And I will not relent upon my statements of fact that Trump is an asshole, pedophile, fascist, lying, narcissistic cuck until he is impeached or dies. See how likely it is for me to stop saying these things?

[–] WrenFeathers@lemmy.world 1 points 20 minutes ago

NEVER stop saying those things. Make sure history does not forget what he was.

Who ever would have guessed that a serial rapist wouldn't take, "No", for an answer?

No means yes, no.

Yeah he's not considering consent of people in other countries at all.

If he invades Canada we’ll make Vietnam look like a cakewalk.

We look like you. We speak your language. We consume your media. You’re going to fight an enemy who looks, acts, and is just as technologically advanced as you. Fighting insurgents who had nothing in common with you was already challenging enough, now imagine not knowing who is who

There are also like 1 million of us within their borders.

Other than the consequences that would happen as a result, it'd be hilarious if Canada ended up doing a, I think we call them, "preemptive targeted use of force against specific individuals determined to pose an active threat to national security".

How fucked is it if another country, historically our closest ally, assassinated our president so many of us would just be like "yeah, makes sense".

Well, the best place for the stiff is a pine box 1.8m below grade

Nah, shallow grave. Not worth the effort of a proper burial.

Why does Trump want the US to be great again? 🤔 It seems like the US can’t be great and humble anymore under the Trump administration. 🤷‍♂️

"Make America Great Again" has always been a slogan for making rich Americans richer while poor Americans are distracted by the culture war.

This might sound weird, but I honestly think there's now an opportunity for the Left to take the slogan as their own. There could be blue MAGA hats instead of red ones, acknowledging that America has truly fallen and needs to be resuscitated.
