Edit:
Forgot a special someone
Oh, but he does, the scale of the US and the interconnectedness of the world mean that he fucks over people around the globe, to varying degrees.
Which in turn... fucks over americans
The goal should be to fuck over no one, and when someone is getting the short end of the stick do to things you can't prevent, to dampen the blow as much as possible assist them in other ways. That means if a country is getting exploited for cheaper labor during a current era, we should be pushing other protections and conveniences that can hopefully help to dampen the blow.
Sorry, I would fuck over dictators in a heartbeat.
At least I think I would. Maybe not a great statesmen.
That can directly enable more dictatorship. Giving them fuel that is easy to make into believable propoganda to push on their people to validate lashing back out at other people. No one will hesitate or have reason to care about the American populous getting shit on do to the choices made by these administrations. Their decisions directly screw us over. If everyone is tripping each other and dragging each other down we just progress slower. The reason people starve is do to others being greedy.
Because that's the currency he's trading on.
You understand that, right?
He's spending our goodwill and good name (what little of it we've managed to cultivate the last 80 years is largely around stability of trade, which he has royally fucked up) to enrich himself and earn personal favors for himself.
He's diving deep into all of our political capital, emotional, and good credit bank accounts and spending it a million to one to get himself stupid shit like this "Palace Jet". He's trading against our country's reputation. Selling it at a huge discount to anyone who will give him what he wants in the moment.
~~What did I say that makes you think I don't understand he's only in this for himself. That was the whole implication....~~
Sorry, I meant "you" as in the royal "you", like anyone reading this meme. I didn't mean it directed at you directly :)
I strike my comment from the record =) sorry.
No worries! My fault for not being more clear :)
Why? You guys elected the guy twice, so it's only fair that you get fu ked over.
As an American who didn't vote for Trump, this is fair. This electorate and country is getting everything it deserves.
I tried to sing this in the tune of wouldn't it be good by the beach boys
I mean he's fucking over allies too.
Not the autocrats though because that's the only kind of person he respects and admires.
trump is the laziest colonizer ever. trump colonized his own country.
I know you're joking, but this is an unironic theory of what fascism is. It's called the Imperial Boomerang
And then one fine day the bourgeoisie is awakened by a terrific boomerang effect: the gestapos are busy, the prisons fill up, the torturers standing around the racks invent, refine, discuss. People are surprised, they become indignant. They say: "How strange! But never mind—it's Nazism, it will pass!" And they wait, and they hope; and they hide the truth from themselves, that it is barbarism, the supreme barbarism, the crowning barbarism that sums up all the daily barbarisms; that it is Nazism, yes, but that before they were its victims, they were its accomplices; they tolerated that Nazism before it was inflicted on them, they absolved it, shut their eyes to it, legitimized it, because, until then, it had been applied only to non-European peoples; that they have cultivated that Nazism, that they are responsible for it, and that before engulfing the whole edifice of Western, Christian civilization in its reddened waters, it oozes, seeps, and trickles from every crack.
— Aimé Césaire, Discourse on Colonialism (1950)
No, it wouldn’t. Fucking people over isn’t nice.
I mean, the guys only good at one thing. It would be nice if we weren't the one getting it in the ass, you know, since we elected him. Nicer still if he dropped dead.
Which specific things have gotten worse for you? I have massive issues with some of his policies, but I haven't had any negative effects on a personal level... so far
... dude rights are being stripped it doesn't matter any more if my day to day is the same. Your brain has rotted this far? Jesus.
"The only rights that matter are my rights."
You're putting words in my mouth. You're the one who said you're getting it in the ass. I was just asking how. I'll ask again.
People. Are. Having. Their. Rights. Taken . Away.
What specific rights are you referring to?
You're so dishonest. You know exactly what I'm talking about but here you are trying to obfuscate for fascists.
I hate you.
You don't really understand my position, but I haven't really made statements, I asked questions. My politics are entirely anti-authoritarian, and I believe in constitutional rights. So I'm not at all happy about what is being done without due process.
But, your original statement was that the ones who elected him were the ones getting it in the ass. The people being deported without due process were not the ones who elected him, they're non-citizens. It doesn't make it right.
I'm of the opinion that our constitutional rights have been being eroded for generations under both parties leadership. I was trying to understand what rights citizens have lost already in this term.
An infringement on someone else's rights is an infringement on your rights. I'd lose my mind trying to get through to you.
And I'm seeing the Fourth amendment as essentially already dead for all of us among a million other smaller papercuts. I agree with you overall but questioned your original language.
Trump doing international casting couch.
I wouldn't touch the couch, and for the love of god don't look between the cushions
JD is that you stuck to the cushion?
So, about that
Why? Popcorn scarcity?
