This just feels like further proof he rigged the election

[–] asteriskeverything@lemmy.world 5 points 5 hours ago

Yeah. Careful of proof that just feels right

A lot has happened in 8 months. Like his voters getting deported

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 8 points 6 hours ago

False. The system is rigged. The electoral college is bullshit. A state like Alaska gets the same weight as my home state of California. We have forty-five times as many people. It’s fucking infuriating and it’s a consequence of kicking the slavery-can down the road back in the day.

Also keep in mind, that picture of the protest is one city. I don't know which one, but it's one of MANY cities with a similar turnout.

Meanwhile, the little thing trump threw was in one centralized location, and STILL nobody came.

It offends me that this draft dodging, classified information mishandling, rapist, traitor, coward arranged for a military parade for himself.

In the grand scheme of current events, it is a relatively minor transgression, but fucking damn it when are these fascists going to get the parades they deserve instead of the parades they want?

[–] BMW_stick@lemmy.world 15 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Ohhhhh, the parade they deserve. My oh my does that sound beautiful. Can we please have one of those forced parades through a village like they did to Cersei in Game of Thrones? I'll travel to wherever it could happen. The entire Administration, please.

Pretty sure it's a war crime to subject that many civilians to a naked Trump. Put him in one of these instead

[–] selkiesidhe@lemm.ee 4 points 8 hours ago

Weird and pathetic. Sad. Low energy.

[–] ObtuseDoorFrame@lemm.ee 16 points 11 hours ago

Apparently 16 million of that is for road repair to fix the roads that aren't rated for 70 ton tanks. What a stupid fucking waste of money.

Imagine how unpopular you have to be to spend $45 million on a birthday party and no one shows up.

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 19 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Maybe he’s just weird and stupid enough to unite the country in a singular loathing of this bonkers gobshite chancer.

Books are where it's at!

[–] D_C@lemm.ee 9 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

Was the top pic taken during the parade, or before it started?
I ask because if it was during then damnnnnn that's gotta hurt his narcissistic ego so bad that it'll burn his hair weave off!!
Please, tell me it was during. Please please!!

[–] Sir_Kevin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 8 hours ago

I don't know about OP's picture but this one is certainly during. Almost nobody in the stands!

I hope he’s crying into his McDonalds.
