The fact an official gov channel is posting this kind of childish shit is abhorrent and embarrassing. If I pulled shit like this at my job I’d be thrown out. Fucking slime.
Not just government – the official White House account. It’s… dystopian…
It’s… dystopian…
We’ve already used up our big words in February. Supercynical “I have no words” in March.
Now, the horror getting worse every day has become the new normal coming out of the US, every day, steady as a slow machine gun.
Had I known how much worse it’s going to get I’d have saved up some words during the first months.
Nah in Dystopias the megacorps and evil governments tend to be intelligent and refined with armored limousines and some sense of style, even the glutenous autocrat steriotype tends to have a kind of weird refinement or at least be intelligent enough to not be ridiulous in public, or at least in the presence of a large number of guys with guns who can look meaningfully at anyone who might laugh.
What this is, is some weird idiocracy shit only without any of the redeeming characteristics of the people in that film.
Actually, dystopia is basically a ‘bad’ (dys-) ‘place’ (-topia). So the common view of what a dystopia looks like is not the only way it can look. Being ruled by dumb toddlers that break everything in their way is a very different dystopia than one with evil megacorps but it is still quite dystopian to me.
Thank you for using Idiocracy in the correct context. I hate always seeing it used as-is without any caveats.
I don’t know how to express this feeling I have properly so bear with me. I kinda hate the reference of political office as a job. It’s not really a job. It’s a position of societal power. One that should come with, frankly, deadly consequences when people in that position of power start talking like this. This is a branch of the government saying fuck the courts and their decision. There should be blood over that. Equating it to a job just rubs me wrong. Not to shit on you, I have no problem with what you said, I agree with it even. Just expressing general thoughts
Yeah, a duty to hundreds of millions of people and the future, that one has to volunteer for and convince a plurality of their fitness for… not just a job that you should be able to neglect, let alone subvert.
the people have a duty to punish those that abuse that position

Btw I’m new here
Welcome, bootlicker. Hope you stay. ❤️
Bro you aren’t shitting on my post at all and I 100 percent agree.
“Civil Servant.”
That’s actually how democracy is understood in France ! The office you hold is a privilege and a responsibility : executive power delegated to you by the will of the people, underpinned by the rule of law.
You know your country political idea/marketplace of idea is turning to shit when the majority yearn for a providential man that will fix all their problem with the magic wand of repression and prejudice.
I didn’t notice who posted it on X until I read your comment and I just…I’m shocked I am shocked by this because I feel like I’ve been getting numb to the stupidity of the last ~4 months
If I pulled shit like this at my job I’d be thrown out.
Well they’re supposed to work for us, so what’s the next step?
Omg. I just realized this is really from The white house???!!??
I thought this was some stupid meme… Omg
I just can’t even…omg
You should see the other stuff they post now: https://xcancel.com/WhiteHouse/
Oh dear fuck i looked at it and they made a covid.gov site that claims that covid originated from lab in Wuhan and was leaked. That fringe conspiracy now being peddled by the white house.
That’s actually not unlikely, but the way china handles critical information we will never be sure.
I imagine they also have other false claims on there that are much worse though.
Yeah, it’s one thing to make it known that it is a possible explanation, it’s another to claim that it is a fact without evidence.
I’m gobsmacked.
What is xcancel?
A service that proxies and cleans xitters content so musk doesn’t get the money from the few advertisers left in that cesspool
Thank you, that sounds great
It also enables a few of the older features, like being able to read replies to a Tweet, now that the website formerly known as Twitter bars it if you’re not logged in.
You’re not alone. I see this shit and I say aloud “woww” and pass my phone to my partner. I’ve never seen such unhinged shit from the official white house communications team.
This is stuff any self-respecting 15yo would be embarrassed to post. I know they have been posting other cringey memes recently too. Seems like the person managing the account came straight from 4chan.
cruelty is the point. guns.
Classless.
That official White House X-account is really something. The utter shamelessness combined with the harrowing inhumanity would make Goebbels blush.
At the same time it is so honest and clear about the Trump administration’s perspective on things it’s refreshing. They don’t hold back, there is no secret agenda, they just put it all out in the open for the Americans and the whole world to see. They really feel invincible.
Would be shame if someone used it as evidence in a contempt hearing or impeachment trial.
The people will have a trial if the lawyers cannot.
And if Gotham wasn’t so fucking corrupt, that wouldn’t of had to happen. Now it’s a better city for it.
I think that judges have had enough. Boasberg of DDC has already released a criminal contempt order and by the looks of it, Xinis of Maryland district is also getting pretty pissed.
The question, though, is what the judiciary is going to do with these seemingly inevitable contempt rulings. Let’s just say I’m not terribly excited about the prospect of fines unless that’s just the opening salvo.
I just hope they alienate enough people fast enough that we can see an actual effective check to this rogue administration. They’re taking a lot of power pretty fast but also burning a lot of bridges.
I’m afraid they might burn more than bridges if they are opposed by an actual effective check.
If that’s what it takes to stop them, so be it.
I don’t see how this attempt to speed-run a dictatorship is going to work well for them. You’re supposed to turn up the heat slowly, so the frog doesn’t notice that they’re boiling until it’s too late.
Because they know something the rest of us don’t - that they will never have to pander for votes ever again, because there will never be another election on the country.
I’m sure that’s what they think.
I wouldn’t say there is no secret agenda. It’s clear the administration is not in the loop of what the secret agenda is. Their blatant anti-everything-non-white and overall incompetence and ignorance is enough right now to keep the divide and conquer going.
They had their chance to show MS 13 gang membership in court, and failed. Screaming it over from podiums/media doesn’t make it true, or a basis for jail/death camps.
These psychos truly believe that the truth is anything they say it is.
Because their followers seem to accept everything they say as truth. It has been working.
The Republicans embraced Faith-Based Thinking long ago, in which people believe ANYTHING they are told, as long as it comes from an authority figure they trust, such as a politician, clergy, boss, cop, etc. That’s the perfect target for a politician (or conman) whose entire authority is built on lies.
Thats why they pandered so strongly to evangelicals, who have demonstrated their predisposition to believe to their absolute core the most outlandish fairy tales and myths written by neolithic goatherders, and tailor their entire lives around them. If they’ll believe that nonsense, they’ll believe the idiotic math of conservative economic concepts like Trickle Down, and anything else.
And that’s why Republicans have been so critical of, and hostile toward, ANY educational standards. Stupid people are easier to recruit and indoctrinate, because they lack the Critical Thinking Skills required to reject obvious propaganda, and are more receptive of an entertaining delivery over the veracity of the message.
HitlerPig even said it out loud: “I love the poorly educated.” Faith-based Thinking is why.
Religion makes people believe crazy shit
destroy all religion for the sake of humanity
This is the White House response, see if you can spot the fallacy: https://xcancel.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1913358867708493982#m
Didn’t Ivanna accuse him of rape after she referred him to her doctor for a scalp reduction to make his bald spot less obvious and he got botched so he blamed her for it and then did the thing? Talk about bad people in the US some more, Trumplethinskin.
E: Ivanna not Ivanka, and scalp reduction not scalp removal
Oh interesting. I read it in the more recent book “Hiding in Plain Sight” but my memory is spotty.
Thanks for the reference.
Yes. She fell down the stairs and died so we will never get to ask anymore questions. Seems like a lot of trumps besties end up dead
Ivanna, not Ivanka.
That is obviously shopped. Is the real photo anywhere?
The idea is that every sign is a symbol: Marijuana, Smile (Sonreír), a cross which is a symbol for 1, and a skull, which in Spanish is called cráneo, a word beginning by a c, the 3rd letter of the alphabet. All together they make “MS13”. The photoshoped letters and numbers are a legend.
I have no idea if this is things gangs do. And if it’s a gang tattoo, that doesn’t mean he is a member (he may just like the gang aesthetics, people do weird things), and if he is a member, that’s not important, because guilty or not, he deserves a trial.
This seems unrealistically convoluted, to the level of someone who’s just looking for evidence of a conspiracy. A gang symbol is a bit rubbish if you need a cryptography manual to identify it. The whole point of a gang symbol is to advertise that you belong to the gang.
You could probably find a trifecta of 3s and link him to the Illuminati if you tried hard enough.
These are the people who guzzle down Qanon
Yeah it looks like bullshit, but who knows.
Exactly! I dont give shit if he killed people on camera and confessed to a crowd. He has to go to court.
Truth doesn’t matter to them, only power.
Screaming it over and over has never failed hi. So far.
The most heavily armed country in the world is run by someone with the emotional intelligence of a rhubarb and a cohort of sycophants. This is gonna bode well.
The jury’s already come back in: it’s not boding. It’s already been bade.
When the worst case scenario is a nuclear wasteland what’s been happening is Disneyland
But his antics and crimes haven’t changed since his first term. What we’re seeing isn’t some new portents of doom; it’s the long resolution of the omen that was “a second Trump presidency”. Until he’s removed from office, all this will be is the “prophesized” descent.
Is Disneyland a nuclear wasteland?
Only on peak days
Nuka-world
This is wild fucking times, civil war is coming.
Yeah send me the meme bro, i dont see the muricans getting their guns yet, they have to be starving
They’re gonna be at the Canadian border blocking aid from entering in through Montana to reach the starving Wyomingans.
I will watch it on tikkyok for the lolz, through some kind of non tikytoky interface that protects me from elon musk or google or whoever owns the stream. Maybe eztv.
I imagine Nazi Germany would have made very similar Tweets if Twitter was around back then.
They’re already openly saying there will never be another administration after this, either one way or another.
They know he can’t live forever, right?
They know, that’s why the oligarchs will prop another one.
I am of the opinion that Trump is a pazi should shit hits the fan. The billionaires-- the true rulers-- will be scot free if the American people decide to rise up.
Nah. We are taking names, and addresses of the oligarchs. Not just in our country either. I wouldn’t be surprised if this has already caused a bunch of US Veterans to go deep into hiding, just so they can snipe all the billionaires, the moment they get a chance.
One can hope, but most US veterans would gladly volunteer to be members of his death squads as soon as they get that far in their takeover.
They’ll just let Ivanka take his father’s place
Yes, but have you ever seen a vice president as visible and vocal as this one?
That’s a good point, but I don’t think Vance has the charisma to step into Trump’s boots. For all of Donald’s faults, and there are many, he is a very charismatic person. He has (or had depending on his level of senility) a natural skill at making people around him like him when he wants to. I don’t think Vance has those skills and without Trump to rally around MAGA as we know it won’t live past Trump. Now a form neo-MAGA can emerge, or it can crumble but thankfully JD doesn’t have what it takes to carry Trump’s torch.
If the system gets rigged enough, Trump won’t be necessary. Cultists will not drop their position and they have infinite money and all the media to keep this “magic” going.
I obviously have a different definition of “charismatic” to many other people, because Trump has zero charisma in my eyes. He was repugnant in the 80s and he’s repugnant today.
That’s because you’re not a vapid narcissist who only ever uses people and are probably a boring regular everyday person who can see that bullshit from a mile away. I still think he has high charisma, but yeah he’s definitely not rolling 30s like other big personalities.
The MAGA-sect comments are really frightening. Big resemblance to the Waffen-SS supporters like back in the day.
The first word I’d remove is “Deported”. Reporters, editors, citizens should stop using the crimebosses’ lingo & framing. Mr. Abrego García is a (noncriminal) US resident. He wasn’t deported. He’s a first-generation American, #ABDUCTED by thugs, #TRAFFICKED by armed mercenaries, to a FOREIGN #tortureprison for profit, #slavery, #disinfo and #disruption.
Republicans and the Conservative Propaganda Machine has controlled the narrative in this country, political and otherwise, and your post is a perfect demonstration of it.
If Dems ever want to regain power, they need to learn how to counter the MAGA lies, and promote their own message loudly and clearly, and stop letting the Conservative Propaganda Machine define EVERYTHING.
If Dems ever want to regain power, they need to learn how to counter the MAGA lies,…
Nope. This will never end under the regular rules. This is going to take violence and things on fire to stop.
I agree with you, but during the Civil War, the Dems are also going to have to have a dominant message to counter the Conservative Propaganda Machine, which is extremely mature at this point. They can’t win with just one or the other, its going to take both, and probably a whole lot more as well.
Funny you’d think most of the democratic party* would be on our side. Just look how few are speaking out now.
Abducted or kidnapped?
So…
When he does come back, how fucking weak and stupid is Trump going to look?
He seems to think this is some liberal bullshit, he doesn’t even realize that he’s crossed the line
I’m remembering his full-page ads calling for the death penalty for the Central Park 5.
Garcia and his family have slam-dunk civil cases against Trump in both his personal and professional capacities.
Ok. Now let’s see the court enforcing any of it.
Even if the courts are all in, you need someone in law enforcement willing to act against him.
Jack Smith is out of office.
FYI, Federal Justices can hire special prosecutors & deputize citizens as federal marshals, they don’t actually need the DoJ to administer justice.
The Presidental pardon is the only issue here, but kidnapping is also a state crime.
They would have to declare him illegitimate and thus intelligible to grant pardon. Which he is under the 14th amendment.
They would also need to ignore the supreme court, but if we ever get that far, it goes without saying.
The president cannot pardon a state crime. Kidnapping is both a state and a federal crime. If convicted in state court, the president is powerless to pardon.
Their defamation case is going to be open & shut.
Uh huh, and then what? Wake me up when he actually experiences any kind of consequences for his actions.
It can not be real. Opens the link… HOLY SHIT
Biden had pea soup for brains and still the executive branch was more functional than this.
I don’t know about that. The Trump team has been very sucessful this time around.
It’s just that what they consider a sucess is really, really bad for the world.
