Ah yes, serving the true needs of the people which is to make him more wealthy and themselves far worse off, because he's worth it.

This will be a turning point in the US history. But i don't know whether it's gonna be a good or bad one.

I'm just waiting for Yellowstone to go off. Positive change can't happen without something brutal. That's the one I hope for. Or just an asteroid hitting DC that would be dope.

how about asteroid impact, probably 10 ish km wide at 10-15miles per second hit yellowstone, also made mostly of IRON.

Im talkin about a big ol’ chunk of rock the size of Minnesota, plowing into Minnesota

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago)

well a rock the size of minnesota, you wouldnt have to worry about the usa or any country, it would take a large chunk out of the planet. it only takes the moon to be very close to earth in order to destabalize the crust.

Call me when he wins anything meaningful. He’s an asshole, an immigrant, and the most he has is fake fans from a website that people still call by its last name.

This is just attention seeking. There was a pole about Americans wanting a third party, but we have some. They really haven’t done much due to the mechanics of our voting system.

It is funny that he is acting like there arent already third parties. The Green and Libertarian parties have done meaningless vote splitting for decades now. I think maybe he thinks they are inconsequential, and even though he's had no political experience before last year he'll dominate at election time
