Considering how many more people died from COVID than needed to, simply due to Trump's actions (and inaction), he's technically a mass murderer more than a serial killer.

Between 3,000 and 10,000, depending on how you much blame you want to give him for the resulting Afghanistan and Iraq Wars. Reasonably, closer to 7,500, since the Iraq War was a bizarre Bush nonsequitur and probably shouldn't be counted.

... though arguably many of the casualties of the Afghanistan War wouldn't have happened if we hadn't shat on all the post-9/11 international goodwill we had by invading Iraq under false pretenses.

It was never funny with Donny, it was always hateful since he came down his gold plated escalator.

He was a piece of shit from the beginning—well before any presidential aspirations.

Did people always know this? I dont think he was talked about much before his presidential campaign.

At best he was a gameshow host with a failed casino, failed steak venture, shitty boardgame, and was known (at least here in Atlantic City) as completely fucking radioactive. You DO NOT do business with him if you wanna be paid.

That's what I knew of him well before all this shit.

No, my first awareness of him was having Trump Tower pointed out to me in Toronto, and that was it. I have no other memory of him being discussed

He didnt really become a thing in British media as far as Im aware til his first election campaign ...instantly clear he was a loon.

Hysterical laughter is excusable. Something has to give or you'll pop a blood vessel.

It gets crazier by the day.

Link for anyone who wants to experience a little schadenfreude. It audibly happens a bit past thirty seconds in, then he immediately ends the press conference and shoes everyone out.

That disturbingly implies that at some point, this individual did.

I think I stopped being amused at Trump's verbal diarrhea around the time he emerged as the front-runner of the 2016 GOP primary.

I couldn't even bring myself to laugh at him shitting his pants in the oval office. And that's objectively funny. The previous and next thing on the scroll was how ICE is terrorizing Americans and the AI bubble needing to burst. Just not in the mood for a giggle.

The thing is, laughing at them is one of the most powerful non-violent tools we have. I'm not saying everything should make you laugh, but when people laugh at him and mock him it's more damaging than trying to "gotcha" moments him and his followers.

Not just that. There's a real possibility we might be the only intelligent life in the universe, and that arsehole is an existential threat. Think about that.

No one does.

But Donald's golf buddies have bought up all the media outlets, so the only sources reporting on the problems with the Donald admin are alternative media. Therefore, get on Youtube and start searching. I'd recommend starting with Breaking Points or Drop Site Media. Ryan Grim, though not terribly charismatic, does great reporting and for bonus points, he once clocked Jesse Watters in the face.

This is basically my reaction whenever some new dumb thing happens with him that's not actively harmful so everyone just clowns on him for it. Like yeah ha ha he shit himself like every old dude. Does this get us closer to chopping his damn head off?
