Trump Wants Nations to Pay $1 Billion to Stay on His Peace Board

The draft appears to suggest Trump himself would control the money, something that would be considered unacceptable to most countries who could have potentially joined the board

Seriously - how long are people going to keep pretending that Trump is sane?

silence7@slrpnk.net · 57 pts · 209d (2 replies)

Being a greedy Nazi doesn’t make you insane. It just means you're evil.

homes@piefed.world · 23 pts · 209d

Psychopathy is a severe mental illness.

“Insane” is contemporaneously used as a colloquial term. Its use in the field of mental health is antiquated.

You guys, the truth is way more depressing. They are not even smart enough to be as evil as you're giving them credit for.

The Turnip Act

The new law has been written and couriers even now are distributing it to all your vassals. You admire your handiwork:

"Whereas the turnip represents the very best qualities to be found in society, and: whereas it is of fine texture, particularly when boiled, and has been proven to remedy all ailments known to Man when consumed:"

"Therefore I, Donald Trump, decree that the turnip shall henceforth be used as currency throughout the realm, taking the place of gold, silver, or any other precious metal. These shall instead be turned over to the Crown for immediate disposal."

Board of Peace members: USA, Israel, Russia, Saudi Arabia

They will meet annually in Mar-a-Lago and most if its $3B budget will be used to rent it for a week and fill it with hookers.

This is just so unfathomably fucking pathetic. Jesus fucking Christ 🤦

I'm now taking it upon myself to design and print shirts to hand out for friends and neighbors to remind every single one of you dumbshitfucks that voted for this OR abstained because your feelings were hurt, that we will never forgive you.

This could have all been avoided with this fat piece of shit rotting in jail.

Merrick Garland and the Biden administration fucked the world over when they didn't arrest, prosecute, and put that orange traitor in prison.

That should have been done in less than a fucking year and they had 4.

The irreversible damage that has now been done is also on them as well as these MAGA Nazis.

YELLING NOW FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK...📢

THE NEXT PEOPLE IN OFFICE SHOULD BE PEOPLE WITH THE FULL INTENT TO ARREST AND PROSECUTE OR IMPEACH ALL THESE TRAITORS.

REMOVE SCOTUS FOR THE IMMUNITY BULLSHIT

REMOVE LOWER COURT JUDGES APPOINTED BY TRUMP

ARREST AND PROSECUTE EVERY DOGE MOTHERFUCKER INCLUDING ELON AND FINE HIM BASED ON HIS WORTH.

AMEND OUR CONSTITUTION TO PROTECT IT FROM BAD FAITH ACTORS

PUT TEETH INTO THE FCC AND FTC AND DESTROY FOX NEWS AND OTHER RIGHT WING PROPAGANDA LIE FACTORIES.

THIS LIST GOES ON AND ON BUT YOU GET MY POINT.

That's a lot of nooses required. I'll volunteer to make them!

phutatorius@lemmy.zip · 2 pts · 207d

That's a macrame project I can support.

Im ashamed for Americans vicariously.

Its just beyond absurd. The continued support for this guy is tough to comprehend.

just_another_person@lemmy.world · -1 pts · 209d (1 reply)

There is no "continued support". Not sure where you're getting that.

Majority wants all of these people removed from office or dead. Just a fact.

The unfortunate portion of that is this shithead snuck by with a 1.8% win because some people didn't want to vote for a Black Woman who was not allowed to say she would revoke funding for Israel.

This is where we are. I still hold those that knew this would happen and voted for Trump or abstained accountable. No forgiveness.

fizzle@quokk.au · 3 pts · 209d

So long as he is POTUS he has "continued support". He's committed innumerable impeachable offenses, but the house won't get rid of him.

I'm sorry but you're delusional if you think he "snuck through".

That's pretty much how you ended up where you are, by dramatically underestimating the portion of US voters who are totally fine with everything happening right now, even if they won't admit.

I remember how "Thanks, Obama" was used unironically (but sarcastically) by the very same dumbfucks that enable and slurp this guy daily.

Then later, they probably had a lot of feels when people (including Obama) started to mock them over it. Now these same shit stains that later printed up "fuck your feelings" (projection again, they had a fucking meltdown and had all kinds of feelings about a black guy as President) adore Donvict as he destroys our country.
