"Incompetence Everywhere"... wasn't that the Orange Pedophile's campaign slogan?

And courruption. Don't forget corruption.

Fair.

But imagine if they were competent.

And Pedophilia. Don't forget the Pedophilia. Everyone needs a hobby, especially Sociopathic Oligarchs, and they can afford Pedophilia.

resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world · 32 pts · 181d

First in the firing line.

That's not what he said. He said

America first

you know, like a list.

America first, then South America, Europe, Asia.....

They really should learn their ABCs then, cuz Afghanistan would be first alphabetically.

Huh? You made that up. Afwhatsit. That's not real. Signed, statesia

They only count as people to the admin if they have over 10 mil in assets

Are the Israelis still turning away folks from the shelters that don't look like them? They did that last year.

Hard to tell. I saw this the other day: https://x.com/hippyygoat/status/2028821826499903592

Sorry it's on X but I can't find any other source. So it may be sensationalist, recycled from 2025, or made up.

Regardless — sorry, zhongguoren, but you aren't the chosen people.

Operation Epstein Fury

resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 180d

Operation Epstein Furry II — UwU Boogaloo.

minorkeys@lemmy.world · 21 pts · 181d

Yeah. That's what you get when your leader prioritized loyalty over competence.

Gammelfisch@lemmy.world · 17 pts · 180d (2 replies)

Ain't that a shame. Tough shit and suck it up.

Scubus@sh.itjust.works · 4 pts · 180d (1 reply)

Imagine living in Israel in 2026. Fucking wild, unless they're there to overthrow the government then quite frankly fuck em.

tias@discuss.tchncs.de · 2 pts · 179d

Being there does not mean you live there. There are many people working for "American" companies with headquarters in Israel, for example.

WolfmanEightySix@piefed.social · 14 pts · 181d

It’s not incompetence, it’s deliberate.

givesomefucks@lemmy.world · 13 pts · 181d

A cynic would say they're hoping for American deaths in Israel to use as further justification for war...

But it's gonna ring pretty hollow after how many Americans Israel has killed.

As though any of this is accidental.

So which is worse: being stuck in Israel, or stuck in the US?

resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world · 20 pts · 181d (2 replies)

Israel has socialized medicine, at least.

wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz · 16 pts · 181d

Which the US pays for...

UnspecificGravity@piefed.social · 8 pts · 181d

Not for everyone.

mrdown@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 181d

Stuck in Gaza or the west bank

I think they are just trolling us when they use the first initials of Epstein Files to name their battle plan Epic Fury. Only in america.

FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 172d

Only in America do people insist that the majority aren't responsible for who was democratically elected

If you expected Trump to give a single, solitary shit about ordinary citizens, then you have NOT been paying attention.

BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today · 2 pts · 172d

After this guy whined incessantly about the chaos of getting out of Afghanistan (as if the end of any war isn't chaotic under the best of circumstances), he causes an enormous mess just STARTING a war.

How is this leopards material? Are Americans abroad majority Trumpers or something?

uienia@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 179d

Americans abroad? No. Americans visting Israel this last year, yeah, definitely.
