The joke here is that he won't leave the office

I'm not laughing.

Because you are a good person

rozodru@piefed.world · 7 pts · 1d

not a joke. it's a play directly from the comicbook "The Watchmen" - start a war you know you will never be able to finish but will ensure you stay in power as long as possible.

I'm expecting him to leave feet first.

Says the president who "would end the Russo-Ukraine war in 24 hours when he is in office." Day 559 of 24 hour peace deal so far.

Windex007@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1d

Misquoted.

He ACTUALLY said within 24 hours of being president ELECT.

So it's actually even worse than 559, it's 634.

Donald Trump is a rapist, pedophile and is using all these distractions to keep our minds off those facts.

Die Trump die.

gotta distract from the failed iran war which was a failed distraction from the epstein files which still need to be released.

Denmark will cut off trade and he will face the wrath of angry LEGO fans

huppakee@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 1d (2 replies)

He's saying he will be at some later date that is still tbd, is what i am reading.

that even worse/dumber, your basicly admiting hostility before your even ready.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca · 1 pts · 2h

No, he's essentially declaring war with NATO.

Dzheyk@sh.itjust.works · 8 pts · 1d

He says a lot of shit, most of it ain't true. What an absolute joke of human being. Remember that concept of a plan for healthcare he's had for..what..over a decade now? Or how he "obliterated" Iran's nuclear capabilities or military or whatever-the-fuck he made up? Or how smart people really don't like him?..oh wait no that one is true. All just misdirections to keep the focus away from Epstein. Where's those unredacted files you said you would release, oh wait, would maybe release because "they could hurt a lot of people" like..no fucking duh, that's the point. Eat a dick.

It's easy dismiss this as more BS coming out of his mouth. However, the US kidnapped Venezuela's head of state in January, now controls Venezuela's oil (a huge source of income and oil), and only gives a little bit to Venezuela.

More recently, the US is trying to directly destabilize Europe. US congress voted to support Morocco in taking back the currently Spanish enclave, Ceuta. It is beginning to look like the US launched a social media disinformation campaign that caused 50,0000 migrants to try to cross the border into Ceuta in a single day (a highly irregular number). Migrants say they saw online that if they made it in they would be granted EU residency (or whatever). When Spain expressed support for the migrants, pretty much every EU head of State turned on Spain.

Chump is full of shit. But at the same time, he's clearly fascist and spreading it globally, which MSM is under-reporting and normalizing, ofc

FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca · 3 pts · 1d

As a Canadian, I've been terrified since he kidnapped the leader of Venezuela. It was a reminder that he might actually attack neighbouring countries any time. I was actually expecting to be at war with the Untied States by now

Wow that orange pedophile really did kill that little girl, didn’t he?

Unfortunately, you'll have to be more specific.

Before you try to control Greenland, you should first be able to control your bowels

But he never intends to leave office

I never thought of it that way. Thanks, I guess 😂

The writers must've remembered they forgot to follow-up on this plotline.

Thank God! I mean Greenland is only protected by NATO (which includes the US) right now.

Imagine if China, a neighboring country that is just halfway around the globe, or Russia, which is depleting it's mostly soviet era military at a demented speed, were to try to invade a NATO country.

Anything to distract from the Trump-Epstein files

I wish Denmark would be our new overlords instead

ddplf@szmer.info · 4 pts · 4h (2 replies)

Uhmmmm, noo? Think again, Denmark has free healthcare, regulated housing market, worker rights, extensive consumer protection and resocialization-focuses penal system.

You still want that, huh!?

Washedupcynic@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 4h

YES!

On a personal note, Denmark is my favorite country and now I'm afraid I'll never be able to visit. I can use my European passport but they'll still know I'm a yank 😭
