And some people who post here still act as if Trump Sr is not going to betray Ukraine as soon as he's back in office.
Spewing nonsense isn't finding a way to blame them. It's spewing nonsense. It's not logical. If I was mad about capitalism and started screaming at salamanders for it you wouldn't say I found a way to blame salamanders. You'd call me insane. Let's call a duck a duck ay?
Why is the family of the president even a big deal? Or any deal at all. What is it, a monarchy? I guess now it is.
If Trump could, he would turn USA into a monarchy. Right now he just settles for all the features of one. Every baron of tech went to his palace to grovel at the throne.
Greenland should have considered it an act of war that Trump sent his idiot son to harangue them.
Because Trump made all his kids advisors to the president last time he was in office.
Is this all just more misdirection from the actual horrible stuff they are doing?
Another Greenland LOOK OVER THERE! moment.
That was his entire first term. I think that’s what’s expected from season 5 of 2017 too.
How many people were aware that Trump rolled back 112 climate and safety regulations in his first term? What about quintupling farm subsidies for corporations, effectively disqualifying smaller farms from staying in the market? Or moving covid reporting from the CDC to HHS in June of 2020, coinciding with a flattened curve of contractions relative to the rest of the world, while somehow still leading the world in deaths?
Indeed, the Orange Shitstain's trade war with China backfired and he increased farm subsidies, socialism, from $4 billion to over $20 billion. The dumb mofo will repeat this after he loses his next trade war.
"They're just distracting us" has to be the weirdest thing people say about politics. "They're looking stupid to distract us from their stupid?"
Who can't pay attention to more than one thing?
It's not just two things, it's multiple things. Daily. It's absolutely hard to keep up with, and then hard to keep caring when you run out of fucks to give. Most people disengage
Have you ever done something wrong, or that people perceive as wrong, and thought to yourself "I should go piss in the public fountain so that people will forget about it"?
It's ridiculous.
Yes. In fact, there's a very old joke about fucking one goat... People often focus on one thing to the exclusion of others. Ask the average american to name 10 trump atrocities, and they likely can't, despite thousands of (documented!!!) episodes of ugliness.
Can you name 10 atrocities? I assume so. If most people can't it's not because there have been so many it's because they don't generally pay as much attention as you.
And if you can - then the "distraction" isn't working now is it?
Most people? That’s why he’s about to be president again.
I honestly don't understand this line of thought.
You think people hear about "all this weird shit he's doing" and somehow that hides... Something else? And then people don't realize how aweful he is because of "all this weird shit"???
This has to be the stupidest line of thought ever.
