Fuck every single person that voted for this doofus rapist shit head. Furthermore, fuck every registered voter that decided to sit this one out because, "reasons". Our country alone arguably deserves the fallout this coward shitstain will stir up, the rest of the world absolutely does not.
I really thought his handling of the covid pandemic (among everything else) would have been a wakeup call to Americans that he is beyond dumb as fuck. He clearly and plainly fucked it every single step of the way. I have since tempered my expectations of my fellow countrymen. Apathy, racism, ignorance and incuriosity will doom this institution.
I lost faith in my fellow Americans the day we elected the fuckstick the first time.
Same here. I gained a little back when we rejected his ass last time but after the ensuing bullshit from conservatives during Biden's term, lost it again. I had a feeling trump would win. It's sad but I'm just gonna try and keep my hopes low for the us from now on. I think we will never be anywhere near the top on any front ever again and this is the point the decline is starting to hit hard

Blaming voters is always a losing strategy… might make you feel better in the short term though, but only further stops you from getting voters to learn grow and come over to your side, whatever that side is…

God fucking dammit.
You fucking idiot motherfucking rapist orange shithead. And your ketamine boy.
Don't forget the arse-linking, couch fucking lackey.
If only we all could.
The Toddler-in-chief hoping that daddy Putin will pat him on the head and tell him what a good boy he is.
Why is it easier for you to believe some story about Trump being controlled by Russia, than to trust the evidence of your own eyes and ears, that Trump is cunt in his own right, and he’s backed bunch American billionaires, who are also cunts ?
Because we have evidence from before Trump was on the political stage that he might be a Russian agent. This has been a topic since the 1980s.
This is something that actually predates his presidential runs.
Yes - I don’t necessarily disagree. Trump is a sleaze bag and would certainly have been a target . And dare I say a fairly soft one.
It’s not ridiculous to imagine him being comprised, but I do prefer what we know ie. He’s a sleaze bag, easily controlled by the psychopaths who recognised him as the man they could a) get into power b) control with the ease that people are attributing to Putin.
Those psychopaths being Mercer, Mellon, Thiel, Musk, and even the Kochs I think.
And I don’t think those guys would do what they have done with Trump , if he was a Russia asset.
And I don’t think those guys would do what they have done with Trump , if he was a Russia asset.
Why? They're American Oligarchs. They've effectively recreated the economic systems in Russia, except they have the actual power, because Trump is an idiot and incapable of strategic planning unlike Putin. So while Putin is able to maintain control on his own, Trump is instead controlled by everyone around him. Exactly as the Republican party has been saying about everyone else for years, because everything they say is projection. If they constantly claim their enemies are doing the same thing without any evidence, they convince the mainstream public that doesn't have the time, education, or desire to think critically about politics, that it doesn't actually matter when it comes out that they're doing it, because "The Dems have been doing it all along".

I was worried there for a second lol.
It could also be both; Trump has ties to Russia and there have been open statements by Russian officials about Trump; specifically Patrushev saying
"The election campaign is over. To achieve success in the election, Donald Trump relied on certain forces to which he has corresponding obligations. As a responsible person, he will be obliged to fulfill them."
Interesting to read, but on the balance of probability, I think it’s unlikely. Of course, anything is possible and, it’s plausible that global elite conspire for profit - but I just think it’s a too convenient blame all this bad stuff on the president of America being a Russian asset, because it’s easy to face than the idea than America is a has always been a bully on the world stage - and Trump, lacking skill and diplomacy - is merely letting us see behind the curtain.
Russia, if you're listening, go fuck yourself.
It would be awfully convenient that Russians are openly speaking on what Trump does and does not owe to them without some kind of motive; whether or not it's a separate "plot" or similar one I guess is up for debate though. I would have 0 issue believing that money is flowing through Russia as well. When you have billions, there aren't too many restrictions on what you can and can't do.
Because there is very little to be gained by those American billionaires in this issue, so why would he pull this insane stunt? There is a lot to be gained by Russia, though. There is also the constant stream of verbal praise Trump has for Putin that he doesn't show for any other person except maybe Musk (who is the richest person on the planet).
If you systematically ask "who benefits?" for every single political thing Trump has done, the most consistent answer has always been "Russia." Trump does things that act against Russia's interests even more rarely than he does things that act against his own interests.

What the fuck are you on about?
For the record, I do think that Putin manipulates Trump, and pretty brazenly at that, but I don't think that he controls him. Trump's ego is far too bloated for that.
I meant pretty much exactly what my metaphor implies - Trump is weak and insecure and desperate for affirmation, and he idolizes Putin, so he wants his approval.
AND Trump is also greedy and self-absorbed and trying to please his greedy and self-absorbed cronies and patrons - that's painfully obviously why he's trying to swing this mineral rights deal alongside trying to effectively hand Ukraine to Putin.
It's possible for more than one thing to be true at the same time.
I don’t think that he controls him. Trump’s ego is far too bloated for that.
A bloated ego makes a person easier to control, not harder.

Krasnov Trump
Por Que No Los Dos?
Trump is a Russian asset. We knew this 8 years ago, and we know it today.
he has been one for decades, all the way before the collapse of the ussr, they saw how useful he was to launder money.
The Orange Turd is a traitor just like the people who voted for him.
This was the plan from the beginning. Krasnov and co just needed an nice stage to humiliate him and use it for "reason" to revoke this. Traitor in chief. Utterly disgusting
Please help me understand, Why is it easier for you to prefer some story about Trump being controlled by Russia and ignore the evidence othat Trump is cunt in his own right, and he’s backed bunch of American billionaires, who are also cunts, which is all well documented ?
It’s driving me crazy . I don’t understand.
Why are you trying to imply that Trump's allegiance with Russia is anything other than voluntary? Trump is a cunt in his own right, and part of that cunt-hood is that he's a fanboi of Putin and just flat-out likes Russia better than he does Europe.
Well, fanboy yes ! But that’s very different from being under control.
It is known that Trump is not an ideologue . He just likes money and power, which Putin has achieved in spades .
There's a saying that goes "you can't rape the willing." Frankly, I think you and the other guy you were arguing with are both right: from Russia's perspective, Trump is a patsy and an asset. From Trump's perspective, Russia is a valued friend and ally.
At least one of his billionairs seems to be also a Russian asset. I mean you really think that Putin is not playing the cords here? Their army may be a paper tiger (although quantity is also a quality). But what Russia and in the past the Soviet Union are masters at is psychops., information warfare and intimidation and estortion. And above all Russia has a mobster style ruling. Basically what you see now in the US.

Russia must be celebrating; USAID was a key pillar in Ukraine’s resilience.
🐱🐱
Trump just wants peace. He wants the killing to stop. And he wants to cut life-saving aid to impoverished countries. And Medicaid.
And he wants Canada and Panama and Greenland and if Europe doesn't do everything he says he wants it to be vulnerable to Russian attack. He's a man of peace.
isn’t this the effect of cutting such funds in late January?
Hi, sorry. I'm new here, what does your rainbow pentagon thing next to your name mean? Cheers.
