The Fake News losers at CNN immediately tried to fact check it, but President Trump was right (as usual).

Sounds very official and professional. Everyone at the white house is required to talk like Trump now?

Ladies, gentlemen, and my fellow freaks and geeks, i give you: the final form of the US Government.

It's somehow even worse than Idiocracy.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 3 days ago

Because in idiocracy they acted out of incompetence but were generally not bad people, this is just straight up malicious intent.

They probably have a Trump AI for this sort of thing.

"Artificial Idiocy" does have a certain ring to it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

There's nothing artificial about it.

Oh wow, I just realized that they could put an AI in office if Trump were to die, and the only way it could be found out is by lack of typos and correct grammar.

You'll know when he seemingly gains 20 iq points.

/s?

so it's not /s

And I am being serious here, it's actually bolded on the webpage.

I want to laugh. I want to cry. JFC. The world has gone insane.

for now, I plan to dig deepering into the actual claim, but the wording of the press release is... something...

[–] [email protected] 22 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I am livid at seeing this kind of language on my government’s official commissions.

How do we even find redemption at this point? How can the world ever take us seriously again?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Easy. Elect Democrats in a landslide in 2026. Impeach Trump, send him to jail for the rest of his life. Impeach and arrest anyone complicit with his crimes. Replace those open seats with more Democrats. Put heavy restrictions on Vance and drum him out in 2028.

Holding corrupt people accountable is the only way out.

Voting isn't enough. We need a plan B and it will take hard work. We need capable organizers, physical security, mutual aid, economists, doctors, and more. If that's you, please consider joining the DSA.

Conservatives have stacked the system in their favor through gerrymandering, coups, politicized courts, voter intimidation, and at times outright fraud. Not to mention that many Democrats vote alongside Republicans in favor of the oligarchs.

Vote, yes, but also please help us make a society that renders oligarchy obsolete.

It will be hard you will have to work very hard now.

This is why I sorta roll my eyes at the people who cry about the sarcasm tag. Poe's law is too strong, it always wins.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 days ago

I'm quoting the press release, those aren't my thoughts.

I mean even CNN issued a clarification of their own fact check that says what he said is true. Just in typical Trump fashion he worded his rant like a 5 year old that found a thesaurus.
