As Trump watches his poll numbers sink under the weight of controversial policies and an unpopular war with Iran, he is casting about for scapegoats, said Robert C. Rowland, professor of rhetoric at the University of Kansas.

      Facism isn’t going away when he dies. It’s there to stay with a more competent and evil replacement. How are people this clueless?

        I don’t think so, all the minions may be a little bit smarter than Il Douche but they all rely on his charisma and tv/movie fame. It is unlikely to be a competent government, my guess is all the leftovers will start fighting each other over the presidential powers

            I get what you’re saying. but Annoying Orange has about a third of the population in his pocket, pedo friendships, wars and an end to medical subsidies be damned.

      Yeah just wait until the US becomes the country other democracies like western nations are installing their own government in. That’ll be an interesting time. So far the Trump administration has shown how inept they are from top to bottom, just feather his balls and hell roll over like a suckling pig.

      Or they get under control of a power hungry nation like say Russia, imagine them with the power of the US military behind them?

      Neither option great. Fucking assholes, the lot of them.

      Let us citizens be in control. Not all communist per say but way more citizens than fat cats in government to appease. Hense why the government should be for the people not their own grifting schemes.

      You are not sorry, your country voted for him twice.

      There is no amount of apologies that will mend what YOUR little orange Mussolini has done.

      I will never, ever step foot in your fascist country again.

      Your country is THE rogue nation all your movies talk about; you are the world terrorists and always have been.

      We have always been by your side for over 150 years even when you guys destabilized and overthrew many democratically elected countries we were there.

      When you were attacked we said who did it and we sent our bravest.

      Well no more, no more will we help because all you do is threaten.

      Your country is a bully and always has been.

      Hasan Piker is right about 9/11, you guys deserved it as a country.

        You’re kinda being a dick to someone who has been vocally anti-trump since he first dated a trump supporter in 2012. That’s not a typo. Since Obama’s reelection I’ve hated the guy and voted against him in every election. Don’t blame me for him winning again.

        There’s a lot of blame to be pointed directly at Biden and Kamala’s 2024 campaign for not reading the room and offering milquetoast promises.

        If you don’t want to come back here fine, you’d personally give Republican’s ammo for their sudden hatred of Canadians and I would rather mend our two country’s relationship.

    You know how in sporting events, they shut it down for 30 minutes if there is lightning near the stadium, and every single bolt of lightning resets that clock?

    America’s “allies” need to do the same thing, except switch sporting event to “meaningful international commitments,” minutes to “years,” and bolt of lightning to “any GOP Administration.”
