They say this species croaks at a frequency that only children can hear
Yet doesn't croak frequently enough.
Wish he would croak at a frequency everyone could hear
it actually sounds like sharts
I hope he croaks tomorrow
doesnt really matter, he trafficked, tortured, and raped hundreds, if not thousands of women and children during his lifetime.
and may have also commited cannabilism, it seems.
Cannabilism?
Everyone who would have posted something racist and vile like this just 2 years ago would have been expelled from school or college or lost their job.
This is absolutely insane.
Also this guy is a pedofile and rapist without any morals.
This is what undoing decade worth of progression in less than a year looks like. With such progressive movements, people who oppose it go into social hiding and come out when the time is right. If the progression hasn't lasted enough to become a societal reflex then it can be toppled easily. That is what we are seeing with things like LGBQT+ rights, DEI, inclusivity etc in the US
guy is a pedofile and rapist
So essentially a sex offender, lets not forget there is a word specifically for this purpose.
There are sex offenders who don’t touch kids, he’s of the extra vile type.
There are sex offenders who don’t touch kids
I think you meant pedophiles, since its an attraction. Sex offenders are people who already offended; therefore, touched kids.
I can agree with the last part, there is no excuse he can make to change the situation for him or others. Also he might be a nepophile, which really highlights the vile part.
Now just imagine if Biden posted this. Now just imagine if Biden was having ice kidnap people off the streets. Now imagine if Biden was in the Epstein files.
I don't... What? If Biden posted this they'd call it based, racism is literally one of the right's only actual principles. And Biden did have Ice kidnap people off the streets, he just didn't give them mea culpa to execute people or celebrate the cruelty.
They WOULD tear into him for being in the Epstein files, though.
If Biden did just one thing Trump has done in just the last year they would be calling for his resignation and execution.
IDK, they would probably have no problem pretending to not be racist for 5 seconds as long as it hurt someone they didn't like
What a vile human. A coronary can’t happen too soon
I’d prefer it be spontaneous dental hydroplosion.
Every now and then I engage with a MAGA who demands my proof that Trump is a racist. Here ya go.
“that wasnt him”
“it was removed”
“didnt mean it like that”
“pobody’s nerfect!”
blah blah blah
I remember seeing Obama sworn in on the break room TV at work. People still didn't say the quiet part out loud back then, but you could tell they were fucking seething about him getting elected.
"Look how smug he is." "She's ugly." "Just a disgrace." "I bet they're all happy now."
The people who would go on to become the MAGA of today, as well as Trump and so many others, will never let Obama's victory go. They'll never forgive him for being black, successful, and worst of all, more popular than they are.
Even if Obama disappeared from the public consciousness today, or it was discovered that he's committed some horrible crime and he goes to jail, they'd still feel that his getting elected was an unforgivable insult towards them on a personal level.
That's the kind of mentality we're dealing with.
His election complete broke the minds of a lot of people. We’re in the situation we’re in in part (most of this started long long ago) because their hate finally boiled over.
I think it stole a sense of security from them. It's like they assumed that because MLK day was a bank holiday no one needed to be upset about anything anymore, we could keep electing old white guys until the sun burns out and no one would ever think they're the bad guys for maintaining the status quo.
There has to be a betting pool on which slur he says on a hot mic first.
Trump saying the N-word is so expected that it would barely make a ripple. He obviously shit himself on camera the other day, and it barely made the Internet.
please share!
This just happened this past week:
At :34, you hear an audible shart, then watch the woman in green's gradual reaction, before staffers suddenly clear the room of reporters before they could ask any questions.
Wow they really knew how to react and did so quickly.
Made my day.
You use the Epstein Files to distract from the Foreign Invasions, and Federal Death Squads employing spontaneous firing squads against American citizens to distract from the Epstein Files, but what to you do to distract from all of it?
"I know, I'll poop my pants in front of everybody, and they'll stop asking questions and run out of the room. Works every time!"
Jokes on you, I shit myself!
And in 3,. 2,. 1,. we will all watch Mike Johnson avoiding a press scrum saying "he hasn't seen this" and "I don't know anything about it".
That video and Trump are racist as shit. To be clear though, all humans are apes, including Trump. That video depicts them as non-human apes.
And yet when someone portrays trump as a small dicked wannabe simpleton, they get angry. I don't control what's on the news!
Remember, it's always projection with this ghoul.
In this case I think it’s distraction.
It’s amazing how easy it was to subvert all checks and balances and criticisms by just always having a few more awful things ready to go.
Video showing your paramilitary murdering citizens, boom release some Epstein files
Credible evidence that you are a pedophile, boom racist meme
People upset about racism, boom attack trans kids or something.
As long as there are a couple outrage plates spinning he can always just wander over to another one if people start getting too upset.
You're saying he's secretly an ape?
In terms of IQ and empathy, he's closer to a flatworm.
I've been calling them ICE Apes, and this fucking turd is going to turn my perfectly appropriate nickname into something racist. I'm not calling them ICE Apes because it's racist, I'm calling them apes because they're unevolved animals.
I don't think it's secret. He's the most infamous orangutan in history.
No, don't insult the chillest apes in the jungle like that. :(
Fair.
Just start blasting AI videos of him on epstein Island who fucking cares at this point.
I'll rather FBI just releases the ones they have.
and goes on to call any rage at this fake
