And yet they're surprised and mad when y'all do it back to them. Funny how the rhetoric from them changes once their own shit gets flung back on them. Maybe Putin shouldn't be trying to invade other countries... I wish Mr. Orange would take note with his own illegal war.

He did but he has dementia so he is colouring on the walls again. Something about building the wall it will be yuge and it will be called the Great freedom Wall of America

And the Gulf of America, and Lake America, and, possibly in the future, the Great Ocean of America (he literally "joked" about renaming the Atlantic ocean)

This timeline is a joke, I just hope I'm alive long enough to see the time where we're laughing about how stupid things were "back in the mid 2020's"

u/Delimeme 15h ago

I hope we can laugh too, but I’m worried we’re too far gone for it to turn around into mockery at a wide scale. Or if it does, that it’ll be useless speech on corporatized social media platforms, not institutionally backed places like schools. Lord help us all. My optimism tanks are running reaaally low

People are going to get really fucking serious when the heatwave and price of food hit. These GOP and oligarchs are not prepared.

Their control is an illusion that they themselves have bought into

As bad as y'all say or think it's been under the Orange Man, imagine how over this country would be had Kamaltoe won! 🤮😳😱

u/Shalea68 15h ago

Don't forget Greenland. He'll call it Americaland or something like that. He's like a dog pissing on everything to claim its territory. Except, dogs are closer to being human than he will ever be.

u/Bananaland_Man 14h ago

and Puerto America, and Americuba, and Amerizuela...

Atp let’s rename USA the united joke of America

I hate how much I'd prefer to take this over other nonsense happening.

Trumpty Dumpty "forgets" (as if this "dumba$$" ever learned it in the first place [lest we forget, he ranked as one of the worst students in his graduating classes!]) that all the continents on this side of the globe already have "America" in their names (North, Middle & South America!)

u/RealOrangeKoi 8h ago

The first day in office of the next prez, they sure as shit better undo the gulf of america and lake america bs. (I know it was just a shit attempt at a distraction and to piss people off, but it just makes us look bad)

u/No_Ninja2180 9h ago

Atlantic?!? Come on, you know he’ll target the biggest, deepest, and most greatest ocean…the Pacific.

1

u/Bananaland_Man 5h ago

not gonna lie, I went back to relisten to his "joke" and he said "pacific or Atlantic or maybe both of them, who knows" or something like that... wild after renaming gulf of Mexico and lake Ontario and wanting to take Canada, Venezuela, Puerto Rico, Greenland..

“ The Orange Days “….. that’s what I’m going to tell my grands and great grands what this timeline was.

u/QwipQwop_007 5h ago

And the Trump Strait instead of the Hormuz Strait (not Strait of Hormuz)

u/DoomKayKay 5h ago

The real planets name, we're living on, is America, didn't you know?

u/ReignbowBlack 2h ago

Sadly I don't think we will last that long. With everything that's going on. I agree about this timeline, now they turned off cern for reprogrammed notice time is going back to being slow and it's getting darker earlier than usual? What is cern doing now. Also I thought we were going to drill oil over here.

u/zerothreeonethree 2h ago

I hope I'm alive then too but I won't be laughing at anything that's causing millions of people so much suffering. Think about the Holocaust. Treat all misery the same way. Don't laugh at it.

u/CannedHeat2828 8h ago

Im still laughing about the dementia comment above. Biden didnt even know he was President a week after he left office, but Orange Man has lost his faculties? Classic.

u/Aggravating-Exit-660 14h ago

colouring the walls

With his own fucking faeces. He’s a contemptible little shit.

u/inspirationalSloth 11h ago

It’s bold of you to assume his shits are solid enough to colour the walls

2

u/Aggravating-Exit-660 10h ago

solid

Diarrhea is literally watercolours for schizos

u/Bananaland_Man 9h ago

i hear he's bigger than a little shit... xD those videos of people's faces near him...

u/No-Feedback-221 7h ago

I laughed at “yuge”. That’s exactly how he says it

u/Aldo_says 14h ago

Meanwhile google and Tim Apple will latch onto it like their billions depended on public opinion.

u/Dubalubawubwub 10h ago

Someone should take the paint off of him... ohhhhh... that's not paint...

u/Independent_Pop_9987 10h ago

I wish I could speak my mind on here but I cant I'll get banned lol but man I hate people. Too many people are exactly like putin they just don't have power like he does.

u/Goikebiergu 8h ago

Also Russian civilians will just film their burning refineries from next to their windows or even in the fucking streets because they know the AFU won't target them unlike the fascist scum in their own army will Ukrainian civilians.

2

u/Bananaland_Man 6h ago

Yup! Ukraine specifically targeted refineries after hours (so there were less casualties), while Russia has targeted hospitals and schools and city centers in broad daylight while people were there purposefully targeting people.

2

u/windypine69 6h ago

but Ukraine isn't 'doing it back to them'. they are not on a campaign of terror, they are hitting ligit military targets and infrastructure. if that's terrorizing to russians, to damn bad.

u/Available_Usual_9731 15h ago

Typical conservative garbage, dontchaknow

u/Bananaland_Man 14h ago

ughhhh I hate the level of truth in this

u/Careless-Middle5816 9h ago

We have one dementia president followed by another right, although I still laugh at the fact that people said Biden didn’t have it or didn’t know he did.

u/Shephard546 9h ago

The last "Legal" war America was in was World War 2. Lol

Maybe it will take five years for Trump to learn from his stupid mistake too.

u/HellaHS 17h ago

You’re literally pushing Russian narratives about the U.S. attacks on Iran lol

7

u/Bananaland_Man 17h ago

because Russia attacking Ukraine is just as bad, if not worse, than Trump doing anything at all in Iran.

u/Bananaland_Man 16h ago

Yeah, and many citizens there agree with the sentiment...hell, categorically, most do... but they have to do it anonymously because freedom of speech is dead in those places, and dying here (sadly). Your comment doesn't make any of this better, and I'm glad I'm not in either place.

u/HellaHS 14h ago

The idea that freedom of speech is dying here is absolutely wild. Freedom of speech was completely DEAD until Elon bought X and Republicans took back power. You didn’t notice it because you were the ones censoring us.

The U.S. striking the Iranian leadership and their military used to support terrorism around the region was the right thing to do.

I get that you people don’t like Israel, but Iran funding all these terror networks attacking civilians is what gives Israel the excuse to continue bombings.

Trump is trying to take it all off the table so the fighting stops, and if Israel acts out from there, they will have no excuse.

u/Bananaland_Man 14h ago

Freedom of speech has never lead to issues of government shutting it down until Trump didn't like what people said.

If you think freedom of speech has been dead for awhile, then you probably think websites and people shutting you down for saying things was an infringement, which has nothing to do with freedom of speech. There's a lovely xkcd for this, freedom of speech means the government won't act on you for saying shit. (hatespeech is not protected... and it's funny how in modern times hatespeech is more allowed by the administration than people speaking out against it) it does not protect you from communities saying what you say is bad or bannable.

u/HellaHS 13h ago

A complete misunderstanding of the Biden Administration. The Biden Administration was applying massive pressure to social media websites to censor anyone questioning covid.

Beyond that, yes, there was also just greesy little communist weasels like you working at these companies shutting down and banning anyone who went against their narratives.

1

u/Bananaland_Man 13h ago

No? the Biden administration tried to put down false things, like people calling covid a hoax, and stuff like that... and rather focus on the actual science and truth, like from the cd and even international sources... they were only telling people to stop giving false "cures", "hoax" controversies, etc.

it didn't put people in jail or sue them, it pressured social media and got aggressive when they refused to stop literal misinformation... it didn't sue people, it sued social media companies for proliferation of actual misinformation... and also warn against disinformation. current administration is suing individuals for lying when they're not and worse...

As a US citizen, I feel we entirely deserve whatever clap back we get because of the actions of the Trump regime.

Maybe that will get the attention of those that say 'there's no difference between the two parties why should I vote?'

But it probably won't.

Because those that say that sort of claptrap swallow, propaganda, hook, line, and sinker. And I suspect they would have to live in utter ruins to get the point.

u/Bananaland_Man 6h ago

It's such a shit situation. And the suppression of media has made it harder for population in smaller counties (who make up the majority of the country) with less access to stable internet or more than local cable (and most local networks are owned by ONE far-right company!)... ugh... wake me up when the ride's over =x.x=

u/PolkaDotDancer 6h ago

Wake me up when these crooked fookers face The Hague!
