The guy illegally attempted to overturn an election. Spread a deadly lie about our institutions that incited an insurrection. Stole classified documents and refused to return them when asked. Stated he trusted Russian intelligence over U.S. intelligence on live television.

The man is quite literally a traitor to the United States of America.

And, as a nation, we decided that not only was it not a big enough deal to do anything about, but that we should totally let him be president again.

No one should be surprised about this, or any of the insane shit we'll be hearing over the next 4 years.

Welcome to the new normal. It's going to be bad. And it's going to get worse. And it'll probably continue after Trump is gone because that's what happens when this kind of stuff gets normalized.

America is failing, and this is probably just the beginning.

Yup, failing, or already failed and we're just waiting for the ashes to settle. I don't think democracy can work when the public is intentionally being misinformed, and no country can be stable when it's governed by a shitstorm of lies.

Y'all weren't that misinformed. He got up on stage and rambled. He got up on stage and said nothing while he barely gyrated his hips for 40 minutes. He grabbed em by the pussy.

The whole election campaign was so laughably bad that it became a flex of how he is going to get away with everything. If you voted him in knowing all this than who gives a fuck what he does.

The fires have been lit, but we haven't completely burned down quite yet... It's really only a matter of time, though.

11 days until the real fun starts!

Putin's poodle is a pushover again.

It's also a distraction tactic, so the Trump admin can ban trans people from sports, to ease people for the eventual banning of trans people.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 11 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

I kind of suspect treating people poorly is the distraction. He's trying to make sure people don't notice that putin's hand is up his ass.

[–] mynameisigglepiggle@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago

Yeah he doesn't care about trans people, he cares about sweet sweet corruption.

With greenland you get all of the mineral rights that are melting out of it, you get the fishing rights around it and access to the northwest passage route as the north pole melts.

Send this to my dad so he can write, "Russiagate" and then go listen to reruns of rush.

I have no idea how we get through to these people.

The US is a client state of the russian mafia. And Americans at large are too stupid to care
