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

[–] klemptor@startrek.website 20 points 2 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.

My favourite thing about this is that .... he'll be remembered forever for shit like this (no pun intended).

Think about it ... JFK had famous speeches and lines like 'We choose to go to the moon' ... Eisenhower is thought of to his line 'the Military Industrial complex' ... Roosevelt for his 'Day of infamy' speech ... even Reagan is remembered for his 'Tear down this wall' speech

Trump? ... he'll be remembered as a senile old buffoon who shared childish videos to make fun of the citizens he was supposed to govern.

.... and it isn't just representative of Trump ... no matter how the country feels about it ... his stupidity reflects on the entire nation.

[–] logicbomb@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago (3 children)

he’ll be remembered

That's what he wants. To have more money than other people, and to be remembered.

In a way, that's one nice thing about how he's destroying America. America will be weakened so much that maybe soon some other country or some new country will rule this land, and the United States will be relegated to history books. And then, Trump will only be remembered by very specialized historians.

In China they have these statues of a corrupt official and his wife that killed a loyal general like 1000 years ago. People spit on those statues to show they haven't forgotten the betrayal. Maybe Americans can take a cue from that and always "remember" Trump in that way when he's gone.

[–] UniversalBasicJustice@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Hear me out; we take all the statues of Confederate losers and whatever gaudy atrocious bullshit cheeto comes up with, set them all up in a swamp with catwalks placed close enough that people can spit, piss, and if so motivated and properly prepared, projectile vomit/shit on their memories.

fun fact : in the U.K. the word “trump” is slang for “fart”

i really believe that we need to start using that colloquialism a lot more frequently

Pedofile shits all over America. GOP celebrates

[–] elbucho@lemmy.world 82 points 2 months ago (1 children)

"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.

[–] moondoggie@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago

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

[–] 100_kg_90_de_belin@feddit.it 72 points 2 months ago (6 children)

He is using satire to make a point.

If only that were satire

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?

[–] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 13 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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 2 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.

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.

[–] Estiar@sh.itjust.works 27 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

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.

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.
