Dang… he’s still alive. Maybe tomorrow.
From your lips to the ears of God 🙏
Again? He was saying the same thing his first term
He’s moving quicker this term, and he has purged most of the people who might oppose him.
Release the Trump/Epstein files
I would say this is impeachable if they already didn’t make such a joke out of the punishment.
Anyone But Trump, 2028
Also, where are the Epstein files?If we’ve learned anything from 2024, it’s that this won’t fly… Sign needs to say “Looking for Unicorn to run for President, otherwise we’ll get trump again”

Oh, you must have just been born, or woken up from an 8 year long coma…
Anyway. Donald Trump has become the president… twice, and each time he was running against someone who was notably, not trump.

If there’s anything we learned from 2024, it’s that we need to all get behind the same person instead of not voting or voting third party instead. The game sucks, but if we don’t play it, we lose, and if we don’t play it, there’s no working towards getting any other systems in place (ranked tier voting or whatever it’s called, or any if the other even better systems), and if we son’t play it, fascism takes over.
A divided left means the right wins.
inb4 “YoU’rE nOt ThE lEfT” memes - that shit is part of the problem and is allowing fascism to take over, so anyone posting that can fuck off with that unhelpful shit.
no. the game is rigged and it’s time to stop playing by the rules until the rules are enforced fairly. if you think you can vote your way out of the fascism you’re dead fucking wrong.
The other thing we should learn is that primaries matter. Primaries are where you vote for the person you want, general elections are where you vote against the one you don’t.
Please make sure it isn’t Newsom.
I wouldn’t vote for him in the primary, but if he was the option in the general, I’d vote for him. Compromise is inherent to democracy.
I agree with pragmatism in elections, but experience has shown that centrist liberals are generally not capable of turning around a drift towards the far right, because they buy into the same economic policies and priorities that make people desperate enough to give the fascists an opportunity. At best, electing a liberal puts the brakes on for a while. The only way to turn it around electorally would be to put up candidates who are very clearly working for the people, and to convince voters that these candidates work for their interests while the fascists serve the oligarchs. Liberals will never do this because they work for the wealthy too.
If you’re hurtling towards disaster, shouldn’t you try the brakes even if you think they aren’t going to work? We can’t move the United States to the left as long as far right authoritarians are being voted into office. Once some stability is established, we can start working towards more progressive policies. If given the chance between voting for the right and voting for the centrist, I’m going to pick the centrist every time. The only alternative is violence, which is a last resort in my mind (and we’re getting awfully fucking close).
We’ve had elections during a war before and we can do it again. Ukrainian laws don’t apply to the US.
If the war was closer or even inside the US, it might be a different thing. I wouldn’t be surprised if he could still consider it though.
1864 begs to differ.
I can’t help but feel like a civil war is a different scenario. Russia currently controls 20% of Ukraine. For the sake of simplicity, that’s 10 US states. I have a very hard time believing that if a foreign country had complete control of 10 states, and the majority of the people of those states, for all intents and purpose were unable to vote, an election would go over smoothly. I have to imagine it would be an utter shitshow.
Practically, if the US was actually occupied by a foreign force (having a puppet president doesn’t count), then the occupied areas will not be able to cast their ballots, and the states being partially occupied will have a biased result and electors will be appointed by those living in unoccupied areas. If a whole state is occupied, they probably would have electoral votes that are not cast (since they wouldn’t have a certificate of ascertainment from the now defunct state government). Election would get very ugly even if its a 51/49 split in the remaining electoral college votes since if, say, a state with 18 electors is occupied, one side could get 265 electoral votes and the other gets 255 electoral votes, so there would be a constitutional crisis on whether this counts as a majority (265/520) or not a majority (265/538).
But I’m guessing they’ll go by Civil War precedent and just exclude the occupied states from being counted so its probably 520 as the total electoral votes using that same example.
Don’t forget 1812 either.
Yeah, the law pertaining to not holding elections during martial law in Ukraine was created during another person’s presidency as well. He didn’t make that. (It stemmed from Russias invasion into Ukraine in 2014, law made in 2015). Zelensky didn’t become president until 2019.
I’m convinced putin recommended this.
Not sure. Putin has other means of staying in power, like killing political opponents, disillusion and propaganda. The reason he invaded Ukraine is because he is an irredentist bozo that wants his beloved Soviet Union back, not because he was threatened.
He recommended that Trump do it, they mean.
So who’s he going to invade? Mexico or Canada?

My money is on Canada.
- Nice, desirable natural resources like fresh water, lumber, and oil.
- Plenty of non-immigrant immigrants to feed the
legal slaveryprison industrial complex. - Control over arctic trade passages.
And he’s been laying the propaganda and groundwork for months now:
- “joking” about Canada being the 51st state.
- Claiming Canada is the source of illegally imported Fentanyl, despite overwhelming evidence that almost all of it comes from Mexico.
- Harsher tariffs than other allied countries, using Fentanyl as the justification for it.
Oh for sure - all the Trunp rhetoric is pretext for war on Canada. Luckily there’s quite a few things Americans don’t know about us - and we’re gonna keep it that way until the last minute.
Mexico, Canada or civil war. Just be as belligerent as possible to everyone and see who takes the bait.
I’ll bet in private he’s going nuts that no one has so far. “What the hell do I gotta do to these people?!”
Civil War 2: Election Boogaloo
If he tries to invade Canada, Canada’s gonna party like it’s 1814 and we gonna light up the WH - again.
He learned from Netanyahu.
THE FILES
THE PHILES
Won’t change anything
It certainly will. Might not change how he acts or the support he has, but it will change the name I call MAGA or any person that would ever entertain supporting him - past, present or future.
Reality is consensus.
This isn’t a joke it’s testing the waters.
This is always how he starts things.
yeah love how they always call it jokes. The only jokes trump involves himself with is himself and the people he brings into his circle.
And if he does that. Expect people to do some nasty business in response to his dictatorship.
I really don’t have hope in Americans to do so. I hope I’m wrong.
The only hope I have left is the hope that I’m wrong.
He’s not testing the waters.
He’s normalizing the illegal discourse.
Trump doesn’t joke
9/10 chance trump tries to cite the Ukrainian Constitution, then putin simultaneously tries to de-legitimize Zelenskyy.
Before any tries to use that as an excuse, let me say this: Ukraine has a different history, different circumstances, resulting in a different “social contract”, you cannot apply a foreign country’s constitution in your own country. Besides, all of their political parties have already agreed to postpone until after the war.
Industrial strength “Joking” being used in this headline.
Trump has no sense of humor nor has he ever told a joke.
Joking?
yea, you know just like how he “joked” about rounding up brown people, or cut most people’s medical aid, or destroy the american soft power.
you know, just funny things he would totally never ever do, because that would mean his voters are retarded.
guys guys he’s just joshing around. he’s not actually gonna use the world’s most notoriously influential military power to invade mexico or greenland when the economy fails and he needs to steal a bunch of shit to prop it up. those invasion plans theyre planning are just for funzies trust me bro
If we got through WWII, with troops scattered around the world, without canceling elections or even disenfranchising the soldiers fighting overseas, he has no excuse. (How did a solider in France, a sailor in the Philippine Sea, or a marine on Leyte Island vote? Mail-in ballots.)
