War 2 electric Boogaloo! 🫲🍊🫱
