Trump was going to stop a 3 days war in one day. In just not sure what planet are we using for the definition of Day

Yet spends hours a day vomiting his verbal diarrhea on his bullshit social netwrok day after day...

They hacked about until they stumbled upon the major vulnerabilities of open societies, rule of law, democracy, 24-hour newscycles and social media.

It’s that “middle ground” where Russia gets half of Ukraine’s territory and the US gets all of their mineral rights?

Molotov and Ribbentrop nod in approval.

That quote could've ended seven words earlier and been just as accurate.

That's his face, I don't recall last time I've seen a non edited version of it.

u/Stovetop@lemmy.world · 47 points

Of course he did, since his boss said it was just a 3-day special military operation to begin with. How was Trump to know there would be more to it than that?

u/Vopyr@lemmy.world · 7 points

He said a lot of things, and people ate this shit up for the second time and asked for more.

u/andallthat@lemmy.world · 2 points

and he would have done it too! If only that Biden stopped interfering and ruining the economy. /s

Oh, he was demonstrably horrible long ago

The "Central Park Five" should have disqualified him, but Americans are stupid and hateful as a society, so there is probably no depth to which they will not sink

This should have ended it

But 'Murica has no lower depth. There is nothing too disgraceful, too awful, too hateful

There is no bottom. There is no low to which you will not sink, and then go deeper

Trump wants to hurt people

He hates anyone who isn't white, and he's enthusiastic about "cleaning up the streets"

His racism is well documented and goes back a long way

Oh, and he wants to fuck his daughter

At least, the one whose name he has managed to remember...

u/FistingEnthusiast@lemmynsfw.com · 9 points

He can't

Because he's a malignant narcissist

In his mind, he has never done a single thing wrong

Anything that has gone awry is the fault of someone else

He's a toddler in the body of a sad, fat old rapist

There's an old cartoon that sums up Trump in my mind. Man is being lead to the gallows. Dozens of cops are holding back the crowd that wants to tear him apart. "Oh, all right. I'll apologize."

No matter what happens to him, he'll never admit that he did anything wrong.

u/FistingEnthusiast@lemmynsfw.com · 18 points

Oh yeah

Putin has a hold on him because Trump wants to be "manly" like him

Nothing more

He is a bully, and the only thing that inspires a bully is a bigger bully

It's lost on him that Putin holds him in the same contempt that he himself holds those who he has bullied into submission

Because he's fucking stupid.

He is probably the most stupid person in politics at a global scale, but he is useful to those who actually tug on the strings of power, and he appeals to enough stupid yanks (and there's no shortage of stupidity in 'Murica...) with his hate and bluster to be effective

I hope that he gets a taste of the harm he has done throughout his life

All of it.

I think it's really weird that people think Trump is being blackmailed rather than he's just an autocrat who supports other dictators.

u/Dagwood222@lemm.ee · 11 points

Everyone thinks that the kompromat Putin has is something like Trump getting fisted or a golden shower party.

I like to think it's Trump weeping about how his daddy never loved him, or something else that no one but a psychopath would be ashamed of.

u/grue@lemmy.world · 8 points

Because Putin still has Trump bent over because he has incriminating shit on him, and he also lets Trump think he has a seat at the grown-up’s table

Stop. Giving. Trump. So. Much. Credit.

I'm not saying Putin doesn't have kompromat on Trump. Hell, he probably does! But it doesn't fucking matter because ***Trump is so inherently irredeemably evil all on his own*** that he'd be doing exactly the same shit anyway!

By suggesting that Trump was coerced you are whitewashing Trump's evil. Stop it!

Nah, he doesn't need to blackmail HitlerPig, he just needs to pay him. HitlerPig would rape and murder his own mother for a million bucks. Imagine what he would do if Putin offered him a billion dollars? Putin could easily do that, and it would be the best billion dollars Russia ever spent.

VP guyliner says that the US administration is now facing the question of how to help Russia and Ukraine "find some middle ground here"

It's that "middle ground" where Russia gets half of Ukraine's territory and the US gets all of their mineral rights?

u/melsaskca@lemmy.ca · 45 points

I still don't get why the media is covering this guy and his questionable statements. I'm starting to think the media is somewhat complicit in shaping the new world order dystopia.

u/perestroika@lemm.ee · 30 points

I'm tempted to comment his statement with "yes, captain Obvious".

It could have only ended if they had: a) not obstructed Biden, b) fully backed the measures Biden took, c) continued with measures of their own of equal weight, and d) threatened to double down with more measures really soon.

Instead, they set up their "art of the deal" clown and pony show (where an angry clown fails to jump over a beaten down pony).

So far, Putin has taken it as confirmation and encouragement. If they grow up super fast (yea, sure they will...) this might still be possible to change.

But realistically, I think they won't grow up - this is more likely just a brief flash of partial sanity. At this stage, other people will have to do the job while the US provides a steady supply of tragic humor.

u/FistingEnthusiast@lemmynsfw.com · 17 points

Yeah,

Because Putin still has Trump bent over because he has incriminating shit on him, and he also lets Trump think he has a seat at the grown-up's table

Trump wants to be Putin. Putin will always have Trump in his pocket so long as Trump worships him, which he will always do.

James Donald Bowman is a disgrace of a human being

And I will deadname him in every thread there is.

u/medicsofanarchy@lemmy.world · 7 points

Vance also states, "It hasn't been 24 hours yet. I mean, the President is a busy guy. He only works on this a minute here, a minute there." /s

Edit: forgot the /s

This war could have been ended a few years ago had Europe/US the balls, but unfortunately.

Sometimes the only way to fuck a couch is to give half the couch away to somebody else to fuck, sometimes it is a long road to getting to fuck your couch.

It's hard to get two sides to come to an agreement on something when one side is totally irrational.

u/ozymandias117@lemmy.world · 3 points

Oh, damn. He's going against Trump's statements here, so Trump is certainly asking someone to google how he can fire the VP.

Could lead for some funny interactions soon

Einstein was right, time really is relative, when 24 hours suddenly becomes 4 months and counting.
