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.

Beautiful. Thanks for compiling this.

From that, he does seem to have been getting a lot more agitated over the past week. We'll see how that translates into actions.

Apr 8: TACO!

(I hope)

I swear we live in the dumbest timeline. Can we switch back to pre-Covid timeline before Trump?

[–] razzazzika@lemmy.zip 3 points 6 minutes ago

That... was Trump too.youre looking for pre 2017.

"we don't negotiate with terrorists"

[–] bluesheep@sh.itjust.works 1 points 13 minutes ago

Imagine not being able to negotiate internally

This could be a blessing in disguise. He called Biden a retard on Monday. He's now upped the threats a notch.

Could be he got some very bad health news from Walter Reed medical over the weekend.

No one in their right mind talks with a lunatic.

By acting crazy and threatening people, dj appears to have made up his own mind long ago.

Americans if this is not the time for second amendment I don’t fucking know what it. This is Munich 1938, it’s now or deal with a king and a world war where you guys are the Nazis.

The opposition has been infighting and soon you’ll all be silenced too. Before Germany invaded Europe, they stamped out any dissent within their borders first. Throwing the growing list of undesirable in camps without due process.

It’s not like this is already happening in America is it? 🤔 But really Americans how much more do you need? And don’t just throw your arms up in the air and dodge blame while you sit on your couch watching Netflix.

Your country was won by fat farmers and every profession in between when they realized it was UNITE OR DIE

[–] Vinylraupe@lemmy.zip 1 points 16 minutes ago

They didnt invade all of Europe.

Tell me you have dementia without telling me.

Psychopath. Absolute psychopath. (not Iran)

People in the US, Have you called your representatives yet? This is the time to do the smallest thing to make your voice known.

I'd suggest using 5 calls if you don't know your representatives.

[–] moxymarauder@thelemmy.club 2 points 7 minutes ago

You mean my representative who manages one of the worst gerrymandered districts in the country who basically told me to go f*ck myself the last three times I authored a diplomatically-toned letter regarding my concerns about the current administration?

[–] kamayatu24@lemmy.world 1 points 24 minutes ago

We understand that Trump will do absolutely nothing. This is empty talk, which he has always had.

[–] bagsy@lemmy.world 22 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

He's a shitting, screaming, spoiled child having a temper tantrum. Oh, he also has access to the nuke codes. Nothing to worry about. /s

[–] KC_Royalz@lemmy.world 8 points 1 hour ago

Well if the nukes fly tonight I hope there's at least a few that refuse the orders
