President Trump ripped Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as “seriously retarded” – and suggested Rep. Ilhan Omar “probably came into the USA illegally” – in a rage-filled Thanksgiving message about immigration.
Gotta give my support to Tim Walz and Ilhan Omar, got it.
Trump doesn’t even understand elementary school math
Ha ha ha, I love Walz:
Walz responded to Trump’s vicious attack by questioning the president’s own mental state.
“Release the MRI results,” Walz wrote on X, referring to the results of Trump’s latest medical checkup, which he touted at the time as “perfect.”
How a man this crass managed to be President twice, I’ll never know. What a fucking disgrace…
Fox has people brainwashed.
He represents half the country.
How a man this crass managed to be President twice
He was elected for being who he is, not despite.
We’ve heard this line before but if you actually read exit polls you get a simultaneously smarter and more depressing view of politics in this country.
Trump was really good at appealing directly to the nation’s strongest political capital force, which is the segment of our population who are armed, scared, dumber than toenails, insanely patriotic and can be made to vote for anything without hesitation or research. These are the kinds of forces that have built and destroyed nations over and over, of COURSE the entire establishment Republican and Democrat parties are going to salivate at the idea of one man able to hold so much power and do everything to keep him in the news cycle.
As for voters, most Americans aren’t on Lemmy or Reddit or listening to political podcasts. They’re listening to music and distraction and anything to get through their mind-numbing days and insecurity about the future. They get 30 minutes of political memes and clips of Joe Rogan on facebook once a week. They had no idea what they were doing at the voting booths, they said as much. The most common responses paint the clear picture that people didn’t remember anything from his first term or were also checked out, and everyone was pissed at the price of groceries and Biden was the president so they drew that association between cost of eggs and Biden’s face, and Harris seemed like more of Biden. These aren’t even unique patterns in politics, there are names for them.
Trump, despite being dour and nasty and never smiled or laughed, that makes him seem more human than the alternatives who make it onto the national stage. He might not be honest, but he’s genuine, and that difference is what made a lot of hopeless, uninformed Americans literally shrug and say “lets see what happens.”
The horror-movie punchline here is that it will happen again. And again. And again.
I have lived a half century watching these cycles. We’ve been here before.
which is the segment of our population who are armed, scared, dumber than toenails, insanely patriotic and can be made to vote for anything without hesitation or research.
That’s not patriotism. They’re nationalists. That they don’t know the difference makes it even worse.
Voter fraud. Social media mass manipulation. Scapegoating.
Old tricks but still work.
Because a plurality of Americans are equally crass, ignorant, selfish, and evil.
Hes the perfect representation of the american spirit
Republicans got desperate. They also only vote R.
“Seriously Retarded”, you say, an ableist slur, and a self confession simultaneously, coming from someone exhibiting increasing signs of dementia.
I don’t understand why people with power or a platform don’t just literally make fun of him more with playground insults. Like dumdum donny or stupid brain hairpiece or something. He’s so thin skinned he’d spend all his time responding to insults rather than fuck up the country more.
Projection.
Drumpf is now fearing that the talk is right and he is mentally disabled.
“Somalian gangs are roving the streets looking for ‘prey’ as our wonderful people stay locked in their apartments and houses hoping against hope that they will be left alone”
I’ve never met a Somali that wasn’t a friendly sort having lived here my whole life. Had one bring in some of these pretty awesome dumpling things called sambusa(?) once to work just cause reasons. Very chill bunch far as I’ve ever seen.
It’s funny how conservatives the world over trot out the same tired conspiracy theories. The conservative parties in Australia have regularly tried out the ‘African gangs’ idea without much success.
Yup, sambusa. They’re similar to samosas that you get in various forms all over South and South-East Asia. Delicious stuff.
That inbred, diaper-wearing dementia patient has no fucking business talking about anything.
❌Thanksgiving
✔️HatespewingWhy does anyone have any respect for the office of the president?
It’s been a joke for quite sometime already.
When Thanksgiving became Insultgiving!
