Looks like he needs some sugar in water in that picture
- That really is an ill-fitting skin suit. It’s a couple sizes too big and has mostly dried out.
- He’s the reason I’m not so sure reptilians aren’t among us.
- Maybe he will put fentanyl in the water... It might make this administration bearable.
Herman Cain calling
- Rockin' you like a Herman Cain
It's this guy that might end up killing even more Americans than donvict did in his first term.
- I'm here for it. When bird flu goes viral, a lot of people are gonna hit the FO stage.
  
  I got lucky working retail during COVID, never caught it AFAIK, but now I'm post organ transplant and therefore immunocompromised. I'm not so excited for the idiots to spread this shit around.
  
  Which is likely everyone. I wish the idiots that brought this on were the only ones that had to bear the cost of their stupidity, but that's not how it works...
Canada should use this as an opportunity to cancel dairy quotas in CUSMA. RFK advocates for raw milk. The pubic safety is at risk.
It also gives the US a solid economic fuck you that costs us nothing. We don't really export any milk to them, so all it does is remove the competition in our dairy market. And CUSMA is dead anyway, Trump killed it.
They put a incompetent nutcase in charge of US health, an incompetent drunk in charge of national defense and a Russian agent in charge of Homeland security. Can you think of any people who would be more incompetent and damaging to the country?
- Well, the competent ones are zealots pursuing terrifying things. I'd say they're more damaging. Head of the OMB being a great example.
Photo editors are the Anonymous collective of corporate news sewers.
Another great work of art.
- I mean, you couldn't get him to look any more lobotomized if you tried. 10/10.
"The US" ain't done shit. You think a majority of your average Americans want him in charge??
- I know what you mean. But if trump really didn't rig the election, the US voted him in who put that guy in charge. The whole trickle down thing and all.
- Yes.
  To both.
  The USA is a military threat for fuck sake. He carves up the Ukraine, Greenland, and Canada on camera and uses “matter of national security”.
  Significantly more Americans will likely approve of him when the headlines down there do show a drop in grocery prices no matter how it happens.
  It’s at a laughable-if-it-wasn’t-literal-treason-let-alone-theft point.
  Literally Nazis. Canadians see that.
  
  Well firstly prices just won't go down, but also the sheer amount of insane horrible shit that would need to happen makes me skeptical that "a majority" of Americans would be on board. He barely scraped by with a third of the population in votes, and was immediately horribly unpopular.
Figures. He probably ate that guy, too.
Does anyone else think that this guy looks like he has even more makeup on than DJT? I’ve been getting weird vibes from his photos since I first saw him, now I may have figured it out.
Not the US, just one idiotic party that is full of like-minded assholes.
- Yes. THANK YOU.
  It needs to be acknowledged that it is Republicans that wanted this. All too often when they are up to bad things, you'll see terms like "Congress" did this, or "the United States" did that, in order to water down the who that is actually doing the awful thing.
  The "bothsides" narrative is what is destroying this country. It gives a pass to the worst elements of the Republican Party.
  
  And remember the Republican damage can be felt years down the line
  FAFSA changes this year was a Republican bill from 2019 shoehorned in the COViD relief bill at the end of the first round. My kids are losing thousands of dollars in financial aid for college this year from something with a reasonable looking title that Republicans did 6 years ago
