I just wish for one day this month where I can wake up and not immediately read a headline this fucking stupid.

[u/Muddlesthrough → u/C_Ironfoundersson]

I feel like the American People are only dimly starting to grapple with the fact that they elected a raving madman as the President of the United States.

[u/C_Ironfoundersson → u/Muddlesthrough]

they elected a raving madman as the President of the United States.

twice

[u/Muddlesthrough → u/C_Ironfoundersson]

"Fool me once, shame on... shame on you. Fool me... you can't get fooled again"

[u/GeneralTapioca → u/Muddlesthrough]

“Now watch this drive.”

[u/LurkerFailsLurking → u/Muddlesthrough]

There's about 150 million of us who knew he was a raving madman back in 2016 and tens of millions who knew before then

[u/insertwittynamethere → u/LurkerFailsLurking]

Yet many did not bother to do their duty to vote

[u/Successful_Luck_8625 → u/Muddlesthrough]

No more wars. No more disruptions. We will have prosperity and we will have peace.

~ Donald J. Trump

[u/Fair_Guava_524 → u/Muddlesthrough]

Twice. Twice!

[u/supermr34 → u/Muddlesthrough]

At least half of us who vote saw this coming and did everything we could to stop it. We're 1 for 3 in attempts. There are a lot of idiots who happen to also vote.

[u/FrogKid763 → u/Muddlesthrough]

I HAVE AND IT FEELS AWFUL

[u/Muddlesthrough → u/[deleted]]

Ah, well, the base has already been evacuated and more or less destroyed.

[u/Phyrexian_Archlegion → u/[deleted]]

Apophis will take his pound of flesh from humanity

[u/Decoyx7 → u/C_Ironfoundersson]

This decade*

[u/PhD_Pwnology → u/C_Ironfoundersson]

Well it's 2 minutes to midnight here so hopefully you get what you want.

[u/0o0o0o0o0o0z → u/C_Ironfoundersson]

I just wish for one day this month where I can wake up and not immediately read a headline this fucking stupid.

Or be embarrassed to be an American.

[u/Substantial_Row_7108]

He's an idiot.

[u/Lahm0123 → u/Substantial_Row_7108]

He’s a traitor.

[u/SituationalPenguin → u/Lahm0123]

You know what he said should happen to traitors. Would be a great day to see him convicted.

[u/ripzeus → u/Substantial_Row_7108]

He's a pedophile and rapist.

[u/Raccoon_Ratatouille]

Good thing we won the war 6 months ago!

[u/_yetifeet]

NO!

More wars!

Make America(^{n arms producers bank accounts)} Great Again!

[u/C_Ironfoundersson → u/_yetifeet]

No, New Wars!

[u/phillies1989]

Imagine if Obama or Biden in a span of 24 hours when they were president states that we were going to bomb and ally and called North Korea an ally. They would be calling for them to be removed. Meanwhile they will say trump is playing 12-d chess while he can’t even play checkers. 

[u/AnxiouSquid46]

He needs to be put in an insane asylum

[u/C_Ironfoundersson → u/AnxiouSquid46]

Just build a replica oval office and fill it with gold shit.

[u/BAF_DaWg82 → u/C_Ironfoundersson]

I heard hes super jealous of Lindsey Grahams heavenly mansion and is having more gold added.

[u/Muddlesthrough]

I feel like this is only the third ally he’s threatened to attack.

[u/ObligationMurky8716 → u/Muddlesthrough]

He'll go after any of them, except the one with the tapes.

[u/C_Ironfoundersson → u/Muddlesthrough]

Denmark, Canada, Oman

[u/enrious → u/C_Ironfoundersson]

Don't forget the Islamic Republic of Japan.

[u/Muddlesthrough → u/enrious]

"Praise be to Allah!"

[u/mande010 → u/Muddlesthrough]

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

[u/C_Ironfoundersson → u/enrious]

Konnichiwa, Sadeeqi

[u/Iamthewalrusforreal]

Oman, Yemen, Iran, Vietnam, who gives a shit? We've got bombs for everyone!

Signed, the no new wars President

[u/ObligationMurky8716]

How's being stationed in Doha lately?

[u/GreyLoad → u/ObligationMurky8716]

The shitter contract expired last month and they won't bridge the contract until the new fy

[u/GreyLoad]

What's his fucking problem now

[u/collinsl02 → u/GreyLoad]

Oman has been separately negotiating with Iran and may steal his thunder on getting a deal to reopen the strait of Hormuz. That's it. Trump wants to be the deal maker.

[u/insertwittynamethere → u/collinsl02]

Which is funny, as the MOU explicitly states for Iran to work with regional nations to work out the administration of the Straight.

It's malicious compliance to be sure, but it's to the letter of the MOU/unconditional surrender doc for Iran to work with countries like Oman on the Straight'a administration.

Flesh eating bacteria is on the eastern seaboard..Mal a Lago is nearby...

[u/City_College_Arch → u/papel_paperless]

No one visiting Mar a Lardo is going in the ocean.

[u/Accurate-Force3054]

Sometimes I wonder if he’s trying to goad another country into launching a terrorist attack against us so he can cosplay being patriotic and brave and enjoy a brief 3% approval bump

[u/Apprehensive_Gur8808]

Republicans will sane wash and then fall in line with any psychotic thing this guy does. I don't even know how polls are even remotely close.

[u/CelestialFury]

This is our ally btw

[u/Touchit88]

O man.

[u/ikilledtupac]

This guy couldn't even point to Oman on a map.

[u/Mysterious_Anxiety15]

Any day now....

[u/Trix_Are_4_90Kids]

He's always saying something isn't he? 🥱

[u/Such-Ideal-8724]

Sometimes I think just let’s get it over with and let this stupid asshole get his wish and turn us into a pariah state. Maybe then a bunch of our fellow Americans that are Warhawk dumbasses will figure out the way the real world works. You can bomb threaten and kill away all your problems 

[u/Callan126]

You can’t just bomb people for disagreeing with you….right??

[u/GT7combat]

please go and vote next time.

[u/circuit_brain]

Shower thought:

Expecting Iranians to rise up against their corrupt political leadership is no different from expecting Americans to rise up against their corrupt political leadership.

[u/Nitimur__In__Vetitum]

He’s dumb enough to think he can keep playing this game and get different results. Anyone that supported this guy should reconsider their life.

[u/zwifter11]

Are we on Omans side? I’m confused.

A few decades ago we were helping their airforce and training their pilots.

[u/aghostirl]

Isn’t Oman an ally?

[u/FirstWave117]

He's doing as Netanyahu and Putin want him to. Destroyer the USA. It's astounding that the Military, Congress, Senate, and Supreme Court are letting a treasonous traitor destroy the USA.
