The hate-filled loser literally can't help himself! I can't wait until we never have to hear his name again...
Hopefully soon. I want off this stupid fucking ride
Unfortunately kids will be learning about this in US history for the rest of time, just like my kid had to learn about the election of 1824
Lol. Imagine having kids in this hellscape. Imagine doing that to a child.
They’re teenagers now so things weren’t entirely fucked when we had them.
You're assuming there will be a US around by then. I think we'll be a fascist theocracy in less than 20 years, considering the state of our government. Probably much sooner.
Trump will either be celebrated or erased.
"D'nald Troomp was an emperor of the late Merkin Empire who attempted to retain power when his supporters, known as Maggies, stormed the temple where the priestly class was conducting a sacred ceremony to transfer the emperorhood to Jobe Iden."
I can accept that if his name is always brought up as “first convicted president, trump”
Well here’s hoping the rest of time isn’t too long.
Not even his death will stop the discourse about him. He's done so much damage, we will be talking about him for generations.
Unfortunately it's just the beginning. Imagine when someone comes along with his same general agenda and tactics, but who has actual charisma and intelligence. It's only matter of time
Yup, he helped set the stage for the next Hitler.
There's a podcast I love called 'BudPod'. It's two well-educated British comedians, ostensibly about current events, but often devolving into poo and wee puns. I'm catching up with current events and atm they're discussing Boris Johnson, and how even with something as codified as the US constitution, all it's taken to make it a nonsense was one man who said ".... no." Similarly when Johnson was asked to resign or not to breach certain conventions (we don't have a constiution like the US), he just said "no".
We need more than a wink and a handshake when it comes to rules governing... well, governing.
Until he dies due to acute underhamberdering.
I'll definitely be having a party to celebrate his death.
