What a dork, constantly trying to look tough.

Throwing shit on the wall to see what sticks!
Where are the Trump/Epstein files?

[–] switcheroo@lemmy.world 52 points 2 days ago (2 children)

More stupid shit to distract from WHERE ARE THE EPSTEIN FILES??? RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!

[–] JonsJava@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

I heard he hates South Park, but the really crazy thing is he is in the Epstine files.

[–] VeryVito@lemmy.ml 32 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Why? Just to waste more goddamned taxpayers’ money on signs and stationary?? Man, this idiot knows how to waste a nation.

And also… what about the Epstein/Trump files?

[–] imsufferableninja@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 days ago (3 children)

That was the original name, and accurately describes the purpose

[–] AlexLost@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's a tone shift that signifies a nation reading to expand into imperialism. No longer the defenders of peace, now the enforcers of order. Their order and no other.

[–] VeryVito@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

And it wasted more than enough money when they changed it then, too. Two wrongs don’t make a right.

Absolutely true

The primary purpose of the Department of Defense is to transfer public money to defense companies.

Hey has anyone called you Americans apathetic losers yet today?

[–] Hegar@fedia.io 23 points 2 days ago (1 children)

As someone who grew up outside the US and lives here now, I understand how incomprehensible it can be that there's not a full uprising against the current fascist coup.

It's important to remember that the no major policy outcome has reflected public opinion since the end of the civil rights era. We've had three generations that have only known oligarchy.

It's not so surprising that it's hard to convince people in the states that they can affect the affect the government - no one since boomers has.

[–] AlexLost@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

They went and pulled up the ladder there too. Boomers won't retire from government and that's why we are in this mess. They've also practically made it illegal to protest. Still holding on...

[–] BrianTheeBiscuiteer@lemmy.world 16 points 2 days ago

I'd be disappointed if you didn't.

[–] VeryVito@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 day ago

Just because our national Mascot is a pedophilic, 34-count felon with a long history of fraud, perversion and general stupidity? Or because all our other so-called leaders are fawning over him and shining his shroomdick to appease the worst and wealthiest of our society while we abandon everything we once claimed made our country great? Or because… … Sigh…

[–] JonsJava@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

Please do. We deserve it.

[–] WizardofFrobozz@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago

I certainly have. They’re also enormous cowards.

And they’re whiny and defensive about it.

[–] WaitThisIsntReddit@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Has anyone informed you that if the US goes full fascist you need to worry more than we do?

[–] AlexLost@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Hahahahahaha! The idiot in chief has gone and made you practically inept by installing paper tigers in strategic roles. Yeah you got big toys, but the American military will not survive attacking their allies without serious moral fracturing.

America hasn't experienced modern warfare on their home soil yet. Let's see how they run up against Canadian sappers in the wild? I like our odds. A man defending his home is worth a thousand hired soldiers.

[–] Honytawk@feddit.nl 1 points 1 day ago

Really doubt the rest of the world had to worry more than Germany in WW2.

Why do you think it will be different with the US?

[–] Hermit_Lailoken@lemmy.world 21 points 2 days ago

Is there anything at all he won't put his hands on? Stop bad touch.

[–] molestme247@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

Why does the department of war sound familiar? Anyone? Anyone oh yeah:

[–] ramble81@lemmy.zip 11 points 1 day ago

I seriously thought this was an Onion article

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 day ago

Where are the trump/Epstein files?

[–] Zaktor@sopuli.xyz 8 points 2 days ago

Ah, so we'll have Department of War employees occupying American cities from the opposing party.

[–] Damage@slrpnk.net 5 points 2 days ago

Eh, a striking dash of sincerity from him

Mars is ascending under this palefaced Jupiter, leader of leaders, king of kings.
