U.S. President Donald Trump seemingly discussed the idea of foreign powers taking out California’s most populated cities while delivering a speech at a Republican rally at the Pinnacle Bank Expo in Grand Island, Nebraska Monday evening.

“With the war it’s just artificial, it’s a little bit high, it’s a small price to pay for keeping the world safe, keeping our country safe. They could take out a city. Let ‘em take out Los Angeles. Let ‘em take out San Diego,” Trump said, drawing cheers from the crowd. “This is a very small price to pay and it’s going to be over very soon. It’s essentially almost over with.”
Every time I think my faith in humanity couldn’t be shaken further, I find ways to be surprised.
It’s a crowd that would actually go to a Trump rally in 2026. Don’t hinge your faith in humanity on self selected bad people.
Is anyone doing any kind of facial recognition on any of the shots of the crowds that get out? Any bets on how many in the crowd are part of the traveling circus?
He has enough evil fucks who fully support his attacks on the US that he doesn’t need a traveling circus.
We very much have a Nazi problem.
👨🚀🔫🧑🚀
And we always have
I dunno. I lose faith in humanity just for the fact there are still people going to his rallies
We should be tracking every person who still attends a Trump rally. They are future terrorists.
It’s easier to get through the day if you just don’t consider him a human
Him or most of his supporters
Either would do. Or both.
True, but we need to. We need to consider him human so we know exactly what we are and we have to look this shit in the face if we ever want to fix it.
I’m not sure why some palaver from a Republican event would affect your feelings about humanity - there’s no humanity involved.
He really is the Katniss Everdeen of Presidents.
Ah yes, “let them take out Los Angeles,” a city that would rank as the 19th highest GDP if it was its own country. A city that alone contributes 4+% of the USA’s economic output. Great strategy, Commander in Soiled Briefs.
Not to mention the absolute importance of Hollywood for the US status as the cultural hegemon of the West. Without US-centric entertainment, that status would never have materialized. In terms of propaganda power, there is no comparable place, not even NY comes close.
Can you imagine if Obama said ISIS could take out San Antonio?
I’ve seen far more Talarico signs than Paxton signs around here, so I feel like there are more productive cities to threaten. That being said, there are still far too many Paxton signs, so I get it.
How there are any is a wonder to me with literally everything we know of the guy
It will be hilarious if Texas votes for Talarico
I think he would stand down and let Peter Thiel’s boy take over
Every single day this sentence is valid. I’m tired boss.
Isn’t San Diego fairly conservative by California standards?
That does not matter if tbey have the wrong skin color.
And in California.
As you know, if youre a republican, California = bad.
Even though it has more Republicans than anywhere else in the nation.
If logic or reason worked on these assholes, they wouldn’t be Republicans in the first place
And has a ton of military located there
It used to be, and inland areas still are.
Inland Imperial here, we are getting better slowly but surely. Hey at least we aren’t having cross burnings like we did in the 90s, at least to my knowledge.
California has a FUCK TON of conservatives.
Not only is this traitor a traitor, he’s a traitor openly stating he’s fine with a FUCK TON of his own constituents being murdered by Iran.
Too bad his constituents are mindless cultists, or something like this might make them upset.
By California standards as an entire state? Not really, since there are some DEEP red areas in this huge state filled with tons of farms. By only cities in California standards? Yes.
Now imagine if a Dem president said this about a red area. Instant impeachment…
Ill say it. Fuck Missouri.
Yeah. I live here and this place fucking sucks. It feels like it’s literally almost 10 years behind the rest of the country, let alone the rest of the world.
“bUt It’S cHeAp To LiVe HeRe.” Not anymore.
Even iowa makes fun of Missouri. Let that sink in.
cries in Arkansas
The worst president. It’s not even close.
One of the worst humans in recorded history. No small feat.
We’re lucky he lacks the intelligence to be a real villain.
Oh he’s a villain alright just not a super villain.
My god… he really is Hal Stewart if the power of Tighten instead was being elected to the most powerful office in the world.
I just realized that the characters name may be a combination of Hal Jordan and John Stewart. Fucken love Megamind.
This is nothing more than an ego jab, considering how small his hands are he probably has very small feet as well.
This idiot doesn’t know where Iran is. He doesn’t know the world is round. He doesn’t know Mar-a-Lago is closer than California to Iran. It is literally easier to target him than it is LA.
Roughly 8000 miles from Tehran to LA. Roughly 7000 miles from Tehran to Orlando.
I will give the “however” of a missile to LA would pass over Russia, the North Pole, and middle of nowhere Canada. While a missile to Orlando would go over Europe and the Eastern seaboard. There might be an argument it is more likely that a missile completes the first journey due to flying over uncontested space.
TRAITOR
I mean, is this how treason works historically? It’s only widely accepted after the fact? Like, when you’re in it and actively experiencing it most people don’t acknowledge it?
That can’t be it. People have been executed for treason. Why the fuck are we so bad at this?
Iran is not stupid, they could take out one golf course in Florida.
The Iranians are not stupid enough to remove an idiot who is ruining the US military. That is how the Allies viewed Hitler, they knew who was fucking up Germany’s war effort.
Promise?
Isn’t it illegal to incite violence against the citizens of the USA? Especially by the “potus”? In the normal run-by-the-US Constitution world, wouldn’t that be considered treason?
Every once in a while Trump does a little treason as a treat.
Its an “official act”. These laws bind us, but dont protect us.
Isn’t it illegal
So is 34 counts of falsifying business records. Not sure why people bring up legality during a Fascist government.
You think people where saying "Franco shot my kids… that’s illegal!”?
The play pretend has ended for a while, but only now it’s reached critical mass in how many people are ignoring the rules and laws.

To paraphrase something I saw online: it’s not that he encouraged Iran to bomb California but Trump could bomb California and blame Iran for it.
Everything is projection, he posited many times that Obama would bomb Iran just in time to rile up war hawk votes. They’ve literally written down their entire fascist plan and people keep treating it all as separate fuckup news stories
US economy proceeds to collapse
No better man for the job.
this is the president sworn to defend usa soil? impeachment required and jail asking for murder and genocide of the united states citizens out in the open. holy kuf the epstein class is so delusional. besides east coast closer than west coast.
and the people that clap for the murder/genocide of millions of americans by the president in this case. what are these people. after the impeachment definitely need to investigate and jail all of these people actually not even people murders to be or already murders.
what are these people.
Traitors. Literally.
I’m with you, but this wouldn’t be genocide.
‘The most uneducated buffoon in history stands at a podium, bloated with self-importance, lips pursed like a carnival barker ready to sell turd milk to the unsuspecting. He grins a grotesque smirk stretched across his face as he scrawls his name onto a hollow decree, a sham celebration of the dismantling of knowledge itself. The Department of Education falls, not with a bang, but with wheezing verbs, suffocated under the weight of his own staggering ignorance. Surrounding him are the usual suspects: cowards in expensive suits, servile sycophants clapping like trained seals, and racist opportunistic ghouls picking clean the bones of democracy. Liars, fools, and thieves all parasites fattening themselves on the hardships of the many. They stand in rigid formation, dead-eyed and soulless, their allegiance sworn not to country, not to principle, but to power, and the dark, festering rot that clings to it. And there he is the convicted wrong, the living embodiment of septic tank spew, his voice a noxious fog of grift and grievance. He lectures the world on right and wrong, irony clawing at the walls, desperate to escape the grotesque theatre of his moral void. The stomach turns, the air curdles, and for a moment, history itself recoils watching, in horror, as the great American experiment teeters on the precipice, led by a man who couldn’t spell “precipice” if his life depended on it.’

The great American experiment is winding down. It’s been interesting to watch. TBH it didn’t last nearly as long as many historical empires, oh well.
Well, according to some of my former Christian teachers, that’s because of of the gays.
Yes, they claim that most empires average 250 years and fall when they start normalizing open homosexuality. No I don’t believe any of that crap anymore.
A more educated look showed years ago that the US system was based too much on “gentlemen’s agreements” and lacked clear and real protections for democracy and human rights.
Christians are appaling. I am a reasonable man and am certain that their holy book is an absolute heap of disgusting, slavery condoning, male infant genital mutilation demanding, repellent, demented, vicious dark age mumbo jumbo. Christians should be told quite clearly that our citizens have the legal right to criticise, lampoon, ridicule and mock god and Jesus to their heart’s content, in any way that they wish: that Christians have no special claim to protection from the rough and tumble of post-Enlightenment intellectual, political and social life. If they cannot live in a society in which this is the case, they should go somewhere else; they are, after all, spoilt for choice, at least in theory.
