Nice that nice

[simplicitus]

To be fair, if Trump tried this shit back in the day he’d be challenged to duals on a weekly basis.

Really forgetting the most obvious one

[oneeyedtripping]

Simpler times and I have no idea how long ago this was, feels like ages

[Sogge]

I just checked because i couldn’t remember either, it was January 14th, 2019.

so actually the “peak” of his first term, in some way.

[Marksman]

“I am firing you in 30 days dude who I don’t know, in the meantime don’t come to work or do anything or else”.

[Marksman]

He is above the law. This I’d not even at question any longer. He got elected so he can do whatever he wants.

Now that last president, we got to straighten him out. He is below the law, like any democratic president.

[Marksman]

To be fair the bad economy you created is much better at being bad than the good economy was at being good.

[microbet]

Ask the Narrator if the next Dem POTUS is going to investigate Trump.

Thank you to @foxandfriends for covering, supremely, the greatest political scandal in the history of the United States, OBAMAGATE. Fake News @CNN and Concast’s own MSDNC are only trying to make their 3 year Con Job just go away. They are embarrassed and don’t know what to do…

I keep re-reading this, trying to figure out how I’d react if I had read this on January 20, 2017. Like, I think I would have absolutely flipped the fuck out. We’ve been slowly boiling for so long, this just feels totally normal.

Honestly a lot of the blame should be on the dems. If Pelosi, AOC, Schumer, Bernie etc all came out immediately and said “masks are not needed, everything should be open hurr durr” we’d be way better off. Democrats would know they were wrong and would take proper precautions. All the MAGA chuds would wear masks and stay home just to go against the libtards. We’ve got to do some level 2 thinking to help save the idiots from their own idiocy.

I’ll do you one better. They could just all say that the most disgusting thing they’ve seen is MAGA people wearing Trump masks, and that in a decent society they’d be banned.

No lies to your own people, it’ll make them all proudly wear their MAGA masks. Downside is Trump’s campaign makes a bunch of money selling them masks, but fuck it, he’s going to make money selling them stupid shit anyway.

US military power is in steep decline, and diplomatic leadership/soft power is gone. We’re left with a ton of money, but money isn’t power in a geopolitical sense.

We’re basically where the Soviet Union was. On the exterior we still have a lot of military hardware, but on the inside, we’re crumbling. We’ll be an economic superpower for a while longer, but this definitely feels like the beginning of the end. Whether we end with a whimper or a bang is up in the air.

Our federal government will continue to get more and more dysfunctional, that much is clear. My guess is some of the bigger states like NY and California will try to institute some more autonomy and rebuke the fed. Local governments exerting control will become the norm. It will work in some cases, but without the stability, innovation will falter and companies start to jump ship.

It’s sort of depressing. You want to think that things are constantly moving forward, but we know that’s not true. I was born in 83, and am probably one of the youngest people who will have it better than their parents. The younger generations are going to grow up in a country with much fewer opportunities. My kids will definitely have it tougher than me, and that really bums me out. I’m doing what I can, but I can’t look them in the eye and say that I’m leaving a better world for them. History is full of two steps forward one step back progress, but it really sucks when your generation gets stuck in a step back.

In terms of stability, I think you’ll have enough of it in California, for example. I was thinking quite a bit about this yesterday, and I’m starting to believe that when the time comes, California will have no trouble with a Calexit, there will be no civil war over that. Rank and file Republicans outside of California hate California and would bid it good riddance. Republican politicians would looooooooove to see California go. Good luck to Democratic presidential candidates without those 55 electoral votes. If you expelled California right now, the GOP would have the House. Take away two Dem senators, as well.

It’ll hurt them economically, but the wealthy may not even care that much - their financial interests will cross those borders.

The problem comes when New England and Illinois are like, “Yo, WTF, we live in full-fledged Trumpistan now as a permanent minority.” I think when New England wants out, the GOP realizes that their economy is going to be fucked if they let it happen. At that point they’d have full control of the government and probably refuse to allow it, and that’s when shit gets REALLY unstable.

My thought is that if we get to that point (Calexit), I’m moving to California within a year. It would be the sixth biggest economy in the world, immediately become one of the top 5-10 Democracies, great weather in SoCal, beautiful place to live, and imagine what it could do without funneling money to the federal government to subsidize the Kentucky’s and Alabama’s of the world. I’d feel safer there with the upcoming instability, too.

All that said, we’re not drawing dead to fading some of the really bad outcomes here and/or slowing it down and basically freezing the situation for 5-10 years - which sucks in a lot of ways, but beats Trump installing the Fourth Reich. There’s still a significant chance Biden wins, and we have some AOC 2024 or 2028 equity. It’s important to remember that once we lose some of the Boomers and millennials start voting, this country is going to take a major left-ward shift.

I think in 15 years we’re either living in a flourishing social democracy, or the country is in the process of splitting apart. If we manage to hold onto democracy 10-15 years, Arizona is going to be blue and Texas is going to be purple at least (if we fade lots of cheating).

I am proud to announce that the United States will donate ventilators to our friends in India. We stand with India and @narendramodi during this pandemic. We’re also cooperating on vaccine development. Together we will beat the invisible enemy!

We don’t need 'em, cause our herd immunity strategy is just let everyone fucking die. No vents required for that!

The hackers added, “And to you voters, we can let you know that after such a publication, you certainly don’t want to see him as president. Well, let’s leave out the details. The deadline is one week.”

Clearly, they have not been paying attention to the whims of the American voters.

Imagine if you saw this on January 20, 2017 and it was dated 5/16/20, but you were given no other information. What the fuck would you even think? We’d probably have assumed the girl was making light of how disgusting Trump is, and Trump was too stupid to realize it, right?
