I just want to say because I see Noone else talking about it, that this Easter fell on 4/20. Not that I really care, but last year there was a bunch of people angry about Easter falling on trans day of visibility. Yet this year it falling on 4/20 (stoner day / hitlers bday) not a peep was made about it. Almost like the hate is the point.
“The Presidency tends, year by year, to go to such men. As democracy is perfected, the office represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. We move toward a lofty ideal. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.” – H.L.Mencken, 1920
Yay! Finally did it!!
Crap
Just realise he’s projecting and just read the capitalised words to see how he feels about himself.
He still hung up on his loss in 2020 and biden, huh
“Laces Out! LACES OUT! LACES OUT! LACES OUT!”
So cringe the pope died
Onion?
Nope. The actual words of dear leader.
I have thought this was a satirical account, so thanks for setting me straight. I don’t quite know what to say.
Joke of a country
Good thing he said it’s sincere! I was starting to doubt his well wishes.
He insulted Supreme Court judges? Holy shit, doesn’t the US have a Contempt of Court law or something? I haven’t seen something this deranged in my entire life that wasn’t in a history textbook.
He’s been mocking them almost daily. The White House posted this a couple days ago. The meeting with the El Salvador dictator was also mocking the Supreme Court.
This is the shit the behaviourally challenged adolescent boys in my kids middle school would contrive.
Aim high, USA.
Well, I’ve blocked US political stuff, so I didn’t see this. Unbelievably petty. In India, while the country is definitely fascist, it would still be very difficult to mock the court so provocatively – even criticising SC decisions is rare, because the courts are still relatively powerful. Though I think in the US the executive appoints judges. Then it’s not surprising at all.
If you read about Indian constitution, this is extremely well designed. So even a fascist government is limited in what it can do.
No liberal measure can really stop a fascist government, though. The judiciary in India is immensely powerful, but still somewhat influenced by local governments. There was a judge who, somewhat infamously, joined the BJP right after his retirement–this has never happened in Indian history. The Weimar Constitution, in theory, was the most democratic constitution with independent institutions and separation of powers. A constitution is only as good as those who interpret it. Even the guy who was the head of the Constituent Assembly famously said that he’d rather burn the document if it failed to protect minorities.
Of course constitution isn’t final, for example if 70% of people one day say they reject the constitution.
Still while constitution is in force and separation of power exists, even government lead by hindutwa fundamentalists with popular support in a country where most if not almost all think religion is super important, can’t dare go against constitution and change it to their liking (it needs 2/3 majority and still most fundamental aspects are immutable). Compare this to the mess the idiot US president is making. To do something similar the Indian government needs to make clever acts, to find loopholes and to abuse detective agencies.
The most dangerous thing going against the constitutional nature is UAPA which is a sedition act and is very much abused.
this is literally the kind of writing you would find scribbled over the walls of a serial killer’s basement. the fact that a third of your country looks at that and thinks “yeah that’s my guy” is really indicative of your mental health crisis.
that and having 2 mass shootings a day.
Wife beaters? Listen, I’ll welcome most anyone with open arms, but I draw the line at police officers.
This is the thing that most astonishes me about this timeline.
Even setting aside all the other issues - politics, ideology, constitutionality, the rule of law, integrity, whatever - Trump is so obviously a raving lunatic that I sincerely have no idea how anyone can possibly fail to see it. There’s nothing at all aubtle or obscure about it - he’s bludgeoningly obviously unhinged.
Do people actually not see that? How? Or do they see it and ignore it? Again, how?
Because most Americans read at about a sixth grade level… And that’s about the level, or lower, that he speaks on.
Religion is a helluva drug. These people are in a cult.
They’re not really paying attention to him, they’re paying attention to Fox News or newsmax or whatever propaganda channel they prefer.
And, at the end of the day they’re not voting for a person, they’re voting for the big three: abortion, guns, and
racismimmigration. That and “sticking it to the libs”.“The best defense against an unhinged world is a good party with an unhinged leader.”
- Republicans, probably.
Broadly, yeah. I suspect that more or less what it boils down to is that the US, even before Trump, was and is so warped by greed and corruption and built around so many lies that it’s effectively insane, and that’s reflected in its political leadership.
It certainly takes a lot of brainworm damage to read this and go “yeah, that’s our guy!”. But then I’ve stopped being surprised by the US years ago. The level of lunacy over there is unparalleled.
They bought the bamboozle. They’re in too deep and they can admit they were wrong. So they just double down.
Such a depressingly common character flaw. I wish people would just be able to admit they were wrong about things…
Remember being in your early 20s and having a friend who drank a little too much or would start fights with everyone but somehow still got invited to everything?
Because he’s a really cool guy when you can have a one on one chat with them. He’s just misunderstood.
I think Trump is that friend for a portion of America.
Rants about Biden seem to dominate every comment, or “weave” about answering any question. “If we don’t deport all hispanics to death camps, then Biden wins.”
