The Trump family and administration directly benefit from these wars through oil investments and unregulated betting market manipulation. The American people do not.

They are blasting OUR money out of a FIREHOSE to return pennies on the dollar to themselves. They don’t give a flying fuck about wasting a billion tax-dollars a day to bomb schools in Iran and then wasting $300 billion more to rebuild because it makes THEM money!

Meanwhile, the fucking senate whimpers like a mouse with a non-binding resolution and then folds the next fucking day on making yet another pussy ass non-binding resolution to end the Iran war after Trump yelled at Bill Cassidy, a SINGLE senator. Un. Fucking. Real.

Trump saw a big fat Twinkie and dipped our bulbous, swollen nuts into a mousetrap for it. Now he gets to prance away while we waffle about trying to un-fuck his latest epic half-baked scam, just like every other organization he has ever even farted in the vicinity of. And, he gets paid for it. Now, we get to be Trump’s daddy! Forever! Wheeee!

Watch for congress to FOLD LIKE A BITCH and hand Trump every last fucking dollar you pay in taxes until the money you actually do make turns to shit because they’re printing it like toilet paper just to keep up with Trump’s unquenchable, unmitigated, pathological, narcissistic, galactic singularity of greed.

I’m hoping and praying for gas prices to EXPLODE. I hope Iran cements the entire strait shut with the crude they seize and the bodies of their murdered children. Maybe that will FINALLY make the American idiocracy realize that this man has been FUCKING us his whole wretched, empty, pathetic, and impossibly selfish life. It will take empty shelves and $20 a gallon gas to slap America across the face and WAKE THE FUCK UP! One hundred fucking years of American prosperity, equity, and blood, to suck up to a petty, disgusting, pathetic, braying donkey of a narcissist with the political guile and the emotions of a child. I cannot fucking believe Americans were duped into this.

Finally, I would just like to go on record and take every last bit of credit remaining for seeing this painfully obvious and completely transparent fraud in back in 2015 after watching Trump speak for five fucking minutes. Although, how anyone can be entertained, let alone duped, let alone be obsequious to Trump, the biggest malignant narcissist who will ever exist, the most ham-fisted and oblivious conman to ever walk the earth, still escapes me.

There is no post mortem on this one; no careful reflection on the soul of a nation. Just a vast glowing plastic wasteland of half-demolished old-world monuments, decaying casinos, and pile after pile of garbage-filth soaked American flags overflowing the gutters, while giant overdriven loudspeakers berate in static: “AMERICA FIRST!” This is the apocalyptic legacy of Trump.

Can we just go back to the same old classic pharma-addicts-America-to-OxyContin scandal again? I really need one.

Great insight, and thanks for the correction.

Well put, thanks.

Never interrupt an enemy while they are making a mistake.

Declaration of Independence: A Transcription

This is what makes us American. Not our race, creed, color, religion, gender, orientation, or anything else that might divide us. We stand united in our beliefs of self-governance, equality, and the pursuit of happiness.

Elon Musk and his racist father can go straight to hell.

While the ID requirements vary, you already have to show some form of acceptable ID to register. The majority of states also already have varying ID requirements at the polls for voting on Election Day.

All US states and territories, except North Dakota, require voter registration by eligible citizens before they can vote in federal, state and local elections.

Voting is also already safeguarded, fraud is rare, and overwhelmingly, only eligible US citizens are able to vote.

FACT #1: States have myriad checks in place to make sure that only eligible U.S. citizens can vote.

7 Facts About Voting — and Myths Being Spread About Them

The history of litigating voter access is as old at the United States, and voting laws have been used in myriad ways to try and restrict who can vote. The methods usually indicate the targets, and restrictive voter ID laws usually target poor or disadvantaged people who skew Democratic.

Yes, and not only that, the very forefathers who signed this declaration enslaved the people it didn’t apply to for a long time after.

This bright vision of America is contrasted by the hypocrisy and failures of its leaders and citizens from then and to this day. But it is also upheld by brave people who dedicate their lives to correcting it, and the everyday citizens who participate in their government to shape that vision.

Musk’s ironic and oblivious endorsement of white colonization could be said to reflect the hypocrisy of the first colonizing immigrants to this land, and the founding fathers. But his words do not reflect their ideals as laid out in the Constitution and the Declaration. I think the first step in eliminating that hypocrisy is holding ourselves to those ideals today.

I think that while racism is an American tradition, it is not an American idea and so must be rejected out of hand. Musk may live here, and operate massive business interests intertwined with our government, and he may technically be a citizen, but he is not an American in my view.

Crimes involving the use of firearms are prevalent in the Philippines, partly due to the proliferation of unlicensed firearms, but school shootings are relatively rare.

There’s no proof stronger that they absolutely despise poor people than gleefully ripping out a system that tries to protect most vulnerable people in the world.

This looks like one of my Cities:Skylines cities.

How’s the app support? I want to switch if/when the Motorola phones come out, but I’m wondering how many of my apps/services I’ll have to abandon.

My country ‘tis of theee… 🥲

Multi-scissor drifting!

Tucker Carlson says he’ll no longer support the Republican Party.

And I support legislation to secure the taxpayer-funded regulatory framework that implements the weekly maintenance required to keep Tucker Carlson’s facial butthole superglued shut.

Both of these statements have equal value.

EDIT: After careful reflection, I have come to the conclusion that while both statements are stupid, mine is significantly better.

If the fentanyl is still making it into the country in “staggering” amounts, then who the hell are we killing on all those boats in the Caribbean?

Someone with talent please make one with a fleshlight in her hand.

Do not make the mistake of thinking that a credit card means you have money. Credit cards mean you do not have money, and you’re about to have even less.

Is it even “lying” any more if that’s literally all they’re capable of?

It is a delusional narcissist’s false projected reality that can only be immediately dismissed, because if you take time to even consider it the intended effect of injecting doubt has been accomplished. It’s just noise; a memetic hazard fishing for a weak impressionable mind to inhabit. At this level of broad transmissibility and influence, I can only manage to describe it in the terms of a dangerous psychological phenomenon.

In the end, the reflecting pool is a symptom and not a cause. It accurately reflects the state of our country right now. If a dirty pool meant we spent the money and effort on food, housing, and schools, I’d be happy to see it. Instead, we have a fitting monument symbolic of America’s corruption, inept leadership, and Trump’s sad obsession with gaudy real estate projects built in his image by the lowest bidder most capable of fellating his ego.

It is a tidy distraction from the cold-blooded murder abroad and at home, and from bargaining away the country to America’s enemies for the low price of funneling money and power to Trump’s interests.

It defies description.

Oh no, you’ve got diarrhea AIDS!
