I never thought I’d see somebody dumber than George W Bush in office. This country is going through some very sad, stupid, and dangerous times right now. Pls send help.

[–] MJKee9@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

GWB was not dumb. I believe he's actually a smart man...he just had no empathy for anyone who wasn't level with his socioeconomic status. DJT also is without empathy, but also possesses a deep hatred for anyone who isn't one of his pals. An active deep hatred that GWB never had... Or at least never displayed.

[–] lefaucet@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 day ago

Yeah, we misunderestimated him.

As he so wisely said, "There's an old saying in Tennessee—I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee—that says, fool me once, shame on—shame on you. Fool me—you can't get fooled again."

I did think he was a dumbass when, after it was clear Rumsfeld was driving us hard the unforgivable shitshow that was W's Iraq War he said, "I'm the decider, and I decide what is best. And what's best is for Don Rumsfeld to remain as the Secretary of Defense."

But you are right. He would drop absolute truthbombs we found so unsettling, like, "I'll be long gone before some smart person ever figures out what happened inside this Oval Office."

There was a split second where U. S. politics were funny. I remember we would laugh at whatever gaff or speech "W" had made, but then war were declaredand yeah, nothing funny about it. Pprobably never was funny, but there was a moment where I had just enough ignorange to consider it so

omg my typing sucks. Sorry, we're just at the not-hot-enough-to-turn-on-heat/but-still-too-cold-for-comfort stage of the shoulder season here.

Not a shitpost as this is actually real. :(

+1
But Shit is real, man....

I fucking guarantee he's talking about emotional depression.

[–] Ging@anarchist.nexus 57 points 3 days ago (7 children)

I'm an idiot, what is he even trying to say/convey here?

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 25 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

Trump is trying to brush off China/Xi's extremely rational trade policy response to Trump's extremely irrational trade policy decisions...

... by speaking as if this is all just a minor, temporary blunder on China's end.

Basically, peak delusion/dementia insanity from the world's most "never ever wrong about anything" man.

Trump really does need to be taken out to pasture, 25th Ammendment'd... otherwise literally millions, tens of millions of Americans will starve in basically a self-imposed Republican Holodomor.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

This is like the closest his ego will allow him to admitting he fucked up.

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 days ago

Something like that, yeah.

[–] Ging@anarchist.nexus 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Make the greater good great again!

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Yes, very bigly so!

waves hands around attempting to convey yugeness of the bigly

[–] Ging@anarchist.nexus 3 points 1 day ago

🤣🤦‍♂️

[–] Bitcrazy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 day ago

China should make a deal because somehow us not buying their cheap shit will cause their country to go into a depression instead of ours for some reason. I don’t think it makes sense. Don’t we owe -them- tons of money?

[–] captainastronaut@seattlelunarsociety.org 73 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I don’t think it’s because you are the idiot…

[–] Ging@anarchist.nexus 21 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Well THAT can't be it
j/k thanks for the reassurance😆

[–] Godort@lemmy.ca 49 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Trump said that there would be a 100% tariff increase starting in November, on top of the 30% one already in place.

China hasn't issued an official response other than "we dont want a trade war, but we aren't afraid of one"

People are legitimately worried because prices skyrocketed the last time he did this and they still haven't recovered.

[–] Ging@anarchist.nexus 11 points 2 days ago

Oof, that really bites. I was praying it was something less serious. Thanks for the info

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

THE "WEAVE', saying 9 non-sensical things at once that forms into one though that is only understable to his followers.

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago

It's actually saying 9 contradictory things and only taking credit for the good outcomes. The bad outcomes are someone else's fault.

Well Trump thinks the economy is the stock market, he doesn't seem to realise that his population actually care about the price of bread and milk.

So the economy is bad for regular people, but good for stock market investors, Trump only cares about the latter.

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I think you missed that the post is about the stock market "losing" $2t in a day.

[–] strongarm@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 10 hours ago

No, it was damage control

I've been looking for years honestly. I think they fear me like a vampire fears garlic

[–] krooklochurm@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago

I'm not convinced antifa actually exists

[–] Broadfern@lemmy.world 30 points 2 days ago (1 children)

No “thank you for your attention to this matter”? Odd

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

He can no longer pay enough attention to his own missives to remember the sign off.

This is the guy who thinks that knowing what month, day it is, how to read an analog clock, what he had for breakfast 2 days ago, ... is actually an IQ test.

Something like this:

https://www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/health/practitioner-pro/bc-guidelines/cogimp-smmse.pdf

... him passing this is what he is... confusing as an IQ test.

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

what he had for breakfast 2 days ago

I've been senile since I was born?

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

Ooh I got this one. The answer is nothing. I have not eaten breakfast regularly for years. Only if I go out hiking will I actuall eat breakfast.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 35 points 2 days ago (1 children)

This is an actual president, everybody

[–] 0_o7@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

"Elected" president

Millions of people came together and said this person should lead them.

I just heard a "historian" say them saving Nazis from facing consequences and flying them over to US was okay because they helped "humanity" after they learned "american values."

No wonder their education sucks and propaganda rules.

[–] Forester@pawb.social 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Believe it or not history isn't nice. It's brutal and transactional. I don't like Nazis. I am an anti-authoritarian. And you're a tiny little confused twat that can't comprehend the big swinging dick picture that is politics on a world stage level.

You've also conveniently taken my comment completely out of context, but I'm not surprised with your 8th grade vocabulary that you would struggle with nuance. I never said that the Nazis that were paper clipped didn't do bad things. I said we took bad people and made good use of them. But yes I am big Nazi man that's all I do is praise Nazis and thank Nazis /s I guess that's why I spend so much of my time on here. Arguing for freedom and liberty for all.

But the real kicker for me is you know if you look through my profile you will see that I routinely post things like this. https://youtu.be/WSqUBwlHld4

[–] LePoisson@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Did you respond to the wrong person?

[–] Forester@pawb.social 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

I responded to the right person. The context is in another posts thread. But they are speaking about me in their comment here

[–] LePoisson@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Oh ... That's kind of sad. Carry on then.

[–] Forester@pawb.social 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

I mean if you saw someone throwing your name in the mud and calling you a Nazi apologist while browsing a random post on another instance, would you not reply?

[–] LePoisson@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I'm not terminally online in Lemmy enough or paying close enough attention that I would ever notice that so I can't really answer that. I guess if I were thinking about it ... I don't actually care enough that I'd post some angry comment in another thread but it's your life.

You might want to consider how often you're spending your time hate commenting if that's a thing for you idk. Fuck, I mean, I almost didn't even reply to this lol

TBF, you both have valid points. 🤷🏼‍♂️
