      I’m sure the same people who were infuriated with Biden the year Trans Day of Visibility just happened to coincide with Easter are just as angry now!

    I’m ok with the fascism, reduction of our rights, human trafficking, pedophilia, rape, forced deportations, economic wars against our allies, bombing of civilians, war crimes, crimes against humanity, and bigotry against anyone that is not a cis het white man, but I draw a line at an American President cursing on Easter Sunday.

      I really wish Republicans would draw a line literally anywhere. But they keep explaining away every unhinged thing their leader says.

      If a Democratic president said any of these things, Fox News would initiate pearl-clutching immediately, and Republican lawmakers would start impeachment proceedings the next day.

      I’m ok with alll of that, I just can’t stand having to pay a total of $5 more to fill up a tank of gas. It’s finally personally affecting me, so it’s a problem!!!

        The world has never trusted the US. Because of all that stuff we do to it.

        Europe trusted the US, from around the mid 40s until the bush regime. That’s the so called “american century”, from the US entering ww2 until “WMDs in iraq” - about 60 years.

            It’s… really not. Outside of key historically American-friendly regions, Trump is just seen as another imperialist ghoul running America in a long line of imperialist ghouls running America.

              It is. There’s a reason why European countries (and Canada) are trying to reduce their economic ties with the US. No country ever thought the US to be a force for good, everybody understood that capitalism was the single most important driving force behind the US international policy. But there was a semblance of decency and a principle of reciprocity among allies that the US helped maintain (obviously to its advantage most of the time, but nonetheless).

              Now Trump is telling the rest of the world to fuck off, kidnaps a foreign leader, threatens to invade friendly countries and follows Israel in a genocide. What’s happening right now is completely different from the US foreign policy for the last 40 years.

              Yes, but also no.

              Everyone can see the inflection point. Some might be tempted to roll the dice, we got a shit situation now, let’s see what happens. But everyone can see things are not like they used to be.

                Trump is an accelerator, but he is also a symptom of a diseased country. The US has been religious fanatics since the Mayflower, nationalistic from 1776, imperialistic since WW1, and politically corrupt since Reagan (at the latest).

                Those are some heavyweight cancers ravaging the country.

                  Oh yeah, absolutely. The county electing an obviously unfit person to the highest office is not something that happens on its own: it’s an indication of the rot running deep. The unfit person can then accelerate the destruction of the country in ways few were even able to anticipate.

                  The U.S. has entered exponential decline, where everything that happens makes the next step more likely and more impactful.

    Can’t wait to see the Iranian embassies tweets trolling him like yesterday.

    The guy really sounds pissed off and I’m not sure I get why. The war was won, he’s leaving the country in 2 weeks and he doesn’t care if the strait is open or not by the time so… what’s wrong, Trump? U mad bro?

        Evangelicals only worry about the morality of Democrats. Republicans are allowed to be foul mouthed pedophiles because they are working for God.

    And Wednesday then would be desalination day, and cities in the region then would have to be evacuated.
