      It’s like watching a spoiled kids gunko pop collection. They are cheap and ugly but he’s still proud and wants praise even tho he didn’t do anything for it.

      Someone probably showed him a collection of trophies or something and he was like: i want that, but without the trophies.

        Everything is new-in-the-box, not to be played with. DON’T TOUCH THAT!

        All the theoretically coolest stuff (well, not in this case), but in the most joyless, unfun context possible.

      Not to diminish what the soldiers at the front have to go through, but having to play nice with such a shit person as Trump, only for your country to still get less support than under sleepy Joe, must be painful beyond belief. I wouldn’t even last a day having to kiss Trumps feet.

          Nah, dude was like 78 years old and mentally gone. That rhetoric is legitimate. The last thing we should be doing is pretending that he was an acceptable candidate and the Democrats did nothing wrong.

          And by the way, Trump is 79 years old and also mentally gone, as you can see in the OP photo.

                Can you do two things for me:

                • Stop putting words in my mouth
                • pay attention to what I’m saying

      I honestly don’t know why he even takes these meetings with trump. I don’t want to sound like an asshole, but damn, it really makes me wonder about his intelligence and really, just his awareness in general. Its so fucking obvious he’s going to get nothing from these meetings even before they happen. Just seems like an extreme waste of time for a man that has much MUCH bigger things to deal with.

        Even if you know you’re going to lose a match you still show up to play. Zelensky is playing the game that’s politics and yeah I bet he knows how trump doesn’t give a fuck or care besides the last compliment he received but Trump gets to say yes or no especially to the arms deal was “talked about” for 100 billion so Us gets money and Ukraine gets “NATO 5 security protections” how ever doubtful is going to happen he has to play or at least be there to listen to the and be able to use his for voice for his country’s survival. I get and understand your view and frustrations as from well and if we can see it here “arm chairing” the situation from here I’m sure it’s plenty palatable on what the situation is there on the “ground floor” . Look how levity acted right after the meeting with Putin and everyone reaction who attended meeting after, there faces and tone said it all the US is capitulating to Russia over allies and Ukraine and from the look of things that’s probably not going to change with the tan mango or US foreign policy as brine soon. Hope you don’t take this as me disagreeing with your perspective because if you’re not frustrated and upset you’re not paying attention. I want Ukraine to win and the clock is running on time and support as more countries still move towards the far right with elections results and the US isn’t helping things in that sphere either… sorry about the ramble and long reply and hope you took my reply as a different view on the same situation but hey I’m just a very concerned person with the state of the world right now same as you where our sphere of conserve is global but our influence is very minuscule in comparison. Do what you can from the bottom up locally/politically if you’re able too and that’s going to be on what you consider possible and safe for your own self and loved ones. Shit has been scary and continues too get worse by the day hour it seems at the end of the day we each have to decide our own level of involvement for whatever reason that may be (I’m not trying to hate on any one who cannot voice their opinion because it might put them in danger of being kidnapped by ICE in the US or reprisals that may get you fired or black balled in your work or industry but if you can work either in the shadows or your in a privileged position or class please use your voice for those who cannot or have already been silenced)

            Apologies… embarrassed we couldn’t even put on a friendly face for such a great ally. Please do everything you can to distance yourself from us till we prove we “got our shit” together.

      The hats aren’t even of good quality. Most rip apart easily. Chinese-made hats are better than that.

              Bingo. I work with clothing and people like to complain about the generics, but if you get something above the absolute cheapest shirt we offer (go figure, it’s what most people go for), you’ll end up with something pretty nice.

              MAGA doesn’t care about quality. Like, at all. All of the customers I’ve gotten that are clearly on that side of the fence all want it cheap and fast. Who cares if it looks or feels good as long as you tick the box. They wouldn’t know taste if it threw up in their mouth.

      Why not? There are other Trumps who are eligible. If Junior runs, they don’t even need to change the banners or the hats much. They dont even need to hide it, they can have big “Donald Trump jr for President” banners still. Dad can go campaigning, and they can make perfectly clear who will make the decisions.

        There are sadly, a lot of men in power who are also rapists the same way normal people eat breakfast.

        If we don’t take collective action and start caring about our communities and linking arms with people we don’t agree with on everything, we are going back to a time when little girls are property of the state and have no future past “fleshlight for fat old fucks” or “baby machine.”

          International sex trafficking rings have been Hollywood fodder for movies like Taken, for as long as there have been movies. As a human population, we all believe that something like this goes on somewhere.

          Now we find out that it was going on for real, and people like Trump, Epstein, Casablanca, Brunel, and others were operating it. Instead of demanding that all of them be rounded up and prosecuted, MAGAs just dismiss the whole thing, even though it was this child sex trafficking ring that inspired their involvement in the first place.

          It’s like they got to the bottom of the rabbit hole, and decided “Eh, fuck it, I’m cool with it. Carry on.”

            It’s like they got to the bottom of the rabbit hole, and decided “Eh, fuck it, I’m cool with it. Carry on.”

            Oh you’re right, it was never about protecting children, it was about feeling special for figuring out a secret “they” don’t want you to know. When “They” come out in the open and just admit to it and show exactly who is doing it and how far it goes without secrecy, it loses interest for the obsessives and people missing things from their lives.

            It was about the hunt, not the outcome. And this is an attitude that a LOT of people have about far more things than just Q-anon conspiracy, most liberals and leftists also have their own cars they chase without a plan for what to do when they catch it. Everyone has some storyline they’re engaged with and feel connected to.

            And these storylines are deliberately being both seeded and capitalized on to keep a leash around the population and to keep people from unifying.

          He already attempted to overturn an election he lost. He’s repeatedly stated he wants a 3rd term. He has consilidated his oower and put loyalists in nearly every position of power

          What more could he do to make it clear he plans to stay in power?

          Edit: Forgot, He’s taken over DC law enforcement. You know, the people that stopped his mob from overthrowing the government in 2020?

            Yeah, we’ve seen this over and over, where he says something heinous, and all the MAGAs claim that he was only joking, and then we find out our later than he was 100% serious.

            He’s 100% serious about this. Everybody thinks those cases about Jan6 and the stolen documents are over, but they aren’t, they’re just waiting for him to not be president again. He knows that once he is out of office, there is about a 100% chance he goes to prison for life. Before 2024, he had a shot at at house arrest, now he’ll be lucky if he doesn’t get the death penalty. Life in prison would be a gift, one that he doesn’t deserve.

            So he will do ANYTHING it takes to stay in office, because he has to. Martial Law, suspend elections, election fraud, flat out refusing to abide by the the election or the Constitution, etc. He will choose one, or all of them, and MAGA will back him all the way, and fight for him to stay in power.

            We will probably have to kill him, and anyone who defends him, before we can get our nation back, and I’m fine with that.

    When Trump served fast food to college athletic champions…

    what a fucking embarrassment.

    not, “look at the things I built”, but “look at the things I’ve collected”.

    what a vile pathetic and weak leader.

      And he never shut up about how embarrassing Biden apparently was.

      If one of my friends showed me a collection of hats with their name on it, I would pull them aside and ask if they have considered getting professional help.

      Those aren’t things he collected! They’re merch! He’s got multiple of each item. It’s a griftshop not a collection.

    Also also pictured: a framed photo of him doing the fist pump after his failed assassination. Also one of those hats says Trump 2028.

    I fucking hate this man with all of my body and soul. Fuck every last person who voted for this cunt.

          Letting Trump win has directly led to the slaughter of thousands of Palestinians. Along with all the other horrors of his reign.

          Harm reduction works and as much as I abhor the Israeli genocide of Palestinians the people who stayed home because Kamala wouldn’t acknowledge genocide are still complicit in Trump’s reelection.

            I’m judging the people who stayed home, too; just not as harshly. There were at least two candidates on the ballot who had the correct position on Gaza, so those voters don’t have an excuse.

              Voting for a candidate that won’t clear 5% is just as bad if not worse than skipping out on the election. That protest vote was summarily ignored before it was even cast and won’t effect any level of change. Anybody who decided Kamala’s refusal was worse than Trump’s everything has fallen victim to the same right-wing disinformation that MAGAts have been slurping up harder than an altar boy at a Catholic Church for a decade.

                I’m still going to do the right thing, even if only .0000000000000001% are doing the right thing.

                The question isn’t why am I trying to help Stein win; the question is why you aren’t.

                That protest vote was summarily ignored before it was even cast and won’t effect any level of change.

                I don’t protest vote. I think that’s stupid. That would be like writing in Mickey Mouse or something like that. I’m voting for a candidate’s platform that I believe in, not against another candidate’s. Ironically, a “protest vote” would more accurately reflect many votes for Harris, i.e. people who didn’t care about her platform but wanted to stop Trump.

                BTW, my vote was not ignored. It was counted. You can see how many votes Stein got on her Wikipedia article.

                  So you are admitting, in your own words, you’re not interested in doing anything useful, you only care about grandstanding on your soapbox about your proclaimed moral superiority.

                  You and everyone who didn’t bother to vote for the ONLY candidate who had a chance to win against trump made a path for his reelection. Your arrogant stupidity contributed to making the living nightmare of the west bank and gaza palestinians 10 times worse. You can choke on your dumb rationalisation.

            Yeah, imagine caring about people in another country that you’ll never even meet. I mean, how do I even know that Gaza is real? It might just be something that Jeffrey Epstein and Vladimir Putin made up to make Democrats look bad!

              Just to clarify: People are assuming you voted for Trump (or at least not for Harris) in an effort to support Palestine

              The result of Trump being elected is the current situation, where there is a very real possibility of Israel taking complete control of the Gaza Strip and genociding or displacing all Palestinians currently there

              When it comes to the Gaza Strip, Harris was the lesser of two evils. Anyone who voted for Trump, or a 3rd party, helped Netanyahu commit genocide free of American interference. Trump’s America is even giving Bibi huge political and material support, far in excess of what America has ever given before

              If that accurately describes you, then we’re all on the same page. If it doesn’t, you may want to clarify your comments now

                Personally I assumed third party. It’s the common bullshit line they spout despite knowing third party candidates have little to no chance of winning under our current electoral system. They voted idealistically instead of practically and pat themselves on the back as if their protest votes actually meant anything.

                Genocide is a black-and-white issue. When voting, the second-best thing you can do is not vote for a pro-genocide candidate. The best thing you can do is vote for an anti-genocide candidate. In this election, there were two: Cornel West and Jill Stein.

                  It sucks that third party candidates have no chance to win without major overhauls in how our political system works. Those overhauls haven’t happened yet, unfortunately, and everyone voting third party for the reasons you state knew it during the last election. I’m sure the people in Palestine would be tripping over their emaciated children to line up and sniff your farts with you.

          And how’s that Trump support working out for Palestine? Because as someone who voted for Kamala this is playing out exactly like everyone said it would - more dead innocent Palestinians and Gaza being handed to Netanyahu on a bloody platter

              Not supported genocide, for one

              A vote for Stein was effectively a vote for the current regime. Hope you’re happy with the results

                Not supported genocide, for one

                When did she say that? She gave every indication that she would continue Biden’s policies.

                A vote for Stein was effectively a vote for the current regime.

                When has Stein ever endorsed genocide?

                Hope you’re happy with the results

                If you’re a Biden-Harris voter, you’re the one who should be happy. Trump is only continuing Biden’s policies. Agreeing with Biden’s position on Gaza but disagreeing with Trump’s position must take some serious mental gymnastics.

              At the top of my head, I would say not declare that she intends to raze gaza to the ground, deport all the palestinians, and then turn it into a fucking resort bearing her name.

        Someone with an all encompassing ego. His narcissistic personality has probably devoured his flight, fight, and freeze instincts at this point meaning that was the only thing he was capable of.
