    Among the great tragedies of our time is the fact that this slimy rapist dirtbag conman isn’t already yesterday’s news. Fade the fuck away, Donald.

    The American right are beyond pathetic that this whining fat orange bitch is the best they’ve been able to come up with for 3 consecutive election cycles. At best he’s a distraction from the shit our country needs to do and at worst he’s a danger to the entire world, us included. Demented dotard belongs in jail and nowhere near the levers of power.

      No, we have other better options, but liberals will refuse to vote for anyone who they haven’t had led to them by the DNC establishment, and then act like everyone else is enabling fascism by suggesting actual leftist leadership.

        Why do you think that regular voters get to decide who the DNC candidate is during a Democratic incumbent administration?

        If you abstain from voting because you equate Biden to be as bad as Trump, Trump will be the next President. Don’t be a fucking idiot.

          I’m afraid of it but I agree with you because “Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity” so it’s very much possible for the orange leader to occupy the White House again, and possibly for the rest of his days.

      These manipulative headlines only help Trump. In the same speech he says he is the only person who can stop WW3. A ridiculous statement that only a cult leader would say. He also said that Biden approved Nord Stream on day 2 of his presidency which is a complete lie. Nord Stream 1 was blown up and then Biden got Germany to cancel Nord Stream 2. The opposite of what Trump said. There is plenty of valid criticisms and no need to be manipulative of Trump’s words.

          Right, but every new article seems to treat him with a blank slate. You could write a completely unbiased true article saying “Convicted rapist who wants to be dictator ‘for day one’ of his presidency says that he’ll use the ‘success of the US’ as his ultimate revenge.”

          The news fucking kowtows to this fascist’s feelings far too much IMO. Seems biased in the opposite direction, just so they can maintain a “neutral” tone.

          edit: of course all news has bias, I meant truth instead

    I’m genuinely creeped out that someone saying these things can have so much support. Honestly I just want to go home and hide under the bed. A year ago when people said things about Trump like “authoritarian” and “fascist” and whatever else it was kinda true but also some hyperbole. Now it’s just plain true.

    Sure sounds like Trump is a big threat. I may not know much but it seems like cutting off arms supply to Israel would be a bargain if it means this guy doesn’t get elected again. I’m sure some moderate will come in and educate me on why they should get to have their cake and eat it too.

            Are leftists a minor wing that’s too small to be compromised with? Because if so it’s impossible for us to hold democracy hostage. Moderates are the majority voting bloc. They bear the lions share of the responsibility for any outcome. They elected Joe Biden in the primaries, they’re responsible for how he does in the general elections.

            I think Biden makes compromises. That’s the leftists argument against him. But here he’s probably weighing the cost of pissing off a Jewish block of support and leftists.

            I also doubt it’s much of a choice. The leftist won’t support him regardless because he’s not bernie sanders.

          I’m sure when you vote for Biden he will get the message that you’re against genocide.

            Well done, you certainly changed my mind. Before my posts were like, “yay genocide” but now I’m all, “genocide’s bad.”

            What pablum you feed yourself.

              I don’t give a fuck about changing your mind, just trying to remind the plebians of the fact that the lesser of two evils is literally engaged in genocide at the moment.

              Keep smelling your own farts and patting yourself on the backs for being better than the republicans though, hopefully when trump wins again you cowards will finally get a taste of your own medicine.

                I don’t think you’ll succeed much by referring to anyone as a plebian. It’s just animosity for animosity’s sake.

                  I’m glad 30,000 dead civilians is hilarious to you. Thank you for putting it in writing.

                People like you probably don’t even care about genocide. After all, I don’t see these same “accounts” standing up for Ukraine with such passion. You’re just a stooge who wants Trump to win because you’re a shill, some dumb “burn it all to the ground” idiot, or both.

                  If we were sending missles to fucking Russia it’d be comparable. Now you’re starting to get it lol.

        You say this as if Ol’ Trumpie boy wouldn’t also contribute to both the Palestinian genocide AND the Ukrainian one

          So then when he’s the president doing the genocide I’ll shit talk him. Pretty basic stuff.

          We should just ignore his fascist ramblings and not mobilize people to vote against him? Nah. This stuff needs to be broadcast as widely as possible. Sorry if you’re bored though. Spend some time away from social media I guess.

      Trump is in the WWE Hall of Fame.

      His venues have hosted Wrestlemanias, and he and Vince had a hair vs hair feud that culminated in a Wrestlemania match - Trump won.

      No idea why this isn’t brought up more - the WWF in the late 90s was incredibly vulgar, racist, and sexist. And Trump intentionally associated with it. Why is that never discussed?
