How can you possibly think you are on the right side of things as you call in a bomb threat on a school?

I just don’t understand how these people can think their tactics are morally justified.

USA politics are truly something to behold.

It’s too hard to accurately put into words how it looks from the outside.

The closest would be that it’s an absolute joke and the whole world laughs at you.

I don’t know anyone laughing though. I do know a lot of people that look at it and worry. The blatant lying, the calls to violence, the open fascism, cult like following… If this tips the wrong way, the children of the future will be learning about jan6 and what is to come like we learn about the night of the long knifes.

The example Trump is teaching the whole world is that there are no consequences if you just double down and keep saying insane shit while throwing your weight around. And even federal judges will bend for you à

I know a lot of people who laugh at it, but then again, I’m not from the US.

And Trump isn’t really teaching the world anything. If he’s teaching anything it’ll be how the US allows this dumpsterfire.

As people in countries from Brazil to India can tell you- this is not a U.S. problem. It’s a right-wing populism problem.

It’s like watching a drunk gorilla in a weird dress stumbling around, doing ridiculous things while acting tough.
It would be funny, except you’re stuck inside the room with it, it’s holding a rocket launcher, and half the people in the room with you are imitating its moves.

“Problems” are always enhanced by politicians. Look at where you are in life, it’s actually quite beautiful compared to what they try to make you believe. It even has toiletpaper.

And you may find yourself in a beautiful bathroom, on a beautiful toilet

That’s because he really does believe it. If you listen to him say he heard it on TV it is the most genuine statement he has ever made. It’s like a child telling you exactly what they saw on TV.

If you’re looking for someone to sue it would have to be the “sources” Trump heard the information from. Unfortunately I’m confident those people understand the ruse. They know to say allegedly. They know how to utilize weasel words.

Oh man. “I saw it on TV!”. Exact same intonation my 4yo used when he saw a “trailer” for Mario Movie 2 when actually it was just some junk a highschool kid threw together in iMovie. Totally belief and innocent ignorance.

It’s at that moment I realized that Trump isn’t just a useful idiot. He’s the perfect useful idiot.

Like a part of me thinks that Trump might actually believe in Santa and that he looks an awful lot like that guy in the power tool show and sounds an awful lot like Buzz Lightyear.

His niece, Mary Trump, knows him well and is a licensed clinical psychologist. She’s spoken and written extensively on his mental disorders (normally a psychologist won’t do that publicly, but she’s said he’s such a danger to the nation, she feels she has no choice).

She’s well worth reading and listening to.

He has the best brain. The greatest brain. One time, for some unknown reason, he took a cognitive test meant for dementia patients. He supposedly passed but he claimed it was hard for him. Such a stable genius.
