Could you imagine the reaction if any other president wrote the words "Praise be to Allah"?
Unforgivable
Unforgivably hot
Seriously, whether or not Obama was our best president is debatable (certainly the best recent president). But he was undoubtedly our sexiest president.
I have an Obama body pillow that I hump and sleep beside every night.
On a scale of "plush" to "potato chip," how crunchy is your Obama?
Depends where on the pillow you touch.
Biden was better. He quietly got a good amount of stuff done.
The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (2021): Enacted a historic $1.2 trillion investment to modernize the nation's roads, bridges, public transit systems, and power grids, while simultaneously expanding high-speed broadband access and clean drinking water infrastructure.
The Inflation Reduction Act (2022): Passed sweeping legislation that represented the largest federal investment in combating climate change in U.S. history, while also lowering prescription drug prices and capping insulin costs at $35 a month for Medicare recipients.
The CHIPS and Science Act (2022): Directed $280 billion to boost domestic research and the manufacturing of semiconductor chips, aiming to strengthen supply chains, enhance national security, and reduce reliance on foreign technology.
The Bipartisan Safer Communities Act (2022): Signed the most significant federal gun safety legislation in nearly three decades, which enhanced background checks for buyers under 21, closed the "boyfriend loophole," and funded state-level red flag laws.
Confirmation of Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson (2022): Successfully nominated and oversaw the confirmation of the first Black woman to serve on the United States Supreme Court.
The PACT Act for Veterans (2022): Expanded access to VA health care and benefits for millions of veterans who were exposed to toxic burn pits, Agent Orange, and other hazardous substances during their military service.
The Respect for Marriage Act (2022): Enshrined federal protections for same-sex and interracial marriages, officially repealing the previously established Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA).
Strengthening NATO and Global Alliances: Reinvigorated frayed international partnerships and unified Western allies to support Ukraine following Russia's invasion, which included the historic expansion of NATO to include Finland and Sweden.
Rejoining the Paris Agreement and WHO: Took executive action on his very first day in office to formally rejoin the international Paris Climate Agreement and halt the United States' withdrawal from the World Health Organization.
Historic Job Growth and Economic Recovery: Presided over a post-pandemic economic rebound that saw the creation of more than 15 million jobs during his term, bringing the national unemployment rate down to near 50-year lows.
Electoral Count Reform Act (2022): Signed bipartisan legislation to overhaul the 1887 Electoral Count Act, clarifying the vice president's strictly ceremonial role in certifying elections to help prevent future attempts at election subversion.
His foreign policies were decent. His domestic policies were incredible, especially in the first half of his term. Especially considering he had COVID and its recession to recover from at the same time. If he had been better at messaging to make sure everybody knew what he was getting done and how good it was for everybody, I'm not sure we'd be in this current series of messes at all right now, or ever again if the hamberders keep flowing.
Unfortunately, failing to appropriately punish Trump for gestures vaguely at everything and then preventing the Democrats from running a primary has easily negated all of the good his policies would have done in the long run.
And that's without mentioning his all-but-literal unquestioning support of Israel
The suit and mustard on his hotdog were his true crimes. /s
Mustard is the designated "normal" condiment for hot dogs, no?????? Mustard+relish, maybe some diced onion. What was he supposed to have used, ketchup??? 🤢
Or did he use some "fancy" stone ground dijon mustard so people were offended it wasn't just yellow mustard?
EDIT: I looked it up and it was spicy Dijon mustard on a hamburger, not a hot dog. That's extra silly because hamburgers go with basically any condiment, from sriracha to aioli.
people were offended because they thought it's elitist to eat dijon
I'm poor and stupid but I eat dijon and I love it
the same people went on to vote for the most elitist president I've known by far
they simply wanted to hate the black man
if the only reason to hate him republicans could think of is that he ate mustard, that man is irreproachable
Dijon isn't even much more expensive than other mustards lol
Ketchup is typically on hotdogs.
The wikipedia image for hot dog has only mustard on it, and the vast majority of images when searching for "hot dog" have mustard, or both mustard and ketchup, but I don't see a single example of only ketchup. Only ketchup on a hotdog is usually what would be served to young children.
Gatekeeping condiments on other people’s food isn’t a great look.
Yep, the GOP looked pretty dumb for doing this
Not in Chicago.
We don't like ketchup on hot dogs.
Mustard, relish, onion, tomato, pickle, sport peppers, and celery salt are what we like.
...what sport do the peppers play?
Damn he looks good
It's the secret code that tells the other billionaires to hurry into their bunkers.
Inb4 he kicked the bucket earlier this weekend and shits fucked
failed insult comic & convicted felon Don (The John) Trump celebrates the high holy day of Easter with his fellow American followers of the Prince of Peace with a calming prayer for international understanding which included a subtly expressed proposal to commit further war crimes overseas
Agent of chaos.
The Deep Logic of Solar-Capitlism vis-à-vis the Tellurian Lubricant is on full display.
Mashallah, does Trump not know that Islam abhors idols? What does he hope to accomplish by leveling cities but the inbringing of Allah's endtimes? To build is to be Christian, but desertifying is to be Muslim; this is why the deeper the West goes into the M.E., the further Islam spreads.
Sounds like a drunken hegseth post. Pretty sure Trump is dead and we're getting AI trump for Easter announcements lol
Don't make me hopeful.
It’s weird how it seems like something he would totally write, but at the same time doesn’t? Sure, there’s the shitty lack of grammar and randomly capitalized words…yet it just doesn’t seem completely him. “Open the fuckin’ straits,” just doesn’t read at all like something he would write. I don’t know, I think I really just want and need to see THAT headline pop up on my phone - so I’m definitely just grasping at whatever glimmer of hope I can find.
Its the "praise be to Allah" part that gets me, I can't see him saying that even being sarcastic
I can see him writing that for a million dollars.
I dunno... after the "🖕 Fuck you, buddy" thing, I wouldn't put it past him
I thought the same thing, but went back and searched "fuckin" among his "Truths" and found quite a few dating back years. This one is uniquely unhinged though, given the civilian catastrophe it would cause, as well as further exacerbating global commodity shortages, which are already going to get really bad without any further action
It’s not so much the use of the word, but more to do with the general flow of what was written. It just doesn’t “feel” like something that dipshit would write. It feels more like someone doing a poor impersonation of him.
It felt off to me too and I think I've finally pinned it down. It's not rambling enough. It's unhinged, sure, but fairly concise and stays on topic. This would usually be a full paragraph that wanders off into the weeds to yell about how much better than Biden he is for a line or two.
Also I agree with you, I don't think he would correctly use an apostrophe in the word " fuckin' " like that.
It was Hegseth's turn to shove his arm up Trump's shitty asshole and make him dance.
It’s a Bible verse.
John 20: 14-16
At this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not realize that it was Jesus.
He asked her, “Woman, why are you crying?Who is it you are looking for?”
Thinking he was the gardener, she said, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will get him.”
Jesus said to her, “Open the fuckin' Strait, you crazy bastards, or you'll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah.”
She turned toward him and cried out in Aramaic, “WTF!” (which means “what the fuck”).
Except the fully alcohol infused US Secretary of War, Death & Blasphemy would have concluded his Christ-like Easter invocation with a rousing, most masculine “in the name of Jesus, amen!”
He really somehow manages to keep out-doing himself…it’s staggering.
That doesn't sound like his typical cadence. I don't think Trump wrote that.
This seems more like the Secretary of War Crimes, Pete Hegseth.
Especially the "fuckin'" part. Would he actually write it like that, instead of "fuckin" or just "fucking"? It seems wrong for him.
Yeah ive never seen a single tweet that uses punctuation correctly.
It does seem crazy in a way that isn't his normal crazy
Yeah, have we seen him out of the hospital live? Cause videos could be ore recorded.
The part I take issue with is the "There will be nothing like it!!!".
"IT WILL BE NOTHING THE WORLD HAS SEEN BEFORE" is something I would expect from Trump.
Trump did not write this. Either he's dead and someone else (probably Miller) wrote this or he completely lost his mind.
Think you’re right. As stupid as this is it’s far too coherent to be a trump rant. This has angry middle class big truck small dick energy.
Yeah no way this is actually Trump. It feels very different from his normal vernacular and cadence.
It wasn’t written with caps lock, that’s a give away at this point.
That’s an N dash. They are named that way because of how wide they are.
So your assessment is wrong. Since everyone knows M dash is the one only AI uses, and AI didn’t learn to do that from humans who do. Nope.
Not even at Easter do MAGA abstain from the White House special flour.
Wasn't there a rumor that Bibi got replaced with AI for a while because nobody could believe the uncanny appearance he had on TV?
It's worse that Miller, it's worse than Vance.
Its AI slop.
It’s from an AI, comprised on a model based on trumps prolific posting past. trumpAI.
praise be to Allah... we know who's bribing him this week
To be clear, the straight was open. Why was it that they closed it down?
because drawing on an inside strait is poor poker strategy???
Yeah. It's the "f-bomb" in the message that's disturbing.
Not the frustrated tantrum anger from a US president. Not the threatened war crimes. Not the framing of the actions to be god's will.
It's "Oh my,! What a potty mouth!".
Peak America.
In a sane world, everybody who wrote or approved that title should never be allowed to work in news media again. It is a fucking disgrace.
I would definitely trust this person with the nuclear launch codes.
The football was hidden from Trump in his first term, IIRC.
Regardless of partisan views it is well past time for Congress to do their fucking jobs and impeach this maniac.
The vast majority of Congress either agree with his actions wholeheartedly or agree in principle and are only opposed to the incompetent execution. Imperialism is bipartisan.
And if a few on his side hesitate, he'll just let them in on the next insider's move and they'll fall back in line.
What good does impeachment do? They stay in office after they're impeached, nothing changes. It's just Congress throwing a fit. It gives them a chance to go on record for or against Trump, but we all know the score there, so that's pointless, too.
Impeachment is the first step in bringing formal charges against the president. Assuming they have the will to convict (still a massive assumption at this point), it would represent a decisive move toward ending Trump's presidency.
Fine, he's convicted of something. Who will show up and physically throw them out on their ass? It would take military action, "boots on the ground", to do that. I don't expect that will happen. So, it's all for show, no matter how much paper gets shuffled.
The way I see it, the only hope we have is if many of the top brass in our military are quietly plotting against them, holding on to their office, and biding their time, waiting for them to defy the election in 2028.
Don't people ever wonder like me how people would react if Obama would post something like this in his term? I mean, talk about unhinged. Other world leaders look at this shit and be even more resolved to move on without the US. There will be a long, long time to even rebuild 20% of the trust.
How can MAGA look at this and think 'this is fine'?
The core will praise him for being tough and say it like what it is!
"He can talks like me! I cud understood his words!"
Correct use of an apostrophe at the end of fuckin'? Correct spelling of 'strait' ? Use of both upper and lower case letters. No way MAGA (or trump) would write like that
“Our kinda Christian!!!”
It’s all pretty easy to wrap your head around once you accept that they didn’t give a shit about Obama’s suits or condiments or even his words. He was black. Period. Everything else was manufactured outrage to try to get him out.
Trump is objectively a worse person in every way. Except his skin colour. What would have happened if Obama said or did any of the shit Trump gets praised for (let alone gets away with…)? He’d have been lynched.
America’s the shithole they project onto every other country.
But that's just the thing, this is the gutteral reaction to a well run presidency by a black man. Add to it the left swallowing the bait, hook, line, and sinker on the culture war (sorry folks, trans rights, while needed, do not make a platform) and corporate Democrats rolling over for money harder than Evel Knievel at Cedars Palace, and you have our present situation.
It would be fun to link some articles from Jan 2017 where the entire news media was like "oh he's going to change everything about himself and become much more presidential now"
He is such an embarrassment…
I saw the screenshot and it was so unhinged, so absolutely batshit crazy, that I just naturally assumed it was a meme someone generated.
25th Amendment NOW.
Donald Trump raped and murdered children.
He’s now going to cause world war 3 because a deranged Jew and Russians own and control him.
America: murder your fucking leader. No body wants this except for Trump, hehseth and his puppets that control him.
Fuck America, you are all weak and pathetic. Second amendment am I right? Cowards. All of you.
Good thing you didn't generalize an entire population or anything and show your lack of understanding at how easy it is to just assassinate the POTUS. That would look like quite dumb, hateful, and short slighted opinion had you done so.
Hey you know how the saying goes, right?
If you want something done, do it yourself.
What's wonderfully ironic about this kind of post is that it sounds exactly like the maniac it's supposedly condemning. The guy who told Iranians to just go ahead and rise up and take their country back. And then told the EU to take back the Strait.
Things are bad enough without having to exaggerate.
No U
one assumes you reference Putin & Netanyahu, & have no intention of implicating millions of individuals who quite possibly oppose the inhumane acts & intentions of their derelict national leaders
I understand an apostrophe is used to replace the terminating letter 'g' in a verb ending in "-ing" to indicate informal, colloquial speech or dialect - and that its use represents the omission of the "g" sound.
Nice.
I just didn't think Pedophile Felon Drink Bleach Trump made much use of the apostrophe in general, but perhaps I'm mistaken.
The irony was when reading the post, the apostrophe was what made me question if he wrote it. I was surprised he knew how to use an apostrophe or where to find it on his phones keyboard. That was my first thought about the person Americans elected to lead their country. Says a lot and I am American.
Tuesday is war crimes day
It's also TACO day
This is so stupid that i'm lead to believe they are doing it on purpose to put all the blame of the iran war on trump so that the rest of the government can save his face.
GOP hopiing to wash off the stain. Not gonna work.
What a demented piece of shit
The bar is already much lower. "Cursing on a Sunday" wouldn't hit my radar with a normal president either, tbh.
Imagine that's what does it tho lmao. Like they just have him actually retire due to that.
I hate every single person that allowed this to happen. If you voted for Trump or didn't vote against him I hope you get a very painful cancer.
Constantine converting on his deathbed moment.
What do Trump and a limbo stick have in common?
"How low can you go!"
Like he has had to have stepped over a religious line right? Can we finally get some religious zealots to end this guy's entire bloodline?
The only F-word I need from Trump "Files", as in "Epstein Files".
Are we even sure he’s still alive?
Infrastructure week has finally arrived!
He has clearly received the light of Islam in Walter Reed and unhesitatingly recited the Shahada.
DIE!
First he was cumming in children. Now he's the second coming. When is he going?
And people are saying he’s trolling.
Even if he was I love how these “Christian’s” are like he didnt mean it.
I was so hoping to never hear from him again
I know, I had hoped too. Many of us did.
Is this, infrastructure week...?
He ded
Why. Whyyy. Why is this man at the wheel??
I mean I know why, it’s because no one told gramps he’s too senile to drive, but why are we sitting in the back seat??
In one word: neoliberalism. It inevitably and inexorably leads to this.
Decades of defunding education, maximizing corporate profit at the expense of the workers at the bottom, making life worse and worse for commoners.
You end up with a large group of poorly educated, humiliated angry voters. And they'll get fooled easy by the most populist guy who "say it like it is" and offe simplistic solutions and scapegoats.
That's why it's happening. And US is not a single case. They just have a much higher power of nuisance.
Thanks Obama
Ok, so its a post on the artist formerly known as twitter. He has people who can post that for him, thats not a confirmation he isnt at the hospital.
