    This dumb fuck really though he could bomb Iran and it would bring peace to the middle east, you just gave Israel the ball and they’re gonna run with it.

        He doesn’t imagine any scenario except the one that was just told to him the latest. All he does is regurgitate stuff other people have told him.

    “Hey, guys, I have spoken, hear me? Guys? Hey, guys?”

    “GODDAMIT, I SAID I’VE SPOKEN, HEAR ME? DO WHAT I SAY! I DEMAND YOU DO WHAT I SAY! HERE’S MY NAME!”

      International diplomacy via social media

      Well the unfortunate reality is that as a convict, he cannot travel to most of those other countries to do diplomacy in person…

          I actually don’t think he’s manifesting it, I think he’s narcissistically deluded and thinks if he says it then the sheer power of the U.S. Presidency (owned and subjugated to Donald J. Trump) will force them to stop. And then when they don’t, he’s pretty much having a mental break.

          Probably when you quickly roll the plane a small amount left and right, waggling the wings up and down and acting as a wave to those on the ground.

            I see, that makes more sense. Though I assume nobody on the ground would see it considering the distance and speed most modern planes go at.

        Yep. So many people flying their stupid Taco flags and wearing their “Let’s Go Brandon” shirts and so on just seemingly have no idea how normal people view Taco.

        To me, it’s like watching the stupidest kid in the class with his underwear on his head and smearing feces on the wall. And I’m hardly alone in that view - Taco is and always has been a ridiculous and unserious dumbass. And these people think he’s not only the best Republican candidate for office, they think he’s the best they’ve ever had.

            taco flags

            Haha, it would be funny if they started literally adopting that just like they adopted “deplorable”, but I’ve not seen that yet. I sure hope it happens - that would probably be about the same take as some of them adopting the teabagger thing (before they realized, oops, that might make them look gay, and can’t have that, lol!) - more or less calling their hero a chicken is not going to be a good look.

            I mean Taco fans flying capitol-T Taco regalia from China.

        But you got to be a goddamn moron to be impressed by the current president.

        The joke of American politics is that you’ll have two candidates run by smearing each other into the dirt. One of them will squeak out a win and get a few months of being The Most Charismatic Person On Earth because of a marginal victory largely on EC winner-take-all. But the TV/Radio will say this person is INCREDIBLY POPULAR and people will be brow-beaten into believing it.

        Then that person will actually attempt to govern, fumble the ball for a while, and watch the media turn on them. Popularity will plummet and the opposition will come out of the woodwork insisting “Our Guy Would Have Been Better”. Except its a media cycle driven by incompetency and corruption at the elected level. It’s inevitably a false choice, because everyone on the ballot was one flavor of corporate shill or another from the get-go.

        By the end, all you have left is an argument over who would have been worse. Everyone calls everyone else a moron for thinking the wrong things. Nobody seems capable of identifying quality leadership, because quality leaders don’t have an in with corporate media to inflate their celebrity profiles.

        It’s cargo cults all the way down.

    Baby’s first diplomatic relations.

    And boy is it a magnificent debacle.

    Trump is at least consistent - fuck things up, then pause the fuckup to pat himself on his back and demand praise for not fucking things up even more. Then once the news cycle progresses, continue fucking things up even worse. He’s such a master of this fail technique!
