So sick of these stupid wars.

Also sick of Yoda.

Would like both to go away.

It's a little too late to distract from Epstein. Whatever the fuck just happened in Cuba last week is a bit more timely

tRUMP-Epstein War*

Hey, it's an election year, and the majority party looks weak. Time to blow up some brown people to pump up those poll numbers!

[–] EmpathicVagrant@lemmy.world 6 points 10 hours ago

It’s so they can enact a wartime thing and shut off elections, it’s practically on billboards.

[–] Lodespawn@aussie.zone 35 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

Normally that would work but the majority party also got to power by convincing their racist scum supporters that they would focus on fixing the homeland rather than spending billions bombing the other side of the planet. A whole branch of the current Republican diaspora seems pretty unhappy with this bullshit. That said I'm sure the tantrum will be short lived and they will get back on their knees in no time.

We'll see. I have little faith that those traitors don't fall in line almost immediately. These people are pure evil.

We're making America great by making the rest of the world more shitty.

This is the bully method. Knock everyone else down to make yourself feel better.

He's making us "great" the same way Lord Voldemort did "great" things. Terrible, yes. But "great".

That said I was watching Order of the Phoenix with my kids last night and only made it to winter break when the kids fell asleep. I fucking hate Umbridge. It's painful watching that movie in the current climate. Even more painful knowing that JK is closer to her IRL than any other character.

if they're trying the tall poppy method they're gonna need one hell of a lawnmower

[–] kingofras@lemmy.world 8 points 16 hours ago

these upvotes leave a bad aftertaste man

[–] BarrelAgedBoredom@lemmy.zip 15 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

I've been hiding from the horrors of the world this last week or two, whats going on?

[–] Tempus_Fugit@lemmy.world 30 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

The US and Israel are now attacking Iran. The US and Israel have already bombed a girls school killing 51 children aged 7-12.

Go back, try again in about a decade

[–] Rusty@lemmy.ca 20 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Once again I learn about news from memes.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 13 hours ago

Better than from billionaire-owned media tbh 🤷

Been trying to find that post from a few days back when ships were still moving into position, and the enlisted were getting lobster and steak. Was it NCD?

Found it.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 3 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

It was the steak and lobster that tipped them off? Not every ship going to the Indian Ocean?

[–] chaogomu@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago

Ships get repositioned all over the place all the time. It's always a threat, but usually it's just a threat.

The troops getting a moral boosting meal? That comes with an announced mission or deployment. Especially since there's no holiday on Friday the 20th of February.

[–] chaogomu@lemmy.world 4 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

The original post on X was on Friday the 20th. So yeah, pretty transparent.

[–] D_C@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 hours ago

A 6 day old post about a 2 day old tweet from xhitter. Wow.
Well at least no one invited a reporter into a top secret Signal conversation...wait, did they?

[–] DagwoodIII@piefed.social 30 points 18 hours ago (3 children)

I just woke up to this shit.

This is going to make The War on Terror look like the Emu War.

[–] Mantzy81@aussie.zone 19 points 17 hours ago

As an Aussie, fuck off. The Emu War was the biggest war since the big one.

[–] Shameless@lemmy.world 11 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

You can tell the US and Israel are a bit desperate too as they are still asking civilians to enact the regime change for them trying to reach people via Telegram.

[–] Quetzalcutlass@lemmy.world 5 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

You'd think if that was their plan they wouldn't have sat back and watched Iran kill tens of thousands of protesters earlier this year.

[–] Shameless@lemmy.world 7 points 14 hours ago

It's always their plan to try and mobilize the local population into regime change, it's a common CIA playbook. If the citizens are killed in the act the US doesn't care, it's not their citizens being massacred, it just means they need to switch gears and find other options to start applying pressure.

[–] HenriVolney@sh.itjust.works 4 points 17 hours ago

You gotcha liberate them Muslims, amirite?

[–] Mantzy81@aussie.zone 21 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

The IDF or US hit a girl's school. Killing at least 24 girls.

I'm surprised the Epstein class didn't traffick them out. Probably a talkative witness or victim amongst them.

[–] Manjushri@piefed.social 7 points 13 hours ago

At this point, I wouldn't be surprised to learn that they did smuggle them out and then blew up the school to cover it up.

I remain stunned by just how on point those comics were, and still are. Genuinely masterful.

[–] gAlienLifeform@lemmy.world 4 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

This thread is an extra depressing version of the "Feel old yet?" meme

Who's that? Sounds like somebody too young to be in government. He'll never keep us engaged in a perpetual occupation of the world's worst desert
