I'm all for a trump celebration say where we celebrate the death of the most narcissistic pedophile dictator ever, and all leaders like him

It'll probably hurt his ego if Putin's demise is more celebrated than his.

I think your over playing it. Why do we the rest of the world care about your politician.
foodandart@lemmy.zip · 60 pts · 249d
Because he's making life shit for everyone else, including your country.
Just wait until he starts his war machine rolling - I mean impotent old man still needs to show the world he's got a big hard dick and he's the "boss" - nowhere will be protected from the consequences.

They are also overplaying it in America.
Trump won the popular vote.
The average American wouldn't be celebrating.

He didn't win anything. He cheated, and we ALL know it. Even MAGA knows it.
phutatorius@lemmy.zip · 7 pts · 248d
He's even bragged about it.
BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today · 6 pts · 248d
Thank you. Every time I say that, there are plenty of cowardly Democrats who actually defend MAGA's "victory" as "fair & square," as if after a lifetime of cheating at EVERYTHING, just for fun, the one election he wouldn't cheat in, is the one election that he absolutely had to win in order to avoid a lifetime prison sentence. MAGAs would love to brag about it, but they have to keep their mouths shut.
The first thing Dems need to do, if they are ever going to win again, is to resist literally EVERYTHING they say or do. Every statement gets denied, every action gets protested, every piece of legislation gets voted against - by every single elected Democrat, without exception. If a Dem gives MAGA legislation a single vote, then they should be rejected from the party, given NO campaign money, and be officially primaried by the party. They are FIRED!
That includes my worthless DINO rep.

Did you miss the part of the article where his approval rating is 36%? The average American disapproves of his performance in office, possibly including some of the people who voted for him.
(Only 64% of eligible voters voted in 2024, and 49.8% of those voters chose Trump. So the 32% of eligible voters who chose him could technically still approve of his performance. It's not likely that none of them have changed their minds because the leopards ate their faces, but it's mathematically possible.)

You see when other countries "elect" a dictator (usually by stealing), the whole country is evil and they need "democracy". All their allies with be on board with invading them because well, they're always the good guys.
When it's US and its allies, it's never their fault and they aren't responsible for the crimes their government commits.
They're just helpless individuals who have no say in how government operates and you're supposed to have sympathy for them no matter what.

It’s gonna be a lake of urine when everyone’s done pissing on his grave. Might as well make it a toilet. A toilet of solid gold, though.

Not yet, I want him to grow old and decrepit in a prison cell, then die slowly from a painful combination of illnesses, say arthritis, shingles, sciatica, plantar fasciitis, and bursitis.

Spinal cancer would be a nice addition to that list.
MajorasTerribleFate@lemmy.zip · 5 pts · 249d
Should go ahead and build him a Whiter House, or Whitest House, one where he also doesn't have to live with any prior residents having been black. Set it up in some sort of non-state U.S. territory, maybe give it a legal arrangement like a Native American reservation, but call it something he'll be happy about. Exclusive Territory, or VIP Room. Still subject to major crime laws of the federal government.
Mirshe@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 248d
He tried this, remember. Literally most of his first administration was run out of Mar-A-Lago, and now that he realizes he can be in the WH to stay, he's more than happy to turn IT into Mar-A-Lago II: Eletric Boogaloo.

Just driving home the fact that the President of the United States is a deranged lunatic with the emotional development of a toddler and an ego that's so grossly inflated ¡that it's stretched as thin and fragile as tissue.

And tens of millions of Americans still stand by their vote for him.

Is there anyone who can stop him from nuking something this time around?
phutatorius@lemmy.zip · 3 pts · 248d
Well, there's can, and then there's will. Yes, there are plenty of people around him who can.
Kronusdark@lemmy.world · 48 pts · 249d
I kinda just wish he’d won 2020 at this point. He wouldn’t have had 4 years to regroup with the project 2025 fascists, and we’d be done with him now.
Sciaphobia@sh.itjust.works · 73 pts · 249d
We'd also be done with him if he'd been prosecuted for the crimes. Even though they were fairly minor, like trying to usurp the will of the people and overthrow democracy, it would have done the trick.
jordanlund@lemmy.world · 14 pts · 249d
He was prosecuted and convicted, just never actually sentenced.
Sciaphobia@sh.itjust.works · 27 pts · 249d
If you mean the 34 felonies, that judge effectively said his punishment would be nothing. Which is very fun by the way - when has a non rich person gotten to shrug off dozens of felony convictions? He was never charged, as far as I'm aware, in connection to the coup attempt.
Rhaedas@fedia.io · 11 pts · 249d
Impeachments without a result are also convictions without consequences. If anything they showed him he could do whatever he wanted, so he has.
MajorasTerribleFate@lemmy.zip · 2 pts · 249d
Gonna get real pedantic here. It's passé that "impeachment" is the part the House of Representatives does, then the Senate gets their vote. If 2/3 of the Senage agree the person did the bad, this means they are "convicted" by the Senate which automatically leads to removal from office. So, a conviction in reference to the broader "impeachment" process comes with very real consequences, by definition.
Rhaedas@fedia.io · 2 pts · 249d
Yes, you're right, an acquittal does mean not convicted. Even when the general attitude among the Republicans wasn't that the impeachment findings were wrong, just that it wasn't a big deal to them (mainly concerning the first time, but I guess also the second since storming the Capitol wasn't enough to change their mind). So again the message was sent that he had free reign.
MajorasTerribleFate@lemmy.zip · 2 pts · 249d
Definitely don't disagree with you there.
Kronusdark@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 249d
Thats true too.
tacosanonymous@mander.xyz · 13 pts · 249d
There were so many other possibilities to stop his return. Most of them would be better than him ever having a second term.
Kronusdark@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 249d
In no way did I intend insinuate that this would be the BEST outcome. Im just lamenting that we still have to deal with him at all.

If he won 2020 the project 2025 crew would have still put in the work and we would be in his third, still unconstitutional, term.

I hope Shitgibbon has a miserable holiday. Stumbling the halls at Mar-a-Lardo, watching Hannity reruns and shouting at the screen.
His family hates him.
No real friends.
No music.
No enjoyment of food.
Not even a dog.
Crappy Holidays, you child murdering piece of shit.
nonentity@sh.itjust.works · 34 pts · 249d
Fascists are the weakest and most brittle snowflakes.
Every attack a revelation of insecurity.
Every praise an area of weakness.
Every accusation an admission.

Explain the Somali hate to me. It's already come up at family gatherings this holiday, and I can say with 100% certainty there aren't any Somali immigrants within 200 miles of this community.

Ilhan Omar is Somali born. She is critical of him, ergo he wants to remove all Somalis from the country. It's just hate all the way down.

givesomefucks@lemmy.world · 21 pts · 249d
He's got to pump it out over holidays, because it's one of the few days right/left still mix.
The last thing the wealthy want is people sitting down at a table and realizing the shit we fight over isn't as important as what the wealthy are doing to all of us.
It's just a distraction to keep us from uniting against them.
So trump wants his voters riled up and angry so no discussions can happen.
Auli@lemmy.ca · 5 pts · 249d
It works to well and has been for years. Look at slavery in the US when the white and black slaves united against the rich. They got scared and divided them with the oh you are not as bad as the black slaves. I mean we are talking hundreds of years of this divide. They do it cause it works.
phutatorius@lemmy.zip · 1 pts · 248d
That never happened. And you're massively distorting what chattel slavery was if you think that it was just the same as ordinary oppression of the working class.

Voter fraud... Like in the election we just had, that he claimed to have won?
So I guess I agree with him on that one issue
i_am_not_a_robot@discuss.tchncs.de · 7 pts · 249d
If there was so much voter fraud, why don't we have a special presidential election in 2026? Since he's doing such a great job as president and he's fixed all the voter fraud, surely he'll win again by an even greater margin.

More and more evidence is piling up of "Ballot stuffing", where voters were made-up, or one person was counted in multiple districts. Many counties had numbers showing that more than 100% of their registered voters turned out. This wasn't done at the polls, it was done by fudging the digital counts. Several orgs, including Election Truth Alliance, are currently in civil court fighting for hand recounts. The problem is that many of the officials that these concerns are being reported to are swearing up and down that it's impossible for our voting systems to be compromised. Many of these dipshits genuinely believe that the voting machines don't have internet access, not realizing that just because a voting machine can't pull up facebook or youtube, doesn't mean it isn't connected to the internet, and is therefore vulnerable to online tampering. Of course, nothing's being done because, well, look who's in charge.
How many times have we watched MAGA and Trump accuse enemies and rivals of exactly what they're doing? How is election rigging any different?

Then just impeach. The 25th is a higher bar, and he's arguably not incapable in the sense that the 25th was intended to handle. But there is no doubt about the high crimes and misdemeanors.

Ebenezer scrooge at least was an extremely private individual who had no relationships outside of the few stuff he needed for his business(es) which were very local in scale. All we know is he was a moneylender of some sorts and had a warehouse full of grain that he was profiteering from, but that's it.
