Sooooo, are we like in a ceasefire, or no?

[–] vga@sopuli.xyz 18 points 10 hours ago

That went well.

[–] DontRedditMyLemmy@lemmy.world 37 points 12 hours ago (4 children)

I'm so confused. I thought there was a 2 week cease fire starting today?

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 4 points 5 hours ago

Depends if you are one of Pedonald's investment buddies.

[–] bold_atlas@lemmy.world 18 points 7 hours ago

Everything is a lie unless an Iranian official confirms it. That is the new order of things.

[–] maniacalmanicmania@aussie.zone 14 points 9 hours ago

This post is older than the ceasefire announcement.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 3 points 11 hours ago

just like Putin does a ceasfire, then immediately attacks after, in which TRUMP gets his advice from.

is this list accurate and not embellished for comedic effect?

Is he going to nuke them I wonder? What else could that final threat be?

The USA is a second-world country. There are no first-world countries.

He's the biggest fucking dumbass in the universe.

[–] Ziro427@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Nah, not so long as there's someone who will believe a word he says.

"Who's the bigger dumbass? The dumbass or the dumbass who follows him?"

[–] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 62 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago) (4 children)

I like your post. 50 years from now, high school students are going to open their US History book and read what the orange bumble fuck said during a war he started. Humiliating and perhaps the Americans might learn a lesson from the MAGA disaster.

[–] Madzielle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 4 hours ago

USians need to be humbled, I say as I live here.

[–] GreenBeanMachine@lemmy.world 11 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago) (1 children)

Americans learning true history, instead of propaganda?

Never gonna happen. When orange turd dies, there will be zero changes to your democratic system and a new pedophile controlled by billionaires will be elected.

[–] sturmblast@lemmy.world -2 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

If you think your government isn't lying to you... I have some news

[–] GreenBeanMachine@lemmy.world 5 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago) (1 children)

I'm talking about education and the American capitalist propaganda and brainwashing in American schools.

Did you know that in the USA about 70% of the history curriculum in schools is USA history, and only about 30% is about the rest of the world. But the USA is not even 250 years old!

Compare that with Europe, where kids spend about 30% of the time learning about their own country's history and 70% learning other history.

Americunts don't even realise just how brainwashed and full of capitalist propaganda they are.

[–] sturmblast@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

Preaching to the choir. Good job ignoring what your government is lying about while doubling down on obvious common knowledge.

[–] kbobabob@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 5 hours ago

Considering what they are trying to do to this generations history books, I do wonder what they will contain in 50 years.

[–] jtrek@startrek.website 40 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

If americans could learn we wouldn't have a 2nd trump presidency. We're on average stupider than bart with the cupcakes.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 8 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

This combination of generations is lost. Most of the age groups are either pushing for things to get worse, ignoring things that are bad or rooting on the coming apocalypse. It'll get better when we get a few more new gens in the game, asuming it can be recovered

[–] aesthelete@lemmy.world 10 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

It's all just inequality dressed up as something else. People are miserable here because it's a country by and for rich people which even the rich don't enjoy in the end. Rich people exploit that sense of misery to give us...king-size diaper donny as president twice.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 hours ago

Not that long ago, a single factory worker made enough to buy a small house, a car, have 2 kids and take a 2 week yearly vacation.

We're really pumping the gas on inequity.

That's the thing I was wondering about the TACO meme. Is it good to mock him on chickening out when it is best for everybody that he does chicken out?

[–] No1@aussie.zone 14 points 16 hours ago

In that case, we should reinforce good behaviour by praising him:

Trump Admirably Chickened Out

Beautiful. Thanks for compiling this.

From that, he does seem to have been getting a lot more agitated over the past week. We'll see how that translates into actions.

[–] Linken@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago

I can’t take credit I copy/pasted- but everyone should see it!

Out of curiosity I checked out how Fox News is covering this shit show. Totally fucking unhinged is an understatement. He could livestream eating a baby and they'd be praising his bold nutritional choices.

It's wild. Meanwhile, other mainstream media channels are accused of leftist propaganda by these deranged lunatics, simply for reporting the facts.

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 23 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

Dude at work randomly walked up and said Iran is gonna be a nice parking lot. Like I've known you two weeks and my toolbox is covered in socialist stickers, either you can't read or you're real real fuckin dense.

funny is that most of the MSM are owned by right wing conservatives, they are more or less the same. fox, OAN, NEWSMAX is just pure propaganda.

Iran has been calling his bluff at every point. Not surprising.

Hilarious to see. Would be great if it didn't ruin everything while being hilarious though.

[–] evenglow@lemmy.world 125 points 23 hours ago (3 children)

Republicans had a choice. They chose to make things worse. They can't complain about laughing out of frustration or dark humor. Not after decades of sabotaging America so they could finally control USA.

[–] HuudaHarkiten@piefed.social 82 points 23 hours ago (24 children)

Republicans had a whole bunch of choices. They still have a lot of choices. They keep choosing to do the stupid and/or evil choice. I'll be laughing at them and what happens to Americans for years or decades.

I'm more concerned about the rest of the world having to deal with the consequences of moronic republican decisions.

Americans if this is not the time for second amendment I don’t fucking know what it. This is Munich 1938, it’s now or deal with a king and a world war where you guys are the Nazis.

The opposition has been infighting and soon you’ll all be silenced too. Before Germany invaded Europe, they stamped out any dissent within their borders first. Throwing the growing list of undesirable in camps without due process.

It’s not like this is already happening in America is it? 🤔 But really Americans how much more do you need? And don’t just throw your arms up in the air and dodge blame while you sit on your couch watching Netflix.

Your country was won by fat farmers and every profession in between when they realized it was UNITE OR DIE

No one in their right mind talks with a lunatic.

By acting crazy and threatening people, dj appears to have made up his own mind long ago.

[–] OctopusNemeses@lemmy.world 29 points 19 hours ago (3 children)

This could be a blessing in disguise. He called Biden a retard on Monday. He's now upped the threats a notch.

Could be he got some very bad health news from Walter Reed medical over the weekend.

[–] Clbull@lemmy.world 93 points 23 hours ago (16 children)

The US had a perfectly good nuclear deal with Iran, but Trump chose to rip it up nine years ago because it had Obama's name on it.

Should come to no surprise that Iran don't want to end this crisis diplomatically with the same guy who stabbed them in the back just to spite the Democrats...

Trump sparked anger and concern around the globe on Tuesday morning with his post, which read, “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS? We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end. God Bless the Great People of Iran!”

I've not read the full wording of his Truth Social post until now, but why does it read like he's trying to cut a wrestling promo?

I mean his description of the US airman rescue operation in yesterday's press conference where he called the Iranian army a "hostile, very talented, very good, very evil military" was giving me Danhausen vibes...
