You need to provide an archived link of trump saying this. Anyone can help, you all have an hour. Sorry, but I have to take it down if no one provides the link. Rule 6

Thanks for requiring a clip or source. It’s easy for anyone to slap text on a picture and claim it as truth or “just a joke”.

[-] GraniteM@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

It's really quite double plus ungood, but it's good that a citation was provided.

[-] UltraMagnus0001@lemmy.world 16 points 2 days ago

Thanks , I can't listen to him ramble. My hand uncontrollably goes on my forehead and I get embarrassed that almost half of Americans voted for this fucker.

[-] BigDiction@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

I think it needs to be an archived link of the tweet... I suspect the problem is tweets getting deleted, not so much the veracity of the quote (which is well documented)

At least... I hope. Because otherwise that would be dumb.

[-] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 days ago

I guess I'm dumb, lol. I originally started doing it because the propaganda and lies being spread through memes in this community were a lot. Most of the people, like 99.9% in this community, are awesome. They'll help if a poster doesn't understand.

I'm not sure what Google has to do with it, but here you go: https://archive.is/75fuN

What does Google have to do with archive sites?

For these three reasons alone, I consider it highly likely that this regime will now abandon even the pretense of democracy and establish a true autocracy:

  1. ICE has a larger budget than all U.S. federal agencies combined. This budget is equivalent to the military spending of a medium-sized country. It is clearly a secret police force.
  2. Given the serious crimes they have already committed, all members of the cabinet would likely face criminal prosecution under a new administration—even within the completely dysfunctional U.S. legal system. They will not let it come to that.
  3. Coups d’état have no criminal consequences in the U.S., at least for conservatives, as evidenced by the fact that no one actually responsible was prosecuted during the last coup attempt—even the foot soldiers are all back on the loose.

I'm not holding my breath. It would be great if I'm wrong, but my bingo card has the next admin proclaiming "now is the time for healing and unity, not vengeance" instead of actually enforcing the consequences that are supposed to come with actions.

[-] Mantzy81@aussie.zone 10 points 2 days ago

They do have a history of giving clemency to those who try to destroy the will of the people so this would be a predictable outcome.

Instead of the chop chop required.

And if they do that, then it'll be a lesson to the next fucker that the move is to go farther and commit more crimes, because consequences don't exist, so you might as well set yourself up as President For Life and make plans to pass your regime off to your favorite child.

[-] AWistfulNihilist@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

This is a crossing the Rubicon moment for Trump. The entire maga apparatus understands that at least the pretense of consequences await them if another group takes over, that includes people who have been fired or left. It happened to them the last time. They know this time the other side is getting voted in on consequences, and they know the other side knows they have a year or two post election to do it, or else they already risk getting wiped out in the midterms just like the situation that republicans find themselves in now.

It's life or death right now for a lot of members of this admin, and they are gonna act like that. Good luck us.

Fuck Americans for letting this asshole win a second time.

[-] osanna@lemmy.vg 13 points 2 days ago

Yeah, I can get the first time to a degree (still think he’s a pos). But seriously, seeing his first regime, who the fuck would vote for him a second and potentially third time??

[-] brotato@slrpnk.net 10 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

We have a large portion of the population that is undereducated, which leads to lack of critical thinking skills and media illiteracy. Unfortunately we also have a large population in the south that is brainwashed by Christian nationalism, which the Republicans gladly pander to. These people are lied to on a daily basis by nothing short of propaganda in our news media.

I believe that people latch onto him because he has very simplistic messaging that they can understand. They are told and believe that he is good and will help them and the country’s economy. That or they’re downright racist and just want immigrants to be deported.

This coupled with our somewhat rigged electoral college system causes things like this to happen in our country. Many of us don’t like it and would like the electoral college to be abolished. However, the Republicans know that without it they would never win, so it stays. Our largest population centers ALWAYS lean heavily Democrat. The “land” that votes in our federal elections would never stand a chance without the EC.

[-] osanna@lemmy.vg 6 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

I don’t really understand how one persons vote can be less important than someone else’s who lives in a rural area. But yeah, I know. In smart, educated centres, the democrats lead. It’s only the uneducated people they vote for repubes. Crazy to think

If there’s one thing those kind of people excel at, it’s being told exactly what to do.

And they’ll let him win a third time too. There will be complaining and social media posts, but I won’t be remotely surprised when he doesn’t leave office.

I mean, the next election is November, 2028. So if he isn't in office then, something dramatic happened.

[-] Endymion_Mallorn@kbin.melroy.org 37 points 3 days ago

We need something dramatic to happen. Preferably a removal for treason.

Trump never lies about what he wants to do. He always lies about his accomplishments.

He’s not lying. That’s exactly what he wants to do.

[-] sirico@feddit.uk 23 points 2 days ago

He's joking guys like the joke about Venezuela! Or the Joke about ICE. He uses jokes or light hearted comments to soften the impact of terrible actions to gauge public reaction? No it's just jokes guys!

I wish all Trumps a very happy please die of a stroke before 2027

[-] BarneyPiccolo@lemmings.world 9 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

He has no intention of leaving after 2028. He's not building that ballroom for some Democrat, or anyone else. That's his.

We need to have a major open national discussion about how we would handle such a situation, so that they know that he can't just pull a Maduro, and just ignore the results of elections, and remain in the Royal Palace.

He needs to know that if he attempts to stay, there will be a march on the White House, and everyone inside will be executed, and the building burned to the ground. If we have to go that far, we're re-starting from scratch.

[-] tired_n_bored@lemmy.world 19 points 3 days ago

Dude forgot he's about to die lol

[-] D_C@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 days ago

The child rapists 'father' was mid 90s before that cunt finally died.
So if anyone is hoping that the paedo in chiefs age will take him out before he can shit all over your constitution some more then you need to think again.

Sorry, but Satan just doesn't want things like Donvict Drumpf down there lowering the tone.
You'll have to take the withering blob of orange gonorrhoea out yourselves.

You know? I'm starting to think that November doesn't matter at all.

I mean: we already know that the current administration can openly ignore judges without any consequence. So: what is anyone going to do if after November, the pedoparty loses all their seats but they simply ignore the results and stay in power? Who's gonna arrest them? Who's gonna enforce the judge ruling saying that X or Y won that seat and the pedopolitician in question should be removed from it?

I don't think right now the US has the spine to start a civil war and, frankly, you are gonna need it. It's about time you realize your legal system and your judges are worth shit if the people enforcing the laws and rulings are in bed with the ones breaking the law.

Technically if he doesn't croak or move to Israel with all of his stolen government money he'll be in office until Jan 6th, 2029.

I guess being a disgusting pedo asshole means not even death wants anything to do with you, but eventually everyone is visited by it...
