The same stupid motherfuckers that can't emotionally control themselves in the short term,

want de-regulation and remove oversight, so they aren't hindered when they make said stupid knee-jerk decisions.

And these are the idiots you put in charge and follow on decisions that put people's lives in jeopardy?

He's such a sniveling coward.

It's almost like it was a fake fight to distract from all the other shit going on. If only someone would have pointed that out to begin with.

[–] GiveOver@feddit.uk 64 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Conspiracy bullshit. Sometimes narcissists fall out when their feelings get hurt and they're likely to lash out. Not everything's a "distraction".

I've been reading comments about how every single thing Trump does is a "distraction" for over 8 years now. No, he's just a chaotic fascist moron.

[–] Bosht@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, people tend to give him way too much credit. Listen to the dude. He's a fucking narcissistic idiot. There's not enough going on between his ears to figure out where he's going tomorrow.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 7 points 8 months ago

Not to mention, WE KNOW. We know he and his fascist enablers are destroying the country. Anyone who doesn't know that now is willfully ignorant and no amount of "distracting" would make a difference.

[–] CluckN@lemmy.world 19 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Oh yeah? While you were distracted writing that response I tied your shoelaces together.

[–] GiveOver@feddit.uk 11 points 8 months ago

Shoelaces are where they hide the tracking chips I wouldn't be caught dead with them think about it have you ever bought shoelaces or do they just magically come with all your shoes for free yeah right nothing is free follow the money sheep

[–] not_IO@lemmy.blahaj.zone 25 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I've seen people say that about every crazy shit that happens lately

[–] Venus_Ziegenfalle@feddit.org 14 points 8 months ago (1 children)

At this point the thought of everything being a machiavellian scheme is just less embarrassing than the thought of what's actually going on.

[–] chonglibloodsport@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Why be embarrassed? Those idiots aren’t you. The fact that we have a messed up system isn’t your fault. You’re doing your best out here, just like the rest of us!

[–] NotSteve_@lemmy.ca 23 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

Getting really sick of people saying everything is a distraction. They don’t give a shit, why would they? Would it have mattered if they didn’t do this? Everything they’re doing is insane and fascist. What does it matter if one insane fascist thing distracts from the other?

[–] BarbecueCowboy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I'm still waiting for the big event where they fight at Hell in a Cell.

If you think of Trump politics in terms of pro wrestling, more things than you expect start to make a lot more sense.

[–] Sculptor9157@sh.itjust.works 4 points 8 months ago

Why do you think Linda McMahon has a cabinet role? The real education she is managing is how to bring pain in the ring. This Sunday, at The Coliseum!!

[–] Jakeroxs@sh.itjust.works 1 points 8 months ago

That's wrong in this case, they absolutely do flood the zone as Bannon would say, but this isn't that, Trump is known to burn bridges (look at his entire first administration with many in jail or just had a falling out) because Trump is Trump. I'm surprised Musk lasted 5 months

"Oh shit, my shares"

[–] skip0110@lemmy.zip 23 points 8 months ago (4 children)

Haha calling these people “men” is generous. They are subhuman scum

[–] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 36 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Dehumanizing ones enemies is what Nazis do. Be better than Nazis.

[–] skip0110@lemmy.zip 26 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Fair, I’m angry and just expressing it, I could probably do it more productively

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 20 points 8 months ago

Yeah get real. Set a squad car on fire like an adult.

[–] besmtt@lemmy.world 26 points 8 months ago (1 children)

They're men. They just lack empathy and are evil.

[–] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 17 points 8 months ago (1 children)

That's actually scarier and more difficult to accept than them being subhuman creatures.

[–] BrokenGlepnir@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago

All the worst monsters in history are human. It's scary to think that it could be in any of us

[–] not_IO@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 8 months ago

making people insecure by putting criteria onto to being "a man" (or "a woman") is exactly where this bs starts

Generous, or stolen valor? Neither one of them has received the requisite ass kicking to claim the rank. If you've never stopped being coddled, you're still a boy.
