Bro imagine if the American people gave a shit about anyone but themselves?

[–] spittingimage@lemmy.world 9 points 18 hours ago

He does not look well in that photo. It'd be a shame if he shat himself to death before the midterms...

They already show that he trafficked, raped, and murdered women and children. Most Americans do not seem to care.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 10 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Most Americans do not seem to care.

They think the wealthy should be entitled to anything.

[–] cmbabul@slrpnk.net 4 points 19 hours ago

Very close, they believe that’s just the way of the world and nothing can be done to fix it

[–] Malica@lemmy.zip 23 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Was it ever lost? The only way to deal with a bully is to stand up to him, everyone knows that

[–] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 12 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

It seems a lot of countries thought capitulation would make Trump treat them nice.

I hope they can learn from Canada and Iran's examples.

[–] cmbabul@slrpnk.net 7 points 20 hours ago

We use to have a different term for that before WWII. I believe we called it appeasement

He’s 90% Achilles heel.

His only strength is convincing morons that he’s somehow smart.

[–] TheBloodFarts@lemmy.ca 5 points 16 hours ago

Unfortunately it's quite the fucking strength apparently

[–] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 36 points 1 day ago

Rapists and bullies dont know what to do when their targets fight back.

It's the same reason why any US military adventurism in Canada is extremely stupid. We know you fucks too well, much better than you know us. We know exactly how to hurt you and you're too arrogant to even think we can.

[–] northertech@fedia.io 6 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

You don't invade a country where they all are better educated than you, have better wealth equality than you, look and talk exactly like you, and have an endless supply of ANFO. It would be the troubles 10x and we can send fully equipped sabotage raids basically anywhere in your homeland. The border is too large to defend.

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago

Not unless you’re Russia, at least.

[–] Steve@startrek.website 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I case we don’t meet again, I’m sorry.

[–] Knoxvomica@lemmy.ca 4 points 23 hours ago

Doesn't matter if you're sorry, you'll be sorry.

[–] friend_of_satan@lemmy.world 6 points 20 hours ago

Thanks Bro Canada, seriously. Will come and visit soon.

Achilles bone spur

[–] Jhex@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I mean, have you see his amorphous cankles? you'd have to be blind to miss those heels

[–] Canconda@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 day ago

Cankilles heel.

Is it ignoring him and not capitulating?

Achilles heel spurs

[–] tangeli@piefed.social 3 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Trump has spent much of his second term flouting the longtime convention of U.S. administrations avoiding direct involvement in other countries’ elections.

This must be written by AI.

[–] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 6 points 21 hours ago

When has the US not interfered in other countries elections?

That's been a significant part of the CIA's operations since the agency was created.

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 2 points 16 hours ago

This stuff is so ingrained now they don’t even need commissars in the media organisations.

[–] dermanus@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Why?

I see this comment on basically every news article these days. The sentence you quoted is bog standard journalistic style.

[–] tangeli@piefed.social 2 points 1 day ago (2 children)

the longtime convention of U.S. administrations avoiding direct involvement in other countries’ elections.

When has the US ever not interfered in the elections of other countries? Nothing but AI could be that delusional. Trump is flouting some conventions but in this regard, there is nothing to flout.

[–] asg101@lemmy.ca 2 points 14 hours ago

Dunno why you are getting down votes. The US has been interfering in other countries elections since AT LEAST World War 2.

[–] dermanus@lemmy.ca 7 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

I think you underestimate how delusional humans are. Also, the point here is direct involvement, usually they're more subtle.

[–] tangeli@piefed.social 5 points 21 hours ago

subtle: like kidnapping and murdering leaders of other countries?
