Post TextRemember when Trump threatened to wipe out a whole civilization? And then backed out of that and talked about forming a deal with Iran? And then dropped that and went to a UFC fight as negotiations fell apart? And then unveiled a triumphal arch and a photo of himself as Jesus?

That was this week.

Bluesky.

2025 was an exhausting decade

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Lol remember when everyone thought they had it tough living through history when "history" just meant "a pandemic"?

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

What a week huh? US, it's tuesday.

[–] tomiant@piefed.social 2 points 1 week ago

The US and the rest of the world has the same week. For the same reason.

Of course. All styles come in the "distressed" style

I’m tired, Boss.

Really tired.

[–] fisch@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago (5 children)

I'm getting the feeling they just put a dancing clown in front of us so we don't start talking about real problems and demanding solutions for them. I hate to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but the entire Trump presidency is one big distraction. We could be talking about and working towards solutions to societies problems, but now the news cycle is a 24/7 clown show.

[–] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

That is precisely why my cousin Zaphod was allowed to become president, to draw attention.

[–] MousePotatoDoesStuff@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's probably a mix of distraction and real problem.

Or they just throw everything at the wall and hope enough of it sticks.

And the opposition should do the same (but in the opposite direction, of course).

[–] fisch@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

If you talk about the problems people actually have, and you suggest solutions without getting distracted by dancing clowns, you win elections. In the US, Zohran Mamdani demonstrated it, and in Hungary, Peter Magyar. The problem is, many politicians are easily distracted. They think they could score points by pointing out problems in the clowns choreography, when they should be talking about their agenda instead.

You're right, that's better.

So i have adhd and its goven me some insight:

If you have enough real problems, theyre all distractions from each other! Its great!

That's kinda why the rich let us have elections in the first place.

He's not the first one.

Reagan was certainly far more qualified and intelligent than trump, but he was the same thing.

An old, white, face-guy who everyone could focus their attention on while the Heritage Foundation did its dirty work in the shadows.

There's a reason everything seems to have started stagnating in the 80's, because it did.

[–] U7826391786239@piefed.zip 8 points 1 week ago (2 children)

and just like that.... people aren't talking about the epstein files anymore

[–] Kowowow@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)
[–] TachyonTele@piefed.social 7 points 1 week ago

"quick, while no ones talking about; talk about it!"

[–] tomiant@piefed.social 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah I mean sure the files and all but nuclear armageddon does, indeed, kind of take precedence of mind

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Nuclear Armageddon isn't happening. Of all the things that can collapse everything, that's pretty close to the bottom.

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I mention the Epstein class all the time, and I straight up said I would kill Trump on the spot if I spotted him, to my co-workers. I do NOT hide it at all.

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 0 points 1 week ago

Username definitely check out.

How is this normal? How is ANY OF THIS NORMAL?

[–] WolfmanEightySix@piefed.social 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It’s not, we’ve just had that many “once in a lifetime” crises and are that broken.

[–] tomiant@piefed.social 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'M NOT BROKEN I WANT TO KILL SOMETHING! I'LL KILL SOMETHING SWEET AND CUDDLY I SWEAR!

I'm fine.

I'm fine.

[–] SeeMarkFly@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago

1/3 of this country would like to kill another 1/3 of this country while the third 1/3 watches.

[–] MadMadBunny@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

We’re barely a four months through…

[–] SeeMarkFly@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago

Can we stop here? I'm done.

Remember when Randy Marsh took that giant shit? That's how I imagine America is going to feel after the big flush.

Thank you for advertising this content creator's name, Kevin M.

[–] night_petal@piefed.social 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The double standard is ridiculous.

I have a feeling the double standard is by design.

[–] Beebabe@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

It’s like one giant Groupon to someone else’s dementia room and we’re all trapped inside.

[–] WolfmanEightySix@piefed.social 0 points 1 week ago (3 children)

My partner and I can’t even remember why he bombed Iran. Anyone able to remind us?

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

I've heard the phrase "largest state sponsor of terrorism" thrown around, but honestly I feel like it wasn't even mentioned until well after everything had started and it wasn't an immediate success like they must've thought it would be. No idea if it's true at all. And there's always "we gotta stop them from getting nukes".

Basically it's whatever they can think of in the moment in the rare instance they get questioned about it. They've also said all goals have been met since like, at least a week ago, so now I guess it's just for the love of the game.

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I don't think he ever gave a solid reason for it. At first it was something about them refining radioactive material, then it was about the apocalypse, then I stopped paying attention to the flimsy excuses.

[–] gandalf_der_12te@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

it was mostly because Netanyahu talked him into it, and also because it makes a great distraction from domestic problems at home, and also because it makes the stock market go up and down and trump's family can make lots of money through insider trading that way ...

[–] tomkatt@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Supposedly he thought it would increase his dismal polling numbers, as military action tended to do so for previous presidents.

Also, to distract from the Epstein files and several other things people are actively upset about.

And to set up the terrorist false flag needed to cancel the midterms.
