    trump isn’t a fraction as clever as he thinks he is, he uses bully tactics on the people around him, who are merely stooges and yes men/women,

    Has anyone in the White House said,

    I’m think you’re wrong sir?

    I've never thought that Trump is an idiot. In fact, I think that is quite a dangerous thing to think about because all it really does is cause his opponents to constantly underestimate him, which is what has happened over the last decade.

    He is smart, if in an animal cunning type way, of knowing how to appeal to the lowest common denominator, and not only has he managed to get himself elected as president of the USA twice, but he has also purged the Republican party of pretty much all dissent.

    Now, that is not to say he is not an ignoramus, because he certainly is a raging one in many ways, but ignorance and intelligence are often confused and conflated. He is utterly ignorant of political matters, especially concerning nuances contained therein. Couldn't give a toss about statecraft. He is not a learned man in most any of the day to day business a US president would typically engage in.

    But it doesn't matter to him or his followers because for him the presidency is entirely about entrenching his personal glory and subduing his enemies. Evidently, it doesn't matter to his followers, either.

    I would accept that Trump "got himself elected" the first time around (albeit in the context of US elections being bought rather than won) ; but Trump 2.0 wasn't his win. His first term had demonstrated what a useful puppet he was, and other more canny actors exploited him for their own purposes ... and continue to do so.

    While he was shouting crooked hilary he was paying off a pornstar with campaign funds to stay quite. His hypocrisy was was off the charts something he was found guilty on and be in jail not the WH.

    If trumps friend is using his satellites to target US assets in that region the next step would be for US satellites to do the same that's possible here…

    Plus you might get a deferment - being in University was one, some professor's were real d*cks about that. Also, medical (like bone spurs) and in the last draft 'conscientious objection' like Quakers and Amish and others.

    Daddy Trump bought Donnie a medical deferment enabling him to engage in NYC night club activity as his own personal Vietnam.

    This is a great idea, I'd worry a bit about the optics of it on May Day. Should've had one of these already in the US:

    "Date announced for national strike aimed at crippling Trump: 'No work, no school'"

    Saw a couple of reactions elsewhere to the destruction of the AWACS :

    "What air defence doing?"

    and

    "If the US can't protect a valuable air base like that, WTF are they doing sending thousands of fresh troops into the area?"

    Whatever about the people taking part in protest marches on US soil, I think at this stage, the label "dumb fcuks" can legitimately be applied to the brainless lemmings who board US ships and planes to serve a commander-in-chief who's happily chatting with the enemy during the week and even giving them money to target those same dumb fcuks.

    Its an example of military arrogance that refused to learn from Ukraine (and instead belittled their experience claiming they have no cards) claiming none of the lessons of that war apply to US

    Arrogance that stems directly from that imbecile Hegseth and Trump



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,874 ✭✭✭✭cnocbui


    Krasnov, the best agent the Orcs have ever fielded.

    AWACS destroyed.jpg

    That was an E-3 AWACS. They have also lost multiple refuelling aircraft, 4 irreplaceable THAAD radars, 3 F-15s… The Orcs are winning the war in Iran.

    The US have had no Kings rallies before, they changed nothing, so whats this one supposed to do? Nothing less than a week long general strike could budge this broken needle.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,682 ✭✭✭amacca


    In fairness if you are enlisted you do what you are ordered to do....

    Now if the gobshites voted for him a second time then I would be of the opinion the label could be apt

    Exert pressure and show popular support/dissent. How democracies basically work.

    The objections to and ridiculing of mass protest is utterly baffling to me.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,502 ✭✭✭Jinglejangle69


    China are sitting back watching America expose all its best military assets and still can’t defeat a severely weakened Iran.


    Taiwan must be looking pretty tempting right now.


    Trump with Hegseth are two of the dumbest POS Americans I have ever seen.

    They have weakened America's militarily in the eyes of the world and shown them to be clueless and TACO when it come to important decisions.


    The damage is irreversible.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,751 ✭✭✭Lewis_Benson


    America!

    It's **** time, get gim out to ****.

    How Can anyone support a peadophile warmonger, I dont get the stupidity.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,874 ✭✭✭✭cnocbui


    I'm not objecting to the protests, but given the Republicans in Congress are funded by Putrid and zionists and are conspicuously AWOL, such dmonstrations are impotent. The C grade democracy the US had, has been subourned. As I said, I think only a general strike is likely to have any appreciable impact.



  • Moderators, Sports Moderators, Paid Member Posts: 33,058 Mod ✭✭✭✭Podge_irl


    There are plenty of Republican Congressmen who have already shown they are complete cowards who will go whatever way the wind blows. They have an incredibly cushy number, and if they get repeated and strong indications that disengaging from Trump will allow them to continue on their gravy train there is far more chance they will do so.

    Protests such as these have led to the downfall of oligarchies and despots who never even had democratic legitimacy in the first place. It may only be a step on the way, but it is one that needs to be taken.

    Any kind of education strike probably just turns on the MAGA's - like they are looking at a group of children. MAGAs want uneducated idiots that will vote for them. Education is "woke" after all so.
