Does Trump look black, hispanic or poor to you?

[–] [email protected] 23 points 4 months ago

Pretty sure he is poor now

[–] [email protected] 20 points 4 months ago (1 children)

You never know... look at Epstein. Or Abramoff.

Sacrificial lambs I say! How are you feeling today squid?

I'm trying!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (2 children)

Sorry to hear that. Hope you feel better soon.

I’d like to add, I had unexplained dry heavings in the mornings, nausea that lasted from the moment I woke up until the moment I went to sleep. I couldn’t eat anything because everything including the smell of food would make me dry heave. Any strong smell really. Turned out to be PTSD from the army. A friend recommended and provided a joint. I had been to neurologist, psychiatrist, and every known medical profession in between and nobody could help with the symptoms. The medications prescribed made things worse. That one joint literally saved my life. I say all this on the odd chance that you haven’t tried cannabis. Your symptoms and your anxiety sound so much like what I went through for years.

My apologies though, I don’t mean to pry. I just know how you feel right now. Hugs brother.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (2 children)

I have read great things about (magic) mushrooms with regards to PTSD also.

EDIT - I remember reading your post detailing your issues with food/smells somewhere around here not to long ago. That's great that you've found something to provide some relief!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

They've worked wonders for my wife's CPTSD.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

No, that’s not me. That’s flyingsquid.

I am a heavy user due to my trigeminal neuralgia, so it does not help on the gastro front, I'm afraid.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Well fuck. Sorry to hear that. Hang in there man, I really enjoy your posts and witty comments.

Well he ate a taco salad that one time

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

He loves the Mexicans. I know this because one time he posed for a photo OP and gave a thumbs up to the taco bowl some worthless peon brought him from the taco place in his building before he ended up spraying diarrhea all over his gold-plated shitter and clogging it because he forgot to take the ultra-classified files out of it first.

I've been okay with that for a very, very, very long time.

Trump's criticism often comes at a cost for his targets. Merchan, Engoron and the judge presiding over his federal election interference case in Washington, D.C., Tanya Chutkan, have all recieved threats following Trump's complaints.

[…]

While he didn't initially issue an order at the start of the case, the judge said he was acting now “given the nature and impact of the statements made against this Court and a family member” as well as district attorneys and witnesses, adding that “given that the eve of trial is upon us, it is without question that the imminency of the risk of harm is now paramount.”

[…]

"Indeed, his statements were threatening, inflammatory" and "denigrating," and the "consequences of those statements included not only fear on the part of the individual targeted, but also the assignment of increased security resources to investigate threats and protect the individuals and family members thereof," the judge wrote.

That this is being reported on and treated as somewhat rational is the slow march into fascism that will destroy us.

How could the Germans let Hitler take power ?!

Just like that, apathy and propaganda.

Like Tolkien said, evil triumphs when good men do nothing.

Modernised: Evil Trumps when good men do nothing.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

Germany at least gave Hitler a brief time out in luxury prison after his putsch, we cannot even do that much.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 4 months ago

It's NBC news, the same org that tried to hire and retain the former RNC fucking chair as a political commentator.

Fuck NBC.

[–] [email protected] 63 points 4 months ago

So, when is Trump going to get a finger wagging? Actually, when should Trump be expecting an apology from the judge and his daughter?

[–] [email protected] 35 points 4 months ago

Trump better be careful! If his words cause the Judge or his Daughter to get murdered he might get a STERN talking to!

[–] [email protected] 30 points 4 months ago

Oh nooooooooo trump may have to pay another twenty cents! Just for creating the environment by which like-hinged persons can attack the judge and family. soooo unfaaaairrrrrrrr

flappy accordion hands

[–] [email protected] 24 points 4 months ago

Gag me harder, judge daddy.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Please please please please LET THIS FUCKER FIND OUT!!!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I think Trump wants them too. So his followers will go mad and start killing in his name.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago (1 children)

They'd get snuffed out in seconds. Less moronic voters, less chance of them organizing after he gets his ass kicked again in the election.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Maybe Trump to stupid to know that. Also don't be so sure. Lot military men are Trumpers.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Lots of us are not, though, and we are both ready and willing to use deadly force against insider threats if the rules of engagement and deadly force compel us to. We swore oaths to defend against enemies both foreign and domestic and to refuse unlawful orders which are contrary to regulation and the Constitution.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Some of us took the oath against all enemies both domestic and foreign. And yeah, magats are definitely a threat.

Lots of military men may be tRumpers, but that doesn't mean they're ready to commit treason and die for him. Some sure, but I bet that number is much lower than they want you to think.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 4 months ago (2 children)

I can't figure out whether some of his public statements regarding cases are legitimately because he's just being an idiot and disregarding his lawyers or because he's got some kind of calculated position that it's a good idea to work an image of victimization for his political campaign.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 4 months ago

Both.

The calculations are by a guy who can't do basic math.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

I imagine their conversations go something like this:

[–] [email protected] 19 points 4 months ago (3 children)

So I have to ask:

What did he say about the judges daughter?

[–] [email protected] 24 points 4 months ago

Certainly not that he would bang the judges daughter. He likes to keep the idea of banging daughters to his own family.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 4 months ago

The judge's daughter is involved in politics and has worked for Kamala Harris and Adam Schiff's campaigns. So, of course, he thinks that makes her dad irrecovably biased.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago

Apparently she quit Twitter and closed her account. It got hacked and reactivated and now there are photos of Trump behind bars. It’s all staged so that he can screech about how biased everything is against him.

~~Joker~~Don Poorleone planned to be caught. He wanted me to lock him up in the ~~MCU~~NYSDOCCS!

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 months ago

Don Poorleone

Lmao

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It's a good thing that I am not a judge. Threaten my family and your ass would be in jail until the threat is gone, or I am.

more of a gag suggestion.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (2 children)

The judge should have seen this coming. I am not impressed.
