Asked whether a potential meeting would take place in the US or in a different place, Trump replied, "I don't know. I haven't really heard too much about it." He continued, "I didn't suggest it [a meeting], but some people have suggested it."

"If it happened, it would be happening. I'd be respectful." White House correspondent Peter Doocy, co-anchor of The Sunday Briefing for Fox News, then asked the president, "Do you think because Epic Fury killed his dad and his wife and his kid that he has hard feelings?"

Trump said, "Well, I would say I'm not his favorite person, but with that being said, he's probably a professional. In some circles he has a very good reputation, actually."

Oh I'm sorry, is your working democracy in the room with us right now?

You want to try to make explain how that connects to blaming everyone including the ones who voted against this, or are your mental gymnastics not that good?

[-] HumanOnEarth@lemmy.ca -2 points 15 hours ago

Sure I will make explain you good!

You didn't vote against this. You voted against Trump and a whole lot of things you worried might happen if he won.

You voted against him hoping that someone else would win.

They didn't, and now a whole lot of bad shit is happening now that wasn't on the table when you voted. Not as anything more than "maybe he'll do these bad things if he wins"

Your fucking vote doesn't buy you 4 years of "this isn't my problem I didn't ask for this". Who the fuck raised you all to feel this way?

Good for fucking you, you didn't vote for him. Good for you you went to a protest once or twice.

It is June 5, 2026. The president of the United States is a convicted felon, a confirmed rapist, pretty much a guaranteed pedophile, he has protected people who have done these things, he has a fucking fund for traitors to thank them for their efforts to destroy your democracy.

I feel like, and I know I'm not alone in this feeling as a non American, fucking Frank Grimes. Homer is Trump, Springfield is America. You're literally driving the rest of the world insane with your idiocy.

You don't have to convince me that he's a piece of shit, I already agree with you there. Where you go wrong is by trying to insist that this is somehow my fault, as if I'm somehow personally to blame for this.

You don't know what goes through my mind on a typical day. The depression, the despair, the disillusionment, the frustration, the outrage, the indignation, or anything else. And I don't have to sit here and tell you about all that as if you're my therapist.

You don't know how I live my life, what I do to get by, to survive day-to-day. You don't know how or when or what I do to participate in the collective resistance, or what measures I have to take to protect myself while doing so. And I don't have to tell you about any of that.

I don't have to explain myself to you, and I don't have to justify myself to you. You're a prejudiced bigot, and I guess that's just the way you're gonna be.

You do share collective blame for this. Sorry pal. If you can't understand the difference between collective blame and me saying you, specifically, have failed, then I don't know what to tell you.

Climate change. I've done far more than my fair share vs my responsibility, but I still accept that I'm part of the failure that my kids have to live with.

I'm not sure why it's so hard for Americans to understand this. My best guess is the pure, mainlined indoctronation of individualism and exceptionalism that disgusts a good chunk of the world.

Just go fuck yourself. That's the only thing worth saying to you anymore.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
