    I’ve never seen Apocalypse Now, but I get the feeling Trump has never seen Apocalypse Now.

        What about them ? Jay “Chef” Hicks
        Lance B. Johnson
        Roxanne Sarrault

        I asked the machine, here is what it said

        Jay "Chef" Hicks	Cowardice, instability, disloyalty, inability to cope with war.
        Lance B. Johnson	Emotional detachment, negligence, descent into madness.
        Roxanne Sarrault	Colonial arrogance, moral ambiguity, emotional manipulation.
        

        I have a hard time calling them pieces of shit for that. Seems normal to me to refuse to play the game of war and recognizing military duty as the infectious spook that it is.

    dude honestly thinks he is the shit. If there was ever a pit fight between world presidents, I would bet money on him losing his first fight in the first five seconds.

    I accidentally scheduled a vacation to Chicago during Mexican Independence Day, which apparently is a huge deal in Chicago. When I got there, the entire downtown area was completely shut down as Mexicans had been roaring up and down every street in trucks for the last two days. The Chicago PD had blockaded every exit off the highway within two miles of downtown to try and stop it. It didn’t- it just limited them to doing it on the highway breakdown lanes and the actual fucking grass medians.

    The moral of the story? If the above is what the Mexican population of Chicago does for fun, I’d dread to see what they do in the face of an actual threat.

      Probably several real reasons… and i think he just throws shit at the wall until he finds something that sticks but this one stuck because among his followers it ticks several boxes…

      He already did a dry run in Los Angeles, literally chasing harmless day laborers through Home Depot parking lots. Newsom (Cali Gov) made it more difficult by trolling him on social media. (I realize how insane that sounds but he just has the temperament of a teenage boy). So he is probably thinking of something even more insane to do to us in Cali or at least knows he’s playing with fire.

      New York he is lowkey working on a deal with Cuomo (former mayor now running as a spoiler candidate to the socialist who beat him in the primary election).

      Chicago is an easier target. The only other city I’ve heard him float is New Orleans (which is unlike any other city I’ve been to in the states for its amazing seafood, bars, walkable areas, music, eg culture… notably Black culture)

      His mostly rural base loves it. Not only is it cities that they have been other-ing and blaming [insert South Park - They took 'er jobs meme] for their problems their whole lives. It is also abuse of minorities. So it is like saying “you know how you complain about cities and they happen to be brown and black. Im going to fix that problem and it just so happens to be by going after those people who don’t look like you. wink wink, nudge nudge”

    I refuse to look this up, it must remain potentially satire for the final thread of my sanity cannot take this being real

      No, we’re good. I know some people from the U.S., who still think nothing is wrong with the government. So we got to let the dumpster fire burn out a bit more.
