How are we to tell our kids to "grow up" when they're acting immature when one of the most powerful men on the planet are acting like this publicly?

I do not envy the successor who’s going to have to unfuck Americas reputation in the world.
I just read something about this, and it jibes with my own thoughts on the topic:
“There is a shift in U.S. policy and in many ways it is permanent,” according to a senior official with a European government. “Waiting it out is not a solution.
I mean, let's play out the possible scenarios for 2028... I don't see a single one that results in slowly rolling back everything that happened since 2016. And even back then the USA was not the most democratic; it was easier for Europe to not see it back then, but that is not the case anymore.

This reads more like a diplomatic demand in civ 1
Dude is weird. Is this his normal, is it drug-induced, or is it dementia?

Trump has only killed one infant, and thrown it in a lake. He's only human, Norway, sheesh.

Remember that your 2nd amendment exists to make the people able to overthrow their government and not only to shoot gay people
I mean, sure, that's the worst thing we've seen all week so far. But look - Harris didn't do enough for the proletariat!
So. Y'know. This is the Democrats' fault.
You gotta put /s or face confusion.
Fun fact, detecting written sarcasm is one of the more, let’s say, rare elements of verbal fluency.
Lemmy.ml genuinely believes this. They will still insist that not supporting Harris was somehow the right decision.

everyone is shocked I tell you SHOCKED! now what the fuck is going to be done about it? Is he just going to be allowed to steamroll and conquer neighboring countries forever while the news keeps saying "surely this is the last straw"? Why don't other countries cut off the Untied States financially until it behaves?

Dear Santa, Considering you decided not to give me a PS5 for Christmas, even though I was a VERY good boy, I no longer feel an obligation to clean my room or not say cusses, although being good will always be predominant, but now I have to think about what is good and proper for me. Why do other kids get a PS5 anyway, and why do they have a “right” to keep them? There are no written rules, it’s just that Santa gave them one a long time ago because their parents asked nicely. But I asked nicely too, many times, and I reminded everyone constantly how nice I was. I have done more chores than any other child since chores were invented, and now Santa should do something for me. Christmas is not secure unless I have Complete and Total Control of a PS5. Thank you! Very Good Boy DJT
And still... nobody in America (including the two supposedly coequal branches of government) will actually do anything about it.
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot!?!?! I am not surprised by Krasnov and he continues to be a complete POS.
Apparently the USA militarily could no longer stop China taking Taiwan.
With Trump acting like this, China initiating that action becomes more likely.
