Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

ITT: Lemmites Letting the mask slip

People can find it funny for several reasons, some may be laughing at the pure stupidity of comparing the two. I would say we have seen few countries Trump considers allies. And Russia, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia seem to be the only 3 re-occuring allies he seems to consider.

And Russia, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia

Which one of these is Israel?

Touche, I'm not sure I can tell the difference between Israel and Florida at the moment, Israel gets more benefits than Florida does though

Stop making vertical territories. Just stop it. If it's a long skinny shape on a map, it shouldn't exist.

All countries should be hexagon shaped for mathematical elegance!

I mean, out of all the heinous fascistic shit Trump has done, this is probably among the least egregious. Plus as a dark comedy enjoyer, I can appreciate this on a "who the fuck starts a conversation like that; I just sat down" sort of level.

This is pretty harmless, especially by his standards.

I don't see a problem laughing at this.

If this is what makes you clutch your pearls then you are going to audibly gasp at all the other shit Trump has said.

[–] GeneralEmergency@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

This has nothing to do with the other stuff trump has said.

And everything to do with Lemmites reaction to what was said here. And how it relates to the other stuff trump has said.

Bro ive never even seen someone wearing pearls
