Meanwhile the billions in oil they stole from Venezuela is missing

It's not missing. It's in a private bank account in Qatar that only Trump controls.

Yeah they said, only Trump controls it. Also he doesn't remember invading or that the account exists

The idea they put it on the blockchain then lost their encryption key would be absolutely hilarious

Not corporations. Or even wealthy people. Just you, and all the other nameless plebs out there, already struggling to afford basic shit.

This is what they voted for.

When you elect a clown you get a circus... And they did it twice

especially a 2nd rate tv host , by FOX standards whom only is allowed on weekends.

We got the 3rd string practice squad equivalent of a "news" host as Secretary of Defense. You'd be better off having Bob Barkers corpse doing the job

Even after January 6th 🤯

True. But think of the other half. The open-eyed and -minded poor lads who now have to reap, what the troglodyte-brigade sew. I pity those...

Don't pity us, we all carry blame here. We all ignored warning signs. We all became complacent and let the corruption take everything. We should have hit the streets and not stopped after citizens united.

Well what could you have do beside not voting for the asshat? Unless you're some billionaire maybe.

Some of us weren't born ehrn citizens United came down.

We failed our children.

He should do what everyone else does and start a gofundme. I'm sure the people who invested in TRUMP coin would be happy to show their support.

US households are demanding Pete TripleSec go away forever

DarkFuture@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 11d

US households don't have $5,000 you drunk dipshit.

You lost your first war, deal with it.
