And in another five years, I’m sure he’ll look even worse. But will he still be breathing out that noxious brew of smarm and bigotry?

Kissinger looked like this in his 80s and made it another 20 years.

Don’t hold your breath.

If I had a dollar every time I heard “Politician I hate definitely has late stage physical/mental illness and will be going away shortly”, I’d be rich enough to blow millions bankrolling corrupt NYC mayoral candidates who promised to keep my taxes low.

Trump appears healthier than Cheney and Cheney lasted five years longer than Trump is right now. So don’t hold your breath.

Who keeps giving Grok a gun?

My cat won’t talk to the police.

My dog won’t shut up about how he’s a free canine on the land and the postman refused to make joinder.

Please read the article you yourself

Buddy, you can try reading past the first paragraph. There’s an extended back and forth in the interview discussing the violence around these bases and their broad unpopularity.

over half of my fellow Americans are morons who overrode my vote

“How about we try voting”

“This doesn’t count, I voted but then other people voted the opposite way”

Maybe the problem is that people on Lemmy don’t understand what an election is.

But the key here is that voting worked one of those times

Oh yeah. Famously, all the fascism in America stopped existing on January 6th, 2021.

That’s why everyone was at the US Capital celebrating.

Or bearded. You can be a clean shaven, tan, even a woman and the meme still works.

Nobody in the United States has ever tried to vote against a fascist dictator?

instant armed combat

Who do you think is actually organized an armed uprising against Trump? How do you think they’re doing it “instantly”?

So you believe people in Korea, Japan, and the Philippines at the highest levels of power just… want this for their people? Or do you think they’re so beaten down they don’t believe in their own capacity for self-defense?

Random, but did you know an alternate name for Russians where I live is “occupiers”?

I mean, you keep coming back to Russians, as though you think they’re a different species.

I guess you’d call them, what? Orks?

Japan Taiwan Philippines South Korea

Nuclear proliferation will follow

Why would an occupied territory hosting US nuclear weapons build their own nuclear arsenal?

Why would the US allow them to do so?

No - literally rivers were on fire.

BP lit the Gulf on fire a while back. Nevermind the drought induced wildfires all through the Mountain West.

And gay bashing was mainstream, fully tolerated, very common.

Texas Senate Bill 12 is bringing it back.

Lakes were turning clear like swimming pools due to acid rain - kinda pretty, but totally dead.

We had a climate-related disaster every four days last year.

Rivers on fire, gay bashing, satanic panic, abortion clinic bombings, acid rain…

Okay, but we have all of that now, too. What was different?

Things are working great and you people need to quit complaining

Won’t matter. Americans aren’t going to be allowed to read Mandarin.

Modem Holocaust complete with an industrial scale cover up.

We’re going to be reading history books written by Israelis in US classrooms that tell all about their glorious war of liberation in another ten years.
