Remember this shit when the trump trolls post their anti-vote bullshit. This is what will happen if they get their way.

Of course he did. He’s just the typical caveman Republican. Their answer to anything they don’t like or don’t want to deal with us to kill it. Like whatsername shooting the inconvenient dog that she couldn’t be bothered to train or find a home for. Repeat shoplifter in jail for the 5th time? Just execute them, waste of jail space. Country full of brown people of a religion they don’t like? Just nuke it. Migrants crossing your property trying to get to the US out of Mexico? Just shoot ‘em. People whose politics they disagree with and find annoying? Shoot them too.

He wanted to nuke a hurricane. When all you have is a hammer, everything is a nail.

When you’re too stupid and lazy to actually think and learn, you mash the easy button.

For all the analyses out there attempting to explain conservatism, that really seems to strike the nail squarely on the head.

If this were a dictatorship it would be a heck of a lot easier... as long as I'm the dictator. Hehehe.

"Stunning"? How? This is the least "stunning" thing I've heard. Trump is a piece of shit. This 100% checks out.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 55 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (5 children)

You know, at a certain point, if he doesn’t shut up, it crossed the line into justification for his assassination.

I don’t know where that line is, and quite honestly, I hope we don’t have to find out because the last thing we need is that guy as a martyr.

But I really hope he shuts the fuck up.

[–] Neato@ttrpg.network 82 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Trump committed treason on national TV when he asked Russia to help him get elected in 2016...and they did the next day.

We're way past that point.

The last few elections and the clusterfuck of a primary show that nobody can run on trump but trump.

So... No worries about him being a martyr.

This is stunning but not a revelation about a wannabe dictator asking SCOTUS for a Long Knife.
