Assuming that he was doing this in order to boost his popularity due to war, how does he fuck this up and get bullied over the Epstein files for another year? Because he’s GOING to fuck this up.

Usually there's a lot more build up for this kind of thing to get the public on their side, but they figured they could use the Trump magic to just shove it in dry. I don't think it's gonna fly. Share all the Epstein files!

Why does his profile picture look like a sims 1 character??

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 14 points 6 days ago (2 children)

The same reason his platform was "whatever the companies wanted it to be"

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 4 points 6 days ago

Yeah, I had high hopes from him and he sold out almost immediately.

My brother used AI to create "professional portraits" and they looked like this.

I mocked him and flooded his inbox with local portrait photographers until he changed his profile pic

Pete would know, he's had first hand experience.

I believe they're setting this up so they can send Epsteiners to Venezuela to take high level government positions and "help run it" and give them a convenient way to leave the country and be beyond prosecution while maintaining a luxury lifestyle.

The best part is the next stage of the pattern where the opposition party gets elected and fails to change the ability for a president to launch regime change wars unilaterally. Or make it so ordinary folks have a decent life.

And then we just repeat it every decade or so.

And "Thanks Obama" 2026

It's the Republican presidential playbook.

It's a very obvious pattern. A US president decides to do regime change.

That's it. That's the pattern.

No wars until the average American isn't struggling with basic needs like food, education, healthcare and a roof over their heads. You know, things every other normal country provides to their citizens.

[–] shawn1122@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 days ago

I'm afraid the US operates on military keynesianism. It would be a welcome change in character, but an unlikely one.

The only difference now is that the president is also a pedophile

[–] wizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 6 days ago

known pedophile

Or are we going to conveniently ignore that the rumor that Trump sucked Bill's hog means that Bill was running in those circles too? The reason there's barely any movement on releasing the files is because it implicates fucking everyone in that socio-economic strata.

Trump's openly horrid. That doesn't mean the previous chucklefucks were spotless.

America First doesn't include running other countries.

[–] auraithx@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 6 days ago (1 children)

It does they just envision a much larger America.

Cuba and Nicaragua next before the mid-terms.

[–] Candice_the_elephant@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Greenland just after, and Canada in late 2027.

[–] theneverfox@pawb.social 2 points 6 days ago

And in 2027 AI apparently escapes contentment, and the US government is destroyed in 2029. At least that's what the YouTube thumbnails have been saying
