    I quietly approve of this. In 50 years I want that young generation to look back and realize just how corrupt and insane he was. Denials and excuses will abound. The more insanity he commits the better without costing money, global stability, and lives.

      The recent video of Trump talking about the Iran War, while the anthropomorphic Easter bunny was standing besides him, was wild. I can only assume that parts of Trump’s staff knows this is unsustainable, and are deliberately not stopping Trump from making such demonstrations of his mental decline.

    “I flew to Iraq. I was extremely brave. So brave I wanted to give myself the Congressional Medal of Honor,” he said, adding that he asked his “people” if he was allowed to do so. “Someday I’m gonna try. I’m gonna test the law.”

    He made similar comments during his State of the Union address later that month.

    “I’ve always wanted the Congressional Medal of Honor, but I was informed I’m not allowed to give it to myself, and I wouldn’t know why I’d be taking it,” Trump said. “But if they ever open up that law, I will be there with you someday.”

    This is not how a sane person speaks.

      An important lesson that psychopaths and narcissists do not have the same inner life as you do. Trying to predict them using yourself as model will lead you astray.

        You literally have never made a comment on this platform which isn’t talking shit about Americans for supposedly deserving what’s happening here. You’re a bad person. A morally corrupt dog shit human who delights in innocent people getting hurt. I hope karma gives you back all the hatred you put into the world.

              We have no options

              That’s just not true. You can call your representatives and ask them to, you know, represent you. You can organize or participate in protests, boycotts, and mutual aid programs. You can have tough conversations with the conservatives in your life that are also having a bad time now. Hell, if you truly feel this powerless in your own country, you can stash cash, get your documents together, and flee if you really want.

              I’m an American. I acknowledge that this situation sucks. But I’m not throwing my hands up and saying, “Ho hum. Nothing i can do until 2028, when I might get to vote for the lesser of two evils again…” Like, you do need to try. Democracy is falling apart because a third of the country figures their political actions don’t matter, so they don’t try.

                You’re right. There are things we can do. I’m more just referring to the feeling of powerless against the issues at the federal level. This user is always being extremely negative and shitty, apparently about the fact that Americans haven’t overthrown the federal government yet

                  That is a bizarre intention to project on someone you don’t know. I assure you, I can’t wait until Americans stop stepping on their own balls. You guys are due for a break.

            Oh, it’s okay. Give him a break. He’s just a cute, weird little guy dealing with the guilt over his own inaction in the face of fascism. He likes to follow me around. I personally throw him an upvote whenever I notice, he’s desperate to be seen white knighting for equally white liberals. Happy to help out.

              Delusional at best. But I know you don’t actually believe that. You intend harm. It’s obvious, all anyone needs to do is glance at your profile.

                You’re the ones ensuring no end in sight to the harm.

                Upvoted, though, you big charmer. Smooches.

                  Yeah, the upvotes I get are definitely from you being sarcastic and definitely not from a community that has also noticed what a piece of shit you are. Thank “you” for sometimes giving me several upvotes though.

    Ofc he does. He is a fucking loser too stupid and untalented to be able to earn any award on his own. He is jealous of those who EARNED that medal, so ofc the snowflake wants one.

        Or, failing that, perhaps a millstone.

        “But whoso shall cause one of these little ones who believe in Me to fall, it were better for him that a millstone were hung about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.” - Matthew 18:6.

    distinguish themselves conspicuously by gallantry and intrepidity, risking loss of life above and beyond the call of duty

    Trump definitely distinguished himself conspicuously by intrepidly attacking other countries ,risking loss of soldiers’ lives above and beyond the call of a president’s duty.

    They say the empty can rattles the most.

    We, the American people, elected the empty can. How can we look ourselves in the mirror ever again, unless we make ourselves just as empty?
