That’s all it ever was.
That's by design. Remember what a revolving door his first administration was? He learned from that and surrounded himself with spineless sycophants this time around.
Beyond the inner circle, Republicans are scared shit-less of stepping out of line. Those who dare are under death threats or they are fired/primaried/removed.
They want to be threatened and bossed around. That's why they're authoritarian enablers. Often it traces back to abusive parents. They're trying to impose the hell of their childhoods on those of us who didn't have such fucked-up experiences, because those are the only conditions where they feel like they know how to respond.

They also don't care he just took a wrecking ball to part of the White House. They don't care that he has crashed the economy or broken the government. They are coward sycophants.
I think the demolition of the White House is particularly poetic. It also shows us what our federal government is willing to let the regime do without input from the commonwealth.
The No Kings numbers was a warning, a bellwether. Let's see if they're able to pick up on what it means.

I'm reminded about when he broke up a protest against police brutality to get a photo op in front of a church in 2020. I guess that sort of thing is just another tuesday
I never forgot about that. But the problem is that every fucking day Trump does something insane. It is actually really, REALLY hard to keep up. When anti-Trumpers do something wrong, it is often the biggest thing they did and people will not shut up about it.
I mean imagine if this a crime like burglary. A guy who did a single burglary years ago has obviously done something wrong, but what if you got a second person who provably did hundreds? I'm sorry, but you can't just focus on the latest shit. Trump has been doing this basically his entire life. He has no redeeming virtues whatsoever. Even during his 'business' days in the 80s and 90s when he was going from failure to failure, he would insult his investors that he didn't screw them up even more... and they would still give him more money for his next failed scheme. I don't get it.
Republicans don't understand satire or metaphor. They think trolling is wit.
just imagine Obama doing that during his term. i think half of them would just straight up die to an aneurysm. they had conniptions when he wore a tan suit.
Pedofile shits all over America. GOP celebrates
haha
Oh, man... imagine not reading the news for the last few days and then reading this title.
This is exactly what happened to me just now.

That video . . ..
He is using satire to make a point.
If only that were satire
Trump has no sense of humor and is too stupid to do satire.
I wish our journalists did ANY amount of push-back because calling it satire is just a red herring and I wish they wouldn't even engage with it.
OK, let's assume it is satire used to make a point. What point exactly was he making? That he IS a king and is shitting on us all?

The video:
My favourite thing about this is that .... he'll be remembered forever for shit like this (no pun intended).
Think about it ... JFK had famous speeches and lines like 'We choose to go to the moon' ... Eisenhower is thought of to his line 'the Military Industrial complex' ... Roosevelt for his 'Day of infamy' speech ... even Reagan is remembered for his 'Tear down this wall' speech
Trump? ... he'll be remembered as a senile old buffoon who shared childish videos to make fun of the citizens he was supposed to govern.
.... and it isn't just representative of Trump ... no matter how the country feels about it ... his stupidity reflects on the entire nation.
His legacy will be that of a cautionary tale on how not to be the most embarrassing footnote in American history.
His grave should be the only location where public defecation is legalized.

"The president uses social media to make a point," Johnson told reporters Monday. "He believes that he is a king and that any protest against him or his appointed officials is treason. In essence, he is a fucking traitor who never should have gotten elected the first time, let alone the second, and I and my colleagues are going to work to impeach him and remove him from office, just as soon as we take our tongues out of his asshole."
-- Mike Johnson, if he was slightly less of a toady piece of shit traitor.
If he ever said “fucking” or “asshole,” I’m pretty sure an alert would pop up on his son’s phone
Time to make AI videos of trump eating actual shit from a horse’s ass, go crazy and flood their zone with ‘em.

"He's not calling for the murder of his political opponents" yes he did. He said certain political opponents are terrorists and deserve the death penalty. Also, this is about him shitting on his own people, don't change the subject you piece of shit.
It's exactly what they voted for.
They do because they have no choice. Their ability to think for themselves has been compromised. Think of them like Ophiocordyceps fungi: basically, they have zero control over their own behavior outside of their servitude to Tantrumus Maximus. If he wills it, they see it done- without question and without consciousness.

They eat his shit daily, so why not watch him play with it
Don't fall for it. Trump is using poop to deflect from the pee. Never forget the pee! Release the Epstein files and put this guy in a cell already. It's finally time for the victim's of these rich powerful people to win one.
Human shit would of course support this.
This is the setup to the wildest aristocrats joke. Once somebody releases the video of trump banging his daughter in a room full of shit it will be complete.
It's shocking to witness what's happening in the US of A as an outsider.
Well, unfortunately many other countries aren't looking at the USA as a warning, but as an example.
The right wing is gaining ground in a lot of places that should know better.
