Since Helsinki 2018, I am no longer surprised by the MAGA fucknuts and their stupid decisions. The Muscovites have Krasnov by his balls. "I know, I know," he does not have any, but what else could I type to describe the f'ed up situation.

It's only stupid if you're stupid enough to think that these people give a fuck about the planet or human life.

[–] Doom@lemmy.world 26 points 9 hours ago (3 children)

Currupt. The word you're looking for is curruption not STUPID. All of this is very much 1000% intentional and I wish we would stop framing these thieves as idiots. They are robbing the US treasury boldly in front of our eyes and framing it as "oops we are so dumb and incompetent" but they absolutely are not. Every single bit of this is planned and meticulously thought out with the goal of stealing from you, me, and our future.

[–] architect@thelemmy.club 5 points 6 hours ago

Yes yes yes! They are not stupid, they are malicious. Act accordingly.

There's no corruption in a corrupt system that was literally concocted by enslavers to violently enforce their disgusting privilege. This is just how the system has always worked.

[–] erin@piefed.blahaj.zone 0 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I think you meant corruption, but you're absolutely right.

Spelling isn't my special interest.

This is what you get when you elect a literal traitor as president

[–] fishy@lemmy.today 6 points 7 hours ago

All Republicans are traitors at this point. You lend your power to someone who in turn lends it to a traitor, therefore you're a traitor. The last ten years have shown that Socrates was right, the average person is too dumb to vote for their own self interest and will elect demagogues.

[–] technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 6 hours ago

Trump is 100% loyal to this system.

[–] peacepath@lemmy.world 4 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Should one of the main aim of the war to feed weapons makers with public money (and avoid to let public money available for social welfare) it would be totally logical to prevent the war ends too fast.

Lindsey Graham? I thought you were dead!

[–] peacepath@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago

I am opposed to this position, but it seems to be classical among republicans. I didn't know Graham, but yes he seems to be one of those favorable to this... Thanks for letting me know about him.

[–] bad1080@piefed.social 1 points 6 hours ago

and it's far from the first time...

Russia and Russia's hired POTUS are funding a war on the US

[–] Banana_man@reddthat.com 4 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

I'm not super knowledgeable in the field but maybe Trump wants to bring the gas prices down for the upcoming election, without caring about how.

Also a prolonged war means defence contractors, who have always been US friends get more business as a result.

The tiny amount of diesel he bought will not have a measurable impact. If that was his plan he's either stupid or stupid and desperate.

[–] mineralfellow@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago

That tracks.

[–] obdes@lemmy.world 26 points 16 hours ago

I think this implies too much that these people somehow care for their respective nation states when all they do is shovel money into their friends bank accounts while bleeding social welfare dry.

I literally laughed out loud!

If you're anti-US Trump is like the best person for the job

The US Bought Iranian Oil from Russia

[–] technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

Empire would rather steal the oil directly. But that hasn't been working for a few decades. That's part of why they attacked Iran, murdered those school girls, etc.

[–] ol_capt_joe@piefed.social 45 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Let's say it again:

📣 The diesel that Trump bought from Russia is diesel that Russia bought from Iran. $6.4B of US taxpayer money to fund two enemies killing our guys.

To anyone who still supports this guy: Come on... He's screwing you, stabbing friends in the back, stealing as much as he can for himself. Are you done yet?

[–] technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago) (1 children)

killing our guys.

lol. No thanks on the imperial "we". Those are not my guys.

[–] Kalothar@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 hours ago

If you’re American, and if you pay taxes these are infact your guys.

Good bad or ugly, the American military belongs to the American people via the constitution

While he naps and shits in his nappies on live TV

Big brain high IQ efficiency at its finest.

people voted for this fucking muppet, thinking he was going to do something to improve things

the great american experiment is a failure. nice not knowing you all

The fash version of improving things is attacking minorities, defunding necessary services, invading and robbing other countries, ending democracy, etc.

From that perspective things have improved!

[–] terranoid@lemmy.cafe 16 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

I remember someone on reddit said after he won, "now just sit back, relax, and your wallet will thank you" all smugly, like the economy was going to make us all rich.

I hope that fuck is struggling with his car payments and can't afford gas.

My ex best friend ate the whole thing hook line and sinker by both trump and musk, now he trying to make an AI startup after quitting his well paying IT job. He isn't even American

[–] frunch@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

Now that's what I call a 'self-own' 👀

[–] JohnnyEnzyme@piefed.social 5 points 16 hours ago

thinking he was going to do something to improve things

A very common mistake was in failing to understand the causes & benefits of FDR-style democracy, and the ~four decade age of prosperity that grew out of it. That and thinking that democracy was a birthright.

Such American voters were always going to be ripe for the grift.

[–] BuckFutter@timeyak.com 22 points 21 hours ago

The only thing that would make this meme better is if Trump was doing his double handy circle jerk dance jerking those other jackasses off.
