while giving a sermon at the Pentagon

What the fuck? Why is this alcoholic giving sermons at the Pentagon?

Unsurprisingly, alcoholics are great at making bad and morally unsound decisions

Edit: since it looks like I'm probably being just a judgmental jerk.

I'm booze free for three years now, I've made my share of bad and morally unsound decisions with the stuff, but the best one was putting it down. If there's anyone out there who thinks they have a problem, I assure you it's worth whatever it takes to give it up, it's much nicer on the other side.

Don't lump decent booze-hounds like myself in with that worthless heap of shit

You're giving alcoholics like me a bad image

Good thing I'm just your everyday window masturbator then

Why is an unregistered paedo, reality TV star, confirmed rapist, racist, convicted felon, bankruptcy champion, russian stooge, blatant corrupt, pathological liar, massively narcissistic, dementia riddled mushy brained, pussy grabbing sexual assaulter allowed to be the us president (twice)?

And why is the aforementioned ambling barrel of obese syphilis allowed to put these inexperienced idiots to be in such positions of power?

Christ, allowing a tantrumming toddler to have all that power is ridiculous in itself. But then allowing a manbaby to just gut and replace such important jobs with insane sycophants is absolutely moronic!

Because the United States are broken beyond repair.

The typical American is desperate, struggling, frightened and beaten into apathy

Unfortunately, they're also incredibly poorly educated and ignorant.

What they're taught in school is a sanitised and propagandised version of the world, where America is always the hero

When they are shown how civilised countries operate, the response is always "this is America, we don't want that here, despite the fact that it's demonstrably better for everyone in society"

Makes me remember sailors from the soviet union, laughing their asses off because we explicitly drove all our cars in front of their boat in the harbour to make them believe like everyone in Sweden had a car.

When it was just a normal day.

Bet usanians can't comprehend the freedom we have in europe either.

They're actively trying to destroy it like Daddy Putin wants

He's also just a fucking dickhead -- nobody ever mentions that. And he's the worst kind of person -- an insufferable moron that thinks he's a genius (maybe that fits with "massively narcissistic" but I think it's different tho possibly related).

Racism. George Washington should have let the southern states separate after the Revolutionary war when they threatened to if they weren't allowed to keep slaves.

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 9 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

(George Washington was one of those slaveholders in a southern state)

[–] devolution@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Thanks for the clarification. I forgot he was.

Read the article in this thread. It is insane. https://lemmy.world/post/45596499?sort=Top

I learned from kingdom come deliverance that the best sermons are made when still drunk from the day before.

I take offense to this! I AM a public masturbator, a good one at that, and I will not be shamed by association with homeless people, which I also was for four years
