The america this pedophile putin lover wants should be burned to the ground.
Last election he said if he wasn't elected then we would be at war with Iran, gas prices would skyrocket, groceries would be unaffordable, and masked police would be patrolling the streets.
He literally projected exactly what he ended up doing, as is tradition.
Two political parties are supposed to work together for the benefit of everyone, the second a politician tries to divide the country they need to be jailed, or at the very least removed from politics. There is no place for this toxicity in a prosperous country.
Every accusation a confession. No exceptions.
This is fucking insane. I don't think the POTUS should be threatening every single citizen of the country like that.
I also don't think a rapist, pedophile, conman, felon, grifter, old ass pudding brain should be POTUS.
Well your country voted for him, TWICE!
Oh sure.
He won fair and square in 2024, right between trying to falsify the election in 2020, attempting to overthrow the government in 2021, and trying to falsify the election in 2026.

He only won the popular vote once. Our election system is fucking stupid.
It's more like a handful of decisive districts voted for him. Half consistently voted against him.
Yeah well half consistently voted for him, our country has a serious fucking problem and it starts with the people who live in it.
certified braindead comment.
The higher prices are directly from his tariffs and war and people should know that. Last time, however, prices were not Biden's fault and economy had recovered better than most places, but the people wrongly blamed Dems as they were instructed to and ignored all the warnings. One relief check went out during his time and two from orange, if you want to try that nonsense. They won't really care though or understand this, and mindlessly swing back and forth, other than the tribal ones that stick with maga regardless of the damage, and they're proud to pay more and all the suffering too!
Every day that he lives is a tragedy
One of my teachers in a humanities related field said she had a dream where people were running through the street and making tons of noise at like 2 am that woke her up, and they were just screaming “HE’S DEAD! HE’S DEAD!!”
So that’s how people in the humanities are doing, if anyone was curious.
I excitedly launch my news app every time I hear anything that might be gunshots or fireworks. I have an $80 bottle of bourbon on deck.
I might actually relapse that day- not fully, just with a glass or two of champagne. I think that's a celebration worthy of a drink despite the eight years of sobriety.
There are good sparkling NA options so you can have a special, celebratory drink without breaking the streak. Also, congrats on 8 years!
Cheers mate, thank you. I definitely enjoy those options from time to time and will likely stick with them. I don't think I could sacrifice the best thing I've ever done for myself, even in celebration of the planet being a bit lighter.
Nah, man, ain't nothing worth relapsing. My brother is a drunk, and has never tried to seriously get sober to my knowledge. If he ever did, I wouldn't encourage him to drink under any circumstances. It's a slippery slope for people who have a problem with alcohol.
Ha! Was gonna post the same, 7 yrs now, but dang, might need to hoist a glass on that merry day!
He's really not worth it... and that's coming from another who understands the good fight.
Maybe another cheap(ish) thrill of a lottery ticket? Or get your adrenalin going another way, such as with a bike ride, or a bush walk 🤷♂️ just thinking out loud, hopefully that's okay.
I think thats pretty much everyone in every discipline, not just the humanities folks.
We all deal with trauma differently
Trump being dead wouldn't solve anything. He's demented puppet of a rotten system which won't change just because a the puppet breaks.
It would solve one thing at the very least.
Brands need their mascots.
I think every option other than Trump is better than him simply because the popular mandate can't be had by a freak like Miller, it can't be had by a rizzless baffoon like Vance, a stuffy devil in a suit like Vought, a sniveling gremlin pedophile like Lutnick, or a out and about Jewish Supremacist like Kushner. The only person I worry about being in charge is Tucker Carlson. Given how the world only ever seems to get worse, I think this would be the end result. Most of my predictions are true by imaging the worst possible scenario. The only upsides to him is that he's made a lot of enemies, but I think he's demonstrated his ability to lie his way into power and I don't think that would be a saving grace for us at all, we'd probably be fucked, and he's definitely smart enough and charismatic enough to achieve most of his white supremacist goals. The best case scenario is Trump having a stroke while complaining about Tucker being a traitor.
I understand the argument, but I'm not sure if this circus of wacky sock puppets isn't primarily meant to distract us from the things that really matter right now, because we get so worked up every day over the nonsense coming out of the current administration.
I dunno, GoP all feel like they want to kill him but have no better alternative so keep him around
They might implode into infighting if he dies
I agree
He's a symptom of how fucked 'Murica is
But, I'll still celebrate it
Every day I wake up disappointed that him and Miller still live
Miller made a deal with the devil, he's never going to die.
It would've been better if it was the other Mac still living; Mac Miller
Don't forget to save some contempt for Russ Vought!
The shame of a nation continues.
The majority are too ignorant to even know how to be ashamed.
'Muricans celebrate the best things that they should be ashamed of
I suggest a horrible debilitating stroke that makes it impossible for him to move or talk while in unbelievable pain for every moment. He gets every treatment recommended by RFK which hopefully includes bleach. Ideally it will be nearly impossible to sleep, but enough so he is able to fully experience it. Hopefully the medical professionals will be able to keep him alive like this for years, ideally a decade and then finally someone will have the compassion to pull the plug so he finally starves to death.
McConnell is living that, it'll just turn him into an even easier to manipulate tool
As amusing as that sounds, I prefer that he explode. Immediately.
Preferred if captured on video.
I actually want him to stay alive until all the ballots are in. Better to have him dragging the GOP down.
Trump warns....
"If Obama wins, the country will burn and be lost to communism" Obama serves two terms in a row, no burning and still waiting for "communism"
"If Biden wins, the country will burn and be lost to communism" Biden wins, still no burning (except Jan.6) or "communism"
"If Kamala wins the country will burn and be lost to communism" Trump wins and we watch him burn and loot the country in 4K HDR 360fps as fascism rolls in
Do republicuck magatards ever learn?
they're excuses, not justifications. if a phrase lets them pretend a fig leaf of sense they'll beat that dead horse worse than SNL
These morons are still stuck on its Adam and Eve not Adam and Steeve!
Honesty I used to think Republicans just have different priorities, but ever since W I've come to understand they aren't noble savages... They are just extremely stupid and hateful people.
Id say greedy and hateful.
They arent so stupid as to not have created this quagmire.
The message appeals to those who are NOT going to learn and are like puppets who simply react to their carefully curated x, Facebook, ticktoc, Instagram, and, of course, truth social feeds.
No, in fact, they actively hate education, science, reading, and medicine. So I don't think that they even CAN learn beyond simple cause/effect relationships like a pigeon
Well no. Learning is anathema to them.
Why do you think the Democrats are any different?
"If Biden wins, we'll get higher minimum wage"
"If Obama wins, we'll get universal healthcare!"
"If Clinton wins, we'll get universal healthcare!"
Suckers gonna suck
If you can't tell the difference between the Obama/Biden admin and Trump then please tell us what's your favourite colour of crayon to eat
"Trump promise to burn America if he doesn't win"
Fixed it.
Trump is the "Look what you made me do"-est of Presidents.
He also rapes children, is a murder, shits his pants, has small hands that smell like cabbage, is a Nazi sympathizer.
Don't forget the casino(s) he was able to bankrupt
Pretty sure you could drop the "if he doesn't win" bit there and it would be just as accurate...
Like supposed end to Iran war after mid terms... why doesn't he just start burning America now?
"Trump also promises to burn America if he does win."
So what he’s saying is that he will burn down the US if he loses..
Exactly right.
Warns or threatens?
That's not a warning, it's a threat.
Someone asked, “Why do some British people not like Trump?” An articulate and witty writer wrote the following response: “A few things spring to mind. Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem. For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace. So, the stark contrast does throw Trump’s limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief. Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty, or even faintly amusing – not once, ever. I do not say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility – for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman. But with Trump, it is a fact. He does not even seem to understand what a joke is – his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty. Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers. And scarily, he does not just talk in crude, witless insults – he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and automatic nastiness. There is never any under-layer of irony, complexity, nuance, or depth. It is all surface. Some might see this as refreshingly upfront. Well, we do not. We see it as having no inner world, no soul. And in Britain we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our heroes are plucky underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist. Trump is neither plucky, nor an underdog. He is the exact opposite of that. He is not even a spoiled rich-boy, or a greedy fat-cat. He is more a fat white slug. A Jabba the Hutt of privilege. And worse, he is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully and racist. That is, except when he is among bullies; then he suddenly transforms into a snivelling sidekick instead. There are unspoken rules to this stuff – the Queensberry rules of basic decency – and he breaks them all. He punches downwards – which a gentleman should, would, could never do – and every blow he aims is below the belt. He particularly likes to kick the vulnerable or voiceless – and he kicks them when they are down. So, the fact that a significant minority – perhaps a few of us– of look at what he does, listen to what he says, and then think ‘Yeah, he seems like my kind of guy’ is a matter of some confusion and no little distress to British people, given that: You do not need a particularly keen eye for detail to spot a few flaws in the man. This last point is what especially confuses and dismays British people, and many other people too; his faults seem pretty hard to miss. After all, it is impossible to read a single tweet, or hear him speak a sentence or two, without staring deep into the abyss. He turns being artless into an art form; he is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of shit. His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum. God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid. In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws – he would make a Trump. And a remorseful Doctor Frankenstein would clutch out big clumps of hair and scream in anguish: ‘My God… what… have… I… created? If being a twat was a TV show, Trump would be the boxed set.
Nate Whight
Why is the part about Obama cut out?
And this sentence you use:
Why did you add "and racist" to that? He never said that.
And this:
should be "perhaps a third"
Then, after "given that" there should be two points, the first of which your completely left out. Plus, you also left this entire sentence out: "He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George W look smart."
The piece was good enough without being altered, especially if you don't tell people you're editing it. Explain why you did this, please.
Also, please add paragraphs. ;)
Source or if you want the -real- source, I think it's somewhere on facebook or twitter, but I prefer not looking for those and I don't have accounts for either of those anyway.
Edit, found the article that links to the twitter posts, if anyone wants to give them clicks.
Sorry. A sloppy posting. I had used the excellent comment as a framework for a scathing critique of our own British neoliberal Trump fan and notorious racist Nigel Farage. Yes, an act of plagiarism but the parallels where hard to resist! “Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?” Nate White, an articulate and witty writer from England wrote the following response: A few things spring to mind. Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem. For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace – all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed. So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump’s limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief. Plus, we like a laugh.

Chefs kiss
This America isn't worth preserving, if it is a reflection of Trump and his kindred. I do not wish to live the rest of my life in a nation that has been consumed by evil.
I like to imagine Trump's behavior has opened the door to sweeping changes across the board. I feel like administrations opted for smaller, less impactful in the near term changes, and Trump, to his very limited credit, made sweeping changes rapidly. So let's see that in the other direction. He's had SCOTUS support some of his orders, so let's use them as examples for changes in the opposite direction.
Then let's close all the loopholes.
Even in the ideal liberal world where Republicans show up and take advantage of loopholes, and then Democrats take power and patch them all, fundamentally this allows a ratcheting effect if Democrats only ever fix and never utilize the power themselves. I'd like to see a truth and reconciliation period similar to South Africa where we take a hard look at ourselves as a nation and address the bigotry that leads us to become such a pariah, both to each other and globally. We can then address the shared goals of bringing back American jobs from a standpoint of honesty at what took them in the first place, and many of the other things that supposedly fueled the collapse of our moral framework. Unfortunately I don't see a world where any party leaders would engage in this behavior, because moving on is all their donors ever want to do. You don't need to dig for long to find billionaires meddling, and their favorite time to meddle is in democratic primaries, something the leadership very much wants them to keep doing.
It either changes or we will abandon this sinking ship, one way or another.
He does realize he is still president after this election does he not?
If enough Democrats win, they can push legislation through without him being able to block it.
Ohh for sure, maybe even impeach, but the headline implies something else entirely though…wonder if he would flee to russia lol
He's fear mongering his moronic racist pedophile base
Yah 10-4, sometimes the simplest explanation is correct.
It's entirely possible he could flee given the investigations he's about to face. He knows what happens to pedophile in prison. And while his legal team, even though inept, will keep him from ever seeing the inside of a prison. That fear would be enough to make him flee.
Yah he certainly has amassed enough money…it would likely be argentina or some other warmer country…but who knows what will happen. Ive already voted but I bet something happens and the whole thing gets rigged
Well, Qatar gave him a plane, and word was a few months ago that Qatar is where the Venezuelan oil money is, in an account that only he controls. That's just one link but there are dozens, including an inquiry from the House Foreign Affairs Committee about the matter.
One might almost conclude he doesn't intend to stay in the US post-presidency.
Waiting for the dems to save us is going to be a long wait.
the odds of democrats sweeping the upcoming senate elections, including every single one of the twenty-two republican-held seats, is as close to zero as you can get without actually being zero.
then on top of that, you have 'unreliable' ""democrats"" holding office which you can't count on to vote with their party of record.
so the net chance of the upcoming senate session being able to override a veto is zero. not gonna happen. hell, the democrats would be extremely lucky to hit 60 seats.
over on the house side, democrats might get a 5-10 seat advantage, they'll never get the veto-proof majority there either. way too much rigging of the vote and maps by republicants for that.
Nope, not this cycle. They’d have to win every single Senate race, which would put them at 67. Or as my math works, 66 + Fetterman.
Are enough Republican seats (that are likely to flip) even up for election to do that this midterm? I seem to remember that being a problem in 2018, that there was backlash but not enough Republicans up for election to make much headway.
Technically yes, but highly unlikely. Every single seat has to go D, no exceptions, and the resulting 67 seats would still include the bald imbecile from Pennsylvania.
LMAO… no they won’t.
who do you think is gonna order the burning?
Stephen Miller?
I think it's because he's going to try and burn everything down then he and his "donors" will buy everything up. Then Democrats will be blamed and 2028 comes around and the GOP gains power again. Rinse repeat.
Yah but I thought that was a four year cycle, are we accelerating to the two year cycle now lol. Damn republicans are dumb.
Musk is ready to burn $200+ million every two years to make sure he stays the wealthiest person in the world. I can picture the headlines now.. " Republicans promised you $5000 checks, once the dumocrates took over they took it away. If we had a Republican Congress, everything would have been different, pinky promise. This 2028 election year correct the midterm mistake and elect true Republicans." This ad was brought to you by spacexai ad agency.
Oh yah for sure and trump just boasted hes already spent $400m to prop up other republicans. They are very nervous or perhaps this has always been the republican spending norm and we are just hearing about it more because we have a bunch of megalomaniacs with megaphones
That senile cunt doesn't know what decade it is, or who shit in his pants
He'll be the lamest of lame ducks and he knows it.
Honestly best case scenario considering some of the other alternatives
Idk, with nothing to lose and a deranged obsession with getting as much attention as possible, there's a lot more damage that he can do.
someone should tell him that if he blew his brains out on live TV it would get the highest ratings ever
I'd watch. Hell, I'd pay. Is PPV still a thing?
Yah a whole lot of possibilities, some of them probably pretty dark considering the people in his administration, like miller.
Maybe? I mean for one he won't enjoy the level of "do-whatever-the-fuck-I-want" he has thus far. For another (less likely), he could be impeached and not be President anymore.
Yah a congress that represents the people actually representing the people would be a great first step to restoring order.
If America burns, it's because he lit the match.
Is this a warning or a threat?
"Warns" says the headline, but I think he means "Threatens."
That dumbfuck is already burning everything down.
And in a bit of Orwellian doublespeak, calls it Make America Great Again.
Exactly. Oh no he'll continue burning everything im so scared!
Voting in democrats cant possibly make it worse. Don't give the fascists an inch.
Go vote. You can do other things too, but make sure you dont skip voting. Not now not ever.
That's a threat.
He said, "I could destroy the world if I want to," in a tweet, and then destroyed the world gas supply by attacking Iran like that week.
So yeah, agreed.
I believe we've been on fire for a while now.
If it must burn to be renewed then it must burn. No different than a sick redwood. I don't think it'll burn or it quite needs to, but it needs to be renewed even if it takes burning to do it
Agreed. People need to accept that the nation must fall before we, as people, can rise again. I do not know what the big deal is with moving on from something that isn't working for anyone. It isn't working for anyone except a handful of people and the entire world is so exhausted of the US.
What's even more shocking to me is that we have not yet even come to terms with the reality that we are four distinct regions and each region is preventing the other from succeeding in their own way. Northeast, Texas through Florida, the west and the mid-west. It's beyond obvious we are four different countries. Most land masses this size have much smaller countries and ours is simply unmanageable.
It will never recover. It can only become something else.
I don't think burning is inherently necessary, that it means the complete destruction of the country, or that splitting is wise. I'm in the camp of we need to prosecute and repair what's broken.
The nation doesn't have to fall. The Empire does. The American Empire needs to realize its over, and pull back. Its current process of trying to exert its will by controlling the fossil fuels needs to cease. The Russian embargo, Venezuela, The Straight of Hormuz are all plays at controlling the oil market. Its the last attempt at keeping power, and it will fail.
Trump thinks he is America.
Given this, yes, he should expect America to burn.
Then maybe we can get back the America that’s comprised of the people.
Trump is the epitome of the US - capitalist, sociopath, selfish, superiority complex, immigrant, mentally and physically sick, corrupt, obsession with fame and being talked about.
This is why the rest of the world hates the US. Trump is a symptom of all your systems. As far as the presidency, it's been a downward slope since Ford pardoned Nixon.
Yep. Trump is America. He's the president this country deserves, and that is apparent from his ability to win twice.
Anyone who thinks he could only win through some type of cheating we haven't caught is clearly not hanging out in the living rooms in red states and counties
i'm like, none of those things; although i might not be in the best physical shape and could use some health care.. i could still whoop little miss tiny hands in any athletic feat.
Trump is an immigrant?
He certainly isn't Native American - they got genocided and ethnically cleansed (let's add those to the previous list too).
The majority of USians aren't Native American but USians they'll bitch about immigration when they're primarily a country of immigrants. The hypocrisy and cognitive dissonance is astonishing. It might be a symptomatic of the poor historical accuracy and relevancy taught in schools - they don't even realise who they are or where they come from.
I bet half of them will claim they're Irish too.
That's not what an immigrant is...
Someone who can trace their history back to another country can be classed as a product of immigration. That is what immigrants are.
You can say "but he was born here" but that means nothing if you're rascist like the GOP and hasn't stopped ICE deporting people who were born in the US and are citizens - they just happened to be non-white. Trump grandfather came over in the 1880s. He is of immigrant stock - he probably has less of a claim to being American than many other people on the continent . You might not want to believe it, or claim 14th amendment (which is fair, from a US legal perspective) but technically, every single white person is a product of immigration. Black, Latino or Asian too - it's not just white folks.
Trump is just closer to being an immigrant than many others - you could call him a 3rd gen immigrant. That is how he would be classed if he wasn't white.
I hope I'm getting across the point that most people in the world are of immigrant stock at some point or another and so it's really a non-argument that has deep-rooted rascist undertones whilst not taking into consideration history.
A "product of immigration?" Sure. An immigrant? No. That's simply incorrect. An immigrant is someone who migrates to another country. Someone who was born and lived in the same country their entire lives is in no way, shape, or form, an immigrant.
Spoken like someone who doesn't experience bigotry on a daily basis. Your lack of understanding shows you're not a target. Doesn't matter what it actually means. The lived experience is different to the lawful one.
Remember the subject of this post - most of the US population is of immigrant stock.
Honestly he's not that inaccurate of a representation.
Yeah America is highly diverse. He represents the worst of us and that was ascendant over the last ten years.
Those of us that aren’t that need to get louder and take power to get this ship back on track.
This bullshit is a result of the 'Murican people
Over generations, the apathy and selfishness meant this cancerous shit grew stronger
' Murica was founded in hate, genocide, stupidity and greed, and not a fucking thing changed in a couple of hundred years except for the efficiency of the machine
Is... is that a threat? ...
Well, I will not be blackmailed by some ineffectual, privileged, effete, soft-penis'd debutante.
You don't even know my real name. I'm the fucking lizard king.
Ve'a nihilists, ve believe in nussing.
Funny thing because its already getting its citizen murdered on the street by the Gestap- I mean ICE
So he's warning the dumpster fire is going to burn if he can't continue the dumpster fire he created? And people still doubt his dementia? What's his next threat, he's going to drown the gulf of Mexico?
Peaceful protest won't stop them from staying in power. We, as a people, have had all the warning for what's coming, and yet I don't know of anyone suggesting a realistic, practical plan to combat the theft of power that's going to take place.
Any Federal politician who actually cares should be giving public statements about what responses will occur if election results are denied at various levels, should be inviting international observation, should be responding to voter expungement, should prepare responses in case of ICE intervention at polling places, etc.
And everyday people... we should be like the French: angry, motivated, and ready to take the kids gloves off. People should be prepared to be arrested, prepared to go on strike, and prepared to be disruptive.
If any offices are stolen, there should be fires and barricades.
Republicans don't need to "seize power", nor do they want to (in my opinion).
Democrats will win, the Republicans count on it. They're a tag team. One is the heel, the other is the face.
Answer me this... if the Democrats are truly "the good guys" why can't they ever roll back Republican changes? Every term, they can't manage to reverse the vast majority of Republican tax cuts (for one example).
Amazon, Tesla, JP Morgan, et al always coincidentally gets what they want.
Our political system is fundamentally deceptive and has been corporate owned for decades.
Re the French, they are in a country that's smaller than one US state with four times the population density. Getting thousands together is much, much more difficult, and it won't happen in most of the country, just key cities (like NYC and LA).
All of this talk of revolution is what the Democrats are for. They're a release valve. The Republicans won't seize power and bite the hand that feeds them, there's enough money for bOtH sIdEs to get rich, win or lose, they both get a billion dollars an election.
They won't get that money so easily if there are no elections. It's a massive money laundering scheme, and they don't even have to hide it.
We'll see in a couple weeks.
There's no need to riot in some rural shithole with 30 people. The big cities are all that matters, that's where the money is, where it hurts. That is not an excuse not to riot.
I get it, it's harder to meet up for a big riot in NYC, when living in bumfuck nowhere, but the people in those dense areas should already be more than enough, if they commit. The ones in the nowheres of the country can show their dissent other ways, still, or find a closer riot nearby.
Dems putting out feelers for mercenaries yet?
Peaceful shutdown, if enough do it in the cities, enough to bring the wheels of production to a halt and sustained for a week or two (which is hardly enough time to starve or be evicted) will have the Houses running for impeachment so fast it might set a new benchmark on what is the highest achievable speed.
And the response from his election opponent from two years ago is, "Harris Warns America Will Burn if Democrats Lost This Election"
At this point a cleansing fire might be beneficial.
Probably because that asshat Vought is laying plans to deny Democrats a win. And like his affiliate said, it will be bloodless if the Democrats allow it.
Voting asshat conservatives out means Vought just says "no" and then stuff may get very spicy.
Vought is the epitome of the hated "deep state". The guy is a lifelong bureaucract pulling the strings from behind the scenes. Most Americans don't even know OMB exists.
Love how he constantly threatens us and the media and everyone else are like "make sure you guys vote MAGA so he doesn't abuse us no more!" So many weak ass bootlickers.
"Yes me lord, you deserve 1/3 of our grain and our women me lord. I only live to serve." These types have been around a long time, at least as long as religion took on the form of demigods' blessings for loyalty, but probably much longer. It's ironic that it's the people who grandstand about their guns being taken away by liberals but do nothing in the face of actual tyranny, but I think deep down we always knew that. They would even give up their guns to the right conman, or really just anyone who promised to also take the guns of those who look different than them (if they thought they had them).
Russian bots working to get Americans fighting before the election to effectively stop it.
Release the files. Pervert freak.
Which is ridiculous mainly because:
Rioting has always been France's national past time, even when they stormed the Bastille last weekend, that's tradition at this point.
Republicans want everyone to forget they've spent the last 25 years shitting on France already. How is it burning down now if it's been burnt down for a generation? No one has talked more shit about France than American conservatives... Now they suddenly love France?
"The browns are coming to rape your women, steal your hard-earned consumer goods, beat you to death, and burn everything down."
That's the message that resonates the most with Republican voters. It's galvanizing and makes them "circle the wagons" emotionally, so it's no wonder that they use it again and again and again. According to Fox, NYC, Chicago, and LA have all been burned to the ground at least three times each in the last decade. And they've been pointing to Europe as a racist's cautionary tale for at least as long.
Yeah, but they've spent literally 25 years shitting on France because they asked for evidence after 9/11...
It's been beat deep into Republican voters heads that France is bad and they don't like France. They fucking renamed French fries, "freedom fries" never caught on, but you still get looks/comments if you don't only say "fries" when ordering them.
It's not like one cognitive dissonance is enough to wake them up, but this is a complete 180 on a main talking point out of nowhere, I can't think of a single good thing trump has ever said about France.
Republican voters won't change their views over this stuff, but when faced with uncomfortable truths like this, their default is to check out of the conversation. This won't motivate them to vote to save the French, this will make them tune out to any future political messaging, and not vote.
They'll just pretend there isn't an election rather than have to use critical thinking to try and justify it
Burned to the ground the same number of times Trump has completely obliterated Iran's nuclear program.
What exactly are these "Western values", Donnie? Seems to me they largely involve rapacious cunts such as him stomping on the faces of the masses, taking all their wealth and running.
Good, it needs to burn.
Maybe we just burn the right instead of the entire country.
Start with the whitehouse
You mean more than it is now? They'll build more concentration camps for brown people?
In the conservative mindset, there is no room for empathy or justice, only order. And people in camps is orderly, provided it's other demographics put there by an authority.
Someone should slay the Mad King
My wife and I submitted our ballots this afternoon!
I can't wait to see the fear on his face when he realized how fucked he is! Fucking vote!
I be votin to knock the 'T' outta that name.
It'll fly up into the air and land at the end of 'publican'
And he’ll be the one with the flamethrower.
They're desperate in NYS. Offering to ignore income tax before 50k and 100k and increase shale drilling and fracking. What worries me is these dumb boomers will fall for it.
He'll guarantee it, right?
I have stockpiles of styrofoam.
I'll bring gasoline! It will be the most expensive napalm I've ever made but that's OK.
That's hot. I'm jealous. Just think of all the super neato crafts you could do!!
>:3
Don't threaten me with a good time.
So he's a pedophile and an arsonist?
Burn baby burn!
And it'll be the republicans who are doing it.
no no. let me fix this. "America will burn republicans when they lose". and I can't wait to smell the burning rotten flesh of these nazi fucks.
Did he rename himself America? Because I’d love to see him literally lit up on fire.
And that is different how ?
He's going to nuke San Diego. He even said it a couple of times in public.
I'd bet money he tries to hit the big red button daily so they set up a fake one and just makeup a country so he thinks he actually won and forgets the whole thing a few hours later.
No shit. He's the one who's doing the burning.
If the usa burning is the only way to end American imperialism, I would be fine with it
Fine, then burn it. If he thinks his right wingers will get out of such a thing unscathed he is in for a big surprise. Dont threaten us with a good time.
Nothing new, the Orange Turd set plenty of dumpster fires.
If this happens, it won't be the Democrats lighting the fires.
It's worth is the equivalent of a toddler saying all dogs will turn in their owners if school is allowed to open on Monday.
I couldnt give two fuqs
If by America he means the WH, then yeah. When he decides to ignore the election results and effectively rule over as a king, he will burn in hell and we will put him there.
No you won’t, you’ll put up with whatever he does and find excuses for why you can’t act on it.
Sad to say, the vast majority of Americans won't turn off Hulu and get off their asses.
That der spiegel cover from 2020 being spot on again
let me guess, he's got the matches
What a lazy non-article.

The free healthcare he's threatening us with will help a lot with that.
Your wealth will burn when we strip it from you and distribute it to those in need.
As if anyone could afford the gasoline to start that...
Wait, did he just suggest that fuel prices would drop?
I read that as Trump warns America will burn Republicans.
Gradbear can't decide whether they want to go vote or not now-meme
Will be so happy to one day- wake up and not have to smell his fucking diaper. Praying that day comes soon.
Isn't America burning arm?
He needed the press coverage of the French riots like his diapers need changing.
And he is holding the matches.
Lots of critters, critters burn good. We're fat and slow so we'll smell like BBQ as we roast.
