77million Americans thought this treasonous pedofile con man was fit to give their vote to three times.

[–] P1nkman@lemmy.world 26 points 2 months ago (1 children)

77? This just proves the election was rigged!

If I come across the 77 motherfuckers who did this

[–] Sciaphobia@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago

It is ALSO true that 77 did.

77 plus a few more.

And 90 million took a look at Trump and Harris and went "both look fine, I don't care enough to vote".

both look fine, I don’t care enough to vote

Voter suppression in the United States

Past that, it is very weird to insist a less-than-perfect turnout in a Blue States was a vote for Trump. And God help you if you had the nerve to vote third party. This was somehow a vote for both Trump and Harris, through the eyes of the opposition parties.

Harris shed over 10M votes relative to Biden, and Democrats still don't want to ask why. It's always a betrayal of the party by the voters. Politicians never seen to have any duty to the people.

And another 40 million are shocked because people aren't falling in line for controlled opposition.

We really are a stupid bunch. Rich people keep getting richer off of it ;)

You're actually a bunch of farm animals, bred for docility and body mass. The most profitable part of the herd is the poor children. Republikkklans LOVE poor children......

'Thought' implies that they made premeditated, informed decisions out of own free will, and were not manipulated into voting for whatever the media outlet they happened to listen to told them.

It is always, ALWAYS, a grift.

“Russia has so many vast resources, vast expanses of land,” Witkoff, who last week was busted coaching Russians on how to best suck up to the president, told The Wall Street Journal.

“If we do all that, and everybody’s prospering and they’re all a part of it, and there’s upside for everybody, that’s going to naturally be a bulwark against future conflicts there. Because everybody’s thriving,” Witkoff said.

For Witkoff, Kushner, and the Russians, the goal is reportedly to revitalize Russia’s $2 trillion economy through joint Russia-U.S. ventures. At the center of the talks is $300 billion in frozen Russian central bank assets that Russia wants to give to U.S. businesses for investment projects and U.S.-led reconstruction of Ukraine.

so fucking dumb. Russia's economy had become intertwined with Europe's due to energy. everyone was benefiting.

IT DIDN'T FUCKING MATTER!

Russia has made it IMPOSSIBLE to be at peace with them.

They really are the worst people

This is what “running the country like a private business” looks like. Line must go up.

[–] avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 35 points 2 months ago (1 children)

This won't end well for the US long term but American capitalism can't see that far.

[–] Asfalttikyntaja@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 months ago

This won’t end well for all of us in this world.

There is a special place in Hell for all these self-professed “Christians.”

Profiteering in war .... profiteering in peace .... which will lead to more war... which will lead to more profiteering in war .... repeat, repeat, repeat

Follow the money.

It's a VERY old and EFFICTIVE police trick to FIND the real CRIMINAL.

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 12 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Yeah but police follow the money until it gets too hard to pull people in (or someone on the force is protecting them).

So usually they just take your basic B&Es and corner street dealers and shoplifters and leave it at that.

Nobody ever asked why the criminals chose a life of crime.

Nobody goes after the employers that are paying slave wages, training employees how to sign up for welfare, or getting their employees to work off the clock.

The welfare one especially. People get mad at welfare recipients and not the people that put them in that position. Welfare is subsidizing the Walton's more than anything. They could afford to pay their employees a living wage, but why would they when they can pay the minimum and working-class taxpayers can pay for the rest. Dumbass redcaps should be shunning Walmart, not sucking its proverbial dick.

Deja vi

We've been exactly here before and nothing happened

This won't happen either. The Cheeto will be buried by the trump/Epstein files soon enough

He's approaching GWB numbers and can't be elected again and is going to die soon. You can see the wheels coming off in real time if you're paying attention. The only thing propping him up right now is the SC and the media.

Upvoting for hope. 👍

Rebellions are built on hope.

[–] grainOfSalt@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago

and whatever the doctors at Walter Reed are pumping him full of

[–] Kazumara@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 2 months ago

vu, the past participle of voir.

[–] pinheadednightmare@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That’s the first pic of trump that I have seen that makes him look somewhat normal for his age. God he looks like a villain.

[–] frongt@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 months ago

I don't think he's got his orange facepaint on in that one.

[–] middlemanSI@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

We need a Forengi Trump picture. So appropriate..

[–] myfunnyaccountname@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 months ago

And nothing will happen.

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Still around, this guy?
