Fascists don't joke. They threaten and bully and see how people react, then decide whether to claim it was a joke.

Imagine how badly zelensky wants to fucking choke out the child raping fascist.

Frankly, if there’s a trilateral summit between Zelenskyy, orangeboi, and Putin… well, let’s just say I can think of far worse ways to spend the balance of my life.

If he could get Vance at the same time could you imagine? The world would be a different place in the morning that’s for sure.

I mean… I get where you’re going, but the next guy in the line after those two is a complete fucking psycho and a staunch Nationalist Christian (by all means, read into how that ordering can be shortened) and Christian Dominionist, which would not be better.

"jokes"... those aren't jokes, Salon. Those should be taken as serious as a heart attack. Wake up journalists of the States, your country is under attack from within. (and has been for about a decade now)

The law on this is clear, we still have elections during wartime, but that's never stopped him before.

I mean so does ukraine iirc...

[–] Triasha@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

My understanding was the Ukrainian constitution prohibits elections during war time. The exact opposite of ours.

[–] Faildini@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

That's correct, and basically the reason the whole "Zelensky is a dictator" argument doesn't hold water. He's following the laws of his country by not holding elections. Our country doesn't work that way.

Trump has no sense of humor.

[–] vga@sopuli.xyz 6 points 2 months ago

I hope it's against Russia and not against Ukraine. Or Greenland.
