    He wasn’t joking, stop pretending he’s anything other than an authoritarian shithead.

      People who go on about Trump joking or making distractions are insufferable. This shit is actually happening. It’s not a distraction. Nothing he does is a distraction and never has been for decades. He does multiple horrible things simultaneously and most of it sticks.

    There’s an adage - the precise phrasing eludes me - that says you should listen to mad authoritarians’ rants because they tell you what they’re going to do.

      Yeah, I guess there were a lot of germans saying: Nah, Hitler ist just ranting about Jews. Do you really think he somehow will get rid of them all? How should this is even work and anyways most of them are rich and powerful.

    tRump is that kid in school who talks about whatever is on his mind, giving away secrets without even realizing they should be secrets

    • He openly admitted he was rigging the election.
    • Praised Elon for rigging the machines in Pennsylvania.
    • Blamed democrats for a secret cabal of pedophiles who run the world (yet to be proven).
    • Talked about clearly doctored images as proof of guilt.
    • Accused Biden and Harris about starting a war to stay in power.

    This dude is guilty as fuck for everything you could think up and he gives the whole game away constantly like he’s just taunting someone to do something about it. He’s just yet to get caught for some or had accountability for others. It’s a never ending charade of complete, brazen corruption and bullshit. I fucking hate this world.

        I guess it depends how into the war the US gets, but a war against Russia could be pretty involved, supporting a war for Russia might be the more likely outcome at this point though …

      This was legitimately a joke… It was just a very dark and scary joke because he’s been publicly brainstorming ways to rig elections

    Oh, so that’s why he’s threatening my country to clean up the cartels, huh. Just when things are starting to look up for us. I’m gonna have to pay with my future if not with my life because of this dickhead.

    I’m considering joining the military if I’m not too old for it. I may be shedding tears but my rage is bigger than that.

    I am so tired of this man’s idiocy, but I’m even more tired of America not doing anything about it. The only news I want to hear about Trump at this point is his fucking obituary.

          You mean like when California enacted stricter gun laws to stop the black Panthers from carrying?

              I think passing that law just proved that 2A never had any power. And rubbed it in the Panthers’ faces at the same time.

                I mean, rights in general only matter if enough fight for them. We’re seeing this right now with the Fifth and First Amendments; none of this is unique to the Second.

                  Exactly. But all the 2A morons claim it protects the other rights, when it hasn’t. At least not sustainably.
