    Other counties need to start issuing arrest warrants for this stupid fuck. He is a multi time felon, rapist, and child rapist, grifter, thief…

    He shouldn’t be allowed in other countries. Fuck, he should be in jail in this one…

      he would be in jail if he didn’t get the idea to run for president a second time.

      Let’s just hope that we see the whole trials thing re-emerge once he is done, that has the best chances of locking him up (dare I say 100% ?). Though I do feel that he deserves worse, whatever that may be.

    But according to his memo, it’s not about oil, it’s about establishing control of the entire western hemisphere. He also said Europe is on their own dealing with threats in the Asian continent. But apparently North and South America are all just America now. I guess the gulf was just rebranding. He’s offering to deal with Mexican cartels too. Apparently America First means all of the Americas.

    I wonder what his “declared” drone count is? They don’t report these as much as they used to, does that mean they are no longer using drones to attack opponents across the globe?

    Ha! Just kidding. Of course they are, they just don’t report it.

    p.s. the declared drone count is over 2200, more than Obama. Mercy, that means there must be something like 22,000 strikes.

    And this is why he illegally sabotaged all those wind and solar projects, because they would compete with this planned oil “acquisition.”

    Because the “peace president” stuff was just self-deluding from previous campaign of baiting the left (read: everyone left of Mussolini, previously everyone left of Thatcher) into taking the moral high ground.

    Innuendo Studios made the video “We go low, you go high”, in his series on alt-right tactics. However this tactic is way more widespread, and doesn’t just involve establishment democrats, but leftists everywhere, and similar behavior patterns happen so much on the scene, a lot of “cancel culture” actually happened due to rightists convincing leftists to “call out the hypocrites”, and often try and succeed on the strawman of what leftism is.

    A lot of TERFs were birthed like that too. But the whole “peace” stuff was to cede the left on imperialistic wars, that if the aggressor has some concerns, they must blame the victims for those wars, and callout the victims if they’re defending themselves.

        Oh yeah the “tHiRd pArTy”.

        That was painful when tankies were all over the place screaming gEnOcIdE if people didn’t vote third party. Especially for a non USAnien.

      This way of thinking is exactly why wars like this happen. You fucking complacent little cowards. It’s always someone else’s fault, it’s either the non-voters or some Arabs or Russians. It’s never you. Sitting there jerking off to CNN war footage while your hard earned shekels are financing the misery of the rest of the fucking world. Thank you for enlightening us who really REALLY is responsible for those bombs falling right now on some poor and powerless, like usual. You useless maggots!

        That’s not what they said. They said non-voters helped enable this. And they’re right.

        If you voted for Trump, you caused this. If you voted against Trump, you tried to prevent it. And if you’re allowed to vote but didn’t, you’re at the very least OK with this happening.

          They said nothing. They promoted their genociders and rapists to be better than these current genociders and rapists in the White House. I got one thing wrong tho: Maggots are actually quite useful little buggers, unlike these “democratic” bots. Sorry maggots for comparing you to these robots.

          Fuck you all because you as a country was born of atrocities, that’s only gotten more rotten. People that never had the balls to stand up for anything except choosing the “lesser evil”, blaming every little incompetence, failures, mistakes and shit it causes on someone else, all while claiming to be a “democracy” and the leader of the free world.

          Get a spine fucking losers. Or not, blame someone else again like always.

            Somehow it’s mostly ml, dbzero, and the rare blahjah or ca accounts that post things this stupid.

            Newsflash- your idealism is nothing if it doesn’t lead to actual change. And if you took more than two seconds to stop sniffing your own farts youd realize a fptp system never allows for more than two parties. So maybe your vitriol would be better served changing a party but that would require action and accepting that your pie in the sky bullshit is fanciful and not realistic.

            You twit, the person to whom you’re replying is from the fucking Netherlands. People can disagree with an idiot and not be from the group the idiot despises.

              I mean, the Netherlands also has some pretty serious genocide, colonialism and oppression in its foundations. That’s not wrong.

              OP is very wrong though.
