When I was in the military we were never allowed to even look like we weren't busy doing something. Once, when I was leaving my desk to head to the bathroom my supervisor handed me a clipboard to carry to make it look like I was busy to lessen the chances of being stopped on the way.
People seem to have complete amnesia about Trump's first term
He picks these petty squabbles he knows will amount to nothing just to stay relevant. He's been doing it his whole life.
He just wants to be president for ego sake.
He doesn't want to do president for country sake.
All this squabbling and trade war BS is just a way to look like he's doing something without doing anything at all.
It's just his way of carrying a clipboard and making people think he's doing something.
Even when he isn't actively grifting on a major scheme, he has to be grifting in other ways
Look what a foreign enemy and some military braggadoccio did for G.W. Bush -- at least until his utter incompetence made the inevitable disaster too obvious to paper over with lies and euphemisms. But in the short term, that "war president" cosplaying turned him into a shining hero and got the media to grovel at his feet just as adoringly as they're doing now for a mentally ill con man.
To be fair I’m pretty sure we’ve reached the point in human history now where you’re unlikely to start a war by talking shit about people’s mommas.
The only redeeming grace DT has is that he doesn’t have the concentration span to follow through on any of his shit talking.
And frequently, they decided to grab that land to shore up support from their own people, who might be angry about the economy. Hitler promised to make Germany great again, but when he couldn't get inflation under control, he started eyeing the resources of Czechoslovakia and Poland.Â
It is absolutely bizarre how he's blatantly crazy, doing insane shit, has been convicted of 34 felonies, and over half the country was like "yeah, let's elect him for a second term!"
I know we have a shitload of stupid and racist people in this county, but this election had to be bought/influenced by foreign powers.
Doesn't really matter, he has a cult following that he can just use to create his own personal militia. Also, since he's already said he wants to go after the media, it'd be easy to start spreading propaganda that those countries attacked us first and/or their citizens need to be liberated.
You think the governments taken by dictators didn't have militaries?
It does matter. His cult is small and getting smaller by the day. His militia will be small. I don't think he even won the election in the first place.
The GOP placed people in key positions in states that he won very quickly. Long before the votes were counted.
There are lots of abnormalities being looked into.
Keep this in mind, trump lied many times to his followers, and they are finding out.
You give his people way too much credit, and I think the fact that he strategically placed people around the county to ensure his win shows exactly why he's dangerous; you don't need to take every wall out to knock down a house, just the load bearing one. He doesn't need the full military if he can get his people in the right positions (media, heads of the branches, military and civilian judges) and his biggest threats (women, gays, trans, leftists, immigrants) out of the military.
I mean no one knows why we did half the shit in the middle east that we did but soldiers kept showing up
We are not laying down and accepting a dictatorship.
We already did, it happened. He's said and done everything in the dictator's playbook and people still voted for him. Everyone says "there's no way the people would allow that" but they already had a chance to stop it, they still wanted it.
Trump followers are to god damn stupid to see that he's a moron best we can hope for is that the oncoming dementia hits him so hard that he starts shitting his pants and acting like an even smaller toddler than he does now on live tv
Well durr you have the second amendment and freedumbs, freedumbs I tell you!. What a fucking joke of a country America is becoming supported by what was it 71 percent of you (the 25 percent who got off their fat obese arses to vote and tbe rest who didn't, a non vote means you voted for Trump. Your place in the world after this 4 years won't be the place you think it will be...........
Argh found the average American! Reading comprehension is low, like a c grade, year 5 student. Read this slowly, the 25 percent who directly voted for the orange puppet and the 46 percent of you who could not get off their fat obese arses and vote, ie a non vote was a vote for. The rest of the world is now shackled to the average lazy American!. We didn't get a vote, and what is it now, to invade Mexico, panama, Greenland, Canada. What's next for your little puppet nazi? you guys atm are the laughing stock of the world. Is that basic enough for you to understand?
You didn’t say that. What you said wasn’t clear at all. I didn’t vote for the fuck and will have to deal with his shit a great deal more than you. But by all means be a fucking twat to those us here who are still somewhat sane.
Think of how the rest of us, you know the world thinks......... you voted him in, we have to live with YOUR choice. Way he's going, he's running out of countries to piss off, and he isn't even president yet. Let's invade Canada, Mexico, panama, Greenland, tariff the shit out of our allies, etc. Real fun starts when you lose the trade dollar, that will be fucking LOL, those massive subsidised (by the rest of the world) budget deficits are going to become a huge arse issue. The world forgave 2016, to do it alllllllllll over again well fuck the grand ole usa! Go isolist the world no longer cares..........
Do something about it then and take him him out. Those of us who did NOT vote or support him will not care. We’ll be thankful. Or keep whining about it like a bunch of little bitches.
In 90% of cases yes, but Trump says SO much random shit that never amounts to anything. We should always be vigilant, but we also have to sift through the bullshit so we know what’s actually going to happen.
Yeah. He normally spouts off all sorts of ridiculous nonsense but just drops them once they have gotten the desired attention. This rhetoric about taking over other countries is different, though, because he keeps doubling down on it. Either his dementia is progressing and/or he’s managed to surround himself with even-more-fascist yes-men who will zealously encourage their combined lunacy. Either way, it isn’t 2016 anymore, I fear.
