Can you imagine the kind of shit that will be made public 5 or 10 years after he leaves the presidency?

It's cute you think this will be over by then.

The tech bros who bought this administration seem to be getting a little nervous lately. I have a feeling they’re starting to wonder if they can really shoot the moon, or if they’re going to the next Nuremberg trial.

No matter how batshit insane whatever my imagination can conjure up is, I can guarantee it'll be a lot worse.

i miss not being surprised by much.

we'll probably find out he had a private mcdonalds installed at the white house that gets its "beef" from an unethical mortician.

so like that's about how extreme of the batshittery i'm expecting is.

edit: wait this explains Kennedy

The United States finally has an answer to Stalin.

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 6 points 20 hours ago

Stalin was both effective and relatively efficient. This dumbass is neither. More like whatever the knockoff of a Temu Stalin would be.

And to clarify, yes, I'm saying that even Temu is too high quality to be carrying anything Trump branded.

Efficient? I think Stalin probably could have managed with killing many fewer people.

[-] gwl@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 12 hours ago

He did it efficiently though
