The year is 2026. You wake up to an alarm you asked the billionaire's AI girlfriend to set for you. You swipe away the ads to silence it. You sigh, dreading your next shift at the fulltime job that is struggling to pay your rent, as you reflect on the cosmic joke that is $8 gasoline as you begin your car-dependent 2 hour suburban commute. DING! Your phone has a notification: the president just DM'd you a liveleak gore video. What a time to be alive.

Where’s my verification can?
When I was a freshman in highschool me and a friend had to dig through the trenches of the internet to watch an old man get beat to death with a hammer in the woods. Morbid curiosity got the better of us and as a result the 2 guys 1 hammer video fucked me up for a while, but at least we had to dig around in little known websites to watch it. Now, kids are undoubtedly getting served videos like that through the president's own social posts.
You must watch until the end to get your breakfast credits at the Carls Jr kiosk.
Now the "President of the Free World" is sharing gore to distract from his absolute failure of an illegal unjustifiable war of aggression in support of a genocidal state (which is ethnically cleansing Lebanon as we speak) and the Epstein files.
If you had this shit on your bingo card, you're a time traveller, please take me out of this timeline
“President of the Free World”
Side note: as a non-American member of the 'free world', I've always fucking hated that expression.
As an American, me too.
Yeah, me too, I used the phrase ironically. A nation without universal healthcare has no business calling itself free to begin with, not to mention the entire prison industrial complex, abortion bans, and so on
I got that, but historically, it's been used anything but ironically by the news media, and it's always irked me.
I'm a USian living outside the US. I'm a lot freer than I ever was Stateside.
I've recently listened to a podcast from late 2024, wherein the invited expert predicted the attack on Iran, because a) Republican presidents use wars to distract from their shit policies, and b) Iran was the weakest of available options.
I saw the Iran war coming, and even the defeat, but I assumed Trump would just declare victory anyways and all of his base would just believe him and lap it up. I wasn't expecting him to crash out like this. I never would have foreseen him praising Allah on the timeline on Easter that's for damn sure!
If they can't convince you with facts, they'll try to trick you with emotions.
Now do war footage of attacks on civilians
I'm beginning to think media outlets lied about him refusing to see torture/murder videos of a reporter. He is very comfortable with heinous murder.
Exaxtly, because he's a psychopathic narcissist who takes sexual pleasure in other people's suffering.
One day, videos of that orange fuckwad's murder will be shared worldwide.
He’s so clueless he’s just using National presidential info outlets to post his personal crap. He has absolutely no sense of propriety or structure.
Just like that asshole that joins a niche topic social media group and then starts posting their politics and boomer humor posts that have fuckall to do with the topic. It’s a gardening group and trump shows up and starts posting videos of bombs blowing up Palestinian neighborhoods.
I no longer understand, nor want to understand wtf reality is anymore. I'm going go back to my delusional fantasy world for a while I think, maybe pretend to be a pirate again or something, I don't know, I just refuse to acknowledge reality anymore until it starts fucking acting normal again.
I think somehow we're in the Matrix. Except the machines bought the Matrix from Temu.
I hate that even in the universe creating our simulation, there's ridiculously stupid cost cutting going on.
It's all about the bottom line, in all dimensions.
Trump went on to accuse Biden of turning the US into a "dumping ground" for immigrants.
So who wants to tell him?
