We need to stop taking grievance from trump and take it from Americans in general. The Americans are going to throw us all back to the dark ages.

I’m sure he’ll want Europe to pay for expenses in Iran too, after all he was protecting YOU in this not war that you didn’t want and warned him against.

What "allied nations"? We are actively engaged in hostilities with everyone who's not under dictatorship. Stop pretending like we aren't an aggressive rogue state.

Netanyahu is a US ally though. Or maybe it's only the other way around. And maybe in the near future the US will get North-Korea and Russia as ally, if Trump plays his cards right.

Netanyahu counts as dictatorship

I agree, but not being hostile doesn't make you an ally, so i felt i should write that.

Tell them we don't want to give money to the Epstein class.

We need a blacklist of all EU politicians who would agree to this.

It's clear he doesn't understand that aid is voluntary, I bet he's never given anything away for free ever. Also the Budapest Memorandum?

I try not to but I'd rather hang out with a room full of gingers or the less-famous Baldwins or something.

panda_abyss@lemmy.ca · 6 pts · 1d (4 replies)

You try not to hang out with the Baldwins — are you particularly successful or unsuccessful in that?

SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world · -2 pts · 1d (3 replies)

The better question here is would you enjoy hanging out with the non-Alec Baldwins?

panda_abyss@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 1d (2 replies)

I have serious questions about Nine Dead, so kinda.

SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world · -1 pts · 1d (1 reply)

What do Nine Dead and the non-famous Baldwins have to do with each other?
