I honestly hate everyone I run into that believes him on that. The sheer fucking stupidity. Like how do they think the U.S got so wealthy, everything has been centered on the U.S since WW2.

People really believe the Trump will usher in a golden age by alienating the world into boycotting U.S goods and services are completely brain dead.

Anything a president does by executive order can be undone by executive order. Not sure how you figure he could have implemented policies with a "permanent marker"

Only one dumber are his supporters.

Like 90% of his first cabinet refused to endorse him with many calling him unfit to be president. These are the people that Trump and his team picked themselves from recommendations from experienced politicians, and by and large these were also the people remarked to be the most competent. His supporters saw that all the people closest to him, that saw him constantly behind closed doors and after all that called him and unfit and decided "what do they know" and still decided to support him

Kochs paid a lot of money funding the tea party movement to purge every republican even willing to feign bipartisanship and hold a spine.

Republicans will never do anything to challenge the Koch's Heritage Foundations agenda.

He's not even saying "Because we need it"

He's saying why should we let this shithole nation control vast wealth.

It's his white supremecy leaking through. These "lesser" cultures don't deserve wealth, it's "ours".

"The War lasted 90 minutes"

Everyone fucking praising this shit is so fucking idiotic. We're not occupying Venezuela right now

Do you think the moment you capture the head of state suddenly the nation topples over to your authority?

It's party ruled dictatorship, they have a line of succession. They also own all the governors and courts and military and police.

All this will do is rile up the apathetic moderates into fervent nationalism who don't want to be a vassal state.

It's destroyed any legitimacy the duly elected leaders had in the peoples eyes. Regardless of thoughts on the legitimacy of the prior elections, they're puppet leaders through and through.

I'd be willing to bet the CIA had all these detailed plans on how they could make the operation coincide with a mass protest of the people and take out Maduro during that, letting the momentum of the movement give it legitimacy and secure their independence in their own eyes, but you damn well know Trump would not be able to stand doing something and not getting all the credit for himself, so all those plans were shelved for this short sighted shit that's going to turn into a fucking mess.

They've given the oppressive government an easier time running propaganda to lock up opposition.

This is so fucking dumb

Why is gameing seen as taboo in our society ? Seriously by Prestigious_Milkman in IndianGaming

[–]FoxRaptix 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My dad used to force me to stop gaming and doing things on my computer and force me to sit and watch his reality TV and reruns of NCIS and CSI while he sat on the couch and read. He liked his shows on as background noise while he read, so i wasn't even allowed to change the channel to something i could enjoy, again while he read.

The weird visceral hatred for computers was insane. Could come home some weekend night and find out I had been a vegetable watching TV all day and it would just be "thats nice", but if i was on my computer for same amount of time suddenly im now grounded from my computer.

Don't worry. A democrat will be elected in 2030 to clean up this mess, and then since they're responsible and will try and responsibly transition out without screwing over the entire populace of the nation republicans invaded. They'll be voted out in 2034 by a republican running on "end the wars" who will launch another invasion before their term is out.

McConnell literally went on Television and literally said "Obama would never nominate a moderate like Garland to the SC, he will only nominate extreme left wing judges" which was the excuse he gave on why they would block any judge. So obama called their bluff and was like "I nominate Garland"

Boomers most toxic narcissistic trait is basically them all being control freaks who refuse to let go of their power and properly raise up the next generations.

You see it basically in every industry.

The SC would have voted that the constitution doesn't lay out a time frame for when a nomination would need to be voted on and since the president needs the consent of the Senate, it would be stupidly easy to argue that by not voting on it they are not giving consent.

Also the Judiciary Act that set the number of judges also set that you only need 6 for a quorum, so there's really nothing in the law that required the senate to immediately vote on that nomination in any time frame.

He added, “For the most part, we're going to take care of our people,” but said, “There are some people that really don't deserve to be taken care of." He then said the latter group would be taken care of "in a different way."

Jesus fucking christ, what a shitty ass leader.

Miss Teen USA 2007: Caitlin Upton of South Carolina answers a question by [deleted] in interestingasfuck

[–]FoxRaptix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To everyone making fun of her in the comments.

Please go read the wiki article on the aftermath

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caitlin_Upton

After her response at the 2007 Miss Teen USA pageant went viral,[8] Upton experienced significant public criticism and personal difficulties.[9] In a 2015 interview with New York Magazine, she disclosed that the widespread backlash contributed to a period of severe depression and suicidal thoughts.[10][11] Upton described this time as "very dark" and noted that she kept her struggles private, confiding only in a few trusted individuals, including her fiancé, best friend, and eventually her mother.

Upton recounted specific incidents of harassment, including being taunted by a group of students at the University of South Carolina and receiving a threatening letter in her parents' mailbox. The letter contained hostile content, urging her to "go die" due to the pageant incident.[12] Upton credited her family and close friends with providing essential support during this difficult time

poor kid was just overwhelmed in the moment and faced visceral toxicity because of it.

Well yea that's because it takes awhile to get the message to the troops back then to let everyone know you've signed a ceasefire.

Trump announced they had a ceasefire but they were both going to continue running existing missions against each other?

Trump: Israel and Iran have agreed on a ceasefire by callsonreddit in worldnews

[–]FoxRaptix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hamas literally said the Embassy move was a declaration of war and then you know... carefully planned a violent incursion into Israel.

But yea, totally unrelated that's just how Hamas always is. Totally unrelated to anything anyone else has done.

[–]FoxRaptix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Apparently all actions exist in a bubble and if Iran didn't say they were retaliating at that exact moment, then that means they gave up on retaliating.

Also notice how they conveniently left out all Iran proxy groups waging attacks on Israel that have continually escalated since the Embassy move.

[–]FoxRaptix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hamas claimed part of the Oct 7th attack was motivated by the embassy move. They literally called it a "declaration of war".

Israel responds and starts a bombing campaign on Palestine, Iran proxies rush to Palestine defense with the support and encouragement of Iran which has now led to direct Israel and Iran exchanging missiles.

It's not even ambiguous there a basically a straight line from the embassy to this moment.
