I fuckin’ hate this guy.
One day, we WILL wake up to his obituary.
It’s the reason I refresh my feed so often.
Or he’ll wake up to mine and tens of millions more…
I felt a genuine modicum of relief at the thought.
Thanks for shining a light in these dark days
I hope to be this lucky.

I just can’t anymore. Sorry guys, I’ve been too sick and can no longer cope.
I pop in once a week so I can say, aloud: ‘Jesus fuck this bastard.’
So here’s my weekly ablution. Dog help us all.
Take a minute away from this shit for your own mental health. We’ll still be here yelling about this fucking dickhead when you return.
After all, we’ve always been at war with Eastasia…
The Ministry of Truth can’t be wrong.
They’ve already started their Newspeak.
It’s honestly uncanny. Not the similarities, but that one of the most commonly assigned books in the public school system is so blatantly disregarded.
Well, most people just remember it as the book where the government watches you, but that’s a very minor part of it. I’m guessing the parts that are remembered/forgotten are on purpose.
it also gets entirely framed as being about the dangers of socialism when really it’s about how fascism adopts the imagery of socialism to do what it does
Russasia has always been our ally.
How crazy that Americans aren’t embarrassed by this deadly lie.
Nope, I’m incredibly embarrassed and scared
Please consider becoming organized in your local communities, they will be essential in the coming months, and it is the most powerful act we can do to resist.
Woah now, organising within our local communities? that sure sounds like red commie talk - some guy, probably
Shameless plug: !Civic_Engagement@sopuli.xyz
What are you going to do about it?
Edited to add, apparently this was an unpopular question.
Like most people anywhere in the world, he’s going to probably continue to be embarrassed and scared.
Fucking nothing. We all know the answer.

Projection and insecurity often make people lash out.
i hope that’s not it. i’m learning from my ukrainian and georgian sisters and working to mitigate the harm our president is doing. many of us here in the states are organizing and preparing to fight for our survival and to sabotage the fascist dictators who have taken over. we aren’t everyone but we’re trying to propagandize the value of these efforts. the trouble is we’re very distinctly on our back foot given the access to violence our dictators have via the military
Don’t presuppose my embarrassment. I have been embarrassed for as long as I can remember.
nearly half, or more than half, depending on the politics of the non voters, are embarrassed by this line
Trump won votes from less than a third of registered voters. I’m certain more than half of us are outraged.

Crazy!
Or, maybe they are. And this is just an ignorant hot take.
Those of us that are embarrassed are outnumbered by the selfish idiots who could vote but didn’t and the hate-filled who believe his lies.
Without an absolute seismic shift in American media and politics or a very massive and probably vert violent revolution, the county is done for.
We are
Oh, I was plenty embarrassed the first run around. The fact that I have to do it again is just…yea.
A lot of us are …
I’m too paralyzed by fear to be embarrassed.
Many of us are.
meanwhile he is threatening allies with invasions
“let’s make a deal! you give me all your land and everything in it, and i won’t just waltz in and take it!..probably. maybe.”
We should be threatening to give Alaska to Canada rather than threatening to make Canada the 51st state.
Revisionist history much?
But what was Ukraine wearing?
Asking the real questions
Trump, who said last week that he and President Vladimir Putin spoke by phone about ending the war, has made several comments bolstering the Russian president. He said during an interview with Fox News last month that Ukraine should not have fought when it was invaded by Russia.
“When you are famous enough, they just let you do it.”
Spoken like a true rapist.
I genuinely hate this asshole with every fiber of my being and I will celebrate the day that he kicks the bucket.
I will drink so much champagne on that day.
He just had a meeting with Russia, he just listens to th last guy who spoke to him. Zero long term memory
He’s also been shown to be ridiculously susceptible to flattery and pomp, two things Moscow can provide in spades, with little cost to themselves. He also seemingly genuinely believes, that there is nothing more to politics but raw self-interest and primitive power displays, when there’s a reason your edgy teenage friend didn’t stumble upon some higher wisdom when claiming that about the world.
President Dickhead Dory
Where he’s coming from, based on what I’ve seen, is the assertion that Ukraine was in civil war before the 2022 invasion (basically true), and that the eastern separatists (who were indeed fighting Ukraine’s government) were being killed.
It’s also true that there was corruption, and some democratic backsliding, prior to the invasion (not that the US or Russia have any leg to stand on there).
The kool-aid part is that the separatists were fighting to “free” western Ukraine from the tyrannical govt, and that Russia finally invaded to save and “relieve” these noble citizens who want to be part of Russia. That everyone would vote this way if some elections weren’t suspended. This conveniently leaves out the first Russian invasion, propaganda efforts and so much more.
This is why Ukraine “started it.” They just kept attacking these rebels and forced Russia to intervene… I guess. On Putin’s side, it ties into the idea of an oppressed population yearning to be one with Russia again.
…What I am getting at is, with the MASSIVE intelligence apparatus at his disposal, Trump is guzzling this kool aid. He’s not a two faced dictator, he believes the propaganda and has swallowed the hook.
I think that is even scarier than a real “dictator.” Even if you buy into the whole “America First” philosophy (which has some merits at least), it means Trump can make monumentally bad decisions that don’t follow this mandate or even benefit him, as his view is totally warped.
Didn’t Russia use this tactic to annex part of Georgia’s territory back in 2008?
IIRC yes.
It would have worked again if the second invasion hadn’t trended so much, encouraging other countries to intervene, and if Ukraine itself hadn’t put up such a staunch, united resistance.
It also didn’t help that Crimea kept on popping up here and there too.
The alleged reason why Russia attacked was because they want a buffer zone of neutral countries around them. Apparently the US has been running its agenda pushing for Eastern European countries to join NATO knowing it’d stir some shit by ruffling Russia’s delicate feathers. So Russia panicked when Ukraine looked to join NATO at the US’s suggestion and basically used the gay panic defense but for the Western allegiance arriving in their backyard and invaded under a pretext.
Yes, the USA did ignore Russia’s concerns knowingly (and did some very questionable shit inside Ukraine, as usual) but Russia imagined the worst scenario for themselves and did the illegal shit.
Stop invading yourself, stop invading yourself.
Fuck Russia!
Putin’s puppet since Helsinki Summit.
Not only from back then. The summit was organized largely because Trump admires Putin so much.
Admiration is not the same as blackmailed.
I bet Trump will invite Putin for a state visit before the peace has been brokered. Trump will spend hundreds of millions of tax dollars to impress Putin with a ridiculous ceremony. And Trump will gift hundred nuclear warheads to Putin.
I don’t know about the nuclear warheads, but I absolutely believe everything else.
