You need to provide an archived link of trump saying this. Anyone can help, you all have an hour. Sorry, but I have to take it down if no one provides the link. Rule 6

It's really quite double plus ungood, but it's good that a citation was provided.

[–] cannedtuna@lemmy.world 106 points 23 hours ago

Thanks for requiring a clip or source. It’s easy for anyone to slap text on a picture and claim it as truth or “just a joke”.

[–] UltraMagnus0001@lemmy.world 12 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

Thanks , I can't listen to him ramble. My hand uncontrollably goes on my forehead and I get embarrassed that almost half of Americans voted for this fucker.

[–] BigDiction@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

75 seconds from we don’t how to build ice breaking ships

Finland is going to build us 11

Some of the 11 will be built in US

We’ll have 55 very soon…

~22% of the population voted for him. Yeah, that's still too much, but it isn't anywhere close to a majority

wait why are those two things linked?

[–] Luminous5481@anarchist.nexus 4 points 9 hours ago

I use CachyOS on PC, and GrapheneOS on mobile, and a VPN on both. so as long as Google requires an approved mobile device to scan the QR code, then I'm effectively banned from any site that uses recaptcha.

I'm not about to buy a new phone and sign up for a Google account just to use a website, all because a corporation wants to track me.

[–] decended_being@midwest.social 2 points 9 hours ago

I'm guessing this is referring to Google's captcha service being use at Archive.today

Archive.Today starting to use Google's QR-based reCaptcha

What does Google have to do with archive sites?

[–] Luminous5481@anarchist.nexus 3 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

they use recaptcha. that now requires a Google approved mobile device for anyone using a custom ROM or accessing the site using Linux or a VPN. I use CachyOS on PC and GrapheneOS on mobile, and a VPN on both, so I'm effectively banned from any of the Archive sites from now on, until or unless they stop using Google.

I'm not sure what Google has to do with it, but here you go: https://archive.is/75fuN

I wish all Trumps a very happy please die of a stroke before 2027

[–] FistingEnthusiast@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

Wow, brave of him to assume his life style will let him live past this year.

[–] rwrwefwef@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 hours ago

At this point, that Professor Jiang guy probably does have the script for this poorly written soap opera.

[–] Furbag@pawb.social 3 points 8 hours ago

This isn't corruption, it's autocracy.

I don't want to hear shit from anybody about how patriotic they are while this guy walks free.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmings.world 5 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

He has no intention of leaving after 2028. He's not building that ballroom for some Democrat, or anyone else. That's his.

We need to have a major open national discussion about how we would handle such a situation, so that they know that he can't just pull a Maduro, and just ignore the results of elections, and remain in the Royal Palace.

He needs to know that if he attempts to stay, there will be a march on the White House, and everyone inside will be executed, and the building burned to the ground. If we have to go that far, we're re-starting from scratch.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 15 points 15 hours ago

Trump never lies about what he wants to do. He always lies about his accomplishments.

He’s not lying. That’s exactly what he wants to do.

[–] genuineparts@infosec.pub 12 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Lol. You know what Donny. I'm fairly sure you won't be around in 2032.

[–] tristynalxander@mander.xyz 1 points 10 hours ago

I'll wait to cure aging, just for him.

[–] sirico@feddit.uk 20 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

He's joking guys like the joke about Venezuela! Or the Joke about ICE. He uses jokes or light hearted comments to soften the impact of terrible actions to gauge public reaction? No it's just jokes guys!

For these three reasons alone, I consider it highly likely that this regime will now abandon even the pretense of democracy and establish a true autocracy:

  1. ICE has a larger budget than all U.S. federal agencies combined. This budget is equivalent to the military spending of a medium-sized country. It is clearly a secret police force.
  2. Given the serious crimes they have already committed, all members of the cabinet would likely face criminal prosecution under a new administration—even within the completely dysfunctional U.S. legal system. They will not let it come to that.
  3. Coups d’état have no criminal consequences in the U.S., at least for conservatives, as evidenced by the fact that no one actually responsible was prosecuted during the last coup attempt—even the foot soldiers are all back on the loose.
[–] AWistfulNihilist@lemmy.world 4 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

This is a crossing the Rubicon moment for Trump. The entire maga apparatus understands that at least the pretense of consequences await them if another group takes over, that includes people who have been fired or left. It happened to them the last time. They know this time the other side is getting voted in on consequences, and they know the other side knows they have a year or two post election to do it, or else they already risk getting wiped out in the midterms just like the situation that republicans find themselves in now.

It's life or death right now for a lot of members of this admin, and they are gonna act like that. Good luck us.

I'm not holding my breath. It would be great if I'm wrong, but my bingo card has the next admin proclaiming "now is the time for healing and unity, not vengeance" instead of actually enforcing the consequences that are supposed to come with actions.

[–] GraniteM@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

And if they do that, then it'll be a lesson to the next fucker that the move is to go farther and commit more crimes, because consequences don't exist, so you might as well set yourself up as President For Life and make plans to pass your regime off to your favorite child.

This isn't corruption. A few steps beyond it really....

[–] DupaCycki@lemmy.world 6 points 14 hours ago

Does he seriously think he'll live till 2032?

[–] StillAlive@piefed.world 34 points 20 hours ago (7 children)

Fuck Americans for letting this asshole win a second time.

He will be in office in 2028 though

[–] TipRing@lemmy.world 10 points 11 hours ago

That's what I was thinking, unless he gets impeached or kicks the bucket he'll hold office until January 2029.
