JFC. The man has the emotional intellect of a toddler.

I work with toddlers, they are far far more understanding and capable.

What do you expect to happen, best case? He's not criminally exposed. This is itself a distraction from (I'm sorry to say) even worse shit that is currently ongoing.

[–] blunderworld@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 days ago

Does he think he's owning us with this? I honestly couldn't give a fuck what Americans name the lake. Nobody outside of America is going to call it that, he's not emperor.

[–] wirebeads@lemmy.ca 11 points 2 days ago

Fuck you and die Trump.

I'm rather tired of this executive order nonsense. Can things really be changed so easily with an EO decree? If so, things are severely broken.

Funny how this shit always goes down at the same exact time that we happen to blow up a whole bunch of literal babies.
