"If you need, the federal government will come to your rescue."

God, he's so transparent. "Aww, gee, I guess we could invade the state and take control of the National Guard and declare martial law and station troops at polling locations, if we must."

No its a message to the local racist groups and militias. If they can incite and create civil unrest or riots in those communities, the Fed's will show up to... do a range of things, none good and some very bad

[–] lemmyng@lemmy.world 19 points 2 weeks ago

Yep. Big "Stand back and stand by" energy.

[–] uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 2 weeks ago

I suppose he can send his ICE army to back the hate militias, but that will paint a pretty picture to the rest of us just how rogue ICE is.

Kinda like the LGMs in Portland during the George Floyd protests.

Whenever there's a massacre by state paramilitaries, a fuckton of sympathists, activists and sympathizers join the cause against them. Doubly so in the age of ubiquitous video.

(I think the ubiquitous video is the actual motive driving age verification laws.)

“The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the Government, and I'm here to help.”

These people have shifted so far right, Regean sounds like an antifa.

Running the Iran playbook. "We will be greeted as liberators!!"

"They're eating the dogs, they're eating the cats"

It's easy to have forgotten that, because the zone is flooded so no one can keep up. But he said that on live national TV, and then he still won an election. The US has problems deeper than Trump.

[–] athatet@lemmy.zip 17 points 2 weeks ago

You said you weren’t going to fact check!

[–] uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 2 weeks ago

So when you detect a MAGA in your midst, you can ask them Are they eating the dogs? Are they eating the cats? And see of they pop like a discovered Nazi spy.

[–] radiofreebc@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The USA isn't like it is because of Trump. Trump is the way he is because of the USA. The world is collectively disgusted at the USA these days.

[–] fartographer@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Trump isn't the way he is because of the USA. He's where he is because of the USA.

Racist, untalented, criminal, reality tv billionaire dumb-fucks are everywhere, but it takes a special place to let someone like that get anywhere near the presidency. And an especially special place where a third of the population will cheer for the person who admits to stealing from them and his desire to fuck young girls.

[–] Zephorah@discuss.online 45 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

The obituary thing. I’m pretty sure that’s the only reason the majority of us still check headlines daily.

[–] Hideakikarate@sh.itjust.works 29 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Reminds me of an old joke (I found it here, but I'm sure it's not the original)

There's an old Soviet joke: A man goes to a newspaper stand every day, buys a copy of Pravda, glances at the front cover, curses, and throws it away.

After a few weeks of this the seller just has to ask what's going on: "why do you always look at the cover but never inside?"

"I'm looking for an obituary."

"An obituary? But those are in the back!"

"Oh no, the obituary I'm looking for will be on the front page."

Point is, when he dies, you won't need to go online to see it.

[–] RaoulDuke25@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It should be a world holiday.

[–] Zephorah@discuss.online 3 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

No. The best thing will be to erase all legacy items holding the name.

[–] fartographer@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

We have a huge problem with sweeping things under the rug. It then gives offenders the leeway to say, "you need to move on. We already said you won, and literally no one cares anymore." Leave some of the legacy items up, and add the names of everyone who had a part in building or normalizing this. His kids, Miller, Vance, Joe Rogan, Jimmy Kimmel, every ICE agent, every FBI agent who touched the Trump/Epstein files and didn't immediately sound the alarm. On some of the other items, list every single victim. Those directly killed by choices originating him, Kegsbreath, Musk, etc. should be listed with a brief bio and description of how they were killed. Those who were negatively affected by tariffs; EPA, FDA, or CDC fuckery; gas prices; etc. should be enumerated as "harmed by" or "killed by."

Corruption Museum next to the Smithsonian.

[–] switcheroo@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

We need to not forget this shit. We need to remember what can happen what can happen if a PoS takes office and given the powers of a king. We need better laws and a better fucking government.

Everything fuckface stole from us needs to be taken away and given back--- including all the stuff grifted by his disgusting spawn and sycophant mushroom-fluffers. I want them destitute and in prison.

[–] Zephorah@discuss.online 2 points 2 weeks ago

Pretty sure everyone in the admin has a presidential pardon already.

[–] Dragomus@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

The obituary will be so full of lies it will cause a short term increase in brain hemorrhages both nationally and internationally.

Oh, those horrible Somalians. Out here trying to checks notes earn a living and afford food like the rest of us. How fucking dare they.

[–] discocactus@lemmy.world 36 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

I went to school in the twin cities. My RA in my dorm was a Somali guy whose whole family except his mom had been blown up right in front of him. Like he used a hearing aid cause he was so close. Grew up in Minneapolis. Lovely guy. Wicked smart. Was working at the mall of America and as an RA to afford college. Working towards becoming a medical researcher, which I assume he now is. Showed me a ton of good east African restaurants all over the city, was an amazing runner and cross country team mate. Probably literally saved my life one night. There's people causing murder and mayhem but it's not the Somali immigrants. FTD.

[–] AlligatorBlizzard@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Ooh what's the best place out near Cedar-Riverside and the U? I'm out that way occasionally and I want a break from Hard Times.

[–] discocactus@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Harry Singhs was my favorite restaurant in that area- actually kind of a Jamaican/Indian crossover rather than east African but it looks like it's permanently closed. Shame, he was a really nice guy. I was last in the twin cities about 15 years ago so idk how relevant my advice would be now.

[–] dumples@piefed.social 30 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You tried it for Metro Surge you dumb fuck. We stand by our Somali neighbors. Don't you get it?

[–] HumanOnEarth@lemmy.ca 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Mmmm more like there have been a lot more incidents since Pretti and Good. Now that y'all are more desensitized to it, the time has come to ratchet things up again.

Been happening. Is happening. Will keep happening.

[–] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 13 points 2 weeks ago

Greg Bovino's successors have been making conscious efforts to make their Gestapo operations more discreet while increasing the number and frequency of arrests.

[–] mangaskahn@lemmy.world 22 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I wouldn't waste the time to read it. Probably just some sycophantic knob-gobbling anyway. I will however, celebrate that glorious day.

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 12 points 2 weeks ago

You need to be a special kind of person for most of the world to be awaiting your end.

[–] SecretiveVault@lemmy.zip 17 points 2 weeks ago

Pedo said what

[–] frustrated_phagocytosis@fedia.io 15 points 2 weeks ago

Leave them be, Somalis are much more chill neighbors than rabid white supremacists like him

[–] theuniqueone@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 2 weeks ago

Literally calling for vigilante killers.

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 11 points 2 weeks ago

Maybe Minnesota should join Canada.

[–] BeatTakeshi@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago

They eating the dawgs! Ask Ohio!

[–] MantisToboggon@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

I knew who you meant before I clicked on it.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 7 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah Donald, don't you just hate it when people get into politics so they can steal money.

[–] FunnyUsername@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

30+ year old native Minnesotan here.

Minnesota doesn't care.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Whatever keeps the people down there fighting among themselves instead of uniting against their real enemy.

[–] fartographer@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

From the guy whose only understanding of other humans is based entirely on projection, we have these confessions:

He just wants to get out of town with as much as he can steal, and then, lead a quiet life.

They view you as weak and stupid people.

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

For real, this is Trump's plan projected on his supposed enemy.

[–] DonkeyStar@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Sounds pretty similar to January 6th.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I never knew that the people of Somalia were such good swimmers.

How many Somalis are really in the US?

[–] hunnybubny@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Many thousands. Might be into tens of millions. Tremendous numbers. And this is only in one town.
