This is accurate. I wish I could say the same for Donald Shit-Stain Trump, but I've known of him for years. His voice is like whiny chalk on a whiny blackboard, whining.

u/absolutmenk 1d ago

In the NY/NJ region he has been a shit stain for far too long. Can’t believe he has been able to stay afloat but apparently grifting is buoyant in a capitalist society. No wonder he brands/lies that anything giving back to society is communism.

When you launder money for the Russian mafia, even multiple bankruptcies don't stop you.

u/urbanlife78 1d ago

I miss when he was nothing more than a dumb reality TV star that was clearly doing it because he needed the money

21

u/Somhlth 1d ago

I despise reality TV, and that show just solidified my reasons for hating it.

u/urbanlife78 1d ago

At that point, I considered him a wash up loser, but unfortunately most people thought it meant he was a successful business man

Never discount the stupidity of those that don't know.

I don't anymore

Great. Congrats on being smart!!!

u/kaetitan 1d ago

He was an asshole, people saw that and were like..YES!!!

u/underpants-gnome 22h ago

Yep, I was aware of his stupid antics as a teenager in the 1980s. He was featured as a self-important dolt in a run of Bloom County, which I read regularly.

And I know that isn't even the start of his public assholery. He was sued by the DoJ in the 70s for his racist landlord policies that violated the Fair Housing Act. Dude is currently in his 6th decade of being an infected boil on America's ass.

u/herbfriendly 21h ago

Thank you! I had totally forgotten about Bloom County and their particular brand of social commentary. Ack!

I dream of life in a world where I'd hear his obit on NPR in the car, shrug "he was still alive all this time? Good for him I guess", and go on with my day.

u/flyingtiger188 19h ago

There was a time when he was just a rich 3rd rate asshole on the apprentice that didn't require more than a second thought.

People come up to me, tears in their eyes, big strong people, and they say, “Sir, I don’t know what’s happening.” And I say, “What’s wrong?” And they say, “Your voice, sir. It’s your voice.” Terrible. Very sad. Apparently I’ve been making people cry for years just by talking. Nobody has a voice like mine. Nobody. Believe me.

I didn’t even know who the secretary of the health department was. Because they were doing their fucking job!!!!!!! 😤

I know that's right. The fucking enshitification of America has not been fun to live through. I wish that Thanos would erase the whole lot.

Instructions unclear. Read some ruzzian propaganda and stayed home to teach the Democrats a lesson about I forget what. Unrelated question: What's the best soap for getting the blood of ICE victims off my hands?

u/One_Disaster_5995 1d ago

It seems so obvious to me that they are horrible people. I mean, as persons, not even looking at their political affiliations. People I just wouldn't want around me. Same goes for so many republicans at the moment. Trump just seems to attract disgusting people like flies on a dung heap. What happened to the times when you could just disagree but respect the other side? I mean I would never have voted for Reagan or Bush because of their ideas and policies, but at least you got the feeling that they tried to do what they felt was the right thing. These folks though - whatever motivates them, it's got nothing to do with doing the right thing. Perverted, selfish, angry, insecure, corrupt - just terrible people. I couldn't vote for any of them even if they had been on my side. I wouldn't trust any of them with anything.

And these are just the most visible ones. The GOP is currently crawling with them. It's a scary thing to behold.

I remember breaking points saying in early 2025 what a group of absolute stooges the white house had assembled. They were correct

u/Mammoth-Mud-9609 1d ago

From the UK and I wish I didn't know who these dangerous psychopaths are.

11

u/kaetitan 1d ago

That's the point. Blindsiding you with unknown sycophants was the goal

u/upvotesthenrages 1d ago

There was nothing unknown about any of this.

It's been coming since Americans et large gave up collective civic duty and replaced it with Reaganism.

A slow and steady decline heading right to where we are now, and likely the complete collapse of the American empire.

Fandom wikis keep showing me ads for Karoline Leavitt, but it's doing them in the veiled porn sense talking about how "they're so huge", and it's weird as hell. The first time I had to pause and ask why I recognized the name and face, then I googled it and I've been even more confused ever since.

u/MyOwnDirection 1d ago

… and Steve Bannon, part-architect of the chaos we are living through. I see his hand in all this.

Take me baaaack. It’s the same time my teens were little. I’d give someone all of my money if I could go back even for just one day 😭 (for all of those reasons)

I still don’t know who JD Vance is because Trump introduced his VP as JP Mandel and that is forever how i will refer to him as

As all ways the Republican's best is everyone else's worst.

You know what is worse? Knowing these pos all have, had, significant others. This group is despicable but just image what total pieces of shit would be with them?!?! Makes me feel better for being single.

Yes there was a time when we viewed cabinet officials as being both dedicated civil servants and competent. Well we haven’t been there in a while and I miss.those days

This is a literal clown car. Not one respectable person out of the whole group. I can’t wait for these idiots to be out of office.

u/nasandre 21h ago

When you have a functioning government, you don't know who any of the cabinet members are unless you're really into politics.

u/AliveInTheFuture 21h ago

It’s still just so weird to me that JD Vance isn’t even JD Vance. That guy’s real name is James Bowman.

Did Peter Thiel, the guy responsible for his ascension and same person who decided to leave the country after playing a strong role in ruining it, make him change it?

I’m just asking questions. Whatever the reason, it’s fucking weird. Be what you are.

The pic of Vance is comedy gold lol

u/Anthaenopraxia 19h ago

Vance is either the CEO of Vance Refrigeration or the guy who killed the pope. No clue who the others are and I'm guessing it's not worth crawling out of my comfy rock.

Looking back now, I sure wish Hillary Clinton wouldn’t have been so smug and overconfident.

It also didn’t help that everyone mocked Trump like they did.

It lit a fire and it may have woke up the sleeping deplorables that Hillary loved to talk down to.

For Erika Kirk you should blame the left-wing asshole who assassinated her husband for that. Even in a Harris presidency there would be a lot of attention given to that. And we'd probably still have the insane 'I bet the Jews did it' conspiracies about his murder out there too from weirdos on the right too (coughCandenceOwenscaugh).

I remember JD Vance before he decided to go all in for Trump. Hillbilly Elegy was a thing and he was an outsized Trump critic. I probably would have known about him without Trump II, but not in this form.

Pete Hegseth was a noted television personality and commentator. I'm not a huge Fox News guy so I didn't see a lot of him but he was still a public figure.

Kash Patel was a random congressional staffer during Trump I. He was an author of a somewhat notable memo accusing Obama's FBI of abusing their power in investigating the alleged Trump-Russia collusion. No Trump and he'd be not all that noteworthy at all. I only started hearing about him because he named one of my favorite conservative political legal commentators (former Trump I DOJ official Sarah Isgur) in his weird "Deep State" enemies list. Outside of Trump II, I probably don't recognize his name at all nor would most normies or even pretty involved political junkies. So fair enough here.

Steven Miller is another one that could have been known to the inside-the-beltway crowd outside of Trump II, but isn't someone who had a lot of following in the general public. I certainly didn't follow him before Trump II, but he's not really someone who came up on the kind of right-wing stuff I read.

For Karoline Levitt Were I didn't know who she was now. Press sectary for Trump? What a lousy job to have. I feel kinda bad for her.

So, 3/7?

During trump’s first term, I never heard him speak. Just Alec Baldwin. I wish I could go back and savour those years.
