Trump's Second Term

[Blue Mountain]

This appeared in my Bluesky feed today. The post has gathered over a thousand comments. Bluesky users aren't really noted for their skepticism, but at the same time after a quick check of the comments I didn't see anyone claiming it's fake.

This is an actual exchange from a VP who took an oath to defend the constitution and, as a citizen, is expected to abide by the law.

May we one day have accountability for the grotesque lawlessness of this regime.

Killing cartel members who poison our fellow citizens is the highest and best use of our military.

Killing the citizens of another nation who are civilians without any due process is called a war crime.

I don’t give a ◊◊◊◊ what you call it

Why should the people of Illinois not see this as an illegal invasion by enemy forces?

We know something like +/- 40% of the voting public will cheer it on, and the rest of us . . . well, we shouldn't show our hands.

 

[Resume]

A giant segment of the U.S. voting public doesn't give a ◊◊◊◊ either. This ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊ corrupt regime is turning the U.S. into a rogue state.

very major gun-rights group has come out against the idea of the DOJ trying to strip trans people of their gun rights.
GOA, SAF, FPC NAGR, and CCRKBA all oppose it.

Ditto Liberal Gun Club.

EU paying him $950 billion now!
It's gone up.

Trump: “The European Union respects us. Look, they’re paying us $950 billion.”

Next week Trump will say $950 trillion.

Next week Trump will say $950 trillion.

Two weeks he'll say $950 zillion.

Assuming there's some basis in fact for this figure, what might this be ?

From what I can gather, EU based companies have committed to investing $600bn up to 2028.

Trump: You know we solved seven wars. We had one that was supposed to be easy but it turned out to be difficult. Seven are done. They were supposed to be difficult to solve. I solved everyone of 'em.

So we're talking about two countries that elected chief executives who intentionally dedicated the best part of their lives to mastering subjects that have nothing to do with governing a country. At least Trump is doing what he does best. These other leaders are doing something else entirely.

He can just say "You can't do that"

Trump on EU fining American Companies: “I can just say you can’t do that. They respect us now. European union respects us. They're paying us $950 billion.”

Do tell . . . no really, tell us which ones and how you did it.

Idiot.

My Finnish friend is insisting that "it's just the regular pendulum effect of American poltics." And he says "you Democrats are to blame for Trump."

He's going to wipe people out in Portland!

Reporter: On National Guard, have you decided which city you want to go into next?

Trump: I'm not going to say it now but yeah, I have. Portland is unbelievable what's going on. We’ll be able to stop that. These are paid agitators—we’re going to wipe them out

. At least Trump is doing what he does best.

Lying, cheating, stealing things, breaking things, doing stupid things . . .

These other leaders are doing something else entirely.

Yes, governing like rational human beings.

JFC, what a cult.

Bankrupting the thing he's in charge of is the thing he does best.

Oh come on, conomics? Why would you need knowledge in that to run a country?

eta, actually their post highlights the anti-intellectualism in American society. Got a college or uni education? You're less qualified than a man of the people who worked at a farm, drove a forklift at a warehouse, and then got to be a bookkeeper at his uncle business.
