Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

The words in the picture are wrong. It should be:
I'm going to build my own UN with
little children and more little children!

Is he gonna give himself an award for this too?

[–] Archangel1313@lemmy.ca 18 points 3 days ago

No need. Maria Corina Machado already gave him hers.

The grift goes global.

This isn't his own UN, this is just a blatant way to bribe Trump in the hopes that you'll get something out of it. Like all Trump cons the only ones who will be paying into this are suckers or people that already have leverage on Trump and can guarantee compliance (in which case this is just an extra money laundering step).

I can only assume it will be renamed the "Board of War" in six months

I thought it was about the Gaza Strip "peace" plan. Did I miss something here?
