doesn't even break the top-10 of stupidest shit to come out of his mouth this week.
Stop paying attention to the stupid shit they're saying to distract from the evil shit they're gonna be doing.
I'm not going to be paying attention to any of it. Fascism 101. But the fascist scum have apparently "won" so here we are.
America is a write-off. Let the filth destroy it.
I’m not going to be paying attention to any of it
Cool, then don't.
Why hang around and tell people to stop caring?
If you want to stop caring, just do it. But that's clearly not what's happening.
I was merely pointing out that flooding the citizens with insane bullshit is fascism 101 and that's exactly what the tangerine toddler and his band of filthy fucking nazis will be doing 24/7 for the next (hopefully) 4 years.
Nothing we can do about it except watch some Mario Brothers in the meantime.
Nothing we can do about it except watch some Mario Brothers in the meantime.
That is an opinion.
And it's fine if it's yours, but why are you going around trying to convince people?
If you're right, it doesn't matter. If you're wrong, you're helping trump.
But in either case, just go watch your Mario Brothers, that's what you said you wanted to do, so just go do it. No one is stopping you, you're choosing not to right now.
Ok so in Mario Brothers, Luigi is the best character.
Like Twitter I'll misname it out of disrespect.
Half of me wants to start keeping a personal tally of all the bullshit that comes out of this embarrassment while the other half just wants to cancel my internet to avoid the emotional trauma.
I'm also at this crossroads. I think a sub for link-dumping would be great because he doesn't deserve the time of day to curate him a list that nobody will read.
Option 2 is more satisfying
Burying your head in the sand is satisfying? You do you I guess...
Its a fine line innit? The hope is that I can stay up to date on "stuff" without being terminally online or interacting with the soon to be constant barrage of nonsense like "Rename the gulf of Mexico!" or "We're buying Greenland!" as well as the endless hand wringing and ultimately pointless reactions to the crisis du jour.
Why is he thinking so small? Why not rename the Pacific Ocean to American Ocean? China and Japan have seas and India has an Ocean.
The American Ocean is a lot of things, but pacific isn't one of them
The Atlantic Ocean belongs to Atlanta. To make it sound more like how it's pronounced by the locals, we'll rename it the A-lan-nic Ocean.
I'm only surprised he didn't demand it be called the Gulf of Trump.
"Trump's gulf hurricane wipes out south"
Trump Toilet Bowl
The gulf of trump is the empty space between his ears.
You're not wrong... especially since he feels the need to plaster his name on everything. But don't give him ideas....
On that note, can we collectively change "trump card" to being a bad thing?
One wonders how upset he'll be when he learns that Mexico is in America. North America, even.
Sure. Its all a fucking joke, now.
Seems like it's time for a name change of the USA in Spanish.
Estados Estupidos —> Stupid States
Estados Jodidos more like.
Estados Unidos de México
Man, I know English. I know some Spanish, high school drop out level, and I have some "real world" experience from working in a hotel... but man, I don't think I can change languages on the fly.
Mi Espanol es muy mal. Muy, muy, mal.
Malo* 😬
Like they said, muy mal.
Deadnaming geography, so hot right now.
¡Los Estados Unidos!
La tierra del hombre naranja
The Democratic People's Republic of Korea
We're listing names that are intentionally deceptive right?
Everybody else in the world still gonna call it Gulf of Mexico
No, we won't. That's stupid.
Freedumb Fries anyone?
Gulf of Freedom
I already call him "ahahahahahah", and it's ok, people understand immediately
Let me guess, he posted that to twitter?
See how that works?
If you read literally the first sentence of the article you would not need to guess.
Tell me you don't get it without telling me you don't get it.
