What about a second coup?

bravesilvernest@lemmy.ml · 39 pts · 318d (1 reply)

Only if you've finished your first.

Coup. Coup, coup, coup.

I could use a second coup right about now.

He also said

I am with you. I support you, and as president, I have your backs 100%. You'll never see me even waver a little bit.

Pretty easy to see which statement is true.

He also said a lot of people want your jobs and "we know everything about everyone."

Imagine being a general and being fired by a draft dodging felon rapist coward.

This is conservatism.

This moron is leading you to your deaths, America.

TrickDacy@lemmy.world · 52 pts · 318d (5 replies)

We know.

neukenindekeuken@sh.itjust.works · 36 pts · 318d (3 replies)

We definitely know.

Can't do anything about it at the moment though. They've kept us so poor we can't even afford to protest in a way that doesn't put a lot of people's livelihoods at risk.

scintilla@crust.piefed.social · 5 pts · 318d (2 replies)

Just protest anyways and if enough people do it surely they can't evict everyone.

It'll happen eventually. Not because everyone will finally decide it's the patriotic thing to do, but because they have no other option.

...what does this mean?

You are preaching to the choir. His supporters aren't on Lemmy.

Not just America, if (without WHO funding) entirely containable diseases are no longer contained.

And we’ll have a few fat, rich, old narcissists, and a staggeringly stupid western voting populace (both sides of the Atlantic), to thank for it.

If the military leaders had any decency he would have left that meeting in chains.

WhatGodIsMadeOf@feddit.org · 39 pts · 318d

And people are still banking on our military to save us. People don't realize how far gone genuine humanity is. We have barely been human beings for a long time. Nations are just a tool for the world's elite Mafia of which has no loyalty to anything but the game.

And possibly lose money, power, and pensions!?!?

Cadet Bonespurs should shut the fuck up.

But he won’t.

On his own.

Trump is just following a great tradition of leadership.

It's a double entendre. Alleged is the censored word but its purposely censored in a way to make it read "aged" if you ignore the censored letters

Also, "no king."

If Canada is lucky the us will replace all their military with the uneducated brain dead, fat, untrained magats that make up ice and we will take them out in no time.

Fuck that piece of shit. One of those generals is likely to arrange his "overthrow"

bagsy@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 318d (1 reply)

800 generals in the room, and not a spine among them.

PattyMcB@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 318d

Probably not a firearm among them, and for good reason

demizerone@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 318d

All them Generals and Admirals that had to sit there while a fucking Pedo and his TV talk show host crony threatened their careers. Fucking A.
