I also love how it starts with him wishing all a Merry Christmas and ends with him naming certain people he won't wish a Merry Christmas.

Making up my 2025 bingo. Putting "Invade Canada", "Invade Greenland", "WW3", and "We're the baddies" on it.

It sounds like the angry rantings of a 10 year old

He thinks the 38k lives lost building the Panama Canal were American!? Bro is terminally dumb.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 day ago

he's an idiot who wants to cede american ieadership and influence on virtually everything to china because all he's interested in xenophobia fearmongering over actual investment in america.

I could google it, but as a Canadian would you kindly correct the record here for others like me?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

This is what I could find

The construction of the Panama Canal was a monumental engineering endeavor that came at a significant human cost, with estimates suggesting that between 25,000 to 30,000 workers lost their lives during the project.

Causes of Death:

Disease: The tropical environment of Panama was rife with diseases such as yellow fever and malaria. The role of mosquitoes in transmitting these diseases was not yet understood during the early phases of construction, leading to high mortality rates among workers.

Accidents: The construction process involved hazardous activities, including the use of explosives for excavation, operating heavy machinery, and working in challenging terrains. These factors contributed to numerous fatal accidents.

Worker Demographics:

French Construction Period (1881–1899): During this phase, a significant portion of the workforce comprised laborers from the Caribbean, particularly Afro-Caribbean workers from the West Indies. The French effort resulted in an estimated 22,000 deaths due to disease and accidents.

American Construction Period (1904–1914): The United States employed a diverse workforce, including a large number of laborers from Barbados and other Caribbean nations. Over 5,000 workers died during this period, with many of the deceased being from Barbados.

The majority of the workforce during both construction periods consisted of Afro-Caribbean laborers who endured grueling working conditions, disease exposure, and, in many cases, discriminatory treatment.

Thank you for the history lesson !

[–] [email protected] 10 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Great. Another four years of constantly being disgusted by the absolute moron put in power by my fellow citizens.

Eggs were just too expensive, a fascist with dementia will fix it.

President Elon Musk needs to get his butler under control. This is an embarrassment to 🇺🇸.

If Canada was to become our 51st state

The last time that was attempted forcefully, it ended up with them burning down the White House. Canada is also one of the major reasons we have international agreements banning the use of chemical weapons in warfare.

So... maybe let's just leave Canada to their own devices.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 16 hours ago

We would appreciate it. No offence but you guys can be pretty rowdy neighbours and quite frankly a bad influence on this household.

King's speech - "Peace on earth plz"

President Elect's speech - "Reeeeee"

[–] [email protected] 50 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This is genuinely the worst timelins

I can picture one where he breeds little clones of themselves with Elon as his spouse

I'm hoping these continual word salads mean the aneurysm in his brain is continuing to grow. Not that his vp moving into the presidency would be any better though, but hot damn would him croaking be so fucking satisfying. Hope he had plenty of hamberders as his xmas feast.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This shouldn't be normal behaviour for someone who holds such a high position. The highest in the world you could say. It's baffling how you could hold one of the highest positions in the world and act like a child.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 19 hours ago

Sorta feels like when countries starting rebelling against their own monarchies and overthrowing them. Maybe its just this form of oppressions last dieing breaths as it tries to keep itself relevant. People are literally calling for the gallows for those in power, so I'm not sure how crazy a thought that is. Its popping up in other countries too.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 day ago

He means Merry Xmas to the CEOs, who have successfully regained control of the remaining 99.99% of the population, and whose ancestors from the Virginia Company would be very proud.

[–] [email protected] 46 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He forgot to wish Merry Christmas to the millions of illegal criminal immigrants who are eating our pets, stealing our women, and doing our jobs while getting free Healthcare from our government.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 day ago

Also Hillary’s emails

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago

Maybe the great cheetoh doesn't understand what "to all" means.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 day ago

What the everlasting fuck?!

[–] [email protected] 36 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I don’t think he knows how to use capital letters

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The list of things he doesn't know but should would probably be longer than Wikipedia.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This list of things he doesn't know is Wikipedia.

He just can't leave Joe Biden alone, can he?

[–] [email protected] 51 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Nope. He'll be ranting about Biden and Obama until he chokes on a hamberder on the toilet or whatever other stupid way he dies.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 15 hours ago

I hope it's ultra stupid. Like, hit by a truck, survived, slips in the shower at the hospital breaks his neck, survives, and then after 8 years as a quadriplegic the housekeeper unplugs the ventilator to plug in a vacuum cleaner.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I still think that someone will shoot him during his term, but I don't know if that would be even worth celebrating as I dread to think who'd take his place...

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 day ago

As Jello Biafra once said, "I'd rather have a dumb Nazi than a smart Nazi."

Is it real? Can you give a link?

I don't question you FS, it's just these two pages (?) look too well structured for his current level of mental demise. Guess he could've got it proofreaded by someone.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

I really do not want to link directly to Truth Social, but this should work:

Edit: I went to TS to get the images, I just refuse to facilitate him getting any more direct views on my account.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

I agree. Thank you.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I guess I'm out of the loop. Does China occupy/control the Panama Canal?

Also, people want Greenland because after global warming melts the rest of the northern Arctic region, it'll be a big shipping lane and Greenland will be a major landmass/port/base for security. Meaning, everyone knows it's real, and just denies it for political reasons.

[–] [email protected] 42 points 1 day ago

No. Panama does. You may be out of the loop, but Trump is loopy.

There are also other reasons that Greenland is valuable. Not just mineral rights on newly-exposed land due to melting glaciers, but those glaciers themselves are going to get more and more valuable in a world rapidly running out of fresh water.

The U.S. is already pumping more groundwater than is getting replenished. It's going to get worse, especially when they keep building more and more water-hungry data centers.

You never did expect Trump being presidential, or at least gentlemanly, did you? He might be rich and influential, but there are crack consumers with better manners.

one is an inbred privileged rich kid with a criminal history... and so is king charles.

That was one of several offensive Christmas posts by the Dictator Elect.

post

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 day ago (2 children)

That one was from last year. Note the date.

Not surprising you didn't realize since this is an annual thing for him.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 21 hours ago

It's absolutely fucking insane to me how anyone ever could post this and get elected president of the United States of America. This single post alone would mean political suicide in almost any other western democracy.

It's just - what is happening?? I'm absolutely dumbstruck by this lunacy. I cannot for the life of me understand how someone could look at this dumpster fire of a human being and say "Yes, that's who should represent me in the world and shape the policies of my everyday life." Holy fucking shit what the fuck is happening

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago

I totally missed that, but as you said, it’s no surprise this is a regular occurrence.

When the US invades Canada

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

To be honest this is about the same level of inane fuckin waffle that king Charlie came out with yesterday

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago (3 children)

At least Jug-Ears tried to be nice.

Ahhh, is this how we justify going to war to take Panama? Next up, we’ll be liberating Chinese from Winnie the Pooh dictator because they didn’t pay the tariffs.
