Joey B himself isn't updating his own Twitter page.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

*gasp*

[-] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

His Twitter page speaks for the US government (@POTUS). This reflects poorly on the US, if nothing else.

Dude if you've ever struggled getting your pants legs onto your legs this past month I don't want to hear a fucking thing from you about some intern uploading DCIM_2938484.jpg instead of DCIM_2938483 as a pic for a post on a goddamn microblog site

[-] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

So the US cares so little for it's relationship with Vietnam that it can't be bothered to find an intern they can put on their pants?

At this point I'd be surprised if Joe was capable of wiping his own ass without assistance.

edit: thanks for letting me know just how triggered y'all are 😂

Buying into the bullshit I see. Great look my guy. Even if it were true (it’s not), you’re gonna have a real hard sell trying to prove that point when 3 years of Biden looks a whole hell of a lot less demented and more cohesive than 4 years of Trump.

One comes off as an old man who still has his faculties. The other comes off as a raving madman who can barely string a cohesive string of words together without everyone in the room struggling to figure out if he had a stroke or not.

While there’s a lot to be said about the elderly being in these extremely important political roles, I’ll take 8 years of Biden over one more second of Trump or any of the next 6 republican candidates combined.

To come to any other conclusion after everything we have seen is essentially an endorsement of madness and anti American propaganda perpetuated by internal traitors and external enemies. Full stop. No debate.

So in so many words, congratulations, you played yourself. And we are here to see it. That’s not embarrassing or anything.

lol I don't even live in your shithole country

[-] [email protected] 25 points 10 months ago

Does this somehow absolve you of a shit take? No it does not. Don’t get mad because you got called on it. Be mad at yourself for failing to think critically.

[+] [email protected] -28 points 10 months ago

The only shit take is your own. Biden is very obviously is not mentally suited to run a country, and the fact that your democratic party can't find anybody more competent says volumes about how far the collapse of your empire has progressed. The only one getting made here is you while spewing a bunch of nonsense. Maybe try to take your own advice and try to think critically about what's happening in the shithole you inhabit.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

Hey man nice try, you did your best.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Take a read through OPs post history. They and their identical alts are bought and paid for astroturfing accounts.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Sounds about right.

[+] [email protected] -14 points 10 months ago

you should really take your meds

[-] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Awwwh. You should be prouder of what you are. And if what you are is embarrassing to you, maybe you should not do those things? It’s not to late to give up the Rubles. They’re basically worthless anyway.

[+] [email protected] -13 points 10 months ago

Unlike the guy who thinks that everybody who disagrees with him is a paid shill, I have absolutely nothing to be embarrassed about. The fact that you don't even realize how insane you sound is really just the cherry on top. The tradition of getting the dumbest takes possible coming out lemm.ee continues. 😂

[-] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Wait, you don’t get paid? You’re this much of a terminally online, lemmygrad schmuck, for free? That’s even sadder! 😂🤣😂. Ohmahgawd.

Edit: the mental picture of you furiously logging into your alts to downvote this thread, as if that means anything, is hilarious. Cope and seethe , little buddy.

[+] [email protected] -11 points 10 months ago

I've got nothing to cope and seethe about, nice projection though. Life is gonna get hard for you in the coming years, and I almost feel bad for you.

[-] [email protected] -2 points 10 months ago

Lol. You’d have to leave your babushkas basement before you can try and make my life as shitty as yours. Astroturf all you want, and I know you will because it’s all you’ve got, but you’ll still be you. And I’ll still be me. And that’s a massive fucking “L” for you.

[-] [email protected] 15 points 10 months ago

Someone wrote down the wrong notes. F

[-] [email protected] 14 points 10 months ago

I was prepared to almost defend them if the photo had been of the General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam, since he has more de facto power in Vietnam than the President does and you can kinda see how that mistake would have been made. Even then it would have been an awful blunder that someone whose literal job is to represent his country to the leaders of other countries shouldn’t be making (and neither should his PR team), but you could follow how it happened.

But it’s not even that. It’s the Chairman of the National Assembly. The equivalent of the US Speaker of the House. Pretty indefensible blunder.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago

Yeah whatever aide is in charge of this probably got quite the talking-to!

[-] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

This is a massive diplomatic error from the US government. In fact, it came from the US government Twitter handle @POTUS. Just because an aide made the issue doesn't make this issue not reflect poorly on the US.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Where in my reply did I say anything to the contrary?

[-] emergencyfood 6 points 10 months ago

since he has more de facto power in Vietnam than the President does

I get what you are saying, but I would expect whoever runs the US President's social media accounts to understand that 'President' is a figurehead position in a lot of countries. Our President probably has less actual power than our PM, Speaker, (federal) ministers and even the Vice-President.
