How, and I'm serious here, how can this thing get voted in? And how did it happen twice?

You'd have to be fucking moronic to the point of being a dribbling idiot to even think that this orange thing was not just a huge piece of unusable scum!!

I get a lot of hate on Lemmy every time I post this, but I genuinely think American voters don’t like women.

We used to punish kids that did petty shit like that.

Yeah, just super weak.

President: "Look at me! Look how big I am!"

Everyone: "That's nice dear, finish your juice"

The fact that FIFA made up some fake award and the doddering fool glowed like he was a toddler given a prize for doing poopy in the potty, none of this is shocking.

I hope the next Democratic President strolls through the White House with a staff trailing behind taking notes, as they point to various things and say: "Take that down, destroy that, replace that, all THIS shit has to go, tear that down, arrest him, him, her, and him, burn that..."

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 15 points 2 days ago

They're gonna have to fumigate the white house and remove all the child pornography first

Rent free...

Anyone trying that hard absolutely knows that they are the problem, and are desperately, desperately trying to deflect.

Oh that's good that means that when Trump is dead they can move one of them and then they have a spare.

There's a lot of talk about whether or not there should be some age limit on a president and they're probably should be, but I think that also needs to be a maturity test. Trump has a level of pettiness normally reserved for teenage girls in badly written YA novels. Imagine being the person that had to make those plaques and then put them up, you'd feel like a prat.

Not only that he is clearly fucking demented. Anyone with any experience with dementia patients can tell you that.

When I read shit like this I think of Trump tearing down the East Wing. He didn't do this personally. Multiple people had to agree and execute.

For example; I managed a reprographics shop. We would have flat refused to make signage such as these plaques. Not because management was woke, we simply wouldn't handle toxic messaging. Somewhere in DC is a shop that said, "Fuck it, the money matters more than morals." Same for the demolition company.

I was a park service employee when this administration began and the back breaking speed everyone bent over and let Trump have his way was disgusting.

I'm talking entire HR departments working fucking COMP TIME (not even OT) just to make sure their colleagues are fired as quickly as possible. Like damn policy allows you to take up to 3 sick days no questions, call out and let people have a few more days of pay.

Everyone with a conscience in leadership instead of trying to resist just resigned day one. The rest fell in line.

I was disgusted and disappointed

Dude’s a frail and frightened little failure of a man. Everthing he does is a result of pure cowardice.

What, are these people twelve?

I know plenty of 12 year olds with more class than this.

I will piss on his grave when given the 1st opportunity.

[–] H3mp79@lemmy.today 45 points 2 days ago

It will be heavily guarded or hidden. It will literally be defaced in the first hour. I will dance on the day of his death. The entire world will celebrate his Demise.

Lol the orange turd calls Biden the worst president in history, while Biden is the best president we've had since Obama.

[–] ipkpjersi@lemmy.ml 11 points 2 days ago

It's so hilarious. Everyone knows who is actually the most divisive president splitting up the people and turning them against each other. Incredible.

[–] banazir@lemmy.ml 19 points 2 days ago (5 children)

These will one day be hung in a museum as a warning, lest we forget. Unfortunately, humanity is just an endless cycle of repeating the same mistakes, so nothing will be learned.

Trump's plaque should contain the aepstein files

[–] bjorn@fedia.io 35 points 2 days ago

This has to be one of the most petty and insignificant acts of trumps this year...

[–] baggachipz@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 days ago

Always disappointed, never surprised.
