It really sucks being a sane American right now. Like yeah you should boycott the US because money is the only language they speak, but it’s people like me who are going to suffer for it. Trump and his buddies are going to be fine. Feel like I’m rooting for my own downfall.
Hey, if they feel like picking up more trash for the county and giving the normal folks doing community service a break, they've got their work cut out for them lol
As for persecution attempts, my family, my neighbors, and my city will be having no tolerance for that shit. Newsom probably isn't going to be embracing that with open arms either, even if he's got shitty sides to his politics.
Illegal is not the word. There is a reason officers swear allegiance to the constitution and not the president or congress, and they usually have to write several hundred papers on why. If trump tries that shit they are pretty much duty bound to eat him.
Please don't take this the wrong way, because I absolutely understand your position and the shitty position your in.
Trump IS your president. Whether you voted for him or not. At the same time, the government, or rather the way you are governed, is also YOUR responsibility. No one can change it but you and your fellow citizens. If you don't like your president, elect someone else. If you don't like the presented options, pressure whatever party you think fits into providing better options. If you fear, you won't be able to ever get a real vote anymore, then fight for your right!
No one from the outside is going to come in and fix this for you. This is THE ONE responsibility that you have as a citizen....
Yes, but, it's a responsibility spread across the entire population. If you've ever been apart of a group project in a school setting you're likely familiar with how people can fuck that up despite your best efforts. Yes you're also responsible, but you (imo) also get to bitch about how they fucked up your project.
Absolutely. But you can't do more than kick the ass of everyone in your group that isn't doing their part. You can't stop and give up as well. You have to motivate all other group members and - if necessary - kick out the one dude that does nothing.
So...you can complain and moan, but in the end it does not change what you have to do.
From the other siexe of the pond, I really wish you all the strength and wish you all the best. I'm serious, I'm really worried about everyone in the US.
Brilliant, unheard of, stunning, truly enlightened. If only there was a way for some major city to act on this sage advice along with every other election that occured three days ago.
You give us too much credit. It took us over a hundred years just to finish terrorizing our own country. Then maybe Americans were okay with Spanish war up to the Korean War. But I’ll tell you a majority pf American have been against all war since Vietnam in 1964 we just have no power. And Vietnam I would argue is where our reign of terror began. So you really mean 61 years of begging to stop going to war.
Trump when someone tripped and fell in front of him at Mar a lago
So, you have all these really rich people, and a man, about 80 years old – very wealthy man, a lot of people didn’t like him – he fell off the stage. So what happens is, this guy falls off right on his face, hits his head, and I thought he died.
And you know what I did? I said, “Oh my God, that’s disgusting,” and I turned away.
I couldn’t, you know, he was right in front of me and I turned away. I didn’t want to touch him. He’s bleeding all over the place, I felt terrible.
You know, beautiful marble floor, didn’t look like it. It changed colour. Became very red. And you have this poor guy, 80 years old, laying on the floor unconscious, and all the rich people are turning away.
It was a genius move, it was the best move. A lot of people are saying that this was the best move. Also, my son bought me a new plane. Did I tell you that he bought it? It was good plane, it was the best.
I mean years ago when more aware he bragged about how he couldn't deal with the site of blood, so this is in character for him. Probably not great with any crisis, we've seen evidence of that too. Weak. MAGA, this is what you wanted as a role model leader? Y'all are weak too.
On top of that, he constantly whines and cries about being persecuted (largely imagined.) Trump can’t make one single statement without crying about it. Repugs’ idea of a “strong man” leader is really anything but.
Irrelevant but why can’t this man purchase a bespoke suit? Surely our tax money could even provide him with a suit that looks like it actually belongs to him.
Actually listening to him speak for several minutes is horrifying. Reading excepts and watching short clips just doesn't get the level of dementia across. Seen the video where Japan's new prime minister has to lead him around? Trump's walking around, utterly glazed, doing the thorazine shuffle. If a cop saw me walking down the street like that, confronted me and found me in Trump's condition, I'd either be in jail for public intoxication or checked into the ER.
Really hard to watch without screaming, "Why isn't every media outlet on the planet hammering this home! The most powerful man in the world should be in a care home!"
First administration was bad enough, but he's so, so very far worse off now.
I ended up seeing stuff from his first term and before. The content hasn't changed; he's still an old racist bigot. But the way he talks has drastically slowed. He rambles more than he used to. He's not well. Biden was too old for office. This guy is worse.
He had a nice nap in his chair just before this happened, so he's a bit groggy. He doesn't know what's going on.
Even if he understood the situation, he wouldn't have cared.
"One day it's all going to come out. I'll be dead but everyone will know what I did. History will show what I did to all those little kids...mmmmmm, little kids. I wish I could get it up so I could do some more raping.
I just farted.
No, wait, i shit myself.
Where was i? Oh yeah, little kids...wait, did that guy just faint when he smelled my shit? Oh yeah, I do the best shits. Tremendous. Many have said my shits are the best. Big beautiful bum burger.
Doobie doobie doo.
I wonder which other wing I can knock down?
May as well shit myself again..."
Before seeing the thread's text, I looked at the picture and I initially thought those people were kneeing and worshiping some Orange statue by Orange's orders. It's not, but I wouldn't be surprised if it were the thing happening there 😆
It really looks like everyone is ogling a turd the other asshole left behind and getting ready to either praise it, or blame the circumstance on some marginalized group.
Edit: are they looking at the person that had health issues? Sorry, I thought this was just some random pic.
I am this fucking dumb too.
I don't fucking know what to do, especially in such sudden situations, I just freeze. Perhaps call emergency and do what they tell me. But if others already did whatever the proper thing is, then what?
I was in a somewhat similar situation, and I had no idea what to do, if anything. It's weird to just... be there, but otherwise...? I mean, there were nurses as this was in a waiting room/rest area who handled it, but maybe I should have... something?
Not trying to make Trump seem better, I just relate to his lack of thought here.
Biden were a dimwitted demented lunatic/lier also, they all are, and US are doing the exact same things as they did before - just more openly now. The two-party system is merely 'crowd-control', and people are fed entertainment, lies and small emotional issues - just like the Romans did with the coliseum etc. All just crowd-control. Nobody in the top of the US government - both 'parties' - cares about any people other than themselves and their oligarch donors. Presidents don't change anything but a few 'make-up' issues, and US internal/foreign policy have been the exact same for around 70-100 years. That equals to 100% oppression, political colonialism/control - at home and abroad.
At home in the US, there haven't been 'Democracy' ever. It was and always will be a Plutocracy, by the Plutocracy, and for the Plutocracy - like this Trump oligarch they dug up and placed in power. Free markets = 100% corruption on all 'markets', and no oversight allows for rich c*nts to "Manufacture Political Consent" through the media and other channels. The US plutocracy controls the money flow to media, and have hence captured the America/Western people in something called "Colonization of the mind" (type of propaganda control). This are all directly built-in to the US political system through the free markets of politics where peoples interest/well being doesn't matter - money and Oligarchs does.
On a geopolitical scale US manipulates other nations through their nations oligarchs and newly opened markets, and all the US wars against the nay-sayers around the world where they scoop up other nations/peoples resources in a calculated attempt to preserve their post-WW2 hegemony and power structure. Their campaign against Russia (yes, the war were manufactured by US over 30 years!) went really sour compared to expectations, and now the whole Western economy and power base are contracting, and we are moving towards a so called multi-polar world, where US oligarchs can't decide global events anymore.
I love the sub and certainly want to boycott US (have done/tried so for 10+ years), but it seems like most here are only reacting to Trump's open bullying and would stop boycotting US if Trump were removed. I wouldn't.
However in the end, I guess the underlying reason for what we do isn't as important, as long as we agree about the boycott and slamming of Psychos in charge of our lives.
He wasn't the center of attention and didn't know what to do
I am going to faint even harder than the other guy
I'm the best fainter. Everybody says it.
Lots of people are saying I'm the best fainter. Nobody faints better than me...
I am a little bit of loneliness, a little bit of disregard
Handful of complaints, but I can't help the fact that everyone can see these scars
Lol, exactly what I was gonna say. He's so pissed that suddenly no one cares about him, and he's too worthless to be of any actual help
It really sucks being a sane American right now. Like yeah you should boycott the US because money is the only language they speak, but it’s people like me who are going to suffer for it. Trump and his buddies are going to be fine. Feel like I’m rooting for my own downfall.
You and me both bud.
Yesterday showed at least some hope for you guys
At least I was able to vote in Cali for prop 50.
Cheers, my guy 🖇
And Trump will illegally send the Marines to save your "ravaged" cities and fix your "rigged" elections.
Hey, if they feel like picking up more trash for the county and giving the normal folks doing community service a break, they've got their work cut out for them lol

Problem is when you're the one doing the lifting and the others are a bunch of muscley brutes that'll cave your skull in when you try.
Brilliant, unheard of, stunning, truly enlightened. If only there was a way for some major city to act on this sage advice along with every other election that occured three days ago.
Beta version of democracy explains it pretty well
“Don’t mourn, organize!”
Are you so sure?
Historically, protests have many functions as a base tactic in the overall strategy of social change.
Rarely are they the direct cause of regime change, except sometimes on the last day, but they are always necessary and productive.
It won't happen automatically. Somebody has to talk and listen to Trump's voters and convince them to vote for somebody else. That takes time.
That is, people also need to be prepared if there is no election.
You're right! Two wrongs DO make a right!
What country are you from?
Gonna see if you have any self awareness, which I doubt since you’re coldly dismissing the wellbeing of 330 million people.
You give us too much credit. It took us over a hundred years just to finish terrorizing our own country. Then maybe Americans were okay with Spanish war up to the Korean War. But I’ll tell you a majority pf American have been against all war since Vietnam in 1964 we just have no power. And Vietnam I would argue is where our reign of terror began.

Trump just literally doesn't give a shit about a single other human. Not a shred of empathy in him.
Trump when someone tripped and fell in front of him at Mar a lago
Definitely
The highlight of this incident was Doctor Oz actually behaving like a doctor, politics aside.
Trump, meanwhile, showed leadership by... uhm... watching. He literally froze, for the love of god...!
TBF that was probably the least harm he could do.
genius move actually
It was a genius move, it was the best move. A lot of people are saying that this was the best move. Also, my son bought me a new plane. Did I tell you that he bought it? It was good plane, it was the best.
give flowers_galore2 all my upvotes

Accidental Renaissance material.
Thats why the GOP backed him to begin with, he's a useful idiot.
This is def a new meme format
Setting aside the vapid moron on the left, what even happened here? Did somebody accidentally catch a whiff of Trump's fetid adult diaper?
A man named Gordon Findlay got light-headed and collapsed. Whether it was due to Trump's rankness is unknown.
Let’s just say it was! A lot of people are saying it!
The best people, believe me.
Let it go Donny. Walk into the light. Help yourself along the way if you need to.
Irrelevant but why can’t this man purchase a bespoke suit? Surely our tax money could even provide him with a suit that looks like it actually belongs to him.
He trained himself to look a certain way on television that he himself thinks looks good and hides the stuff he is insecure about.
Combined with being surrounded by yes man and being unable to deal with criticism.
Mental illness on so many levels.
His suits cost thousands of dollars apparently, which makes it even more ridiculous.
He doesn't believe in tailors. He thinks buying an expensive suit should come pre-fitted and doesn't think tailors do anything to improve a suit.
Trump looks like he'll follow suit any minute now.
Don't give me hope
I've already got the champagne in the 'fridge.
His puppeteer was on break...
Everyone astonished that someone would just poop there out in the open.
I think we know who did it.

Just saw this video https://youtu.be/9OtO-cypKmY
Trumps brain is cooked
Having seen (recently) a close relative succumb to dementia. All this hits home. Very on the nose.
He had a nice nap in his chair just before this happened, so he's a bit groggy. He doesn't know what's going on. Even if he understood the situation, he wouldn't have cared.
this should be his presidential portrait
"One day it's all going to come out. I'll be dead but everyone will know what I did. History will show what I did to all those little kids...mmmmmm, little kids. I wish I could get it up so I could do some more raping.

They always find a way to not pay attention to ME
“Why I can’t I fall asleep on floor? I’m pursidunt.”
Record scratch: You might be wondering how I got here.

He doesn't really care. Do you?
It really looks like everyone is ogling a turd the other asshole left behind and getting ready to either praise it, or blame the circumstance on some marginalized group.
Edit: are they looking at the person that had health issues? Sorry, I thought this was just some random pic.
Pretty much every person in the oval office at this point in time is also a turd. So no need to apologize
And dead soon, hopefully.
Amazing picture, this will be in the front of Time at some point
I am this fucking dumb too.

The president is supposed to be able to deal with all types of emergencies. Daily.
You, not so much. Take it easy on yourself.
Can't see much difference under the 'crazy hood'.
