He wants to do a nuke so bad.

We should all be terrified.

He really wants to drop the bomb. Its so fucked up

Everyone's got their kink.

I'm reasonably sure that is "the big one" he mentioned the other day.

My thoughts too

"First president to do it in over 80 years. They said it couldn't be done. 'Sir, you can't do this," they said. The greatest president in American history, the strongest president. They came to me with tears in their eyes, they said 'please sir, don't do it.'"

Someone just nuke his ass first.

shalafi@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 161d (1 reply)

He can't. The strict command and control structure between POTUS and launch keys will break down, just as it did with 3 or 4 events during the Cold War.

T00l_shed@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 161d

Doesn't mean he doesn't want to. Also they have been replacing "dissenters" with loyalists.

tempest@lemmy.ca · 12 pts · 161d

He is fucking busy shitting his pants and napping in his retirement home in Florida.

It's the ghouls around him that actually have the follow through to make sense of the mad kings ramblings.

I really hope this fucking moron dies and suffer a lot

From the makers of "Vibe Coding", we present to you "Vibe foreign policy!"

GalacticSushi@piefed.blahaj.zone · 31 pts · 161d (1 reply)

You're absolutely right! I told you to bomb Iran without considering all of the obvious fallout. That's on me, and in the future I'll do more to accurately convey the potential ramifications of any foreign policy decisions I suggest.

In the meantime, I can help you spin this disaster. Let me know if you want me to:

🦅 Help draft a propaganda piece smearing any detractors as unpatriotic

💣 Generate an image that looks like satellite imagery of a weapons grade uranium enrichment facility

👶 Organize a hangout with your friends to help blow off some steam

Just let me know what you'd like me to get started on. And remember, you got this!

It is about pre-emptively invading other countries on the basis of made up attacks.

Hopefully that feeling is his left arm going tingly and numb because he’s about to have a massive heart attack that’ll finally finish the fucking job.

that feeling is the pressure of the epstein files being released.

Republicans have cosigned all this shit by not impeaching him.

100_kg_90_de_belin@feddit.it · 14 pts · 161d

The president had a feeling, again, based on fact

Calling it "fact" doesn't make it one

D_C@sh.itjust.works · 13 pts · 162d

That was just the incontinence.

InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world · 12 pts · 161d

Someone should ask him if he feels the rest of the Epstein Files are hiding in Tehran.

altphoto@lemmy.today · 12 pts · 161d

Me, I just wipe and flush the toilet after I have one of those feelings.

"And when I get that feeling, I want military healing.

Military healing is good for me

Makes me feel so fine, it's such a rush

Helps to relieve the mind (of Epstein files), and it's good for us (mostly me)"

.......ya know? If trump just nuked all of earth, and everybody died? At least I don't have to worry about my non-existant retirement plan.

I'd rather their insane country didn't take the rest of us with them.

Bloomcole@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 161d (1 reply)

that shitty little freak genocider entity is at least as dangerously fanatic and amoral.
they actuall said they will nuke everyone if/when they lose.
which might be very soon

Oh come on, New Zealand has the best chance of survival out of anywhere in the world, along with maybe some forgotten village in the middle of the Asian Steppes or the Tibetan Plateau...

Oh. I know. Guess where all their billionaires have bought citizenship and built bunkers?

Do us all a favor and seal them inside after they close their hatches behind them

We could at least start catching up on sleep.

Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 161d

I’m not worried about being directly hit, as it would be a quick death I’d never even be aware of.

But I’m terrified of being in the blast zone and surviving, as that means a slow, painful death by disintegration. When the radioactivity prevents one’s cells from dividing, the countdown clock has begun and there’s nothing anyone can do about it.

honest to god this is how you know everyone competent has been fired any competent person would be like "sir you're setting everyone up with an easy joke how about like Operation Freedom Speed or Operations Sick Spins"

Operation Epic Fury . . . Operation Steel Weiner . . . Operation Hot, Oily Buttocks . . .

It's always one of these desperate, striving names that a bunch of 12 year old boys would come up with.

Fedizen@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 161d

Operation Your Momma

It fits with the overall theme, I guess.

He had many feelings on an Island too. I don't like it when trump has feelings...

DragonAce@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 161d

He had a feeling and it was called "fear of the Epstein files".

A feeling based on a concept of a fact.

That feeling was a stiffy, at the thought of hurting people.

The feeling Trump had was of his bowels moving.
