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.

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.

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 10 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

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.

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.

Don't presuppose my embarrassment. I have been embarrassed for as long as I can remember.

He's a bully who thinks it's morally wrong for targets to not just lie there and take the beating, waiting for death.

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."

I will weep tears of joy when Trump dies and make it my life's goal to piss on his grave. I have never hated anyone or anything so passionately.

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.

[–] Coolbeanschilly@lemmy.ca 31 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Didn't Russia use this tactic to annex part of Georgia's territory back in 2008?

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 20 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago) (1 children)

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.

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.

[–] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 11 points 4 weeks ago

I don't know about the nuclear warheads, but I absolutely believe everything else.

[–] sumguyonline@lemmy.world 21 points 4 weeks ago

Russia literally started it when they invaded the first time. Trump would lose his mind if we lost even the tip of Florida to mexico... Seems inane to me, don't make shit up that's obviously a lie. Tell it like it is he thinks "Ukraine would be better under a united Russian federation." That's it. That's what Putin wants. For a tiny man Putin sure has swung a big metal dick around. Genuinely wonder what would happen now that he's old, if one of the younger, stronger, physically better, nation leaders wooped his ass in a meeting, like, tazed him, took any poison you know the bastard is carrying. Let him recover. Then woop the ever loving piss out of the ol vinegar bucket. Make him cry uncle and don't stop until he does. Sure he's a little man with a little sensitive ego, who would start a war for such an encroachment, but what would happen if you just kept woopin until he pleaded, and swore no wars would take place? I bet he would keep to his word if you brought him to tears, he's never been wooped like that really, no scars to show like John McCain had from actually being hurt, and Putin's had spy training so at least some level of training against torture, so crying would likely be about the point you shatter his rotator cuff in an arm bar while belittling him for being so weak... But if not you just start grabbing parts of his body and bending it the wrong direction until the job is done, he claims "he's old and fell down the stairs" like Mitch McConnel keeps doing, and the public moves on. I'm just sayins all, he's an old constipated bitch, your belly shouldnt distend like that if you aren't fat, and you definitely don't have abs if your belly distends like that... So poop. Half his weight in pure, backed up, shit. I bet most teenagers could probably take him in a fair fight. Maybe if the poverty rate in Russia wasn't so high he could have gotten Ukraine to rejoin on their own for the merits it included, but looks to me like Russia wanted the mineral rights that trump tried to trade for.
