Now this is a distraction from Epstein.

Federalizing US cities and shipping homeless people to death camps is not a distraction.

I'm sure this is just a distraction from the Epstein files, but at least it will be good if it happens and not nuclear armageddon

Yeah, but...

Do you really want any good memories to be made that some would give him credit for? Especially this. I don't wanna be diving home with my latest stash haul thinking "thanks trump" as I go on my merry way without legal worry.

I'm totally convinced he knows absolutely nothing of value, he just parrots whatever he's told to say. Whenever he says anything about something being "the greatest", "the biggest", "the biggest" etc, the absolute most charitable interpretation I have is that some "expert" summarized something for him (because he can't read) and that's how they referred to it with him.

He never explains why whatever things is the biggest or whatever, he never contextualizes it. He's simply verbally checking a box that the real powers that be tell him to. He's too stupid to be in charge of everything. He's too stupid to know how to wash his hands, or discuss anything off the cuff.

I mean anyone could trip up and say something stupid when the camera's rolling, but he isn't capable of saying anything above what a 4 year old could understand. He can't name all 50 states. He probably can't name 50 geographical locations at all. He couldn't tell you who's on the $50 bill without looking at it. He can't calculate 27 minus 9. He is literally completely brainless to the point I almost legit think people are working on early drafts of skin suits for evil AI bots.

I don't think it's naturally possible to be as stupid as him. He's coddled because the rest of the conservatives want the world to go their way and he's a useful proxy for that (for now) so they pretend to respect him until even they can't hide it anymore, and move on to probably a Hitler lookalike.

He is almost too dumb to breathe. If that wasn't automatic, he would definitely be dead. I mean we all would once we fall asleep, but he would die while awake unless they had someone in staff constantly reminding him. This paragraph isn't even sarcastic or exaggerating. I honestly think he would be too stupid to remember to breathe.

I want good policy. I'm not a trump fan either but hoping he never implements anything that I want seems like cutting off my nose to spite my face. Just take the W.

Democrats hesitancy gives opportunity for Trump.

Democrats expertly snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Im flabbergasted they not once tried to run on legal marijuana and they've fought Trump three times. A poll in 2023 found that 70% of the US was in favor of it and yet they did nothing with it.

Damn. I thought I'd subscribed to a community about trees

[–] jahtnamas@slrpnk.net 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

sorry if you feel duped, but afaik this nomenclature is a holdover from reddit

you might like !fruit@slrpnk.net and !treehuggers@slrpnk.net instead

Maybe pines and oaks are my gateway drug? Thanx for the recommendations
