Sycophants. That's all that's left in his inner circle.

[–] klemptor@startrek.website 20 points 10 months ago

That's by design. Remember what a revolving door his first administration was? He learned from that and surrounded himself with spineless sycophants this time around.

Beyond the inner circle, Republicans are scared shit-less of stepping out of line. Those who dare are under death threats or they are fired/primaried/removed.

Time to make AI videos of trump eating actual shit from a horse’s ass, go crazy and flood their zone with ‘em.

I dunno, I think the video of him shitting on everyone and then it cutting to eating the shit he rained down on people would be pretty good too.

Pedofile shits all over America. GOP celebrates

"The president uses social media to make a point," Johnson told reporters Monday. "He believes that he is a king and that any protest against him or his appointed officials is treason. In essence, he is a fucking traitor who never should have gotten elected the first time, let alone the second, and I and my colleagues are going to work to impeach him and remove him from office, just as soon as we take our tongues out of his asshole."

-- Mike Johnson, if he was slightly less of a toady piece of shit traitor.

If he ever said “fucking” or “asshole,” I’m pretty sure an alert would pop up on his son’s phone

He is using satire to make a point.

If only that were satire

[–] IzzyScissor@lemmy.world 17 points 10 months ago

I wish our journalists did ANY amount of push-back because calling it satire is just a red herring and I wish they wouldn't even engage with it.

OK, let's assume it is satire used to make a point. What point exactly was he making? That he IS a king and is shitting on us all?

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 17 points 10 months ago (4 children)

At least I have more dignity and self respect than a large portion of the people running my country

Yeah that's not what satire means. And it isn't funny either; but I know that half the pop doesn't know any other type of "humor". Literally shitting on other people, hahahaha

Republicans don't understand satire or metaphor. They think trolling is wit.

They also don't care he just took a wrecking ball to part of the White House. They don't care that he has crashed the economy or broken the government. They are coward sycophants.

[–] uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 10 months ago (7 children)

I think the demolition of the White House is particularly poetic. It also shows us what our federal government is willing to let the regime do without input from the commonwealth.

The No Kings numbers was a warning, a bellwether. Let's see if they're able to pick up on what it means.

Oh, man... imagine not reading the news for the last few days and then reading this title.

I'm reminded about when he broke up a protest against police brutality to get a photo op in front of a church in 2020. I guess that sort of thing is just another tuesday

[–] ArmchairAce1944@discuss.online 12 points 10 months ago

I never forgot about that. But the problem is that every fucking day Trump does something insane. It is actually really, REALLY hard to keep up. When anti-Trumpers do something wrong, it is often the biggest thing they did and people will not shut up about it.

I mean imagine if this a crime like burglary. A guy who did a single burglary years ago has obviously done something wrong, but what if you got a second person who provably did hundreds? I'm sorry, but you can't just focus on the latest shit. Trump has been doing this basically his entire life. He has no redeeming virtues whatsoever. Even during his 'business' days in the 80s and 90s when he was going from failure to failure, he would insult his investors that he didn't screw them up even more... and they would still give him more money for his next failed scheme. I don't get it.

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 27 points 10 months ago

Don't fall for it. Trump is using poop to deflect from the pee. Never forget the pee! Release the Epstein files and put this guy in a cell already. It's finally time for the victim's of these rich powerful people to win one.

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 27 points 10 months ago

They eat his shit daily, so why not watch him play with it

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 27 points 10 months ago

just imagine Obama doing that during his term. i think half of them would just straight up die to an aneurysm. they had conniptions when he wore a tan suit.

Human shit would of course support this.

This is the setup to the wildest aristocrats joke. Once somebody releases the video of trump banging his daughter in a room full of shit it will be complete.

[–] Sunflier@lemmy.world 17 points 10 months ago

[–] nki@lemmy.ml 12 points 10 months ago (7 children)

It's shocking to witness what's happening in the US of A as an outsider.

[–] LastYearsIrritant@sopuli.xyz 13 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Well, unfortunately many other countries aren't looking at the USA as a warning, but as an example.

The right wing is gaining ground in a lot of places that should know better.
