Remember 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.
Florida man strikes again
At this point it reads less like news and more like a chaotic recap montage π
Feels like a whole season of a show got crammed into one week π
Did you see the video of Trump talking to the UFC guy? Trump shook his hand and then wouldn't let go. And then Trump touched the guy's bare leg. It was crazy.
I guess the dementia is weakening his control over his gay thoughts.
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.
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.
He's always been a puppet. He wouldn't be where he is if powerful people didn't find him useful.
That is precisely why my cousin Zaphod was allowed to become president, to draw attention.
Iβm getting the feeling they just put a dancing clown in front of us so we donβt start talking about real problems and demanding solutions for them.
That's kinda why the rich let us have elections in the first place.
So i have adhd and its goven me some insight:
If you have enough real problems, theyre all distractions from each other! Its great!
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).
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.
Isn't it only Tuesday?
2025 was an exhausting decade
Lol remember when everyone thought they had it tough living through history when "history" just meant "a pandemic"?
What a week huh? US, it's tuesday.
The US and the rest of the world has the same week. For the same reason.
Iβm tired, Boss.
Really tired.
Every day feels like a week.
and just like that.... people aren't talking about the epstein files anymore
Except his wife
"quick, while no ones talking about; talk about it!"
Yeah I mean sure the files and all but nuclear armageddon does, indeed, kind of take precedence of mind
Nuclear Armageddon isn't happening. Of all the things that can collapse everything, that's pretty close to the bottom.
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.
Username definitely check out.
2026 was a long year.
How is this normal? How is ANY OF THIS NORMAL?
Itβs not, weβve just had that many βonce in a lifetimeβ crises and are that broken.
I'M NOT BROKEN I WANT TO KILL SOMETHING! I'LL KILL SOMETHING SWEET AND CUDDLY I SWEAR!
I'm fine.
I'm fine.
I mean, when you put it that way, anything can sound bad.
I hope I don't need the /s tag...
Remember when Randy Marsh took that giant shit? That's how I imagine America is going to feel after the big flush.
My partner and I canβt even remember why he bombed Iran. Anyone able to remind us?
He said it's because they have nukes, then said jt was a pre-emptive strike because he felt they would attack soon, then said it was to bring armageddon as God's will? There was also a point republicans were saying Israel forced our hand into it. I remember there being 1 more reason but forgor.
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.
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 ...
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.
It has been an "imminent threat" for the past 40 years. Not sure they understand the meaning of the word "imminent."
