    I can’t be arsed to get bent out of shape over this guy’s every provocation. What more is there to say? As long as this guy, or the power structure that backs him, is in charge over there the US is an enemy.

      I agree on the second point. As long as the power backers are still there, and they aren’t going anywhere short of a civil war, the USA is an enemy. Even if they elect someone else nothing changes.

      I disagree on the first point. Yes, his verbal diarrhea is so continuous and stupid that it’s hard to keep listening, but everyone needs to take it seriously. Hopefully, without giving him much attention. By posting images like this and spouting similar sound bites he’s questioning the legitimacy of these countries sovereignty. If as a global community we start accepting that, then it’s a slippery slope to accepting that these countries aren’t “countries” worthy of their sovereignty. Then his map happens.

        Well, the thing is, I am in a constant state of taking it seriously. It doesn’t help me to get my blood pressure up every time Trump goes looking for a reaction. We must simply do the work of removing their ability to coerce us.

    GOP neo-confederates and establishment DNC enablers are responsible for everything the Dementia King has done.

      establishment DNC enablers

      Saying anything other than “neoliberals” just lets the ones that are the problem hide.

      They don’t control the DNC anymore, but they want people to think they do and you’re helping.

      If you don’t like them, start pushing for a progressive in 2028, if they win, they name the DNC chair for their entire four year term.

      The more progressives abstain from the Dem primary, the more likely it is the most progressive option loses.

      You’re punching yourself in the face buddy

    Haha. It’s such a bad image too. The added stars and stripes don’t match or line up. Don’t they have access to better AI?

      They definitely don’t give him access to anything good. Probably think his demented mind is too great a risk to ruining their models.

      … … …

      Maybe we should crowdfund him having root access.
