Says President Nero while attempting to grab a nearby fiddle with his tiny, tiny bruised hands.
Last election he said if he wasn’t elected then we would be at war with Iran, gas prices would skyrocket, groceries would be unaffordable, and masked police would be patrolling the streets.
He literally projected exactly what he ended up doing, as is tradition.
Two political parties are supposed to work together for the benefit of everyone, the second a politician tries to divide the country they need to be jailed, or at the very least removed from politics. There is no place for this toxicity in a prosperous country.
Every accusation a confession. No exceptions.
This is fucking insane. I don’t think the POTUS should be threatening every single citizen of the country like that.
I also don’t think a rapist, pedophile, conman, felon, grifter, old ass pudding brain should be POTUS.
Well your country voted for him, TWICE!
Oh sure.
He won fair and square in 2024, right between trying to falsify the election in 2020, attempting to overthrow the government in 2021, and trying to falsify the election in 2026.
He only won the popular vote once.
It’s more like a handful of decisive districts voted for him. Half consistently voted against him.
Yeah well half consistently voted for him, our country has a serious fucking problem and it starts with the people who live in it.
certified braindead comment.
The america this pedophile putin lover wants should be burned to the ground.
“Trump promise to burn America if he doesn’t win”
Fixed it.
Pretty sure you could drop the “if he doesn’t win” bit there and it would be just as accurate…
Trump is the “Look what you made me do”-est of Presidents.
He also rapes children, is a murder, shits his pants, has small hands that smell like cabbage, is a Nazi sympathizer.
Don’t forget the casino(s) he was able to bankrupt
Like supposed end to Iran war after mid terms… why doesn’t he just start burning America now?
“Trump also promises to burn America if he does win.”
“Trump also promises to
burncontinue burning America if he does win.”
Trump warns…
“If Obama wins, the country will burn and be lost to communism” Obama serves two terms in a row, no burning and still waiting for “communism”
“If Biden wins, the country will burn and be lost to communism” Biden wins, still no burning (except Jan.6) or “communism”
“If Kamala wins the country will burn and be lost to communism” Trump wins and we watch him burn and loot the country in 4K HDR 360fps as fascism rolls in
Do republicuck magatards ever learn?
they’re excuses, not justifications. if a phrase lets them pretend a fig leaf of sense they’ll beat that dead horse worse than SNL
These morons are still stuck on its Adam and Eve not Adam and Steeve!
Honesty I used to think Republicans just have different priorities, but ever since W I’ve come to understand they aren’t noble savages… They are just extremely stupid and hateful people.
Id say greedy and hateful.
They arent so stupid as to not have created this quagmire.
The message appeals to those who are NOT going to learn and are like puppets who simply react to their carefully curated x, Facebook, ticktoc, Instagram, and, of course, truth social feeds.
No, in fact, they actively hate education, science, reading, and medicine. So I don’t think that they even CAN learn beyond simple cause/effect relationships like a pigeon
Well no. Learning is anathema to them.
Why do you think the Democrats are any different?
“If Biden wins, we’ll get higher minimum wage”
“If Obama wins, we’ll get universal healthcare!”
“If Clinton wins, we’ll get universal healthcare!”
Suckers gonna suck
If you can’t tell the difference between the Obama/Biden admin and Trump then please tell us what’s your favourite colour of crayon to eat
Someone asked, “Why do some British people not like Trump?” An articulate and witty writer wrote the following response: “A few things spring to mind. Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem. For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace. So, the stark contrast does throw Trump’s limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief. Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty, or even faintly amusing – not once, ever. I do not say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility – for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman. But with Trump, it is a fact. He does not even seem to understand what a joke is – his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty. Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers. And scarily, he does not just talk in crude, witless insults – he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and automatic nastiness. There is never any under-layer of irony, complexity, nuance, or depth. It is all surface. Some might see this as refreshingly upfront. Well, we do not. We see it as having no inner world, no soul. And in Britain we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our heroes are plucky underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist. Trump is neither plucky, nor an underdog. He is the exact opposite of that. He is not even a spoiled rich-boy, or a greedy fat-cat. He is more a fat white slug. A Jabba the Hutt of privilege. And worse, he is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully and racist. That is, except when he is among bullies; then he suddenly transforms into a snivelling sidekick instead. There are unspoken rules to this stuff – the Queensberry rules of basic decency – and he breaks them all. He punches downwards – which a gentleman should, would, could never do – and every blow he aims is below the belt. He particularly likes to kick the vulnerable or voiceless – and he kicks them when they are down. So, the fact that a significant minority – perhaps a few of us– of look at what he does, listen to what he says, and then think ‘Yeah, he seems like my kind of guy’ is a matter of some confusion and no little distress to British people, given that: You do not need a particularly keen eye for detail to spot a few flaws in the man. This last point is what especially confuses and dismays British people, and many other people too; his faults seem pretty hard to miss. After all, it is impossible to read a single tweet, or hear him speak a sentence or two, without staring deep into the abyss. He turns being artless into an art form; he is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of shit. His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum. God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid. In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws – he would make a Trump. And a remorseful Doctor Frankenstein would clutch out big clumps of hair and scream in anguish: ‘My God… what… have… I… created? If being a twat was a TV show, Trump would be the boxed set.

Why is the part about Obama cut out?
“For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace – all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed. So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump’s limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief.”
And this sentence you use:
"And worse, he is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully and racist. "
Why did you add “and racist” to that? He never said that.
And this:
“– perhaps a few of us–”
should be “perhaps a third”
Then, after “given that” there should be two points, the first of which your completely left out. Plus, you also left this entire sentence out: “He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George W look smart.”
The piece was good enough without being altered, especially if you don’t tell people you’re editing it. Explain why you did this, please.
Also, please add paragraphs. ;)
Source or if you want the -real- source, I think it’s somewhere on facebook or twitter, but I prefer not looking for those and I don’t have accounts for either of those anyway.
Edit, found the article that links to the twitter posts, if anyone wants to give them clicks.
Sorry. A sloppy posting. I had used the excellent comment as a framework for a scathing critique of our own British neoliberal Trump fan and notorious racist Nigel Farage. Yes, an act of plagiarism but the parallels where hard to resist! “Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?” Nate White, an articulate and witty writer from England wrote the following response: A few things spring to mind.

Chefs kiss
So what he’s saying is that he will burn down the US if he loses…
Exactly right.
This America isn’t worth preserving, if it is a reflection of Trump and his kindred. I do not wish to live the rest of my life in a nation that has been consumed by evil.
I like to imagine Trump’s behavior has opened the door to sweeping changes across the board. I feel like administrations opted for smaller, less impactful in the near term changes, and Trump, to his very limited credit, made sweeping changes rapidly. So let’s see that in the other direction. He’s had SCOTUS support some of his orders, so let’s use them as examples for changes in the opposite direction.
Then let’s close all the loopholes.
Even in the ideal liberal world where Republicans show up and take advantage of loopholes, and then Democrats take power and patch them all, fundamentally this allows a ratcheting effect if Democrats only ever fix and never utilize the power themselves. I’d like to see a truth and reconciliation period similar to South Africa where we take a hard look at ourselves as a nation and address the bigotry that leads us to become such a pariah, both to each other and globally. We can then address the shared goals of bringing back American jobs from a standpoint of honesty at what took them in the first place, and many of the other things that supposedly fueled the collapse of our moral framework. Unfortunately I don’t see a world where any party leaders would engage in this behavior, because moving on is all their donors ever want to do. You don’t need to dig for long to find billionaires meddling, and their favorite time to meddle is in democratic primaries, something the leadership very much wants them to keep doing.
It either changes or we will abandon this sinking ship, one way or another.
Is this a warning or a threat?
Warns or threatens?
“Warns” says the headline, but I think he means “Threatens.”
The higher prices are directly from his tariffs and war and people should know that. Last time, however, prices were not Biden’s fault and economy had recovered better than most places, but the people wrongly blamed Dems as they were instructed to and ignored all the warnings. One relief check went out during his time and two from orange, if you want to try that nonsense. They won’t really care though or understand this, and mindlessly swing back and forth, other than the tribal ones that stick with maga regardless of the damage, and they’re proud to pay more and all the suffering too!
If it must burn to be renewed then it must burn. No different than a sick redwood. I don’t think it’ll burn or it quite needs to, but it needs to be renewed even if it takes burning to do it
Agreed. People need to accept that the nation must fall before we, as people, can rise again. I do not know what the big deal is with moving on from something that isn’t working for anyone. It isn’t working for anyone except a handful of people and the entire world is so exhausted of the US.
What’s even more shocking to me is that we have not yet even come to terms with the reality that we are four distinct regions and each region is preventing the other from succeeding in their own way. Northeast, Texas through Florida, the west and the mid-west. It’s beyond obvious we are four different countries. Most land masses this size have much smaller countries and ours is simply unmanageable.
It will never recover. It can only become something else.
I don’t think burning is inherently necessary, that it means the complete destruction of the country, or that splitting is wise. I’m in the camp of we need to prosecute and repair what’s broken.
The nation doesn’t have to fall. The Empire does. The American Empire needs to realize its over, and pull back. Its current process of trying to exert its will by controlling the fossil fuels needs to cease. The Russian embargo, Venezuela, The Straight of Hormuz are all plays at controlling the oil market. Its the last attempt at keeping power, and it will fail.
I believe we’ve been on fire for a while now.
At this point a cleansing fire might be beneficial.
