Just some North Korea shit, nothing to see here. Move along.
The USA is extremely lucky that Trump is 79 years old. Imagine if he were 40. By the time he turned 79, they would be living in a totalitarian dictatorship. The luck is that they will suffer for another 6-7 years. Yes, Trump will have a third term, in three years there will be no free media or independent judiciary. The public administration will be turned into mindless voters. All critics will suffer the fate of the oppositionists in Russia and will become “allergic to windows”. Forget about democracy. Land of the bigots and the home of the bully.
Trump has been called a super ager by some people. That means despite a highly unhealthy lifestyle he has managed to remain active and functional despite all else.
Don’t think he could just drop dead tomorrow. While I am sure millions of people would like it if he died suddenly of a heart attack or stroke, that probably isn’t going to happen. Kissenger lived to be 100 despite not being much of a healthy looking guy for decades, and his slurring speech patterns were widely mocked as early as the 90s. I am not sure if anyone who wrote his Freakazoid appearance in the 90s ever thought he would live as long as he did.
What I am ultimately saying is that he might make it to 90 and still keep going.
Please, this isn’t the kind of information I wanted today. I eat one mcdouble and feel cardiac arrest behind me and this guy can eat them on the daily
I am very sorry about that, and it fucking sucks. Although one thing I find funny (in a bitter manner) is how Alex Jones once said that the elites of the world don’t eat the same food as we do on a fundamental level. He was invoking a Stalinesque form of paranoia (Stalin really did have special farms for him personally that were staffed entirely by NKVD members), but what Trump is doing should have fundamentally laid that to rest. He is a garbage eater but still survives. Inactive, and with a foul temper that would have raised anyone’s blood pressure levels to dangerous levels but he still just lives.
I remember that. Fuck me. Goddamn vampires.
He can (and has) done plenty of permanent damage. I don’t think age is doing us as many favors as you think. He can put us in the exact same position in 4 years a younger dictator would.
The only difference is whether or not the US can recover some actual semblance of the democracy it once was. The world is already turning away from us and I sincerely doubt we’ll be welcomed back should trump no longer be president. They forgave us his first term, but the second term with him openly threatening other countries is a line that cannot be uncrossed. With us being held at arm’s length it will be all but impossible to recover our position in the world as well as mend our democracy.
And In the end it’s not really on him alone, there are far too many of us who WANT to be isolated and aggressive because they’ve been brainwashed into thinking were untouchable, despite the fact that “America’s become weak thanks to all the gays and feelings” and “kids these days never worked a real job”. The double think is insanity
The reputation that America lost is gone for good. It will take a colossal effort and time, and these people who caused the problems are not going anywhere. They will continue to cause problems and oppose any solution no matter what.
Conservatives ruin everything.
I wish they were actual conservatives, not fascists and grifters.
My hope is, if we can win and put the maga cult out of its misery, we can change this country significantly so nothing like this happens again. Then, and only then, can we begin to rebuild some trust.
How long before he is wearing medals he’s given himself?
Oh fuck me book marking this comment for later.
#1: “2025 Stock Market Campaign”
No need to insult and compare NK to that pathetic banana republic
welp, he achieved the full definition of fascist dictator with that one now.
all dictators like to parade, nothing new. wake up us. time to impeach that orange shit!
LOL you definitely were going to get him in jail 4 years ago.
It was ridiculous back then and now even more.
If only they would’ve called to impeach Hitler, history would’ve been different.
What a bunch of weak pussies americans are.
The article says “A source in the capital told the Washington City Paper that Trump has earmarked June 14—which is the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army—for the event.”
He can stand on a podium and wave like the Soviet leaders of old.
I yearn for that one M1 Abrams in a column of them to focus its turret on the tribune as it passes.
No money for scientific research but plenty for parades
Sometimes you have to cut school lunches to tackle the important problems
Which miles will the protests be stationed on?
Vive « Papa Trump », héros national et président à vie !
If only Trump’s core supporting demographic were educated enough to both get the reference and the joke…
It would be cool if no one went. Just him, Musk, and some right wing drifters on empty streets.
It be cool if the protests were so big they had to cancel the parade route
Eggs would be really handy right there.
Marbles released onto the path
that gives him opportunity to use the tanks. :\
The people in the tanks needs to agree with him then ;)
Military personnel sell their morals to the highest bidder. They listen to the orders of their higher ups and hide behind the narrative that: “I’m just following orders” / “I don’t make the rules”.
Everybody knows the narrative is “I’m just following orders”
Sorry yea, that’s the one
Every so often you do get a few who are unwilling to run pwotover in tanks, or launch the nuclear missiles
As much crap is is going on in the world right now, the US military still has some scruples. They don’t just blindly follow Trump’s orders. And especially wouldn’t just fire into their countrymen. Trump hasn’t managed to take over every institution yet. Especially the military.
Service members know how to complain and think for themselves. And if something doesn’t seem right, they will clarify the heck out of it and push back. It’s not the Russian military
Yet they will gladly shoot up farmers and whole villages in the middle east because their institution and higher ups say so as they continue to blindly believe the “we bring democracy” narrative.
If you are military in the information age, you are willfully ignorant.
That doesn’t really have much to do with domestic stuff. I mean, every military does fucked up stuff, but at the end of the day, they’re made of people and have their families. Even myself.
As a service member, I educated myself on tactics, philosophy, diplomacy, economics, culture, mental health, geography, and many other topics to understand how and why military force is used. I know it’s not for democracy à la Helldivers. It’s used to keep the trade going and to conduct politics through harder power.
You might be an isolationist and that’s fine. But don’t insult the intelligence of myself who dealt with all sorts of philosophical dilemma and educated herself and others around her
Small pene energy.
Full stop.
You are just insulting other people’s bodies using this type of response instead of attacking all the things Trump is actually doing wrong.
You’re right. I should only make jokes that satisfy your personal sensibilities.

I appreciate your feedback and I hope you have a pleasant evening. Thank you.
You’re part of the problem. So either Russia is paying you or you’re just kind of a dick
Thank you for your opinion. You are a distinguished gentleman and I hope you have a nice afternoon. Cheers.
Donald goes rogue.
hope he rides in that ol 1961 Lincoln Continental 4-door convertible “X-100”
ik the cia prolly still has one in storage.
edit:1*961
A specially modified Swasticar would suffice.
He should show the world he is brave to travel in an open top car so his adoring fans can see him.

Let’s make a four mile parade of people holding “fuck you, fascist” signs, instead.
FOAD in nice big letters.
That’s an interesting strategy question. Would it be more effective to not show up, knowing there will be swarms of magats anyway, or to create a huge protest? At what point does lack of an audience trump a protesting audience, and what will they claim for attendance?
Or what happened at Anwar Sadat’s military parade…
why show up?
Horrible as this whole thing is, this could be an amazing time for a protest. You know he’ll be paying attention here.
It really would be an opportunity for some next-level trolling
