I can't seem to recall a time when presidents advertised themselves outside of an election cycle.

[–] uss_entrepreneur@startrek.website 89 points 6 months ago (4 children)

And when he’s supposedly ineligible to run again

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 56 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (3 children)

We're in a dictatorship. He'll probably start making everyone put a photo of him up in their home.

Excuse me, I am not english, but shouldn't it be called dicktraitorship?

[–] SanctimoniousApe@lemmings.world 5 points 6 months ago

When he inevitably outlaws saying anything bad about him, I'm gonna use this as my stand-in codename for him: "Dick Traitor couldn't shit this morning, so later it all came out his mouth on TV."

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

On the dartboard right?

Right?

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

no one said it had to face the room

[–] Pavidus@lemmy.world 18 points 6 months ago

Yup. Just totally normal things.

[–] BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 9 points 6 months ago

In ineligible the last time, too. Since he led an insurrection and the US Constitution has some specific things to say about that. But here we are.

[–] lurch@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 months ago

Yeah, that's what dictators do.

Before the election he told his voters "in four years, you don't have to vote again. We'll have it fixed so good, you're not gonna have to vote."

There is no date on this post. Could be from 9 years ago. Could be from one year ago.

[–] Medic8teMe@lemmy.ca 21 points 6 months ago

Dictator. He is a fascist dictator.

[–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 6 points 6 months ago

what about a dear leader?

[–] Lucky_777@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

No president was shameless enough to fill their pockets so openly.

[–] hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 44 points 6 months ago (5 children)

I don't really understand freedom units but 40x60 feet sounds very wrong

[–] fartographer@lemmy.world 41 points 6 months ago (3 children)

No, 40x60 is correct. Vertical feet are shorter than horizontal feet due to gravity.

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 23 points 6 months ago

Don't give imperial units any ideas!

[–] SanctimoniousApe@lemmings.world 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

So you're saying I'll be much taller if I just become an astronaut? I'm moving to the moon, baby!

[–] fartographer@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Much? No. But noticeably! I mean, until your eyeballs stop working...

I know this is about microgravity, but I gotta find some sort of sand to kick in your face for having dreams.

[–] hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 6 months ago

Ah, that makes sense.

[–] KickMeElmo@sopuli.xyz 25 points 6 months ago

I would assume 20x60

[–] ReputedlyDeplorable@sh.itjust.works 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Could be, but my dad would get old billboards to use as tarps for hay. The hay barn roof leaked so we had to cover the stacks inside. The hay barn was 60x100ft and we would get tarps that spanned the width, so at least 60ft.

[–] onslaught545@lemmy.zip 10 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I think they're meaning the aspect ratio is not correct for 40x60. The sign would need to be taller for those measurements to make sense.

Ahh, yes, I did not catch that. Thanks!

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

yeah that looks like a 4:1 ratio or close to it

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)
[–] Dicska@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I think it's about the ratio. 40*60 is 2:3, and this looks more like a 1:3 (3:1, if you like). It's much thinner than 2 squares * 3 squares.

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

Yeah okay I see what you're getting at now.

[–] NaibofTabr 36 points 6 months ago

Should've happened when he refused to turn over all those classified documents they found at Mar-a-Lago. He should be occupying a cell at Leavenworth right now.
