Asked if there were any limits on his powers, he said, “Yeah, there is one thing. My own morality. My own mind. It’s the only thing that can stop me.”
Yep, we're fucked.....

He meant "mortality."
He has no morality.
I'm certain he's a clinical psychopath. He believes what suits him in that moment.
He's also a sadist.
Things Trump is doing seems horrifying today because he is willing to do it to US itself. This was not a problem when it was happening elsewhere, when it was being done elsewhere.
What Trump is proposing has being done by the US since long. Read Bangladesh, Vietnam, Laos, Afghanistan, Iraq. War crimes and atrocities are par for the course for any US government. Difference being there is not facade of righteousness this time around.
Israel is merely a colony of the west established only to carry out its inhuman practice elsewhere. Just like rich westerners went to Africa to hunt animals, they go to Israel to hunt humans.
Edit: Thank you for the downvotes.
This is exactly what I'm saying. The US is no different now, it's just not hiding it. Some Americans hate Trump because he takes away their "good guys", righteous, "for all mankind" feeling. The US has always been an occupier, oppressor, exploiter. "Thanks" to Trump, that's no longer hidden.
The real Americans have been against all these atrocities all along. We've been quite vocal, just not getting much coverage cause we, ya know, don't appeal to our corporate overlords
Common problem across the globe, really
Any suggestions on how to fix it? Kinda annoying that friends and neighbors see us as being like the weird racist uncles that think Jews are trying to replace us with Mexicans or some shit.
We just want to not massacre civilians and not torch the constitution
War crime laws exist for reasons and we'd like to conform to them.
Everyone who’s been doing the no kings protest, do a full on 1 week stay at home/do not buy anything from any corpo. Don't work, don't buy. Have fun protesting this week and stock up for the week beforehand. Try and get everyone behind it. Normally we say the protests work best but truthfully just not being present will hurt the capitalism even harder. (Capitalism needs consumerism to survive, you guys really only have control over one of the two, so remove yourself from the equation and the capitalistic government will abide) it happened during Covid, can happen again and again
There are a lot of people who live their lives in this type of protest, insofar as is possible. The more the merrier. We have to build the systems and future we want, nobody else will.
I was going to say, the only thing I spend my money on besides necessities like my mortgage, insurance, utilities, food, clothes and fuel is 3d printer filament, small stops to harbor freight a few times a year, and I guess real-debrid. I upgraded mine and my sons computers after Trump got elected then relegated the old hardware to my home lab. I suppose for birthdays and holidays I buy them steam games and Legos but I’m not going to strike to the degree I don’t provide my kids with things I have the means to provide that I wish I would have had growing up. I think school lunches and supplies would round everything out. I donate to creators of things I find valuable but I don’t think that’s the intended target of a strike. I suppose I could go without buying filament and harbor freight but by that metric I’m striking more months than I’m not already. I can’t not buy my kids clothes as they grow or not feed us. I’m nearing fifty and bought a couple pairs of new shoes recently but all my other clothing is a decade or more old. I’ll probably need to buy a bunch of bulk socks and underwear in the next year or two.
Your doing great, don’t jeopardize your life or QOL of your family over it, we only suggested it would last a week no longer :) Could spend the week with the kids enjoying a family project at home or at the park! Think of it as a small in home vacation.
Any suggestions on how to fix it?
I know that not all Americans are the same. I know about the mass protests during the Vietnam War. One of the greatest American songs, “Born in the U.S.A.”, is anti-war, anti-American foreign policy.
But nothing has really changed. It doesn’t really matter who is president. Obama bombed as he pleased, Clinton bombed as he pleased, Nixon bombed as he pleased, JFK bombed as he pleased, Trump bombed as he pleased. For over 60 years, the United States has been the same, nothing has really changed. It’s not “in the name of humanity” or “in the name of American citizens.” It’s all “in the name of capital.”
The United States is run by capital, and capital has no remorse, no ethics, no respect for human life or the environment.
How can you fix that? I’m not that smart.
My violent fantasy: Trump is laid down in his tighty-whities in a 6 in thick bed of molten tar so he can't move. Then a steamroller rolls over him, starting from his feet to his head, one inch every couple of minutes so I can see his pain. When he passes out, we wake him before continuing on again.
But knowing my luck, after this happens, his supporters would just start wearing steamroller pendants and treating him like the next Jesus more than they already do.
Note: I said this is fantasy. A man can dream.
Any fantasy involving him suffering insurmountable pain over a long period of time is what I wish for that “man”.
Isn't molten tar going to be a pretty quick death? How hot is that stuff?
They used to tar and feather people as a form of humiliation. I'm sure it wouls leave burns but it can't be THAT bad.
You may want to go back and reread about the whole tar and feather thing, it's actually way more fucked up than you may know.
Even if the tar was only like ~140F like an asphalt road can hit pretty easily in the summer, it's covering your body and sticking to your skin. But this was in a time where they didn't have fine control of heat, and was likely just warmed over a fire. Very likely aren't surviving that experience, especially when it was practiced...
From what admittedly little I've read on the subject, it seems plenty of people survived tar and feathering.
It would honestly depend on the melting point of the tar and what it's mixed with. I guess they could just heat pure wood tar, but they had the technical know how to mix it with volatile plant oils to make it more liquid.
The goal is to humiliate a person; running around like a chicken is more humiliating than being a dead chicken. Since they wanted a show, they would have went out of their way to make it less deadly.
Don't rule out scaphism as an alternative.
I honestly think he's going to drop a nuke on Iran. Not an ICBM. Those are monitored and detectable. I think it'd be from a B2.
I don't think even Trump is that crazy.
I really don't know, TBH. It would be the ultimate show of force, in his mind.
You don't think he's that crazy? Really?
This whole thing with the hospital on good Friday and being suspected of being dead? How much you want to bet he meanders back on Easter as a mockery of a resurrection?
The MAGAts will eat that shit up! He's such a crazy narcissist that its right up his alley to be deified. So, a nuke on Iran is right up his alley.
He wants to
He wants to be remembered as a president who used nuclear weapons
He's a child with a hammer, so to him, everything looks like a nail
He wanted to nuke a fucking weather event
He thinks action movies are documentaries
Rapist mentality. Trump is all about the power he can wield.

In a sound bite on Iran, he threathens
On 23 March, Donald Trump said that if things didn’t go to his liking in Iran, “we just keep bombing our little hearts out”. source.
Given what is known from the Epstein files, I find "our little hearts" creepy as fuck.
It's kind of comforting to know this is Trump's plan because we know it will fail.
Conquering Iran is from 2001. It's not Trump's plan.
It's from the 80s
The US backed Iraq in the Iran-Iraq war
During the first gulf war, yanks were surprised that they were being fired on with 'Murican weapons, because in a few years they'd already forgotten their history
Fucking psychopath.
Hard agree
If there’s one thing I know about what goes around it’s that it never comes around
