There is a particular indignity that comes from living in America, derived from the experience of waking up in the morning to see reports that Donald Trump has said something profoundly evil, and then needing to type “truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump” into your web browser to see if he actually said that. Once there, you can see a post in which Trump did indeed threaten to wipe out the entire civilization of Iran, stacked on top of an ad for a sketchy herbal supplement of some sort:
A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS? We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end. God Bless the Great People of Iran!
On the doorstep of the apocalypse all because Donny raped kids and is trying to cover it up.
You’re delusional if you don’t think he’d be doing this without the epstein files
The Epstein files are just a distraction from a fascist takeover of USA and warmongering around the world in an attempt to isolate USA, so the population will be easier to control and so other countries won’t intervene when they inevitably start purging their political opponent and minorities.
It can be both
The Epstein files are the fascist takeover. Of the world. And it’s been in place for a while, just more visible
I totally agree with you about his motivation. That sick, twisted degenerate.
It’s fucking TACO Tuesday.
What’s everyone expect?
He’ll drop a dozen bombs on some children’s hospitals and schools, call it a major strategic victory and say they’re now begging to make a deal.
The strong man facade is just that.
It’s that, or he orders the airforce to nuke Tehran. It is my hope that, should that happen, the military step in and remove him from power rather than follow such an order. It’s coming to some something when the best hope for the world would be a military coup in the US.
I hate the military… bunch of assholes with a god complex at the top and morons who can’t even find an illegal order with a fucking neon sign at the bottom. but anything is better than Trump. Hell I’d take military checkpoints every 5 miles if it gets me the fuck out of the Timeline that looks to be turning into Transphobic Pedophile Nuclear Hellfire every day.
“TACO Tuesday”. One can only hope. The alternative is ghastly.
He just TACO’ed a few minutes ago.
Fucking called it.
I hate my satire mind calling reality. This is bullshit man.
This
My uncle still says the “Communism” Harris would have brought would be worse…I hate it here
My uncle still says the “Communism” Harris would have brought would be worse.
We’re you brave enough to ask “how, specifically?”
You think I want him to talk More?
Your uncle sounds a lot like my uncle.
Hey Cousin, Let’s Go Bowling!
I’m sorry brother. I feel your pain
Congressional Switchboard: 202-224-3121 - Contact your representatives, ask them to support H.R. 1155 Articles of Impeachment, all 13 of them. Stop the madman, stop the madness.
It’s a noble thought but call your senators is a 1950s response to a modern problem.
FRiend, have you called your Congressional Representatives? H.R. (House Resolution) is appended to Bills in Congress, not Senate. Or are you just part of the modern problem? I’m happy to block trolls if you prefer. Have a nice day.
I appreciate your comment and I wish it were different. I haven’t called because there is no use. Hoping our lawmakers save us hasn’t been a tenable solution for a long time.
Prithy do tell, what solution(s) do you find tenable? Broodily commenting on the Fediverse, perhaps? smh
Unfortunately there are no viable solutions for us. We had our opportunity and we squandered it and now we’re living the consequences.
I don’t think that person even knows the difference between the House and the Senate
There are literal articles of impeachment being brought in Congress (not the Senate), and contacting Representatives en masse does work.
Why are you on here discouraging people from doing something that could actually help? At the very worst, it does nothing.
Let me know when it works out for you.
Buddy, you’re talking to like the most pessimistic asshole ever. I have no illusions about how likely this is to work. That doesn’t mean I’m going to actively speak out against it. That’s just fucking stupid.
It’s Taco Tuesday everyone!
Average mid-2020s Tuesday.
Could you imagine the public revolt if he’d alleged that an election had been cheated? Luckily it’s nothing as major as that, just a potential for protracted international war, increasing costs for citizens, loss of lives, more $billions transferred to the military from Public Services. How taxes and fuel prices might need to increase.
He did allege that the election was cheated?
How many generals does he have to fire before he finds one willing too launch nukes? Hopefully the whole military will start to refuse his orders.
This morning I heard a report that apparently there are soldiers at bases all over the world pushing back at the idea of going to Iran. The soldiers see that those operating this war are hopelessly inept, and it will only get much, much worse when they inject bodies into the situation.
Soldiers are willing to defend their country because they believe that those at the top truly have America’s best interests as their priority. It is very clear today that American Democracy is not even close to the top priority for MAGA. Soldiers aren’t willing to die to keep the Trump Epstein Files off the front page, especially since they’ll be taking orders from traitors who have already demonstrated that they are virtuosically incompetent.
Guess it will depend if Israel tells him to.
Well he isn’t going to drop the bombs himself. The people who carry out his genocidal orders will be just as guilty as him
OpEd framed as news then?
TACOOOO TUUUUEEEEESSSDAAAAAY
